Pacquaio-Cotto II Would Be Closer Than I
“I'm down for a rematch between Pacquiao and Cotto, but we'll see if it actually happens. A couple days ago I read in a Rafael article which stated that before the Bradley fight was finalized, Cotto was the front runner but they couldn't agree on the weight. Pac wanted Cotto to come down to 147 and Cotto wanted it in the lower 150's. I agree stylistically this still favors Manny but if they do fight again this won't be a one sided annihilation like their first one. I still think Manny will edge out a win but it'll be alot more competitive this time around…no way he stops Cotto.” –Ultimo Shogun is keen to see Pacquiao and Cotto tangle again
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
