Won't be going to this. I'm choosing the Pac v Mayweather fight instead. I'm not Cotto's biggest fan either.

I've got a trip to Vegas in March of next year anyway.

[fil1979]

it's not for speaking your mind.

It's for spamming every thread, Pac Man related or not, with your inane Pacquaio love. It's for starting childish threads like your "forum members who want to see Cotto smash Pacquaio" one. It's for generally being really annoying. It's for refusing to accept anything even remotely negative about your hero. It's for refusing to be even remotely balanced or reasoned. Seriously, a lot of us liked Pacquiao but you've now created a situation where people want to see him put on his backside just to see how you react - that's plain ridiculous.


There was a thread on the off topic board a few weeks ago about man-crushes. I can't believe i've only just now had the idea of you having the biggest man crush in the history of man-crushes on Pac Man.

dude get a hold of yourself, you were doing the exact same sh*t during the build up to the pacquiao/hatton fight. Didn't you support and build up your man Ricky as well, all I'm doing is countering all statement against Pac that's all.

I think thats his point, you counter every thread that could possibly show Pac in a bad light, to the point where a group of people here that might in other circumstances have supported him, want him to lose.

What in your opinion are Manny's 3 worst traits?

indecisiveness, too trusting and a little too naive at times.

indecisiveness, too trusting and a little too naive at times.

Almost reminds me of the interview situation when you ask someone:

Q:  Do you think you have any weaknesses at work?
A:  I think sometimes I work too hard/take on too much work/too much of a perfectionist, etc.

Ha ha yes exactly, thats kind of why I asked it, in other words in Fils mind Manny is perfect!

I was doing the exact same?

I was turning every thread into a pro-Hatton rally? I was going on Pacquaio's site and winding people up? I was refusing to accept that Ricky Hatton was anything other than perfection? I was posting inane, spam crap on every single boxing thread and trying to steer the conversation toward Ricky Hatton?

I really, really, really don't think I was. Because it takes an extreme man crush and an awful lot of spare time to do those things. I have neither of them and you clearly have both of them.

“Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto have reached an agreement to fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, Nov. 14,” said Top Rank Chief Executive Officer Bob Arum. Top Rank is currently working on a major media tour to commence immediately following Labor Day weekend. Details will be announced in the near future.

Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs), of General Santos City, Philippines, has won six world titles in as many different weight divisions ranging from 112 to 140 pounds. His performance in 2008 was described as “Henry Armstrongesque” as he won world titles at 130 and 135 pounds with victories over Juan Manuel Marquez and David Diaz, respectively, and knocked out Oscar De La Hoya at 147 pounds to complete the trifecta. The winning streak continued in 2009 when he won another world title in a new weight division, dealing defending junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton a second-round knockout in May at MGM Grand.

Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs), from Caguas, Puerto Rico, has held a world title every year since 2004. Puerto Rico’s most exciting fighter, Cotto held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight crown from 2004-2006. He successfully defended it six times before vacating it to capture the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title at the end of 2006, a title he held for nearly as long. He won his second welterweight title earlier this year as he knocked out Michael Jennings in the fifth round at Madison Square Garden to become the WBO Welterweight Champion. Notable victories on Cotto’s belt include Sugar Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Joshua Clottey, Pauli Malinaggi and Demarcus Corley.

The Pacquiao vs. Cotto pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST, has a suggested retail price of $49.95.

I don't know yet, I'm waiting for Pac's fight with Mayweather though....I saw him guesting on a local TV show yesterday and he was put in a polygraph test just for fun. When it came to the final question of whether Cotto will be his last fight or not before he enters politics he refused to answer the question. Basically confirming that he will not yet retire after Cotto.
