Pacquiao Still Won’t Admit How Great Cotto is
September 15th, 2009
By Manuel Perez: Manny Pacquiao still stubbornly is not admitting how great of a fighter he’s facing in Miguel Cotto. At yesterday’s press conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Pacquiao had this to say about Cotto: “He’s one of the best fighters in the world, not the best fighter.” You notice how Pacquiao had to throw in the last part where he said “not the best fighter.”
But I honestly think that losing is the best thing that could happen to Pacquiao. He needs to be knocked down a peg, put in his place so that he can learn to be a more humble fighter. I think that would be good for him. Next time when his trainer Freddie Roach snaps his fingers telling Pacquiao it’s time to start training camp, Pacquiao will maybe be wise enough to drop his commercial endorsements and fly on over to Mexico where Pacquiao can get some good training for a change.
He’s not going to get trained correctly in the Philippines, are you kidding me? The Filipino’s are going to be crawling all over that camp vying for Pacquioa’s attention. It’s going to be one big zoo for Roach, and he’s going to be like the official zoo keeper, except he won’t have anything to control the mass hordes of backside kissers that are going to be waiting on Pacquiao with baited breath.
I feel sorry for Roach. But it’s all good. Pacquiao won’t get the training he needs, he’ll Las Vegas on November 14th, and get royally beaten by Cotto. Then, maybe then, Pacquiao will admit how great Cotto is and learn something’s about humility. Pacquiao probably thinks that he’s the best fighter in the world right now. I guess I can’t blame him. He’s been having smoke blown up his backside for long it’s not even funny.
Pacquiao is going to be in for a rude awakening when he gets in the ring with Cotto. I hope Pacquiao takes his beating like a man and doesn’t crumble to pieces like some fighters. I can’t stand that when they up and quit or make never ending excuses , saying “I’m just taking a long rest from boxing.” In other words, you’re mentally shattered from the defeat and have fallen back into the infant stage of development.
I hope that doesn’t happen to Pacquiao. If it happened to me, I would want someone to put me out of my misery so that I wouldn’t be a burden to mankind. A loss like the one that Pacquiao will be suffering at the hands of Cotto will be a real brutal blow to Pacquiao’s psyche no doubt. Here he is thinking one thing, and then Pacquiao goes out and gets destroyed by a fighter like Cotto.
It would like Pacquiao would have to start all over again to try and figure who he is as a fighter. The thing of it is, if Pacquiao listened to me, I’d tell who he is, and then there would no problem for Pacquiao after he gets destroyed by Cotto. I’d tell Pacquiao, ‘Pacquiao, you’re a good fighter. You’ve beaten some small guys and proven somewhat that you’re the ruler of the roost in the lighter weight classes, except for when you fought Juan Manuel Marquez, but you’ve been something of a cherry-picker since you started moving up in weight. You’re not that good. You’re going to get killed when you face Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams and Floyd Mayweather, so accept that, okay?’

“It would like Pacquiao would have to start all over again to try and figure who he is as a fighter.” More like COTTO needs to start all over and reevaluate himself and come to terms with who he is as a fighter! Getting more tattoos on his body probably isn’t going to help him cope! FILIPINOS REPRESENT!!! Don’t underestimate!
nice thinking perez…i hope u heard pacquiao told media that “its one of my toughest fights today, i will train hard and do my best..if God wants me lose it ok..or to win its better…im just here to do my job ” isn’t that humility on his part? nice negative article though but i have to admit as a fellow writer this is a stupid one…of course cotto not is the greatest coz you’ve mentioned other great fighters here like Paul Williams and Floyd Mayweather…the logic is simple…other fighters would say that too…
HEY PEREZ AND UNKNOWN TOTYA, GANGMAREKA! BUSIRIKI BANCHOT! LOL
to unknown,
in defense to filipinos in the USand their job,, what is the relevance of this comment to pacman n cotto fight? its clear u intend this to the viewers.. well its better to know that you recognize the filipinos being productive in hte US not unlike some other race they contribute to the US as a burden to the government and society,, hhhmmmpp if u think about this its obviuos that theres no nedd to mention their race.. but please dont use the iq of perez so u can understand th emessage…
Lets give Perez some props but what is this some kind of long negative comment, I must admit that Manual Perez has something against PAC-MAN and you can tell that he only says nagative things in this article and Pacquiao is an outstanding boxer he never talks negative about other boxers he just said and I Quote “hes not the best fighter” because theres dozens of others in line waiting to make there statement in having that title and only time will tell who is the best as of now I just know that Pacquiao is the best there is….
Coto: he is also a gr8 fighter and is a none stop fighting machine that is waiting for his next opponent and is not a talk to much boxer like Floyd Maywerather. now thats a boxer that really needs to be put in his place, which I hope Marquez does the job.
Regardless of whats to come I know that a Pacqiao Vs Mayweather would be a fight of the Century.. its going to happen Oh Yes…
I think Manuel Perez and Anonymous are one and is also a pinoy…it’s just too bad and sad to hear such racially hurting words against Filipinos in general.
Why so Anonymous (aka Manuel Perez)?
Hoy, UNKNOWN.I think your way way out of line. I have a feeling that this is manuela perez,himself, talking rubbish again.perez and unknown, defenitly one.
Mr. Perez please try to read how Edgar perez write his article .That aticle is very nice to read cause it is balance and not biased.
jon, you’re giving manuela too much credit! an IQ of 2 is too much for her. she is incapable of thinking since she does not even have a brain just like unknown.
Hey unknown! what makes you better than the filipinos or any other race? your probably one of those who depend on social welfare. ignorant who has never traveled to other parts of the world thats why you have that kind of attitude. go out and see the real world it will be educational for you… go and invite manuela you are good for each other!
Obviously you’re just a hater. You totally contradicted yourself, too; I hope you know that. You’re just starting sh*t and you probably don’t even know the truth. Oh, and you have typos, noob. What kind of writer are you? If you’re just going to express your hatred for Pacquiao, then go blogging or something, sh*t.
You’re judging things you’ve never experienced first hand. You really don’t deserve a say in this. You are obviously talking out of your A** when you say these things. Did you also expect De La Hoya and Hatton to win? Go suck Cotto’s D*** somewhere else.
lets not fight with these ugly and hurting words. try ourselves to be educated and decent individuals. Lets just wait for the result.Boxing is a sport to enjoy not to quarrel among filipinos, puertoricans and mexicans.Of course as a Filipino, I prefer PACQUIAO to WIN.
Pacquiao is the best fighter of this decade.
Pacquiao vs. Coto is an exciting fight. Pacquiao had proven his power beating best fighters like ODLH and RH. Pacquiao is still the best. PACQUIAO_ WINS !!!
Did you just say that Pacquiao was “cherry picking” a washed up, shot Cotto? Now you’re saying he’s one of the best fighters in the world? I’m confused Manuela…please fill us in on your reasoning.
Cotto will never duplicate what Pacquiao did to Delahoya and Hatton. Pacquiao will beat all the fighters Cotto has fought. Your just another Pac Hater. And each time you say he will lose, he will keep proving you wrong.
That’s a fact!
tang ina mo, bwakanang ina ka perez
Cott’s fought better fighters than Manny.
That’s a fact.
Before you write something, understand it first! Cotto is not “THE” best fighter but one of the best. Cotto is not #1. And he will never admit that.
Well said Sir! Manny will be kissing the canvas Nov 14th.
I agree with Pacquaio, I think Cotto is one of the best fighters in the world, but not the best, quite simple really.
pacman is afraid of marquez, that’s why he’s climbing the weghts.
he’d rather fight dela hoya, hatton, and cotto.. than suffer marquez.
bwa ha ha ha
I’m not really a Pacquiao fan but you’ve contradicted yourself at the start of your article! You quoted Pacquiao saying “cotto is one of the best fighters in the world” and in the next sentence say “he won’t admit cotto is one of the best fighters in the world”. How the hell do guys like you and Gilford get the chance to write on this site?
Cotto is a Fighter a true Warrior, is not hatton is not an ex-boxer like De la Hoya, who is actually a businessman…and Obviously Juan Manuel Marquez won the fights vs Pacman, so this time Manny Pacquiao will face a real Fighter for his very first time, he is ignoring that, but Cotto it’s gonna give him a lesson for sure…PERIOD!
JUAN JARAMILLO callate no escribas tanta mierda aqui, baboso!
Pacman will TKO Cotto but will lose on points to Mayweather. . . .My mum is a pychic & I got her to read her cards for these fights.
Pacquiao currently is widely recognised as the best fighter in the world!
I agree that Cotto is in with a decent chance of changing that but as it stands Pac is the man!
Cotto will win… remember MATEBALL says Cotto will win this fight…
mexicans, in the US some and i gues majority cant even speak and understand english! and sociologist understand this as a low intelligent quotient..lol, and whos slave? working on the streets, and some kind of jobs that george lopez(comedian) wants people to think thats its funny but to people who has educated themselves this things about mexicans are evidence of sick minds.. their boxer even drinks its own urine,, and perez enjoy letting people know that they, mexicans enjoys dirty articles, coz its in the trace of their community life to b dirty.
funny funny funny
these comments are too funny!!!
That’s we are talkin about, Perez is back to Pacquiao bashing again after a short break.
You’re right there Mr. writer. Pac is getting over his head now taking Cotto lightly. He will soon realize that it feels to be beaten.
Y’all just can’t admit, not everybody are blinded by Pac’s empty victories and over-hyped status. What, his wins over ODLH and RH? LoL. His wins against the shot Morales in the 2nd and 3rd fight? Old Barrera? The gift wins over Marquez?
Cotto will put Pac into a week-long sleep. You better believe it. Prepare all your We-Still-Love-You lines, Pac will need it after Miguel wipes the canvas with Manny’s face.
Viva Miguel Cotto! Viva Puerto Rico! Pacquiao’s demise is scheduled on Nov 14.
cotto is a good fighter but he has yet to prove himself as a great fighter, as for pacquiao I do believe he has the advantage to beat cotto and by winning this fight he will show how great he is. I do not think cotto is a easy opponent but if he wants to win he will have to give it 150%
Mr Pokemon Peee Rez,
Pacman is not the stubborn, you are the one stubborn with a very thick skin, numb which will do everything to win attention. Your parents did not give you enough attention, now you are using us and Pacman to attract attention. You are such a shameless person which not worth even a garbage.
Can you still sleep at night with all the people here making fun of you? Ha ha ha
hey every one… who do u think is the going 2 be the next pac man …. no 1, if thr wasnt uh manny pacquiao b4 thr wont b 1 after… that pinoy flash kid did more runing away from uh mexican than roger and floyd weather.. b hopeful the new wbo champ marvin samsoa wont become that kinda fightr…. great fights between pinoys and mexicans we’ll bury mma togethr
To unknown,
Papano mo nasisikmura yung mga sinasabi mo?
@Josh,
Nah, they are not killing the sport, this site is making a killing of getting more money from readers more replies n more hits.
Mr Perez,
Have you read Tactical Warfare of East Side boxing. That’s what we call excellent boxing write up.PLS make sure you read it, it may change your writing sense.
i thought mexicans hated puerto ricans? why all the praise perez
can i just ask why yo dont go on about Mayweather at all? If you think fighters need to be humble an knocked down a few pegs then mayweather should be your first target. You only say these things because you hate Pac-man beating up all the Mexicans!
M. Perez has it correct! Manny is not focused and will be beaten! Good job Perez!
The truth hurts to some…but the article is valid.
Boxing needs dudes like Perez. Victory is so much sweeter when you gloat in front of a sore loser. Manuel is very sore and is definitely a loser.
why do you care if he does not train hard. it’s his loss. then you’ll be happy, you moronic idiot.
Perez you have no clue about boxing. Go get your facts straight you “hater”. You stupid F***.
Perez, you need to wake up. Pacquiao is exactly right. “Cotto is one of the best fighter in the world but not Great. I love watching Cotto fight myself but he certainly did not show Greatness in his last two fights. Okay Clottey is a tough opponent but I am certain Cotto lost that fight.
Cotto will not be able to destroy Pacquiao. This fight will end up in a KO and Pacquiao as the winner. Cotto is gonna get tired chasing Pacquiao (same as what he did with Clottey) and when they engage in the later rounds Cotto is going to get hit with the a “sweet Manila ice” that will buckle him and eventually to his loss. Pacquiao’s sepremacy to 7th title is already writen in stone, and you cant even see it.
And oh..! I bet you one of my cars for you ugly wife. I need someone to wash my car for the rest of its life.
you have the same comment with the Hatton and De La Hoya fight so better shut up and see what would be the result..Pacman still the best!!!
This is a great entry Perez. Keep up the good work kid. Pac Ma’aM needs to get his act straight and fast. Miguel Cotto will be ready to take on Nopolian, Hitler and Obama come Nov. 14th. So everybody that wants to bet me and lose some money come see me. Double to nothing. If I said it. Bet it. Never forget it.
Writer Manuel Perez still won’t admit he likes Manny Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao is a living legend.
After the Cotto fight, he will be in history books.
Talk about humility, you should take your own advise. You think you know everything about boxing yet get everything wrong and are too proud to admit it. When will you admit that Pacquiao is a great boxer. You are a dimwit for real and know nothing about boxing.
i like ur thinkin perez
