Not grateful for Cotto-Pacquiao
By Manuel Perez: Although this is a decent fight, I’m not grateful for next month’s November 14th bout between Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. It’s being portrayed as being the best against the best, but I don’t see Cotto as being the best fighter in the welterweight division, so I’m not all impressed as I would be if Pacquiao was fighting Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather or Paul Williams.
I don’t care if Cotto agreed to it; I still think it’s wrong by putting a handicap in for Pacquiao. I know Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, says that Cotto will be a lot heavier on the night of the fight, but Cotto will also be a lot weaker because of having to come in lighter a day earlier to make the catch weight of 145 pounds at the weigh in.
Pacquiao has beaten a shot Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in his last two fights. Those fights have raised Pacquiao’s stock to the point where even some so-called boxing experts think that Pacquiao will beat every welterweight in the division, including Floyd Mayweather Jr. I’m not grateful for people who overestimate others based on performances against lesser fighters. That saddens me.
If Cotto had just recently wiped the deck with David Diaz, Hatton and De La Hoya, would I get excited about him and start calling him the greatest pound for pound fighter on the planet? No, I wouldn’t, and I would laugh at any boxing expert that said Cotto was the best based on wins over those aforementioned fighters. Now, if Cotto turned around and actually beat Antonio Margarito in a rematch, and then followed it up with wins over Mosley and Paul Williams, then I would say that Cotto is the best fighter around. But he’ll probably never fight Margarito and Mosley again, and if he did chances are he’d lose.
Williams, I think, would beat Cotto. I see Williams as welterweight and a light middleweight, just so you know. He had to move up in weight temporarily because none of the top welterweights wanted to fight him.
Okay, so I’m not grateful for the Cotto-Pacquiao fight because I see Pacquiao fighting a good welterweight but not the best in the division. Don’t care that Cotto once beat Mosley a couple of years ago in 2007. I don’t think he would do it now, and based on Mosley’s win over Cotto conqueror Margarito, I see Mosley as the best fighter in the welterweight division. That’s who Pacquiao and his team should have selected instead of Cotto. They didn’t and I’m left to wonder why.
I see Cotto as the 4th best welterweight in the division after #1 Mosley, #2 Mayweather, and #3 Margarito. Okay, so the Cotto vs. Pacquiao fight is nothing special to me, although I see it as a vaguely interesting bout. If Pacquiao wins, he’ll prove to me that he can beat a top #4 welterweight in the division, albeit with a handicap for weight.

hey manuela are you really a hispanic? so thats why you hate pacquiao because he is a pilipino. Racist!
hey anonymus you really dont know boxing do you cotto can handle speed and power against judah, he handle a southpaw with speed and a natural welter, with mosley the same and he was winning the now questional fight against margarito. pac man has fought who a depeleted de la hoya, a one demensional hatton, is questional win against marquez in his second fight, you really need to do your history because you have no clue of what boxing is.
your right fiasco he is taking this fight to lightly he probably will ne ko by the ninth or tenth round.
Cotto will destroy Manny.Pacquiao’s training camp has been a party.Between not listening to Roach and trying to help further his political career as well as his record deal….He is ready to be KO’d.
This writter doesn’t know anything about boxing! How can pacman not been cotto, cotto is slower than pacman, and who cares if pacman is losing his sparring, i myself as a boxer would know that sparring is actually harder than the actual fight.
how can shane be #1 you know that mayweather would beat shane at anytime!
Sugar Shane you need to call him, maybe now that he claims that he feels revived and boxing is back in his blood he shouldn’t run away from fighting some that can match speed, power and weight with him. Mayweather looked impressive against Marquez but he was not fighting someone that naturally is a welterweight. Get him Shane.
Killer you gotta respects Manny’s speed as well as power, but just like mayweather marquez fight a great bigger fighter will beat a great small fighter. I favor cotto but he must come prepare because this guy is no walk in the park for him but i still feel that cotto has the edge.
Freddie Roach will be rushing Pac-Man to the E.R after Cotto gets through with him on Nov 14th!
Sure and instant knock-out for an instant Shocking reaction to all Cotto’s fans-club ,just open your eyes with a great smile perhars . .
i agree with you on most points acept the fact that cotto cant beat mosely again and in my opinion the reason mosley was able to ko margarito is becouse cotto lossended him up first lets be honnest margarito won by tko but in the process he also took a lot of punnishment.as for pacman the points you make have some merrit but pac is considered p4p becouse his overall carreir not just his last three fights lets be honnest pacmans best wieght right now is probaly at 135 but he and rouch wont make the big money fighting lesser name fighters at 135 or 140 than having catch weight fights with bigger names at welter at this point pacman is looking to cash in on his name and that road has led him to cotto kind like marquez against mayweather a no lose sitution win and you get the money and the acolades lose and you get the money and you can honestly say you lost becouse he was to big. p.s. pacman fans just becouse a writer critises pacman it doesnt mean he hates pacman or philipinos or anything like that dont take it personally or think hispanics hate pacman or critise him becouse he is not hispanic infact of the asian nations philipinos are the most hispanic like people and we have alot in common but boxing fans in general are jealos for the sport and we demand alot of fighters especally if they want to be treated as the best or say they are best, example in mexico if you want be revered you have to uphold a high standerd just being champion is not enough in contrast a nation that has not had a world champion is just happy to have one.
Now all of a sudden Miguel Cotto is rated #4 welterweight behind Mosley, Mayweather & Margarito? How is that…Fictious facts…so this justifies Manny being the favored? Don’t get it…Manny is coming up in weight & he’s the challenger for the welterweight title which sets the stage for another excuse that Manny’s win was part of the “Plan” a set-up.
can;t believe it the guy is already making an excuse…hahaha! love yah manuel
i think i know whats on manuel’s mind…he’s having a feeling that manny will win…analyze his article,you just can sense it….nice one manuel! nice article… two thumbs up
Manuel Perez… Where in the hell you got the record that Marquez won the fight against Pacquiao? Your’re making your twisted history book now? What’s the truth? The truth is Pacquiao beat Marquez, Diaz, De la Hoya, Hatton… you need more? That’s the real truth not like what’s in your mind (a dumb one) the twisted truth. Maybe you need to read the history or look for real records of Pacquiao & Marquez and you’ll find the real truth. ooppps. The truth really, really hurts. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa OUCH. Sorry!
Mr PEREZ, You are so scared young stupid fools from what you are saying…The fight has’nt started yet you have your forcast already…What a BAD WRITER are you…Cotto will knock you out for saying wrong things about him.
You will all be surprised how fast Manny’s punches will be. Cotto will not see them coming and his face will be the first target. This will be a great fight and I see Manny winning by TKO. Cotto and all will be surprised with Manny’s punches. He has the most powerful P4P punch at present.
Make up your mind. One day you say Cotto will destroy Pacman.. another day you say Pacman is cherry picking. How can Manny cherry pick a great welterweight like Cotto then?
Cotto is an excellent fighter who has gone against the toughest guys out there. I have a hard time believing that Manny is going to dust him off. This is a very Dangerous fight for Pacman, he gets credit for taking it… But by no means is this a forgone conclusion… If it goes past 7 I see Cotto breaking him down, he is too heavy handed and Marquez had Manny buzzed round 8, in the second fight.
perez is already positioning himself for an excuse, its as simple as that. he knows he is going to loose, so the earlier he makes excuses the better for him to say “i told you so”. that is why this boxing website is crap for continuing to employ an incompetent neanderthal of a writer. same goes with liam santiago….. oooopppps that’s me.
Perez is now saying, “Cotto will PROBABLY beat Pacquiao”. I detect a little doubt, now that the fight is getting closer. It’s a big change from when he was writing, and I quote ” I am so sure Cotto will beat pacquiao, that if he loses, I (Perez) will never write another article again. Cotto is the best welterweight with the biggest punch”.
It looks like Perez has woken up some. You should too! I love Cotto, but be honest. We now have a PHENOM for our generation of boxing.
Love your column. Reading it is like watching Three Stooges. It’s so stupid, it’s funny
Manuel .. truth hurts. How many times you got hurt? Pacman vs Marquez (twice), vs Diaz, vs De la Hoya, vs Hatton. What else? You need more? bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Manuel Perez you keep on saying all over again in your article that no way Pacquiao could since Morales vs Pacquiao fight. You’re proven wrong. The only way you could right when Pacquiao fight Areola (Mexican cry baby) at heavyweight. lol
YOUR NOT GRATEFUL CAUSE YOUR AN ATTENTION WHORING PIECE OF SH#T FOCKIN CLOWN, PEREZ HILTON…LOL
all the rumors that pacquiao being K.O. in training camp are just B.S. it is just a scheme to undermine the P4P king. He will demolish Cotto, and demolish Mayweather too.
Cotto is a great fighter his lost to Margarito is questionable but this is and will be a great fight. Manny has had difficulty in the past (i.e Marquez) and Cotto is a bigger, stronger version of Marquez.
lighten up dont be a sore loser manny beat all the mexican fighters and he will knock the crap out of an overrated marquez…im hispanic myself and cant understand if your crying or jelous of the pound for pound king MANNY “MEXICAN KILLER” pacquiao… pacquiao will win and then beat the crap out of mayweather all though i hope h retires and lets mosely beat the crap out of mayweather
i hope cotto destroy pacman. cotto will shut him up. and all those stupid filipino pacmans fans.
Why do i read Manuel Perez?
After a hard day at the office, I like to laugh at ludicrous stories told by a writer wannabe with an IQ of 80.
If I cannot complain at work, I like to heap insults to a moron in this website who deserve them.
If I cannot hit back at my boss, I like to imagine Manuel Perez’ ugly face and spit on it.
No offense but “Not Grateful…has to be one of the damn “dumbest” commentaries on the fight game I’ve ever seen. Manuel Perez actually said he would be more impressed if Pacquiao fought Mayweather (who chose to fight Marquez rather than wait a day and schedule a fight with Pacquiao), Shane (who lost to Cotto), or PAUL WILLIAMS!! I could hardly keep my fingers on the keyboard because I was laughing so hard writing this. Manuel…Williams is 6 Ft 3.5 inches tall. Pacquiao…well…isn’t. He’s closer to 5 ft 3. Perez says he’s not impressed unless the Former WBC Fly Wt champ takes on a guy who could (and will) fight Light Heavy in the near future. LOL. Bugs Bunny would say “what a maroon”.
Floyd Mayweather Jr- I totally agreed with you Marquez won not once buy twice in my opinion hence the rightful rematch
Ma Ma a Ma Man.. I .. I .. I stopped r reading this article a a affterr the first twooo paragraphs. wa wa why? Cuase you you you said in your last article how goo goo good cotto was and now ur backtracking. It diss diss guuuust me.
WTF man. Cotto wins.. and if he dont. Mosley isnt better and F*ck Margacheato. Williams has no power.. u suck.
Is this writer really serious??? You can bash Pacquaio, but haven’t mentioned a bit on Mayweather. Mayweather could have taken a fight vs. Pacquiao, but chose to pick on a little guy and didn’t even try to make the agreed upon weight. You are only right on one point, actually two, Cotto is not the best welterweight out there and this fight should have been made at 147.
to be real I thought that cotto lost to clottey and find interesting that paq man took this fight after seeing that performance live. But with that said I want to see this fight not as much as want to see the mayweather/marquez fight but I think it will be a more interesting fight to see play out. Manny pulled some unexcepted victories over both De la Hoya and Hatton but both were faded(one due to weight problems and age, the other mentally). Cotto should win but donlt be surprised if it happen again. I hope that manny loses and give marquez another shot he rightfully deserves one
Hawaiian man…pacman champ of Puerto Rico??? ur FU&*IN DUMB! aint no way pacman could stand up to any of Puerto Rican Fighters like Trinidad, Wilfredo Gomez, or Benito. especially COTTO
Pacman fans, you are seriously the easiest to wind up out of all boxing fans out there. The only reason Perez keeps writing all these articles against Pacman is because he knows all of you will take the bait.
The more hits he gets, the higher his pay goes.
Seriously Pacman fans, eat some cement and harden the f**k up!
after nov 14, perez will be collecting unemployment checks!
stop writing this bull—t mr.perez. you’re not making any sense
I wonder what Manuel Perez’s writing career will be like, once pacquiao retires. ha-ha-ha
Hahahahahaha….this article is so hilarious!!
Keep it coming Manuel!!
Tommy you’re talkin Middleweights…but on the other hand, at the rate this guy’s going it just might be possible…..
Didn’t Manuela Perez just predict that Cotto was going to destroy Pacquiao, and now he’s accusing Pacquaio of cherry picking? He just lining up his excuses as he outlined in the last paragraph if Pac beats Cotto…According to him, Pac would beat a top 4 welterweight…which is something that Mayweather hasn’t done in about 6 years.
Hawaiian man.p4p of all time? Cmon man! so if you had a tourney with both Sugar Rays,the hit man,Roberto Duran,and pretty boy you think Manny would dominate? I think it’s cool that you support your fighter,but Cmon man!
mosely bring the best welterweight in the division is just about the only thing I have ever agreed with you on. With maybe the exception of mayweather but mosley can finish you which makes him more dangerous, hence the reason why floyd won’t fight him.
As for cotto pacman, the reason why this is the most highly anticipated fight of the year is because there are two top fighters with big names and either man has a good chance of victory. Yes cotto is the bigger man and more powerful but he hasn’t looked good is his last few fights and pacman has the speed and movement, the fact is pacman gets caught and it could be game over and don’t forget all the talk before the hatton and de la hoya fight of them being to big and strong, we know how that ended. I’m excited for this fight because I genuinely do not know who will win (unlike pbf vs jmm), will cotto be too big and powerful or will pacman beat the odds again
To the all big mouth guy who posted a comment, ur sayin that cotto shoulda done what mosley did then we’d be thinkin different of him? Then u call us “bobos?” well cotto didn’t do that that’s why we don’t think of cotto like you do. So what now u gonna make a legit comment?
Manuel this was to be expected from you. And to the guy impersonating Floyd mayweather, mayweather predicted a PACQUIAO win get your facts straight if you’re gonna pretend to be someone else
Typical perez, as the fight comes up he changes his mind. At first after the Clottey fight, Cotto is shot. Then when the Pac fight is made, he is a warrior who is the best fighter out there. And now he isn’t the best in the Welterweight division. Getting Cold feet Perez?
Manny Perez makes some good points but I do not believe Williams will ever fight as welterweight again. It will be very difficult for Williams to make the weight without hurting himself. Cotto already beat Mosley so I do not see what that accomplishes. Lastly, yes a fight with Margacheato would be good for Cotto. Without bricks in his hands Margacheato would be a lame duck, as Mosley has proven. If anything Cotto should be ranked ahead of Mosley. Mosley has had one good fight in let’s say the last four. That fight was against Margacheato who really only brings a good chin to the table. Margacheato doesn’t have the skills to hang with the big boys.
By the time Mosley gets in the ring it would have been about a year since his last fight. I look for Mosley to get hit alot in his next fight. Father time is upon him and the inactivity isn’t helping him any.
Youre supposed to write about this lame reasons/excuses after Pacquiao beat up your Cotto. Your too early – about a month early. Think of more excuses why Pacman beat your Cotto so u can write some more trash after the bout and decrease your embarrasment.
I will give 5-7 rounds. Cotto will destroy pacman…tbh pac is over-rated and for amir khan, he will lose to salita then freddy rush will be jobless hehe.
All of you are a bunch of Bobos, you telling me that because miguel cotto lossed with margarito on the last rounds, if you remember cotto was beating margarito all the fist rounds and the only thing diferent that mosley did was work margarito body if cotto would it work margarito on the body that nite the hystory would be diferent and all of you would be tinking diferent about cotto now. Bunch of BOBOS
Cotto would beat Mosley,the cheat Margarito again.
He is goingto give Pac a good fight also, its 50/50.
Cotto beats Mosley but Mosley is better,stopp writing crap.
ahh… PEREZ the RETARD. i can always count on you for a laugh. thank you my friend from the SHORT BUS.
Like what i said in my previous comment, Mr. Perez is a one-sided reporter. He fails to look at the other side of the story; it’s always half empty for him. He is entertaining though, but you can’t take him seriously since he’s missing being an objective reporter.
This writer is full of crap.
In the first few weeks, he reads about trouble in Pac’s sparring and he expounds on how Roach an Pac are overestimating themselves. He relishes the fact that Pac gets a beating from Porter. Even describing how he wished Cotto would slowly demolish Pacquiao for all the world to see.
Now, all of a sudden,as the fight draws near, he says “he LIKES! both of these fighters” HA HA HA!
Now he is offering up excuses and stating that he doesn’t care about this and that! WHAT A WEAKLING!
He is suddenly hedging his bets. Now, if Pac gets beat, he can offer up his anti-Pac articles. If Cotto gets beat he can show us THIS article.
What a COWARD!
and who the hell are you to say you’re not grateful for this fight???…oh yea….youre NOBODY!!!!!!
who cares…. just grab your leaf blower and clean up my front yard.
In Hawaii we use coconuts to prevent kidney problems & we play with sharks for fun………..
Aw I’m hurting somebody’s feelings…because you can’t take it…..
MANNY PACQUIAO…..THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD – USA – UK – MEXICO – PUERTO RICO & STILL THE BEST POUND 4 POUND KING EVER & FOR ALL TIME……..
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all you Pacquiao haters, blaming the writer Perez, for seeing the light that Cotto is an over rated fighter. Tune in Nov 14th for yet another chapter to see the King Pacquiao perform his magic
Hey Floyd, “to be the Man, you got to beat the Man”. Until you do that, you do not deserve the title as the Best!!!!!
Manuel Perez,if you are not greateful of the Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto, I wonder why in this world would keep writing about the fight.
It seemed to me that you are beginning to realize that Pacquiao has a better chance of winning the fight than Miguel Cotto.
In the pas, you were so sure that Cotto will demolish Pacquiao, now it seems you are not too sure.
What a deadhead you are.
I think for once Perez saw the light, he now understands that Manny Pacquiao is the New sheriff in town. No one comes close
But dont get me wrong “Money” i still respect you for coming back.I hope you watch the fight as i will, then we will see who will be crying after the fight.
Is this guy really going to stop writing articles here if Pac wins? I’d like to see Cotto win, but if there are going to be no more writing from this guy…
Cotto will be training to lose weight not for the fight. my opinion 4th round TKO by manny and then i will make sure i buy a ticket to apply his sweet music on “Money” Mayweather
I think manny deserves the bigger share of the money when he fights floyd. Aint the IRS still hunting him?????
it’s all about economics, these dudes are the best out there at the moment, forces to reckon with and worth every single cent you could afford in these economic trials.
for all you manny haters especially u floyd mayweather. i cant wait for him to destroy cotto then re-arrange your face
Another case of a writer who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Margarito as one of the best welterweights? Floyd who won’t even fight another welterweight? Please. Get a clue or atleast half of a brain.
manuel, bet on pacquaio. you know now you be coming home a winner.
how come mr. perez say this, in his previous article he says that cotto is the best welterweight, why you change your line now, do you smell something going on on nov. 14th favor on pacquiao, haha you’re such a loser mr. perez, nice one. f*** y**
Ummmm…didn’t Quintana beat Williams, for 12 strait rounds?!!! And we all know what happened to Quintana when he fought Cotto – as a 4 to 1 favorite I might add. I think Williams should stay where he’s at. Just a thought…
cotto is a boring fighter, i hope manny destroys him
News for some of you .
SPANISH people are from spain so u may write latin maybe if you want to talk about some one who speak spanish on america.
and cotto is not in hes prime maybe like some one wrote if he get a comeback great fight to prove hes over the margarito loss then u can take it as someone dangerous the first before margaritos was a fighter getting a beating cuz it wasnt against a talented boxer, then last fight was against clotey and he won in a very discussed decition so be realistic.
the belt situation is lame, how you make a fighter come in a weight catch and then demand that the weight its inside the limit then os on the line thats not a good way to mae thing if he want the belt fight at the limit set in the division.
as far for this bout is gonna be good not exelent cuz of the cherry picking of pacman an exelent fight is betwen top fighters dont forget that.
It sounds like Manny Perez is setting himself up mentally for a Pacquiao win!
Ok so u keep talking crap! Just make sure u ain’t talking about never writing antoher article again if pacquiao wins. K? That’s your word.
this web site is like your love diary for manny. admit it you are VERY GRATEFUL for PAC as we can see with your daily entries.
Peerezz , you started changing tune. Your last articles portrayed Cotto as the best and indestructible welterweight champ and he will wreck Pacquio apart like littered car parts.
Now, you are slowly saying Cotto is not the best. I am guessing if Pac will defeat Cotto, this is a ready excuse that Cotto is not the same, past his prime…2lb pound underweight drained….blah.. blah…
I’ll watch you.
Be consisistent man.
not “grateful” or “interested?” PAC is the only guy you talk about. like a school girl with her first crush.
was perez grateful that mayweather beat up his bff marquez?
You’re not grateful? (Then don’t watch(but definitely, you will) Fans all over the world has been waiting for this fight. There are many several reasons for why Pac is fighting Cotto and not Mosley,Maywthr,PWilliams.
1)Mosley= not a PPV attraction
2)Mayweather= too late to announce his comeback
3)Williams= moved to middle weight division. It’s ugly fight mismatch. 6foot 1 with 75 wingspan against 5 foot 6
4)Margarito= still suspended.
Obviously, you are too naive to know this or you lack the knowledge and expertise in boxing industry
It’s not just his wars with Hatton, Dela hya, and Diaz, that Pacman’s stock shot up. IT’S HIS WARS WITH YOUR COUNTRYMEN THAT RAISE HIS STOCK. Barrera(2x), Morales(3x), Marquez(2x). BLOOD SUCKING LEECH.
if pacquiao picked shane mosley, u’d prob be the same writer to criticize him for fighting old fighters. if he fought margarito, you’d prob ask why he didn’t fight shane mosley who beat margarito. and he couldn’t get a mayweather fight. so shut it, u don’t know anything.
its is not pacquiao’s fault if cotto wanted to fight him at 145. its all about the money… and its not a big deal having to loose just a pound. (as he weighs 146 last time)… i mean really!!! go find another day job man, and leave this to people who have more logical knowledge than you. all you do is winge!
i have all the respect for cotto, he has proven that he is one of the best there is in this business. i wish him all the luck. i hope to see a good fight between them, and regardless of what will happen on november 14th, that will never change.
and btw, how could you possibly rate PBF as #2?! damn!!! i havent seen him fighting someone who is a real threat, which makes his matches very predictable and boring, because you could already see him winning by a decision.
and with that premiss, you can see why people admire pacman, because of the quality of opponents he have faced. not dodging anyone as long as its just within his weight range.
Cotto will win this fight in 7 rounds by k.o.
Cotto definitely in the top 3 Welterweights. Margo #3? Get outta here, that cheater got banned and he’s not even top 10 on my list anymore. If it wasn’t for his chin, he would be nothing more than a journeyman.
Williams isn’t a welter anymore. Has been, could be, but he just isn’t now. And besides, he’s a bit overrated as well. He’s good, but no greatness.
Hahaha i’m right 2 days ago. Little by little you are discrediting COTTO so you’ll have an excuse when Pac beat him on Nov 14. U’re a st*pid playin smart *ss f*g!
Where’s the oh IM SO EXCITED to see how Cotto shut the living daylight out of Pac?@!
yawn….for someone who despises Pacquiao so much…Manuela Perez sure writes about him a whole ton. Pacquiao in ten!
nonsense!!! all bulls@it!!!
Mosley better than Cotto? You base this on Mosley’s victory over a plaster of paris-less Margarito, not to mention the excessive holding Mosley did. He should of been penalized for such holding.Its Funny how no more mentions Mosley looked his aged against Ricardo Mayorga! Gave Mosley all he can handle. In fact Mosley was down on 1 or two scorecards. Mosley is another idiot. He claims to be the best welterweight in the world, yet he lost to cotto and won’t fight Paul Williams. He said this plenty of times, ” he doesn’t want to fight williams” Margarito=powerless without plaster! Mosley=fortunate it was found prior to the fight!
hahahaha cotto defeated mosley & yet mosley is better?! makes a lot of sense! this guy is sensing defeat i hope you keep your promise of quitting writing if cotto losses
Now you are following my advice and slowly shifting gears as fight night draws near. Come on Perezita, pile on the excuses! One a day please
Pacquiao fight Williams? Wow. You really are stupid.
This writer is so bias, Mr.Perez(Hispanic) favors Miguel Cotto because he is a spanish fighter. His previous articles were pretty much praising MIguel Cotto as the Welterweight king, and now saying were ungrateful because cotto is not better than the man he previous beat Shane Mosley? I tried to disregard all these comments of how much of a fool you are. But times have changed and ignorance is the enemy of patience.
