We don’t know that he’s damaged goods, but there is that worry.

But see, I’m not sure if Pac is decidedly faster than Cotto. Our own Duan thinks that Cotto is the right guy to beat Pac and he studies this stuff more than I do.

Marquez is definitely on the other side of his prime, but that’s not the reason he lost. He lost because Floyd was bigger, stronger, and faster.

The ESPNEWS boxing analyst just called Cotto “damaged goods” and said he was mentally and emotionally scared, and implied that his fight with Pac-Man will be a virtual replay of the Money Mo fight – the faster man picking apart a fighter not in his league. I won’t write him off, you won’t, but their man all but did.

BTW GG I’m curious as to your reaction to this statement he made: “Marquez is a tremendous representative of the sport both outside and inside the ring, but he’s in the twilight of his career.”

I think it’s going to be a great fight. I don’t think we can forget about Cotto just yet.

Maybe I’m assuming too much but I don’t think he’ll have a problem with Cotto. ESPN’s announcers were saying nobody at Mayweather’s weight, +EVEN+ Pac-Man, can offer him a challenge given his speed and finesse. We’ll just see when the time comes.

Manny has to win though.

Also, you would’ve loved the post fight interview with Floyd which was straight out of WWE.

Err play by play. Still got UFC on the brain. Anyway glad to see Mayweather got the unanimous (and lopsided) decision to set up a possible huge fight with Pac-Man next year. ESPN just confirmed it.

Loving the replay GG. Then again, I’m happy any time Money Mayweather does well.

Woo-hoo! About time. I sat through a dull Rob Emerson v. Rafael dos Anjos fight just waiting for this.
