Only a couple more weeks remain before the fight. There are two 24/7s under foot and two more to go.
Do you think Manny will be able to handle the weight? Do you think Oscar can "pull the trigger?"

DJ - I don't really think Cotto exposed anything. Everybody already knew Tony had limitations. It's his ferociousness and tenacity that make him a lethal opponent. Just about everybody who gets a beat down by Tony is a better boxer. Tony just seems to find a way to negate that. Like Chavez used to do.

Some might also say the same of Cotto exposing AM.
Cotto Boxed his ears off Edogz and showed margarito's lack of techmical skills.Cotto actually undressed AM but got caught up while doing it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto and Hatton tending to there unfinished business.Cotto moved up a little early IMO.Or Cotto vs Cintron in a do or die.

Margarito showed what he really is by saying he would fight PAC .I like to watch AM fight, but if he pursued PAC-Man he would be a piece of crap IMO

INDEED But surely AM won't move up and fight @ his more natural weight so he'll most likely let this percolate awhile until Williams gets comfortable fighting @ higher weights then hope Williams will have to come back down and maybe drain himself in doing it. IDK why that fight doesn't happen at MW or JRMW since AM comes in at fight night weighing like a MW.

Floyd would never fight Cotto? Your nutz. As long as Cotto holds his head infront of his feet , he will be susceptable to uppercuts all day
Not enough money in a Cotto fight now Edog. The time has passed.

PBF vs. Pacquiao? Defenately good come back fight $$$$. Pac vs Hatton, great way to keep busy.
Margo vs PBF? PBF
Granted , 2 yrs ring rust may do PBF in. Margo needs to fight Williams ASAP.

I was rooting for Pacquiao but still surprised by how much he dominated Oscar. But, I was glad to see Oscar lose after another series of interviews where he stated that "he's in the best shape ever". He typically loses those fights.
My only GRIPE...is that they interviewed Oscar (the loser) first after the fight. I think this was a sign of COMPLETE disrespect to Manny and his team.
Way to go Larry, Jim and Manny Stewart. That was a real LOW-CLASS act on your behalf.

Go to youtube and type in the Fraud GayMatter/Oscar fight and watch Fraud's speed. Watch the Pacquiao/Oscar fight and compare the two fights.
You'll see that your belief is TRULY validated.
Pacquaio is much faster, better defense, better offense, ring generalship, punch harder, better movement,...better overall than Fraud.
And to top it off, Pacquiao hits much harder, has more heart, more tenacity, and all that with a KILLER instinct.
TRUE TO FORM....Fraud will now add Pacquiao to the list that he will never fight; Cotto, Margarito, and Pacquiao.
...cluck, cluck, cluck....
A drop of baby tears, a pound of cowardice, a dose of bitterness, a cup of Golden Oscar Wannabe, a slice of
megalomania...mix in a bowl..VIOLA...you got CHICKEN MAYWEATHER salad...
...chill and serve to Pacquiao for an easy and light SNACK!!

That's how Manny respects a fighter like him. By doing so, he even won the hearts of his opponents.

I did miss you on this forum, where have you been? No, you didnt. Work keeps me busy. How's Chicago? Freezing, nothing like our home-land but I dont miss the pollution or the jeepneys. Jeepneys scare me. Lol! Lol! So what do you think of De La Hoya? I've been a fan of his for a long time. Ok, I'll admit it...he makes great eye-candy. I expected him to perform better against Pacquiao. I didnt expect him to just stand center-ring. I am more surprised at how Pacquiao didnt take the opportunity to KO him when he visibly had the chance.

I can easily flip the script on you and ask you a similar question. You spend a lot of time complimenting the men about their posts on this forum.
