I will quit writing if Pacquiao beats Cotto
October 5th, 2009
By Liam Santiago: I am sticking by the statement I made a couple of weeks back. If Miguel Cotto loses to Manny Pacquiao on November 14th, I will never write another boxing article. If Pacquiao can, somehow, pull off the win, it will be a very emotional day. Tears will flow. However, anyone with a decent knowledge of boxing will understand, the odds are stacked against Pac-Man.
Yes, Cotto was stopped by Margarito, and stopped badly. But lets not forget, Margarito was 6ft and had iron in his gloves (or something similar). When Margarito was caught for these ’substances’, prior to fighting Shane Mosley, he was nott he same. Mosley knocked him out. Mosley, has been beaten my Cotto. I just think that the power of Cotto might spark memories of Rustico Torrecampo and Medgeon Singsurat. Never heard of them names? They both knocked Pacquiao out in three rounds.
However, in boxing you never know. Pacquiao might pull off the biggest win of his career and my career as a boxing writer will end. Cotto has to drop two pounds from his usual weight limit so that might play a part. Maybe the Pacquiao camp are hoping to fight Cotto and beat him like they beat Oscar De La Hoya, through weight demands. However, after the bout, I will not go back on my word, if Pacquiao ”the warrior’ wins, I will never write another boxing article again.

now what Liam? Maybe now you’re feeling’ the same pains that Cotto have.
I will quit writing if Pacquiao beats Cotto…you’re the laughing stock of tbe boxing world
Shame on this writer Liam Santiago and shame on the company who pays you!!
The writer or the employee is just a reflection of the company who pays them or in their payroll…
A company that pays this kind of writer tells a lot about the integrity of it.
Santiago is the Word! most liar writer in the whole universe!
Quit now before it’s too late.
shame on you man. a man without honor. you just made fool out of yourself and you have had just proven to yourself that you are incompetent as a writer. i pity you
Your declaration was a figure of speech I can see. Never quit writing! Rasheed Wallace didn’t quit hoops after he made “the GAURANTEE”!
Don’t quit writing man , your article is fun to
read with.
I find it realy amusing that your write up
about Pacman and Cotto is completely opposite of what you had wished for.
Good luck in your future write ups.
Work hard and never mind loosing your face with more wrong and bad predictions.
THIS MAN HAS NO WORD OF HONOR. QUIT YOUR JOB PAL AND STICK TO YOUR WORD.
Quit writing Mr.Liam Santiago. Apply now for a Call Center Agent.hahahah!Shame on you.
I told you man, we do our talking after the fight, not before…
all pacman haters especially you idiot writer, dream on that there is a better boxer than pacman.. dream on. keep dreaming guys…
told ya all, we will have the last laugh…bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is what happen to people who talks to much! learn your lesson amigo santiago
it’s quitting time!
“Tears will flow…”
What a sad day for Liam Santiago…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAMBOGHAMBOGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAMBOGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHEAYOURWORDSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAYOUPACHYDERMTHICKFACEHAHAHAHAHA
Liam Santiago. Who are you to say those things?
hahaha..you should quit writing..ahahaha bastard!cotto lose and you should stick with what youve said hahaha..i dont think you can do it hahahah..lol now you are denying what you said shame on you lol…
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ok ok thats is a valid reason you were at the Mental Hospital ha? lol PacYou..
Someone or somebody used my name. I didn’t write the article above. Believe me. I wasn’t even at work or at home when the article above was posted.I was at the Mental Hospital for my weekly appointment.swear on all your mother’s grave i’m not lying..
Wow! Pacquiao is really getting better at sending people into retirement! PacYou! keep your word!!! LOL translate Putang ina mong writer ka!!
EPIC FAIL!!! Hahahaha
nanannana hay hay goood bye
LOL. ^ typical filipino thread
Face the music and own up, dude! You ask for forgiveness, telling people that you were wrong (reply 236) and then you go 180-degrees and say that somebody used your name and wrote the article, that you weren’t “even at work or at home when the article (above) was posted” (reply 245)?!? Maybe you should try boxing for a living. That way you just might be able to learn something about the sport FOR REAL instead of just being an armchair analyst. I’d listen to Chino Trinidad’s stupidly face-slapping comments more than read yours anyway.
isnt that 3 words?
1 word for this guy: RETARDED
Someone or somebody used my name. I didn’t write the article above. Believe me. I wasn’t even at work or at home when the article above was posted. I swear on all your mother’s grave i’m not lying. I will never write such a thing that will put my job on the line. I have mouths to feed (including mine) so I will continue to write boxing articles for a living whether you like it or not. I’ll even change my name/nick/handle if i have to.
Thanks to all of you. This article has reached 1 billion views.
I have little respect for as a writer, based on these articles you have written.
First you stated you would quit writindg, if Cotto does not win. Now you say “Wrong Again”, and go back on your words.
Now you say that Cotto was a shot fighter. Why did you not make that same observation before that fight? As a writer, dont have access to a network, that can give you news on the training camp of both fighters? How can you suddenly change your outlook on Cotto before and after the fight. Cotto fought a courageous fight.
You deserve all the negative comments.
HAHAHA!
this reminds me of another Santiago who had promised to shoot herself or jump from a plane (or something like that) and when asked why she didn’t do it, all she can said was “I lied”
hahaha! Mr. Santiago, why not tell the whole world the same response.. “You lied”
Liam,
Be a man. Stop writing about boxing as you promised. If not, an article of apology stating you are wrong, might do.
Making excuses will not save you from disgrace. We don’t want you to lose your job. Just be man enough to honor your word or make an apology.
No Pacman fans told you to bet your job against Pacman. It was your arrogance and contempt to Pacman that digs your own hole. We don’t want to destroy you, we only want you to give credit to where it’s due… … … Just say “Pacman is the Man” and you will earn respect and friends from the millions of Pacland army. Are man enough?
U TINK U KNOW IT EVERYTHING LIYAM? U ARE JUST A WRITER IN SHORT PANTS. I AM A BOXER IN SHORT PANTS. U WANA EAT MY SHORT PANTS?
YOU WANA SING “SOMETIME WEN WE TATS” NOW THAT I WON?
Mr Santiago, I think your predictions are taken only on zodiac signs you read on local tabloids! Better write things about writers losing their balls!!!!ha ha ha ha ha ha…. Loser sucks!
stop writting now
liam says-However, after the bout, I will not go back on my word, if Pacquiao ”the warrior’ wins, I will never write another boxing article again.
liam has no balls…
Forgive me guys… I was wrong… Give me another chance… Manny Pacquiao, forgive me plsss….
Are you a man of your word Mr Santiago? We shall see. Why hate and doubt a magnificent fighter not to mention a true sportsman???? I don’t understand it?
Ok Liam Santiago, Your time is up! Don’t write anymore boxing articles as what you said in this column. Loser!
article on ufc maybe??
Better mean what you wrote. Nomore articles on boxing from now on.
Eat ur crap Santiago and go write on the comic section from now on…hahaha ur such a dumba$$$
lesson: next time don’t bet your life for a boxing match.
What a stupid writer! Now keep your word and QUIT writing. Or maybe you should go and talk to Cotto’s trainer and demand an explanation for Cotto’s loss.
Nice article. I think you should keep on writing though… not about boxing, but something you’re knowledgeable about.
Please let us know your next career move.
Thanks.
quit! quit! qui!
rest in peace Liam Santiago
yeah stop writing it’s good for you because you ask for it. because if you do continue your conscience will hunt you back.
Wow. I just clicked on a link and got to this site. The writer is a blasted idiot for making this bet, and the writing on this supposedly legit boxing site is horrible, but you people on this forum can barely spell or form sentences. This site is a gathering of mental midgets! Back to espn.com for me!
Not much of a loss anyway your writing sucks!!! LOL
HAHA. Who’s the loser now? I hope you pack your papers and your pens and hide away from civilization forever. QUIT WRITING! You lost. Don’t make your reputation worse by eating your words. Ha! Take that!
Pack up and go home!!! ROFL
Best of luck writing about other things. It’s probably just as well because it’s clear that your instinct/judgment about this game is so off that it is definitely wise not to write about the sport anymore.
Hahaha..! Go and stop writing!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
It’ time to QUIT NOW!!!!!!!
COTTO LOST!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
don’t be chicken like my son, c’mon start to pack-up your pen…. i feel you got a lot of steroid too…
Bye. You can now quit.
have you no palabra de honor you puta
you can now quit! you are so genius in boxing…. waaaahhhh……………
It’s either stop writing about boxing or lose your credibility and eat your words!
Stupid writer… hahahaha.. hiding in shame matherpacker.
What an idiot…
well, Liam, you can always jumble the letters of your 1st name and change it so you can write again, how about reversing/mixing LIAM & it will spell “MALI” in filipino it means WRONG!!!
Same as Manuel Perez…smells the same and end up like the same. No brains! Write with all fairness! that’s a writer ethics and not bias! he he he now you don’t have a job! running out of names and no more credibility!
stop writing. this site sucks doubly hard because of you.
Hey Liam, are you quitting or are you going to change your name or find a ghost writer hahahaha
You should Thank Obama he had you in mind when he extended Unemployment benefits. You shouldn’t have Doubted PAC-MAN’s Power. Have never seen a writer so Biased. Hopefully Emmanuel Stuart will follow your lead. Good Riddance!!!
You need to man up. Let the whole world know you’re gonna quit writing for good.
Nobody will believe you anymore if you don’t.
And this will haunt you for life!!!
doubt he was paid for writing on the site, it is quickly turning to a comedy site anyway
Liam Santiago, you are an idiotic nincompoop. Are you a man with a “word of honor”? Nah! That’s what I thought.
looks like you’re unemployed now dude. Never doubt pacman again…
now quit writing madapaker..PACMAN won
In this regards with the comment of that sports
writer Liam Santiago that He or She quit writing
in the sports column if Manny Pacquio wins,Then from now on I don’t want to hear your voice again cause you are a dummy sports writer’You understand?
Happy job hunting!
The truth of the matter is that Manny makes critics mad because he never shows emotion towards the negativity. They bait him into saying something but he talks with his fists. Oh, sometimes it pains me to see all of these “Experts” telling the world that a man from the PHILIPPINES can dominate a sport, which no one saw coming…
People Hate what they can’t understand… sometimes greatness is achieved when people start to doubt you.
And to this “writer” My 10 year old nephew can write a better article than you… so if you’re going to WHINE, let me send you some cheese with it.
Want direction to unemployment office?
I hope u stay true to your word and stop writing.
you challenged yourself, mr. santiago, and you lost. stick to what you said…and no pseudonyms, you conscience as a writer will bother you the rest of you life.
AAAHHHH….HAAAA…does this mean your done for it?
don’t you cheat and try to write under a different name, you moron! magdunung-dunungan ba daw kase!
haha…this article got plastered and shared all over Facebook after Pacman the Destroyer made history over Cotto. How the hell does Liam Santiago and Manuel Perez even get considered to be boxing experts?
F A I L !!!!!
L O S E R !!!!!
OMFG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
ouch! looks like you need to find something other than boxing to write about.
Well, if this guy doesn’t quit, who else will take him at his word?
be a man of your word mr.santiago quit writng now you dont know all about boxing go home and feed the chicken
Try careerbuilder.com.
monster.com works, too.
Good luck in your new career!
P.S. Take Manuel Perez with you, too!
Time to quit!! Stick to your word. Admit that you underestimated the PACMAN, and let that be the last boxing words uttered and written.
Liam, Carlos, Dan, Macce, Genoesu…you all just put your foot in your mouth…what kind of lame excuses are you gonna write now as to why Cotto lost to Pacquiao?
Cotto knew what he was getting into…dropping weight or not…he took the risk…and now all of you can shut ur traps.
Pacman wins so you better quit your job and go sell fish
Your statement is very challenging. So this is your last write up. huh?
Go home and stay in your mother’s basement and never write again! Be a man and never write again because that’s what you promised. I feel sorry for you though.
no more articles for you, son!!
cotto-pacquiao winner and quitting are entirely different things and should not be linked together.lest, you are going to blame somebody for your unhappiness.for one,nobody knows what will be the outcome.even if your bet may prove you right,your offer to quit is not going to be taken seriously.just for that fact–nobody knows what will be the results.the fight is more interesting issue.with each boxer having strengths on their own, i would like to watch how each boxer executes their plan exploiting -at the earliest-the weakness of the opponent.i think this will define who is going to make history and pride for the country they represent
Thank god for that come on Pac-Man
i beat cotto fair n square he caught me with a lot of good shots but i took them and dished them out back to him. now mosley on the other hand beat to a pulp even though my hands were “fixed”. pacquiao might not be able to inflict the same damage as i did to cotto but i’m sure he’s going to die trying. i give pac 60/40 chance…if not a stoppage in the late rounds, a decision perhaps
Hope you will keep you words buddy… and if i were pacquioa and I’ve stumble on this article of yours I will surely contact you and have a bet with you a much bigger than your job. But anyway good article to be discuss. Your the man.
Good article! I Always see people calling these writers biased but it always seems to be the pacman lovers who think pacs untouchable. Come november il be putting a wager on Cotto to win by ko/tko…..
i hate reading articles saying that delahoya was dehydrated when he fought pacman. how do they knew that delahoya was dehydrated? tell delahoya to offer pacman a rematch at 154. well this writer liam santiago is an obvious pacman hater. why not include his house and his wife in his bet. he is not a good writer anyway so theres nothing to loose for him if pacman wins.
t’s so funny how you people think that cotto is an easy fight as well as for pacman…these two fighters can definitely beat one or the other easily if chances are given…it’s a 50/50 fight period and for those who are saying that pacman will win or cotto will win…how sure are you? If you really believe that your man will win…i dare you sell your houses, dogs,GF, BF or even cars or whatever you can sell and bet it on your GUY….please shut up..we all wishes that our will win whether it’s cotto or pacman…PEACE
be careful for what you wished for…you might get it! And let’s see if you will have a word of “HONOR”…..
Don’t worry, nobody will missed you!
in your dreams mr santiago…what about david vs goliath in the bible, who won huh?…i still have faith on my countryman win or lose…we fight altogether w/ all our hearts.
no two fight are the same on nov 14 will be cotto n pacguiao inside the ring by themself n at the end of the fight will be like a repeat of cotto n samjuda
Good for you, Liam! start looking for a new career. your writing sucks!
Liam Santiago aka Manuel Perez aka (fill in the blank)…come on man!!! Not everyone that reads your rant are idiots…they probably buying it..just read the above post…LOL…Mr. LIAM aka can change his handle name when he losses!!! (sarcastic). What about Manny Santiago…haha..certain irony to it no? lol.
I am tired of this worn out reasoning. If Cotto is not Dela Hoya and Hatton, he should beat Pacquiao. If is no better than “if it is not an apple it must be orange”.
It is unfortunate that you will put your job on the line on this kind of reasoning.
Come to think of it, it would be better for the boxing world. lol
so what you gonna do for a living, why dont you do the other way. if pacman lose you quit writing. so in that way you save you writing job…
Sometimes I win when I’m playing tennis, sometimes I don’t!! It’s the way it goes, klike a merrygoround!! Sometimes you get on but you can always get off, that’s the beauty of it!
As Godfrey Huntingford Jeevesborough commented in his writings and observations of life (1995),
“Sometimes you do and sometimes you don’t”
I have to agree with Mr Jeevesborough on that and I feel it perfectly sums up the challenges facing both fighters in this epic battle!
In conclusion I believe that it will be the outcome that is crucial and that finally proves who was right and that the winner and the loser may both keep on the course!!
if pacman wins you better hang yourself, if cotto wins were are still happy because hes a puerto rican , a mexican like you never accept defeat!!!!!
I agree with the post written by “Sandwiches”, I noticed your post on another article and had to agree with it too!! Cotto will Manny and there’s more and better to come from Hatton!!
Well done Santiago. good bye!
it looks like your boss said you will no longer be working as of nov. 14
hang up the gloves now because pacquiao will knock out cotto
Hi Liam. what will be your new alias post Nov 14?
sh..t touch pad sticking ,meant to say whoever win is fine with me as manny and cotto are great guys
I think it comes down to this,fighters with better than average foot work,can escape being knock out,
and if they can lead on points they win,manny and floyd are the two non flat foot fighter,and result shows there the best two fighter now,
but manny can set his foot with a power punch ,and that what make manny a exciting fighter,I will even go as far as say manny by knock out.
porter is a perfect sparing mate, larger that cotto
and unbeaten. but who knows…… w win is fine with me, both cotto and manny are good ho everguys.
In the name of all boxing websites, please win Paccy. Liam Santiago is a clueless balloon and needs to stop polluting the planet with his garbage.
Liam, if ever Pacman beats Cotto it will not be the end of the world. Cry if you must, Grieve if you must or go to a long vacation and learn this is just boxing.
Pacman have lost 3 times and stood back 3 times/ Those losses were all very painful and devastating but it made him better and greater. Pacman is not your enemy. He is just a boxer who prepare, focus work harder and better than the rest. If Cotto will work harder, focus better and prepare wisely than Pacman in training, He can beat Pacman in November 14.
I think Pacman is better than Cotto in Training. The actual fight will just be formality. May the best man win. Go Pacman Go!
hey all…i already watched the fight.cotto won by a 1st round tko.
you don’t know how to write anyway.morons like you have no place in this kind of job. from now
on, start looking for another job as you’d go
jobless on 11/15/09.
Well, writing is still not his bread and butter.
nO big deal
taga_tanauan, i will wager a penny. that is how much the typer of this poorly put together bunch of letters makes anyway.
oh my god, and u consider yourself a writer? get real.
okay, pacnuthuggers, what are you putting at stake if cotto wins? or r u a bunch of pu–ies? lol.
Your job is safe.Cotto in ten.Maybe nine.
Strong words Liam. I too am in doubt as to whether Pacquiao can pull off a W but you seem to still be hooked on Kleenex after your beloved Ricky had a vision of the pearly gates while sprawled on the Rockstar logo.
To Reptile:
Get your head out of you’re a**!! How do you presume to know what’s going through a fighters mind and what do you know about boxing anyway? If anyone was looking for a way out of the Clottey fight it was Joshua. Watch him get body slammed and then try to fake his way to a DQ win.
You sound like the biggest idiot here if you think this is “low risk” fight. That’s right jack a**!!
It’s not rocket science!
Don’t give us your “I willquit writing if Pacquiao beats Cotto” crap, you’re in the same league as Hatton’s! Remember him saying: I will win for sure and you can bet your houses on me, ploy! Sorry it didn’t work so be careful what you wish for!!!
To Stop the BS!!
Win or Lose, we’ll always love the living legend- manny Pacquiao!!!!!
Hey BORI:
Pacquiao doesn’t pick his opponent just like that. If you’ve been listening carefully in Pacquiao’s interviews, he lets his promoter talk and negotiate who he will fight next, understand!?And FYI, Oscar went after Pacquiao NOT the other way around!
Haha. I will stop betting on boxing if Pac-man wins. I’ll be rooting for Pacman, but I just can’t see him winning this one.
i hope u do go mate pac man to win but just like ur comments it b a lie and u wont quit i really do want u to quit tho infact u need the sack bruv!!! and liam no1 fan are you MAD!!!!
plz dont go bbe i hope pac man loses nw really hope cotto wins love you man
I want Miguel to win – and expect him to win. However, thanks to your pledge, there will now be a downside to a Cotto victory. Thanks for that.
pacman is going to win easy….
I wasn’t supporting Pac …. but I am now
Of believe me mr kupul, I DO
I wish u have word of honor…….
Too much Pacquiao BALL LICKING from what I can see from most of these comments. I don’t think Santiago has anything to worry about. He’ll be back. I’m not going to bet my job but most people here are so confident that Pacquiao will win this one are clearly drinking the kool aid. Most of you will be no where to be found once Cotto defeats Manny. I’m sure most of you will then go to “there were too many distractions in the Philippines, etc…” EXCUSE! Bob Arum is already hinting about the possibility of a rematch and he’s not doing it because he thinks Manny will win. He’s setting the stage. Open your eyes!
get over it liam, hatton is a great guy but is way overrated …. no version of hatton could have beat pac that night.Cotto was not “stopped badly”… he quit , if that is what you call stopped badly what was hatton’s loss to pac
I didnt reaaly mind who won at first , both are great fighters , but now i hope the little guy wins so you stop writing s**t articles.Cant you take a hint? when you get 100 replies to your articles and 95% are negative do you think we are the ones who are wrong? you should quit writing regardless of who wins
I apologize to everyone for my childish article, I have changed my mind and im 110% sure that cotto will be knocked down and pacman will be victorious
hey you bum writer!
almost all of you here are s****.. making some biased comments on manny… we want a neutral comment, not a biased on you du**f**!
be a professional one! writing like this makes you more a bum.. yeah! just stop writing! we don’t need you here… and smoking like this… haha!
i already challenged your homo colleague writer manuel perez to stop and never ever write again if pac beats cotto… and maybe you can join him… that is much better….
and don’t ever make some excuses if pac wins! or i will blast, we will blast you and your mo*** collegues…
no…………………..
First you say that Cotto will not be weight drained and then you say that the 2 pounds might play a factor? So will the weight play into the fight or not?
I cannot believe the rubbish I’m reading about this fight.
Whenever a fighter suffers a beating like Cotto did against Margarito (loaded gloves or not) he is NEVER the same again. When the heat is on they fold. This is a fact.
Cotto looked like he wanted to quit after the 9th against Clottey, and the truth is had the Ghanian upped the intensity a tad in the final rounds, Cotto would have suffered his second stoppage defeat in three fights.
Arum, Roach and Pacman know this which is why they’re happy to take this low risk fight in advance of a potential money spinner against Mayweather.
I shouldn’t have to tell you this. Its not rocket science folks!
Yours in sport, Reptile.
tHAT LAST COMMENT WAS NOT ME
im sorry everyone. i’m taking back my words now. after thorough understanding i decided ill bet on pacquiao now. please allow me to write again good for pacquiao. actually im just envious of his popularity. im sorry people, from now on im your big PacMan fan.
liam, pls dont. i will miss alot then. huhuhu
NO ONE CAN BEAT IN THIS WORLD TODAY “PACMAN THE UNBEATABLE” GO…..GO…GO.. GO LONG LIVE PACMANIA
PACMAN WILL WIN 100%,no doubt about pacman power
Now, I ask fellow writers Gilfoird and Perez to make the same ledge (on Dirrell and Cotto).
This is how it works, if Pac wins, I write one last article on how great he is, AND I WILL MEAN IT! I dont think he can win and am willing to risk my job and the security of my family to prove it. I have £1 million on Cotto.
If the bout is stopped on cuts it doesnt count
This site is a great way to release the tension after a hard days graft!
09’s fight of the year! Manny PAC WILL stop Cotto on cut’s inside of 8 round’s I can’t to see it
Brave statement. Apart from claiming to have a “career as a boxing writer” Do you get paid for these articles? NO! so doesn’t really qualify as a career. Hopefully other pointless authors to this site will take heed and do the same, such as Perez and Gilfoid, whos lives seem to be devoted to producing garbage to post on this site whilst playing at being journalists. It truly is laughable and i do wish i didnt have a proper job to allow me time to come up with a few fairy tales to post in response! Anyway, hopefully it will be good riddance to another waste of blood and organs.
DMV – and if Cotto doesn’t KO the “Chino Peppino” back to “rice land”, will you stop stealing our healthcare and ride your donkey back to where you came from?
RayP – I agree about writers on here who do it for the love of the sport, but there IS a difference between writing for the love of the sport and writing to completely disrespect, discredit, and biasedly bash certain fighters. Manuela Perez is one and so is Liam Santiago. These guys have absolutely no credibility and they really take away from the credibility of the site. There are numerous “professional” writers out there who obviously don’t like certain fighters, but they give logical and credible reasons for their thoughts. Liam and Manuela however, do it to out of hatred.
Well my friend then my advise is that you start since now searching to see which is gonna be your future hobby because on Nov. 14th writing day however I will give you until Nov. 15th to at least give you the chance to provide your excuse as for why you pupil lost.
I read the headline of this article and crossed my fingers that the author was a certain Manuel Perez… imagine my disappointment
Jane – Hatton should have a rematch with Manny? LOL! When they DID fight, Pac was on a completely different level than Hatton…You may say anyone can get caught and knocked out cold with one punch, but guess what…Hatton was caught with about 25 punches. Pac was catching him with hooks all night. Watch it again.
lot of gutz…wish manuel perez is the writer of this article….plz tell manuel to do the same….lol
Bookmarked. I hope you’re man enough to live up to your word.
Get ready to eat crow on November 14.
liam knows he ain’t gonna have to quit. Only one outcome in this contest.
Cotto is way too cute and clever for pac, combining this with his weight advantage there can be only one outcome.i even think miguel will bully pac (not often you see that if anytime)
sorry pachuggers i think manny is a fantastic boxer but he has gone way above his limits this time
Genousu! hei…yeah Cotto will win come Nov 12!!!
Jane Ignacia, are you insane??
“Cotto beats Pac and finally manny is shown to be ridiculously overrated!!”
Cotto is naturally the bigger man dude..?!? if he beats Pacman, which he should, as he is the bigger guy, think a about it!?!? Hello… Pacman should be given praise and as Oscar said after getting owned by pacman “he should get all the praises and accolades”
Jane my man, I know that you may not be a pacman fan, but to say he is over-rated dude, c’on..
Regards
Slapfest
hey mr. writer. i think you better chech on the way you make articles. it simply shows how amatuer you are in your imaginations. try to consider the thought of other writers here. they have their favorites but they maintain their proffessionalism.
Cotto beats Pac and finally manny is shown to be ridiculously overrated!!
Hatton, if he comes back, should have a rematch with Manny in March, after manny lost to cotto. Hatton would win and cotto fights mayweather although mayweather wins a UD!
Looks like no more anti-khan and ricky hatton biased articles after november 14 because Liam will quit! There is no way pacquiao will lose, mark my words.
stop making alibis for the loosers,instead lets appreciate and give credit to the winner,its not the winners fault if the looser is weightdrain,slow,etc.etc.etc,these are only alibis of those who cant accept defeats,
LOL – That’s the way to do it Liam..!!!
You’ve mugged yourself off there Liam. This site is full of idiots just like you, least in November you’ll realise you don’t know s**t about boxing and we’ll have one less stupid post to scroll past. After Pacquiao beats Cotto, I wanna a slug fest against timothy bradley then knock mayweather out in his final fight in the ring. If pacquiao wins his last 3 fights I don’t see how you could call him anything less than the greatest boxer of all time!
JUST WAIT MANNY TO PROVE TO YOU AND MR PEREZ THAT YOUR WRONG.
Liam be sure to stick on what you have said..I pray that Pacman win on nov.14 so that both of idiot writers will stop writing boxing article
we’ll hold you too it
be sure to stop writing mr LIAM otherwise tell your fav COTTO to retire as well… you talk too much, well its better to retire BOTH OF YOU… SUCKER!!!
Liam,
Don’t stop writing, get Manuel Perez to stop writing. Manny will win, no doubt about it.
Liam you should start packing your things and find a new job now. You and Perez both sucks in predictions. Let see what’s goin to happen and let the fists do the talk.
Liam I think you will still be writing after November 14th but I don’t think you need to stake your writing on a fight. Anyhow, I cannot understand why so many out there disrespect the writers on this web site, who do not get paid and do it for the love of the sport, when they do not agree with the article written. I have noticed a steady increase in the amount of posts lately, particularly with anything having to do with Pac and Cotto. I wonder which group will disappear from these sites after November 14th, never to be heard from again?
I think it will be a ko,i just can’t see manny beating cotto ive tried and tried to way it all up but i cant see any other winner than miguel cotto.
I know i should never doubt the pacman and i do think he will give cotto problems, but cotto’s great defence and power should and will win him the fight.
If manny pacquiao does go onto to beat cotto if it does happen i will hold the pacman with the highest regards and there will be no reason why we can’t use manny in the same breath as leonard,robinson or ali.
One thing for sure im very excited about this fight
instead of quitting to write articles,, just make a video with yourself to youtube apologizing to boxing fans in general and make praise to pacman soon after he defeats cotto,, and make sure its well rehearse you gonna need it!!!
manny pacquiao will knock out cotto in 7 rounds
Never write again? no more personal bias…… brilliant.
Liam, it’s this sort of personal biased article that dulls the standard. Try to think of it objectively and figure how both boxers may give each other trouble, and then how you think they’ll overcome it, or how they wont.
I have to admit though, look how many comments this has created: The editors must encourage this sort of thing.
i agree.. definitely start looking for a new job or at least write an unbiased article against pac. If you research how many pro boxers predict pac vs cotto. almost 99% of them go for pac. I’m pretty sure they know what they’re talking about.
Mr. Santiago, I’m with you on this, I like “Pacman” but he is way over his head in this one, he is so caught up with his wins against the over the hill Oscar and the over-hyped Hatton, this time he will be in for a beating against a bigger, prime fighter hungry for respect……..I know you will be writing many more articles because Cotto will never lose in this one………I’m telling you “Cotto will wipe the deck with the Pacman on November 14,2009 literally”……..
hey liam,I think you should right now start looking for a new job..pacman will surely win by KO!
This is why betting is not healthy.
You have a chance to back out and do what is right.
all of you. put all of your savings on cotto. i dare you. liam, you’ve may have lost all yours on hatton or de la hoya already. thats why you’re angy. loser. you realy think this guy could afford some magical untraceable steroids. this guy was a champ when he only had enough money for food once every three days. you idiot. you realy think they have advanced technology in the phillipines we couldn’t touch. dumb!
You only have until nov.14 to write article about boxing. after that its all over for you..
Cotto KO in 3rd rd.
I hope you’ll still write about boxing after Pacman wins. A lot of us will surely miss making fun of you. Haha.
We will see. REMEMBER NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE…. PacMan CAN and will EAT COTTO…
Bulls??? !!!!! You’ll just change your pen name. How about put your finger in your a?? then smell it… at least you know what to expect …
Liam…a good writer is unbiased…reporting facts or opinions based on facts….You & Mr Perez are biased & one-sided…this makes you both discriminators….Both Manny & Miguel are true champions because they earned it with blood & sweat….based on facts, Manny has Speed & Miguel has Power which makes for a good fight…Speed is the key to winning and Manny has it in both hands & both hands have KO power…Miguel has power but too slow in both hand & feet….Manny wins by 9th round TKO……..aloha
jhon foreman, you don’t write like a filipino man. Try again next time.
If Cotto loses all he has to do is change his name and he’s in business again. What a joker.
Same old stuff, you and Perez really are one and the same. Good riddance, this site needs refreshing not the same old crap turned out every week. I want to see more articles by that Richard Evernett – perhaps you could learn a thing or two Liam! LOL
thank god it almost makes me want pacquiao to win. But I think my boy cotto will pull it out again.
i was looking at the author of this article and I was wishing it was manuel perez that said “I will quit writing if pacquiao beats cotto”! damn!
I gonna marked your word Mr. Liam Santiago and Manuel Perez..If Pacman Win that fight, I,ll check the Boxing24.com often to see to it that you’re doing your promise..Be a man for your word..If head growing is a sign of esteriod, you must also be using esteriods too coz your head i guess i growing bigger than norman..You may have hydro cephalous..and another desease will sure come if pacman wins..insomnia, ulcer,and retardation which may lead to your sudden death with Mr. Perez..
May Satan Accept Your crazy Soul..
Nonsense Mr Santiago!!!You better find a good job that is suited to you cause writing is not your cup of tea…LOL
Start sending out resume or more than likely think of another pseudonym you can use because you will probably just disguise you real name again … Cheers
PS
Maybe use Manuela Marquez Perez or something similar!
i dont think it would be a suprise if coto or the pack man one but i should be a cracker
The writer shows that two no-name fighters knocked out Pacman. This has not happened to Cotto. I say the writer is correct and that Cotto will take the point off of Pacs head.
Cotto by knockout
start looing for a new job now mr pride santiago, lets see where this pride of yours will take you???LOL
All of the prediction about De Lahoya and Hatton that this two will knock Pacman out turn to be in accurate.This time the prediction is Pacman will knock Cotto-out. Most pilipino could not accept the fact that cotto became an Olympian,and depeated Sab Judah, Mosley, Maliggini,and give a good fight with margarito with loaded globe. Is the same thing that the history of the philippines is mis-leading. Suggestion: read John Forman, Dr. Morga and Dean Worchester to enlighten most of the philipino, so u will stop on believing thing that u dont see.
who cares if you quit writing
Liam is daring to swear of quitting as a writer if Pac will luckily win.
It is really intriguing how Pac fans cannot see the reality – their hero has NOTHING to match Cotto except the perceived speed.
Start looking for a new subject to write about.
Cotto is a great fighter, but Manny is the best in the world not named Mayweather. Pac Man’s speed and power will be too much for Cotto, whose propensity for leading with his face has gotten him in trouble more than once in his career.
Pacquiao by KO, 6th round.
this is funny.. the guy want’s to quit writing
can you attach your photo on your last article before pacquiao-cotto fight and put a caption “this face will never write again if pacquiao beats cotto”
almost everyone has underestimates Cotto’s handspeed and will. I think that’s will be a mismatch win for Miguel. Pacquiao is a great fighter, but he comitted a big mistake by signing this fight
jhon foreman,all of youre comments are reasons of a looser,just to justify their defeat.
Cotto KO round 8, Left hook to the body and the fat lady has sung.
Cotto loose to margarito due to a punch. A punch? his gloobe is loaded. Do you know what will happened if you are hit with a loaded globe it will drain your stregth and slow u down. Thats what happened to Cotto. But he did not Loose to a fair bout. This people who predict cotto is slow and could not take a punch, i suggest u watch cotto fight in u tube, and predict after u watch it, dont say u believe, watch and see.In spanish cabessa de cocote.
i have a suggestion watch pacquiao vs agapito sanchez. pacquiao as a cut due to an intetional head butt, and heat in the balls un intentional also, but if the fight just continue what i see pacquiao is reall badly beaten by agapito canchez and he will really loose the fight.
youd rather bet all your possesions for Cotto.If he wins then you dont have to write for a living.
When pacquio win to De La Hoya, De La Hoya loose 18 Pounds in as hort period of time, and his sparing partner almost knock him out.I have a couple of cousin who is a Medical Doctor according to them if u loose to much weight, you will also loose ur stamina almost the same thing to a person who just came out of Heavy flue. Thats what pacquio beat.
i cant comment on scott gilfoids articles anymore cos the big baby doesn’t like an intelligent person taking his dumb articles to pieces, oh well i guess ill just have to use my mates computer once dirrell and ward get a good beating. but anyway if your reading scotty, please make the same promise as liam here then maybe we will get rid of two stupidly biased and non factual writers off this site, same goes for manuel perez as well if he reads this
i am not a mexican, i am a pilipino. I watch marquez vs pacquio fight I & II, what i see is diff. from believing, believing on something is the same as theory. But what i see is marquez really out box pacquio. In their first fight pacquio knock marquez 3 times in the first round and still marquez out box him to a decision of draw. In the second fight pacquio knock marquez only once but marquez out box him to almost knock pacquio a couple of times to a decision of manny pacquio win, do u think something wrong with that. Hatton loose to pacquio becouse hatton is out of control and dicipline, I think hatton to comfident that he is big that he could take a punch in a chin and with hes high ego that his down fall. I still believe HATTON can knock out pacquio.
Liam, SHOW your picture in this article heading and I will believe every word you’ve said. For now, I could tell you are lying and trying to fool everyone.
It wont matter if you quit because you have another account. Dont play dumb but you are the same person as Manuel Perez. Pacquiao should file libel suit against you for making such accusations.
hey In the Philippines there is an imbecile senator, her name Senator santiago who like you swears, she promised that she will jump out of the helicopter if ex president estrada was impeached, she end up not upholding her words, So Liam your last name is santiago as well, so I wont be surprised if you dont hold up to your promise.
u sed this already liam, y r u tellin us again
You should stick to your word that you will quit writing, or probably you will end up having a thick skin making a lot of excuses not to quit if pacquiao loses, worst you will just say “hey guys its just a joke”. Anyway all statistics and law of physics are stacked up against your absurd belief that Cotto is a sure win. why dont you use some steroid so your head will grow as well, and hopefully a pea size brain would fit in to your clown head.
when pacquiao’s legend will be told years from now, this writer’s comment will not even be mentioned.
Who cares if you dont write anymore yopur one sorry mexican looser who hates pacman bcoz he executed all ur boxers. You and manuela should never been a boxing writer anyway coz ur just bitter sorry mexican looser.
oh please scott gilfoid make this same promise
You already lost when cotto sign the contract. Your article is nonsense because they are not based on real evidence. How can you be so sure if margaritto use the plastic thing if they didn’t even prove it. How can you be so sure if de la hoya was dehydrated when he said it himself that he is in the best shape of his life. How can you be so sure if hatton was mistrained when mayweather sr said that it was hattons fault. This is just your opinion and its nonsense. Heck I can write something stupid like this and feel dumb later.
He’ll just use an alias. its obvious…
Liam you and Manuel perez are one and the same sh1t! You stop writing he continues to write crap…you b1tches have nothing to write other that pacquiao sh1t…learn something new, pacmans about to retire…
So what Liam if you quit, who cares. Your write up is garbage amyway!!! Go home and make boritos!
If Pacquiao wins, you will just change your name
and keep on writing…who are you trying to fool.
Blah..blah…blah…blahhhahahahhahaha!
bradley, campbell and cotto whoever it is, don’t matter they will all falllll down timberrrrrr!!!
Mayweather, Mosley, Cotto, Marquez and most of the fighters have one thing in common – thay all fight to win.
However, what sets PacMan apart from the rest is that he fights to ENTERTAIN us! He would give his very best so that his fights would be very exciting for us!
If you notice all PacMan’s pre-fight interviews, he would always say “I’ll give you a good fight!” or somethng like that…
How can you not like someone like that?!
Question. Have you or havent you got any excitement from watching any of his fights?
C’mon Liam, you can do better than this! Why put your job on the line?! Why do you hate PacMan so much? Why? Why? Why?
you should hedge your pledge by betting the pacman big, that way you’ll never have to write about boxing because you dont have to.
make sure don’t write in a different name!!
amen bori amen
apart from the bit bout rickys chin being made of glas…
peace out
Honestly people.Manny didn’t fight anybody good since he was in 130 . He won a title in 135. He beat David Diaz. Wow ! Why he didn’t pick Nate Cambell or Juan Diaz? After that he pick Oscar in 147 . Why he didn’t pick Margarito? Margarito was at that moment the # 1 welter after beat Cotto. But no he pick the old and dehydrate Oscar . And finally he pick Hatton . Mr Crystal chin.Plus his lack of defense. Why he didn’t fight Timothy Bradly? Now he want Cotto in a catch weight on145. Why in 145 and not in 147 ? He already fight Oscar in 147. Don’t matter . Cotto is going to destroy him.
dont worry liam it will be the sam as mayweather marquez….and if not…somthing is going awray!!! or dodgy…this is exactly the same fighjt as mayweather vs marquez….so i dont seee what everyoen is thinking that pacqiou may win…its rediclous…the only difference from cotto and maywetehr is mayweathers amazing reflexes and the fact you cannot hit him…..cotto will get hit more but also has more power than mayweather……so dont worry mate its that much of a dead cert im niot paying for it……gonan watch cotto knock him out on youtube the next day……
peace out.
if only scott gilfoid would make the same promise over froch v dirrell and kessler v ward
You just showed exactly what your readers have been saying all along – you can’t write objectively beacuse you are taking PACQUIAO on a personal level. At the end of the day, he is just another boxer – win or loose … life goes on.
Why hate PacMan, he loves Mexicans. On his birthday, he always invites his former Mexican foes.
Peace and Love for all.
Man what a total spaz! You ain’t going to quit writing! If Pacquiao beats Cotto The first thing your going to do is write how Cotto over trained or how he was damaged goods from Margarito’s plastered hands or some other reason why Pacquiao was better than Cotto. What a bunch of BS!
i think you understand how strange boxing is for u to put ur job on the line like this.
Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. It’s going to be a good fight and it will be fun to watch . Let’s just enjoy it. Both fighters will make millions of dollars and let’s hope it lives up to expectation and maybe a pac cotto rematch.
yay! let’s go pac!
Hey Liam Santiago, you’re such a dumbarss, you and your buddy Manuel Perez!!!
WELL THEN, BE READY TO GET YOUR UNEMPLOYEMNT CHECKS……LOL
start packing up your writing stuff cause you wont need it ever!
Greate news!! we will missed you Santiago..
I dont understand people like uou liam, YOu criticize boxers for fighting the second tier of boxers and rather than respect pacman for tryna fight sumone much bigger than him You try to chat crap again.
Can you say Jobless? The straight left of Pacman will land all night long just like it did with Oscar. Styles make fights people, and speed kill, power doesnt mean a thing if you cant land. Pacman by KO within the first 7 rounds.
Tears will flow? Hmmm….BLOOD, lots of BLOOD will flow. Bring it on. I am very sure Manny Pacquiao will bring IT, make sure Miguel Cotto is ready.
You know what’s good about this page. Writer are biased toward some boxer, but they are honest about it. You go to other pages and they try to hide how Much the love Mayweather, Or Pacquiao or any other fighter. But they keep trying to sell you their fighter. Here is simple, no BS. They’ll root for whoever the want. Besides I need something to read at my job… LOL
You don’t have to stop writing articles about boxing. You can just be a BELIEVER if ever pac will win the fight.
It’s SAD after you said you’ll stop writing, you quickly gave your alibi about the steroid thing that doesn’t have a single proof. You’re not even there yet but you’re already giving an alibi.
If MLB players (like AROD) are caught using steroid, why can’t they use pac’s steroid which is untraceable. They can’t because he’s not using any. It’s like accusing Jeter of using steroid but is not caught yet because it can’t be traced. But he’s good so he must be using something. If that’s you’re reasoning then yeah it’s best to stop writing.
I wish Perez would say that.
In that case – come on PacMan! Fantastic news!
I think you should quit writing anyway. And maybe concentrate more on sucking Ricky Hatton’s arse. I think you’re much at doing that.
I don’t understand how you can take a fight so personally, you are not the 1 fighting. You obviously show your distaste for pacman in a great way with the other writers on this website. You’d better start looking for a new profession or go back to school. I hope the best man wins and come Nov 14th that’ll be the PACMAN.
Ooh, gutsy move Santiago. Question is, will you keep your word? Better yet, will you have to? Promises to be a good fight.
“I will never put my job on the line for a fight. Liam you got some big cojones” – job on the line? They don’t even get paid to write these articles.
Liam keep writing because your the only writer on here except for Will Cruz that writes with knowledge of the sport.I totaliy agree with you.I like Pacman but i think he is over his head in this one.Cotto is a great champ and will prove all doubters wrong on his night com Nov.12.Cotto by k.o.in7!
Manny will win…then we can finally be shot of you! such a poor writter i mean this isnt even news man. Shaun Campbell writes on the same topics as you, but his arent bias. Perez is even better than you son
Im from San Lorenzo right next to Caguas PR I’m telling you now he’s never been so focus for a fight. It’s not about belts money fame is all about pride
I’m a boxing fan and I think Cotto will destroy Pacman. However, I will never put my job on the line for a fight. Liam you got some big cojones… LOL Good luck with your prediction…
If only gilfoid would make the same pledge over the Froch – Dirrel fight. Without you 2 this website might be considered respectable.
torrecampo done him with a left hand body shot just theway i think cotto will do it pac is in 4 big shock
believe me
