Pacquaio is taking it easy on Porter when they started. But Pacquaio has knocked down Porter and Porter has never ever knock down Pacquaio. In fact Pacquaio has never been knockdown ever in sparring with Freddie Roach as his trainer. Roach offered $1,000 if any of Pacquaio's sparring can knock down Pacquaio, so far, his $1,000 are still in his pockets!

Shawn Porter is a beast. He is 10-0 with 9 knockouts. Freddie Roach, Alex Ariza both say Porter is bigger, stronger, and more athletic than Cotto.

Anyway, Freddie Roach set the record straight. He said Porter DID rock Manny. But Pacquiao also knocked Porter down. Roach reiterated nobody, not Porter, knocked Pacquiao down in sparring.

You can watch some of Pacquiao-Porter sparring in the 24/7 episode 2: http://www.pacquiaovideos.net/2009/11/pacquiao-cot... (somewhere in the first 15 minutes it shows them sparring).

Porter by the way is a Middleweight, which means he's even bigger than Cotto who is a Welterweight.

Here's some more video of Porter training at Wild Card Gym: http://www.pacquiaovideos.net/2009/11/video-shawn-...

Neither of them knocked each other down. There's an interview with Porter you can catch on youtube and he says they have good, tough sparring. If he knocked down Manny he'd be wearing a "I knocked down Manny" T-Shirt.

Also, Shawn Porter aint no Miguel Cotto.

Nope

that's what i heard too
