Manny and cotto have great sportsmanship and respect towards each other. It'was business

[@johnphilip8848]

Somewhere along the way, Manny realized the speed and power of his punches could permanently hurt his opponents, and he lost some of his viciousness. I think it happened after that scary KO of Hatton. There were several fights after that where he could have finished his opponent but held back. Look at his fight with Margarito where he was pleading with the referee to stop the fight. Margarito had a fractured orbital and couldn't see Manny's punches coming anymore. Pacquiao could have absolutely finished him whenever he wanted, but Margarito would have probably been permanently blind if Pacquiao went for the kill.

[@mikefitzpatrick43]

It seems Pacquiao was holding back enough, though giving him a beating, until the ref calls it out.

Like goku, when goku realised how insanely strong he was.

[@RMASUPERFLY]

What most don't know is that Cotto and Manny are good friends. And Manny has got a good heart. He even pitied and relented giving out more punishment, declined KO'ing Margarito and begged the ref to stop the fight even though that man deserved to be slept.

[@jessemalott1900]

Manny is just a great person all around!!

[@michaeldansby1763]

Beating a man for 12 rounds isn't "Sympathy" ,it's Cruelty

[@user-be5lz4hd5r]

Meh, he let the guy finish on his feet in front of his wife and kids. From their perspective their father fought to the end. Is one way to look at it I guess.

[@DesperateHorse3000]

The code of true professional warriors

[@rapidoodsdoodles]

Same to Margarito when his team wont stop the fight Pac was telling the ref to stop the fight because margarito was helpless already and already have a broken orbital bone.

[@truerealitysrt8]

Margarito needed more punishment. The refs were right….

[@rapidoodsdoodles]

@@truerealitysrt8 Pac said he want to entertain not to kill or hurt somebody that almost irrecoverable. I get your point but it's still inhumane to still beat somebody who can't even fight anymore... unless it's someone who is truly evil.

[@Yea_Nuh]

In my untrained opinion I would rather the knockout than getting slowly punished no matter how I fought.

[@Csquared0104]

Because cotto never said bad before the fight.

[@susie-qk4ik]

I remember Pacquiao giving cotto free punches while he defend

[@jethrobrillantes235]

That free Punch Pacman broke his ear😅

[@criscris428]

honestly he could've knock him out, there was so much difference in dimension in their movement in that fight. he probably didn't cuz he wanted a show. pacquiao's lowkey a showman.

[@kosan2875]

bullshit. He tried but couldnt and didnt want to punish cotto anymore and reduce his volume of punches

[@suckmykickz]

Damn mayweather made him look basic tho

[@VannTheDawn]

He probably didn’t wanna knock someone who didn’t want to fight anymore. Cotto was done by the 6th round. If you watch Manny, he was still beating him up, and in some ways, it’s worse than a knockout. He got beat up for 6 rounds before that stoppage.

[@D.ray2490]

What a beautiful soul

[@ebola_virus1966]

Manny said that Cotto is one of the honorable opponents he encountered in the ring. When freddie said "son get him out of here" Pacquiao saw Cotto's family crying, at that moment he just wanted to win every rounds and taking the win to the judges in order for the kids to be still proud of their father by not surrendering the fight. Unfortunately, the referee stops the fight in final round.

[@alyjulmim8447]

Same with Crawford and Spence. Crawford held back and it still looked bad.

He gets paid by the round thats why. He learned his lesson when he knocked Hatton out at the 2nd round.

Everyone floyd struggled against manny destroyed easy

[@thekinglionofjudah]

If pacquio maintain his full time boxing instead of doing side gigs like being on tv and joining politics, he wouldn't get knocked out cold by Marquez. He became sloppy after dividing his time to do other things.

its because he has the heart of his mother, he is a merciful man and always willing to suffer for other. manny grew up without his father so he maybe a killer but have alot of love and mercy in his heart.

[@EliyanahAmber]

Freddie was always blindsided by the friends surrounding Manny. As a Filipino, and as a General Santos resident, it's an open secret there when it comes to betting. Most of the betting friends of Manny by that time bet for end-game results. I can name a few of those so-called "friends" but I would not. Manny was just protecting his buddies' bucks for that reason. There's one story, big names in the global boxing media didn't know it. When Manny won against De La Hoya, more than half of the Pacman team who were with him have lost in Las Vegas betting. They never expected ODH to surrender that early, even Manny himself was surprised how easy it was for him to win. Nobody thought about a TKO. All boxing analysts know about how betting by round is done in Vegas. This story was told by a friend who was with the team in Vegas...and by the way, our community leader by that time was Manny's brother, Ruel Pacquiao.

[@jvthedon82]

That’s crazy that he picks and choose who he does it to I guess Marquez mayweather and Barrera are some other fighters who chose not to do it to

[@piggywarswamp2310]

I know I'm gonna get so much hate for saying this but manny pacman is the best boxer of his era, mayweather is really good but i give it to manny and manny vs mayweather, manny clearly won I watched it so many times and i never understood why they gave mayweather the win. Im not being bias here I swear. I actually prefer mayweather's boxing style and big fan of mayweather but i still believe n kno manny is just better by a lil not gonna give a big gap cuz I like mayweather better🤣🤣🤣

[@pr3ttyb0yfl4cko]

He figured out Cotto and basically know it's over. He know he ain't losing, so he just wanna finish the fight without knocking out Cotto.

The fact is there was nothing great about Cotto. He got lucky for a while and eventually met great boxers.
