Cotto vs. Pacquiao: Manny Will be fighting a war with a popgun
October 19th, 2009
By Manuel Perez: I see Manny Pacquiao getting the living daylights beaten out of him on November 14th by WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in their fight at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas. Pacquiao may or may not have gone soft on us – we’ll find that out next month on November 14th – but he hasn’t exactly been setting the world on fire by facing an overrated Ricky Hatton and a shot Oscar De La Hoya.
But what I believe we have here is a good old fashioned case of overreach on the part of Pacquiao. He’s faced an old, weight drained and badly shot Oscar De La Hoya and beaten him, and then Pacquiao has beaten Ricky Hatton, who looked as played out as an old dried up oil well at the time that Pacquiao fought him.
The wins, great money makers both of them for Pacquiao, give the impression that Pacquiao is nearly unbeatable. Who knows? He may be, but unless we see Pacquiao in against the very best, we have no way of knowing for sure.
Now we get to see Pacquiao in with a fighter that is still at the top of his game and not shot. Well, Cotto is a little diminished from his beating at the hands of the tough Mexican Antonio Margarito last year, but he’s still fighting at around 80% of what he was in the past. That should be enough for Cotto to get by Pacquiao.
Boxing fans needlessly are gushing over Pacquiao right now, praising how fast he is and this and that. He’s fast but he probably doesn’t have enough power at welterweight. Pacquiao is strong at the smaller weights. De La Hoya said himself that Pacquiao doesn’t punch hard. I have to believe an old champion like De La Hoya. He’s a great warrior and he’s telling it like it is. Pacquiao is fast, De La Hoya says, but he doesn’t seem to hit that hard from what I’ve seen of him.
So all Cotto has to worry about is landing his own big shots and don’t waste time worrying about getting hit by Pacquiao. He’s not the knockout threat that all these people are proclaiming him to be and fans will see that next month when he gets handled. I think Cotto is going to take Pacquiao to the wood shed and give him a terrible beating.
I think Pacquiao is going to be physical wreck by the time Cotto’s gets through with him. You ever seen someone that was in a bad car wreck? You know, with the bloody face, sideways nose, lips all busted up and teeth littering the car. This is how I see Pacquiao ending up by the time that Cotto gets through with him next month. Oh, it will be sad to see Pacquiao beaten so badly. I just hope it doesn’t go on too long. I hate when the referees allow one-sided fights to go too long causing a fighter to get needlessly pummeled for no good reason.

Guys after the cotto fight i would like to think this mans special or his oponent this time cotto made him look like a super humna coz he used the wrong tactics to slug him. (which every one thought was rt for him to do as hes considered bigger..he wasnt!)
God cotto couldnt slug with him which every one thought would be his strong point.
secondly he din try to counter him..which was foolish
thirdly when he changed his tactics to box him it was probably too late.
screw cotto and manny… the only fighter that will knock manny out is marquez and we all know this.. hes was robed both fights.. GO MARQUEZ…..
Man i just replayed my cotto moseley match up, i dont know how pacmans gona with stand his pressure..hes way too big for pacman and cottos got tht heavy hands man…hes got some power behind those shots
could it end like dela hoya -hopkins fight, think thts a posibility, hes got heavy body attack
lets wait and watch..Love it, Thanks to these gladiators…
Miguel will prey & stalk Manny like a cat & strike at the right moment…Manny’s great reflexes & fighter instincts will side step lock his back foot for leverage & release a lightning speed Right Hook over Miguels Left & connect Miguels jaw knocking him out standing like Hatton……this will happen in the 9th round….Manny Pacquiao THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD & STILL THE BEST POUND 4 POUND KING EVER….YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!Aloha
“Maunuel perez is a clown”- mate i know roch is gona give him plan to box cotto but when it matters the most in the heat of the battle ur plan goes right out of the window and ur true self comes up..and pac is gona have to trade with cotto
its up to cotto to force that pressure on pacman offcourse if he can do that….and i dont think pacman is that great fighter like sugar ray lenard who really can switch styles with ease and box cotto all 12 rounds
but yes he has this in and out thing that is jump in with flury of punches and jump back out real fast ability…
lets see how effective that will be…
over all i think pacman still has the edge…but i dont see it going the distance either way as both are instinctively fighters and dont mind loading up
why does everyone think pac is going to bang with cotto in the early rounds? he’s not going to stand in front of cotto and trade. he will lose that way. he’s gonna dance and let cotto come after him. he’ll just pot shot until cotto tires.
but what i’ve heard lately is that cotto might try to follow JMM’s route and just sit back to counter punch. but i dont think it will last. cotto is known for straying from the game plan.
pac via unanimous decision.
It is said that this asian boxer will recieve a lot of heavy punches to the body. And before the referee could stop the fight a left hook caught him at the temple causing his eyes to pop out and fall to the ground. Both his ears dripping with blood. Then a right shovel punch will seperate his lower jaw from the upper jaw. And while he is falling on his back, a left overhead punch will hit him on his chest causing his heart to explode.
Cotto the asian boxer, Pacquiao’s too strong for you. Beware of his body punches and his left hook.
It was foretold by a great fortune teller that on the night of Nov. 14, in Las Vegas, a famous boxer from Asia will be beaten to death by his opponent in the ring. This will happen at around the 6th or 7th round in the figth. Is Cotto Asian? I think this fight should be cancelled for the sake of Cotto. Maybe Pacquiao’s too strong for him.
manny will bake a burrito out of him watch. this is Chief Quitoriano of the us navy. the cousin of manny pacquiao
pistol pete….#1 you called me idiota…hmm hitting below the belt. I must have hurt your feelings. #2 Pistol Pete is a name dubbed for a basketball player..his name is Pete Maravich…so idiota you’re in the wrong sport…Manny will get your man…Miguel is too sloooooooowwwww
hey stick to boxing comments… unknown your a lowlife for starting this… please keep your comments to boxing…pacquiao has been fighting heavier fighters all his career cotto is nothing special.he’s got power that’s it. he cannot make adjustments…it’s the same style…he’s your typical power puncher…margarito, if he did cheat absorbed a lot of punches from cotto but after that tables were turned…and cotto was not able to change his strategy…if cotto is not able to ko pac in the early rounds he’ll pay dearly… around the fifth round he’s going to swell or even bust up…by 8 or 9th tko or even a ko…don’t be surprise if it ends sooner though via powerful straight left down middle or repeated right hooks to the temple of cotto. pac has the speed of a featherweight and the strength of a middleweight…just watch…
Hey Manuela,
Good that you were able to get out of the mental hospital to write stupid stuff again! LOL. I can see you with your horns and tail and laughing BRUHAHA (devil) while stirring the pot while people are responding to your blog! Any way I want to make fun of you too, you know. Come November 15 you will be hiding in your mom dress because all the boxing fans will be looking for you and want to pinch you like crazy!!!
unknown… You got your own identity.. Slave from the Spaniards. You can’t stand on your own until now you speak their language. Philippines is a very small country but no one can conquer it because fight to the end. No retreat no surrender. Not like your country they run and cry in a cave and be a slave to anybody. Loooseerrrr. We’re just so smart to be outsmart from your people.
hey aloha… before you said you’re american… now you sound like a filipino… see what I mean? you pretentious people… you’re a snake… you are like rats dressed in squirel skin… be honest to yourself and to everybody around you…
you don’t even know what you really want… you want identity… and yet you want to be identified as chinese or japanese… you even want to have american or spanish blood flowing in your viens… you don’t also have your own culture… your a copier of other cultures… ask yourself if you have music that you can say that’s filipino music (without the lyrics)… NONE…
filipino did not fight real wars… they fight like rats… sneak and attack…
Spain sold you to America after the Spanish-American war… that’s why Spain left Philippines… and spain and america conquered Philippines in so many ways… filipinos had been conquered through brute force and through brain washing… that’s why you people are too “americanize”… haven’t you notice it? that’s why you are known as brown americans (american wanna bes)… but did america accept you as one of their own… no they did not… america accepts Puerto Rico as one of them… and still Puerto Ricans maintains their identity as a people… but you… you scattered around the world and merge with different cultures and pretended that you’re one of them… spanish influence? you people only got all there negative traits…
yes mexicans lost texas, arizona, california and some other states to the americans but mexico is still a huge country… about as large as the east coast… and mexicans still have their culture… their pride… and their identity as as a people…
and laugh youself… maybe your also illegally staying here in the US… why did you tell them that you will only be here as a tourist… and yet you’re still here after so many years…
Cotto thinks he is fighting a stationary target. He fired sparring partner Gato Figueroa because he was boxing him too well and won’t stand up straight and be a heavy bag like his previous opponents. Gato made him look like a regular ‘run of the mill’ club fighter and did not trade toe to toe like he wanted. Sorry, Manny is not going to do the same. He will move and pop with so many combinations that he cannot even count with his fingers and make him see stars. Then he will make short work of him like he never experienced in his previous fights. You think Margarito made him quit? He ate a lot of uppercuts in that bout. PacMan will make him cry that he ever stepped in the same ring with him.
hoy, yeah you entered US legally but you stayed illegally… US open its borders to you in good fate… but you have hidden selfish agenda… and intend to stay illegally… that only shows how pretentious a person you are… don’t be a snake…
…and most of you filipinos are even illegal here in america… so don’t tell me about crossing the b0rder cr*p…
and yet the filipino speaking people is 6th in population here in the US…
come to think of it, Philippines is half way across the globe with a great body of water seperating it from the US…
hoy, if Philippines is in the border of the US I’m sure all of you pinoys will be crossing the borders also…
“lowest hispanic race”… you sound like a races… and besides, I’m not sure if you ever heared of the Mayans and the Aztecs (since it sounds like you did not go to school, or you go to school but with very poor quality of education)… for your information, Mayans and Aztecs are advance civilization people and they’re Mexicans…
knowing how to speak english is not a measure of intellect… if that’s how you think then you’re an idi0t… most chinese and japanese here in the US can’t speak english… and those that can, speaks limited and broken english… and yet they “rule”…
again being in conflict with somebody does not mean you’re smart… don’t tell me people in jail are smart… that’s just being rebelious and being difficult…
base on what you’re telling me… it looks like the measure of inteligence in the Philippines is being good in speaking english and being in conflict with somebody to show that you have your own ideas… that’s lame and shallow…
hoy, you’re funny… you sound like you don’t know anything and yet you pretend you know something… tsk, tsk,tsk… typical filipino…
who said Spain is Mexico?… Spain is in Europe and Mexico is in America… and Mexico is a colony of Spain before…
Hawaiian Man…u had it right up until ur predicted winner. its gonna be Miguel Cotto Remains WW Champ and is the new WBC Diamond Belt Champ, and the new P4P King.
you idiota!
ADIOS
manuel, i know u can write, atleast alil but crap.. u must’ve been paid for this, dnt waste ur life perez get a real job
These two fighters are champions in their own right…a lifetime of trials & tribulations they both endured on their journey to what they are now Polished & Finessed…It’s difficult to change styles at this juncture…each were able to adapt to opponents styles so this means two almost perfect Champions will clash & the best man wins…..Manny Pacquiao…..THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD & STILL THE BEST POUND 4 POUND KING OF ALL TIMES….Aloha
Way to take a perfectly laid out history lesson and completely distort it at the end.
hoy, read your history books…
From 1565 to 1821 Philippines was ruled by Spain through Mexico (since Mexico was a colony of Spain). So basically Mexico ruled Philippines. And when Mexico had its independence from Spain on 1821 it was then that Spain took over Philippines (from 1821 to 1898). Then after the Spanish-American war Spain sold Philippines to the Americans on 1898 (1898 Treaty of Paris) for 20 million (along with Puerto Rico and Guam). From 1898 to 1946 Philippines was a colony of the US along with Puerto Rico and Guam. Then on July 4, 1946 US grant Philippines its independence while making Puerto Rico and Guam its territory. America thought that it’s a headache to keep Philippines because the filipinos keep on complaining and are a very difficult people to please. That’s why until now there are still group of people in the Philippines who are in conflict with the government since it is the filipino nature to be always against on something.
This just in. Manny the Pac Man has developed his right hook’s power and is almost on par with his left hand. It is like having a .45 colt to go with his .357 Magnum left. Cotto better have a metal plate attached to his skull or it will be lights out! The KO punch is the one he won’t see coming and as we all know Manny pulls the trigger with lightning speed and rapid fire succession. He will turn this guy around like a pin wheel and make it difficult for Cotto to fire at a good angle all the while ambushing him from all sides. Sorry Miguel your trench war style won’t work with a blitzkrieg offense. You will wake up on the seat of your pants not knowing how it all even started. . .
hoy…. we shall see, we shall see
I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH PACMAN, BEFORE THIS FIGHT, NONE, DIDNT LIKE EM OR DISLIKE EM, BUT NOW I HATE EM, AND ITS BECAUSE OF THE PINNOYS NOT EVEN BECAUSE OF HIM. I MEAN THESE PEOPLE ARE RIDICULOUS, 90% OF EM HAVE NO BOXING KNOWLEDGE THEY JUST KNOW HE IS FIGHTING AND HE WAS BORN IN THE SAME COUNTRY THEY WERE BORN IN, AND SO NATURALLY THEY PICK EM TO WIN.
EXAMPLE OF PINNOY KNOWLEDGE:
1) (SOMEONE JOKINGLY SUGGESTS HE FIGHT VITALI K.)
(PINOS REACTION) VITALI WILL BE OUT BY THE 6TH ROUND HE HAS NEVER SEEN SPEED LIKE THIS, NO FEAR!!!THATS WHAT HIS SHORT SAY, ANYWAYS I LOST MY THOUGHT CAUSE I WAS THINKG ABOUT MANNY, BUT LIKE I SAID VITALI OUT BY ROUND 2″
2)(SOMEONE JOKINGLY SUGGESTS MANNY ARM WRESTLES GOD)
(PINOS REACTION)GODS GONNA LOSE, I MEAN MANNY BRINGS HIS POWER UP EVERYTIME HE MOVES UP IN WEIGHT, GOD BROKEN ELBOW BEFORE THEY EVEN START!
WRITE THIS DOWN SOMEWHERE AND PULL IT OUT AFTER THE 8TH NOV. 14TH. COTTO WILL BE THAT PINNOY OUT OF MANNY, MATTER FACT COTTO WILL HIT MANNY SO HARD JENKIE IS GONE GET A BLOODY NOSE, U WILL SEE.
hoy ur a fu*&in idiot. all those quotes are goin to be proven wrong, and the whole world should be shocked since every god damn else is goin for some shrimp called pacman
I made the mistake of visiting this website. I thought it was operated by professional journalists. At any rate, I’ll be back here on the night of November 14th, we all should, so we can laugh Manuel Perez out of this pathetic website.
this is clearly a fools idea about boxing a commentator who dont have much knowlege about boxing… are you joking? pacquiao is entering a 7 world division title hows that no boxer even reach this point only he… after the clouds clear people will bow to the knees of the king…
It is doubtful if Manny could go 3 rds with a faded Oscar Larios at this point.
If Pacquiao loses as you think he will, comes out of the fight a wreck and be destroyed by Cotto. Why not take my advice and get a payday by fighting Pacquiao.
PACQUIAO …….IN 9TH ROUND!!!!!!
all i hope is that it will be manuel perez in that car wreck. having a bloodied and broken face is not enough to satisfy me. I really want him to suffer long and hard before the inevitable happens. and paramedics are too busy to attend to him since they’re all celebrating pacman’s victory. that’s the news i wanna hear come nov 14. I do wish this happens.
another amateur article from a below par witer wannabe
Hey Manuel, maybe you are still daydreaming when you wrote this article, jejeje. De La Hoya? The sour graping boxer turned fight promoter?Yes, sour graping because he lost a magnifent fighter named Pacquiao and Mr. Arum of Top Rank is reaping all the money from Mr. Pacquiao’s fight, Man, De La Hoya has a lot to learn from Mr. Arum when looking for a fighter that has the heart to be a true winner like Pacquaio. Hatton? He got no skill and speed like Manny have that’s is why he slept too early in the fight. So i advise you Mr. Manuel to wake up first before writing your article in ths site hehehehe.
Manny has power through speed & balance…martial arts technique….Manny locks his back foot at the moment his opponent steps forward & that’s when Manny unleashes his newly developed Right Hook over Miguel’s left hook connecting with a blinding shot to his (Miguel’s) jaw & Knocks him Out standing-up like he knocked Hatton out….Manny By 5th round KO & NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD & STILL THE BEST POUND 4 POUND KING EVER…..Aloha
Cotto has great power in both hands and a vicious bodypuncher!! But not many knows Manny’s secret. His left hook is loaded with a muzzle of a .357 Magnum! That is why his bigger opponents are very surprised how much power his punch generates when ever he connects to the kisser.
Luv it when the Pac is being made the smaller, overrated underdog. Luv it when everyone eats their words after the fight. Dream on. . . Cotto will get dropped in five! And yeah right, Pac Man has no power and slower that PBF. Eat your heart out!!
well… how can you believe a man saying, pacman doesn’t punch hard while he’s sitting on a stool instead of fighting him in the ring.
And you believe in him because he’s a great warrior!
well… for what I know a warrior is a soldier ready to kill or to be killed. But for you a “great” warrior is a man who quit on his stool.
well… you know Mr. Perez, a reader can distinguish between a good and bad writer.
even the PR boxing expert(mario rivera?) who’s supposed to side with cotto chose pacquiao to win.people don’t listen to this nimcompoop. pacman by ko or tko 7 or 8…u can bet on it
cotto newest video out
he looks slow and plump and lazy no head movement at all, manny going to conect 4 to 1 that over 70 punches I dont think cotto face is going to hold up,corner will stop it manny tko, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYm5l-RmlXs&feature=player_profilepage#
paquiao is on steroids… his head is getting bigger, is a side effect from steroids…
i’m a mexican fan, i love pacquiao because he fight like a true mexican fighter, i don’t hate him because some called him mexicutioner, i know majority of mexicans love pacquiao a lot except this man mr. perez who has had too much anger with pacman. your fool mr. perez you can’t accept you’re such a loser your not a mexican, because mexicans are not losers. viva mexico
“Now we get to see Pacquiao in with a fighter that is still at the top of his game and not shot.” – so Mr. Perez, no excuse if/when Cotto loses; right? NO EXCUSES!!!!
Manuel – don’t be a hater.. What reasons do you have cooking up your idiotic brain when Cotto looses ? De la Hoya had his, ” I guess I was dehydrated;” when clearly, repeated interviews with him and his camp before the fight painted a confident and brash pediction of a win. National sportswriters picked De la hoya hands down to give Pacqiauo a beating. In Hatton, well you had ” oh finally Pacqiauo has met his match!” Oh but Hatton got his daylights blown out, So now excuses like – Hatton was over rated, he was never really that good after all…. What else ?
You get the picture Manuel ? What excuses will it be this time ? Here’s one I can let you use, ” Pacqiauo is from another planet. He’s from Ur-anus.” There you have it.

Aloha- I love you cold hard facts! One more to add- Bernard Hopkins also picking Pacquiao as the only one who can beat him is himself.
Cotto is too strong to be botherd by a non-welterweight. What was Manny thinking when he took this fight!! He needs to change the folks around him – they are obviously looking at the $$ and not his best interest. Pac fans should be scared with good reason, myself included.
Boxing Experts/Coach/Trainers:
1. Dean of Puerto Rican boxing Mario Rivera Martino: Manny Pacquiao prevails over Miguel Cotto. (Puerto Rico)
2. Pacquiao Will Knock Cotto Out in Six, Says Beristain. (Mexican)
Sparring partners for Pacquiao/Cotto:
Cotto’s sparring partner said:
Francisco ‘El Gato’ Figueroa, I don’t know what to think about his fight with Pacquiao but at this point all I can do is wish him luck. There’s no hard feeling from my end.
Pacquiao’s sparring partner:
Castillo, Pacquiao is too sharp for Cotto.
Why Puerto Rican & Mexican boxing great trainers selected Pacquiao?
Why Cotto’s sparring partner can’t even predict about the fight while Pacquiao sparring partner predicted about the figth?
Manuela do you think you’re better than these people? bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Let’s just hope and pray that Cotto will not get hurt seriously.
Pacquiao can easily KO Cotto.
Pacquiao by KO in early round, maybe round 2.
If ever Cotto gets up after a devastating KO, he will be saying “Pacquiao too fast…too strong!”
Let me think. What will be Manuela’s Top 4 excuses for Cotto’s loss.
#4. Cotto did not have enough experience with his current trainer
#3. Cotto should have never been forced to fight at 145lbs ana weight drained.
#2. Cotto overtrained and peaked too early as he stated training four weeks before Pacquiao did.
#1. Cotto hasn’t been the same since he fought Margarito as Margo had loaded gloves.
There you have it folks. Manuela’s top excuses for Cotto’s loss.
why do you always have to write about manny pacquiao? you hate him and you make your living by writing biased articles against him. You should have a little conscience in your heart. He did not do anything bad against you. I hope you will regret your actions. You are just riding along Pacman’s popularity. You are just another racist. I hope the law of Karma will happen to you.
unknown.. Your country already sent all your great boxers from Mexico to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao kick there butt. Puerto Rico is not Mexico. Don’t compare your country to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is deccent country and it’s under the USA. Not like the Mexicans they cross the border to be illegal allien.
unkonwn… Spaniards are not Mexicans. Spaniards were in the Philippines for few years not the Mexicans. Spaniards are much deccent people than Mexicans. What do you hear from Mexico? Druglords? What a shamed. They try to be even to the Spaniards who went to the Philippines to Christianize the Filipino. Not like the Mexicans who cross the borders of United States of America to be an illegal alien or to be a drug lords. The Philippine country is a whole lot better than Mexico.
Your articles are pure fantasy. You should be a fantasy story book writer on your spare time. I love how as we get closer to fight date, you write how Pac will lose more devastatingly than your last article. I think you secretly are PacMan’s #1 boxing fan and just love to rile other Pac fans up to show how much support there is for him.
You should read what the Dean of Puerto Rican boxing Mario Rivera had to say – he gives Cotto only a slim chance of an upset victory. In case you don’t know who Mario is (although you should since you are a boxing journalist) he is a veteran journalist who is now public relations director for the Puerto Rican based WBO and I’m sure has 100X more boxing knowledge than yourself.
jealousy…Manuel Jealous Perez…
Oscar de la Hoya quit on his fight against Pacquiao…you know why??? take a look again and watch the fight..hehehe. see the face of De la Hoya.. always a lot of excuses..cannot accept defeat..if he did not quit..he will be like Hatton and Diaz sleeping at the end of the fight..
Manuel has eaten his words in the past but owning himself really does not make a difference to a person who is pathetic.
All perez wants to do is be a winner even if it is just in his own imagination. Remember how he called pacman scared of Ricky Hatton based on a stare down; that was all based on the fanatical mind of mr. Perez; or the great article he wrote about pacman being boring or the one where he glorifies the thought of pacman being beat by sparring partners only to down play it when he realizes it is the opposite. This guy is so cool. The way to own perez is just to link past articles to the comment section because he owns himself.
on your previous articles…cotto is powerful, top of his prime etc, but now tho his still on the top of his prime and can still beat pac, you mentioned that his already diminished and just about 80%…hmmm little by little u’re finding a future excuse ei?!
hehehe you’re really funny manuela.
I agree with the greatest writer of all time, Manuel Perez. Pacquiao will loss this November 14. He is no match to the great boxer Cotto. Pacquiao will be shreded to pieces. He will be knocked out that’s for sure. But if ever this prediction will be wrong and Pacquiao wins then the damaged done by the great mexican boxer Margarito to Cotto was really really great and have not really been realized. Since Cotto is suppose to win and that Pacquiao is not in the same level as any Puertorican or Mexican boxers. No filipino boxer will ever be a tenth in skill of the least Mexican boxer. No filipino can ever be compared to any Mexican. Filipinos are just slaves of Mexicans for 300 years. Philippines was ruled by Spain through Mexico. Mexicans spit on filipinos for 300 years, stepped on their faces and take their wives and daughters to the leasure.
Good Article the best on this moment sorry for pac fans but is true.. Pac is going down this time very hard war is coming soon mgm grand las vegas nov 14 the fight of the year I can’t wait no more. I hope it was tomorow. Cotto will tko pac in the 7 round jajajajaja yeah
Good god, you’re underestimating Pacquiao, probably the fastest and most accurate boxer in boxing history. It’s very likely that Cotto will get cracked in the first three rounds from the relentless onslaught of Pacquiao. When that happens, Cotto’s a punching bag, and Pac will run circles around him, blasting him to kingdom come.
Your analysis is WAY off!
COTTO ALL THE WAY THEN MAYWEATHER
after watching pacquaio’s last two fights theres one thing for certain-this guys going to be punching back
I think Coach Roach moved his knockout prediction to the 1st round! Pacman Ko’s Cotto in 1.
My question is this:
When Pacquiao’s hand is held up after the fight, what will your article say on Sunday, November 15th?
It should read: “I was wrong.”
If Cotto punishes Pacquiao and wins, I’ll apologize for thinking you are a simpleton who doesn’t know boxing from soccer. But if Pacquiao comes out on top, I better not read “Cotto was overrated.”
How many times has the “Pac-Man” fought future Hall of Famers?
Barrera (2x), Marquez (2x), Morales (3x), De La Hoya, Hatton.
That’s 9x, and come fight night on the 14th (don’t forget to catch the 24/7 series) of November, it’ll be 10x against Puerto Rico’s future hall of famer.
How many future Hall of Famers has Floyd Jr. fought? I’m guessing around 5.
If the “Pac-Man” was Mexican, you’d be writing about him in another light…Guaranteed.
As usual Manuel you are 100% correct. Great Job!!
LONG LIVE THE P4P KING!!!!!
this writer is a moron and should be writing ABC books for kids!
just shut your piehole and eat your dirty word!
Mike Tyson said Buster Douglas was his toughest opponent, not because he hit hard, but because he hit him so many damn times. Come Nov. 14th, Cotto will be saying the same thing.
If dela Hoya claimed Manny does not hit hard then why the hell did he gave up, why were his handlers worried about him getting serious damages, why did he try to hold on to the rope as if to avoid going down in the late rounds, why was his face got badly bruised and eyes swollen. Maybe at welterweight Manny’s punches won’t bother Cotto but him receiving say 20-30 power punches, I still see him getting cuts that will eventually lead to a late KO for a Pacman win.
Another article from Mr. Perez, the pacman hater!!! I like Cotto! He’s my idol, but Manny will win anyway!!!
I definitely think Cotto hits too hard for Pac to survive this one. Please look at the way he ended the fight with Branco: a left hook to the shoulder! Only time I’ve ever seen anything like that. As good as Pac may be, what did he do? Beat ODH? Mosley beat him twice and Cotto did beat Mosley. Does anyone really think that Cotto wouldn’t have beaten ODH the same day Pac did? Pac hit Oscar a bunch of times, but he didn’t knock him out, Oscar just didn’t answer the bell. Cotto probably would’ve beaten Oscar the same way Hopkins did, down & never getting up.
Same old sh*t from Perez!!
I think cotto will beat up really bad paquiao. They are both strong but cotto has a good left hook that if manny doesn’t get away from him at the fight he is going to kiss the floor.
funny article, stupid but entertaining.
wether there is profe or not I think Margarito cheated.I believe Cotto is still strong not diminished.This guy got carried away and shouldnt underestimate pacman.Although there is alot of hype about his last two fights, I hate to say it but have to agree with that.I think cotto will win this fight,Hope he dose anyway.
Let me tell you if you are Puertorican and you go for pac you aren’t a trully Puertorican, and if you know about boxing, you should know that what perez said is true. Set your self on FIRE non Puertorican
This guy is an idiot. Pacman is continuing to fight the best fighters in the world. Never backing down from a challenge, unlike Floyd JR. U suck m. Perez. If pacquiao was Mexican you would be on his jock.
Ask Ricky Hatton if Manny brought a popgun to the war.
Hey wait up. Didn’t this idiot predict Hatton was going to whoop Pacquiao. Hatton was shot now? This Writer sucks, coming from a Cotto fan.
i’m for pacquiao but cotto is a rock. he can survive 7 to 8-punch power combinations for 12 rounds. and while i know speed kills, speed also kills the driver who drives too fast. cotto is not that fast but still fast enough to land those power punches, and formidable enough to land them while being punched. i don’t care if shawn porter was floored by manny. porter is weaker than cotto. and what is more dangerous is that manny’s right side (as a southpaw)is just fair target for cotto’s left the whole night. so i don’t know how manny can avoid that unless he can switch to being right-handed.
there’s no chance in hell that cotto will beat pacquiao. manny will knockout miquel on the 3rd round
Keep dreaming Manuel Perez. November 15, 2009, you’re going to wake up with an a&&-hole on your face. Manny will beat Cotto like a pinata.
Manuel Perez, your an idiot!
Dude…. as much as I love reading an article that agrees with my prediction… this is a bit to simple for my taste. At least tell us how Cotto is going to be able to get to Pacquio… use of a jab, switch hitting, counter punching… hell give us something we can take to the bank.
I personally see A good big fighter beating a great small one. Cotto has all the tools to win this one… is a matter of fact he has more tools at his disposal than speed an a straight left hand – as Pacquio does. I believe that Cotto is the better boxer, is bigger, stonger and has the heaviest hands. This along is enoght to give him the needed edge.
There are idiots then there are “should have been aborted creations” like Manuel Perez.
that is exactly what will happen to you manuela perez
Seems about right.Cotto in ten.Recently It.seems that you have been on a crusade.This article seems fair in comparison.
I’m Puerto Rican. First of all Cotto is not diminished.
Secondly, I don’t know why they are letting you write. Your perspective does not make sense. Your hatred to Pacquiao shows that you are envy of the guy. Is it because most of the fighters he had beater were Mexicans?
beware mr. perez. you might be eating your words on the 14th. de la hoya is indeed a champion but him saying that pacquiao doesnt hit hard? he may not hit THAT hard but bec of his speed, it doubles the impact and compensates everything else. what’s with the hatred to pacquiao? what we have here is FOOLS GOLD. i agree… you daydreaming about this happening.
what?!?! pacquiao is not a knockout threat??? see the stats dude! let’s see who dnt hev a knockout punch at fight night.
manuela’s articles are so audaciously retarded, that at some point you have to believe that he’s on arum’s payroll, and the only goal is to write so much garbage abour pac that the only goal is enough pac fans to hype the fight up. other than that there is no credibility behind this retard or his intellectually-deficient mind. cotto fan’s if you believe this than you are as sorry as this POS is
Dream on Manuela, not gonna happen!
Every boxing aficianado always says Pacquiao is the fighting the bigger, stronger, better fighter etc and he still keeps winning. After winning his fights it seems like boxing writers just find excuses for Pacquiao’s opponents as to why they lost. Give him his credit for winning and not excuses for why the opponent lost. Pacman KO in 8
Cotto (W) Pac (L)
