Aye,great performance by the pac-man.Incredible effort by Cotto to last so long,even though i thought it should have been stopped after 9 rounds.Pacquiao and Mayweather can make it arguably the biggest fight in history,start picking a winner now !

Oh yeah!



Great fight and once again Pacquaio was absolutely sensational. His speed is the best in the sport, faster than Mayweather even. I was a bit disappointed the fight got stopped in the 12th really when it ould have been stopped earlier. It felt a bit unfair on Cotto really, but Pac would've won anyway.

Mayweather v Pacquaio HAS to happen now. It would be the biggest fight of the last 10 years or so.

Set it to record on sky + but it only went up to the 3rd round.. It was meant to tape the programme after the fight as I thought it might run over but it had a "power cut" always happening

From what I saw thought it looked as if it was going to be a cracking fight

Paqieuou got too be considered 1 of the best now 5 weight world cahampion and hes not shirked the big fight. Him and Mayweather would be the biggesat fight in history IMO. He made Cotto 1 of the best boxers in the world look like a kid last night

You've got to have huge respect for Cotto though. To stay in the fight until practically the end when he'd taken a beating like he had was fantastic. He has the biggest heart in boxing.

and he was devastated at that

shouldnt of stopped it its unfair on a boxer with the size of heart he has got he hung in all night doesnt deserve a KO at the side of hes name

The stoppage was ridiculous. If the ref was going to stop it he should've done it in the 8th or 9th. Cotto had got through the worst and Pacman was tiring at the end.

couldnt agree more Cotto was devastated granted he was never going to win but hes sisnt deserve too get so far and then have astupid stoppage like that

Let's be honest all Mayweather is going to do is pile on the pounds to cheat his way to victory. Go Manny!

What a fighter Pacquiao is .One of the best Ive ever seen. He just beat Cotto up throughout the 12 rounds. The ref should have stopped it sooner imo.

Guess if/when the big fight happens, everyone willl be rooting for Manny?

Hell yeah.

Manny, Manny, Manny!

Well fair play to Pacquiao he was awesome and is a top 20 ATG atleast now. And if he beats Mayweather he could become the best figher of all time. I hope Floyd wins though.

They say styles make fights....Well, I'm not too sure that Pacquiao v Mayweather would make for a classic.

One thing can be sure, and that is Floyd Mayweather wouldn't go walking onto punches like DeLaHoya, Hatton & Cotto all have in Pacquiao's last 3 fights....Mayweather hardly ever gets tagged and there is little to suggest that Pacquiao would change that.

Last night was a damn effective display from the Pac-man, but if truth be told then Cotto's defence was absolutely abysmal, head movement was nil and he was walking forward in straight lines, which was perfect for Pacquiao.

I'm not saying that Pacquiao has no chance...With Roach in his corner, then anything is possible....But the formline with Marquez suggests that Mayweather would be too slick and strong for Manny.

Floyd for me

Whilst I admire Mayweather's skills, I just can't cheer for him. The reason I watch his fights is in the hope that someone knocks him out or at least knocks him down. I'm not sure Pac will manage to do it, but if anyone is equipped to do it in the sport right now, it's him.

What a fight and what a fighter. According to most reports he was singing in a concert 4 hours after the fight!

The guy gets better and better.

With regards to Cotto walking straight in to the punches. It's widely known how much Roach studies his opponent for months before the fight. I'm sure Roach knew he would do that so built his plan around that. He'll study Mayweather (if they fight) and try find a chink in the armour to exploit. Doesn't matter how good Mayweather is, there must be something Roach can - and will IMO - find.

Yes i agree, and people call Haye cocky.

Floyd for me, think it would be very close though.

He's just said Pacquiao is one-dimensional. Course he is, Floyd!!

My money would be heavily on Mayweather if the fight does happen to be honest, as much as I'd like to see Pac Man spark him.

Great performance from the Pac-man. He completely dismantled Cotto to a bloody mess.

Mayweather will be (hopefully) a different prospect. There were plenty of chinks in Pacquio's defence and a couple of times early on Cotto looked to cause him problems on the ropes. With Mayweathers blistering hand speed, stunning punch accuracy and utter illusiveness I think he could and probably would dismantle Pacquio.

People moan about Mayweather's arrogance but for me when someone's as good as he is I think they should be like Floyd in a way. Charachters like Floyd are what sets boxing apart from any other. And I don't know why but Manny seems fake to me and it seems like he is more interested in the celebrity than boxing.

And Mayweather isn't!?!

Beat me to it.



I just love the way Manny fights. He is an attacking fighter and is alot more exciting to watch than Mayweather who is cagey and defensive.
