Pacquiao vs. Cotto: Will Miguel defeat Manny?
By Manuel Perez: Manny Pacquiao is thinking he’s going to be fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. sometime next year, but I think World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto may end up giving Pacquiao a bad beating and mess up his chance for a mega fight with Mayweather. Cotto, 28, will be facing Pacquiao on November 14th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao and Cotto will be fighting with Miguel’s WBO welterweight title on the line at a 145 pound catch weight.
Pacquiao has been beating up weight drained fighter like Oscar De La Hoya and nearly defenseless ones like Ricky Hatton. Now Pacquiao is facing a real threat and he’s going to have a real mess on his hands on November 14th, and I can’t wait to see Pacquiao getting beaten up.
That rightfully be Cotto’s fight, but I know that Mayweather will probably still fight Pacquiao anyway, leaving Cotto, the victor, to have to scrape up whatever he can put together as far big money fights go.
Cotto needs to throw to the sides to make sure he doesn’t knock the air out of Pacquiao’s tiny body.
You can’t have the fight ending early from a body shot. I can just see the excuses that will role in on that one. ‘Ah, I was blinded by flash from a camera and, ah, didn’t see Cotto throwing to my stomach area.’ Next, after working over Pacquiao’s midsection, Cotto needs to go for the face. He’s got to hit him but no too hard.

hey perez, now what? Manny won, you lost! Your article was a waste of time indeed.
I hate Pacquiao because he is using Manny, not Manuel.
NYahahaha!
Your dreams fulfilled. Manny caught a lot of great shots from cotto.
Mine as well. Cotto crawling on the canvas like a kid findin’ his lost mother.
AHAHAHAHA NOW WHAT???
Where are you Perez? Are you retired? You apologize to Paquiao and stop abusing him.
Manny in my heart for ever.
Best regards to the boxe lovers (not to Perez).
It’s now Nov. 15, the day after the Pacman-Cotto fight.
No Comment.
YOU ARE AN EPIC FAIL SIR!!
LULZ. Wonder what all the haters got to say about Pacqiao’s victory. Always gotta come up with some lame excuse. LOL SRSLY SRSLY ?!
Lawl all you haters are a joke. Espcially Mr. Perez. Lmfao guess who won?? Yea that’s right BIOOTCH~ Pacquiao. Now GTFO! KTHX BAI
Perez you have been wrong completely the forecast on Pacquiao – Hatton. You now restart and you attack again Pacquiao. If you are wrong again, if you are a man, you have to leave the career of journalist.
Well the talk is Pacman is goning to knock Cotto out, well I’m sorry Cotto is a Beast and he should keep his game plan.
ha ha ha….huh huh huh…..too bad for you Perez. Must be hurting a lot losing all your bets against the Pacman…..but maybe this is your turn around……bet a lot more against Pacman, just don’t know if you’ll get somebody against, the way you write against Pacman. It looks like he’s got no chance……too bad for you. Maybe, you can settle to hugging and rubbing your wound.
Yes, Manny can retire after this bout. At any rate he will retire a Mega-millionaire.
Although Cotto is the welter champ, he doen’t even make half of what Manny makes. Thanks to Manny, he’s now in the big leagues and can also retire mega-rich.
Señor Perez, on the otherhand, will no longer have Manny to capitalize on. He may end up retiring too to collect social security.
to tell you the truth, the blogger is no other than COTTO! biased!
listen people i agree and i give manny some credit he is a good boxer and deserve some credit,now re cotto u guy’s said cotto have not fight nobody with manny speed u guys forgot cotley,zab judah and mosley all of them good speed what happen to all of them cotto made them look slow and beat all of them fear and square now did u boxing fan forgat floyd lost the first 6 round to zab before zab losted on the fight again the corner it ws a mess what happen after that he lost the fight,now what Cotto did to zab it kill him he quit on that fight never being hit so hard he even said it.Now if u guy thinks cotto have not fight quik boxer like manny all of u are wrong study some more,and manny now u will fight a true welterweight on miguel cotto not a old De La Hoya,what floyd did to marquez was ugly now remember marquez beat manny dont u guy’s forget that.that’s my statement Cotto win this fight is manny comes to fight Cotto will be knock the hell out if pac goes to the bicycle them will be decision,but Cotto will raise again,i promise u that.
in every battle there is always a tyrant & the chosen one. And who is always the victorious. “PACMAN” IS THE CHOSEN ONE. HE WILL WIN BY THE 5TH ROUND. COTTO WILL BE SO CONFUSED BECAUSE OF THE FLURRY OF PUNCHES THAT HAS NOT SEEN IN HIS LIFE. IT’S LIKE FACING A “TYPHOON”. so MR.P it shows how u hate him so much because Manny defeated all your favorite boxers.Just wait and see this is history in the making. PACMAN rules.
alay kapanget naman nitong sinulat ng may-akda. parang patagong nagmumura laang
Cotto (W) Pac Man (L)
I predicted a lot of wins since Iron Mike.Sometime I wish i was wrong, but i always come out right.the Winner of this fight is Pacman.
GREAT ARTICLE PEREZ! Finally, some1 acknowledges the truth. Over-Rated Fackman is going to catch the beating of his life. In the ring against Cotto Fackman will have no Rosary to save him. People are pathetic for ruitting for Fackman, where in reality his is not an all around CHAMP, like Cotto. Fackman can’t move like Cotto, can’t punch like Cotto, has no defense like Cotto, and above all he is a bloaded piece of bread. Whos your champion now!
you idiot and brain damage manuel peret you jealous guy wait till nov 14 and you’ll be surprise manny will come victorious.
let the gloves decides the outcome of the fight not your writting, after 12 rounds one of them will really retire for good…..
hahaha oh man i like cotto too but this article is plain garbage…you should retire..
Very interestingand narrow perspective on the match outcome.
I have respect for Cotto, but he struggled hugely in his last match – it was not a very inspiring match.
When we examine the the current credentials and boxing abilities of Manny, I have difficulty drawing a conclusion, or agreeing with Perez, that it will be a one-sided affair on Cotto’s behalf.
I do sense that many so called critics doubt Manny’s strengths and status as a boxer. However, when we make a list of the fighters he has defeated with style, speed and ferocity, no critic can silence the deafening achievements that have lead Manny to this point in his stunning boxing career!
only a coward and stupid person lyk you will say that manuelita
This is ridiculous. I mean, there’s no thought on this material. It’s like someone writing a hate letter on the wall of a public bath room. Get a life Perez, do your homework…
Perez will lose so much money again this coming Nov 14 betting his guy Cotto. Perez obviously anti Pacman coz he lost so much money betting those Mexicans fighters like Marquez, Morales barerra etc. He never learn to pick a good fighter thats why he is so bias to Pacman when it comes writing his own article.
Manuela Perish,
You sound like you are so desperate..you should be the one to retire from making nonsense comments if you can’t avoid to be bias. Haven’t you watched Manny’s fights to convince you who is the best?
Manny in 7th!
All I can say is that you better not revert to your “Cotto was handpicked” excuses if Cotto loses to Pacquiao.
is this an article or a desperate prayer to the devil?
Ya’ll WRONG PACMAN will Kill Cotto before 9th round Promise you bobo!!
when ROCKET MISSILE land once on cotto’s face, it’s finish. same with manuel perez last breath!..
Oh yeah… Manny TKO’s Cotto in the 10th. That’s My Prediction.
Wow. Somebody named ‘Perez’ has a grudge against a Filipino. I’m sorry if he destroyed all mexicans that he faced. That there was no mexican fighter left after Pacquiao rampaged through them.
You grossly underestimate Pacquiao’s power and speed. One solid hit is all it takes for Pac to unleash hell on Cotto and it’s game over.
BTW just in case you wanna say I’m being a filipino fanboy, my middle name’s Perez too.
wow mannys gang is up for attak go pacmaniacs go!!!!!
damn trols just stop posting if you dont like what u see
and for u mr perez you really suck my friend.
I know Halloween is coming up, but why all of the bloody wishes and fantacies for a boxing article? I would love to see Cotto put Pac on his back counting sheep like Hatton. But Damn, chill out!
Wow just let make this clear de la hoya the cash cow fought manny for a check $$$with cotto it is about pride let’s be honest manny is taking cotto to lightly ….cotto is stepping in the ring at his prime and he has never been more focused …I’ve personally seen and spoke with cotto at fight factory in tampa … let me not credit manny I like manny he is great and one of the best today however. He has never fought somebody strong and smart like cotto. Cotto tko 7th round
I like both fighters, I anticipate a good fight. I agree that both men are sportsmen. A split decision may happen especially in Las Vegas where a Phillipino crowd will out weigh a Cotto following. However, Cotto is an experienced fighter that has shown vulnerability in the past, but I think that many underestimate his ability to be a boxer and not just a brawler. Then, I could be wrong, one punch in this match up could change the outcome. I think we are all in for a treat.
Riviago
I see you Pacman. If Cotto doesnt get the job done i definately will. Pacman id going down!!! Perez your the best. Keep on the good work!
“Okay, so back to the beating. I want Cotto to focus on working over Pacquiao’s midsection, but he has to be careful that he doesn’t hit Pacquiao too hard because I don’t want Pacquiao flopping around on the canvas like a fish out of water, gasping for breath after Cotto lands a big body shot.”
Hahahah. Back to the beating. LOL. But, I like the narration, it’s like reading a novel. You can be a comic or cartoon writer.
no worries manuel perez will get what he deserves. you’ll see.
cotto is too slow for manny mate. I bet 1 gran for manny.
Y’all remember when almost everybody thought Pac has no chance against Dela Hoya? It turned out PAc rearranged Oscar’s pretty face. Well, this time almost everybody thinks Pac will beat Cotto. You are in for a huge surprise. Cotto will rearrange Manny’s ugly face. (- Da Original Batangueño)
Cmon u people really think manny will beat a true welter … you people have no boxing knowledge …perez is correct with some of what was said …all of this manny hype and die hard fans but. Not. one can expain how manny can beat cotto…wtf …speed lol … like cotto has not seen that all ready… not even roach knows how to beat cotto …FACE IT AFTER 11/14/09 WE WILL SEE WHO THE WORLD CHAMP IS…STILL THAT IS
If Pacman swim/kiss the canvas at fight night that will be the time to re-org his team. Some of Pacquiao’s supporters wanted this this to happen (loss to Cotto) because they can bet on Cotto’s corner. Double up their bets on Pacquiao’s demise.
I call on Manny to really think deep.
i be realistic if the cotto i know and we all know show on Nov 14 pac have no change,but if cotto dont trow away the lost he have with margarito even do it was prove he is a cheater,i give a really good change to pac and theirs is no bigger Cotto fan then me,but im being real about it cotto have to be Cotto when he goes up on tha ring with pac b/c he is a good fighter and i giving that.
Well…make sure that if you’re man enough to make this prediction…if Cotto loses, you should be Man enough to admit your stupidity
Liam Santiago is going to quit writing if he is wrong…you should do the same and be a Man!!
Pac will box Cotto to early retirement, jab=jab then his face will burst like a bad zit, then on the 9th round Cotto will take a knee, lookin’ up hands up spittin’ the mouthpiece and sayin “I give up”,then he will wink at Pac like sayin’ You the Man!!
SENOR MANWILL PEREZ FOR YOUR INFORMACION SENIOR, IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. WHO DID COTTO RETIRE?….. nobody, no one NADA. WHO DID PACQUIAO RETIRE? WELL LETS COUNT IT STARTING WITH BARRERA,ERIC MORALES,MAYBE MARQUEZ, DAVID DIAZ, OSCAR DE LA HOYA, RICKY HATTON, PROBABLY COTTO AND YOU TOO MANWILL PEREZ. HAHAHAHAHA !
Pacman is fighting for History a fight that everyone will remember where no one ever accomplished a 7th division Championship.Win or Loose everyone should be thankful,Pacman is making boxing the biggest attraction in Sports today.
i agree with your upside down crystall ball perez, pacman will be beaten again badly just like by dlh and hatton and now by cotto. now folks you already know what exactly will happen, perez’ predictions are accurate
my bbys daddy miguel cotto is ganna winn!
Cotto will be knocked out by the 3rd round.
Perez–What are you going to do when MP does retire? I bet you write articles about how this fighter or that fighter would have beaten MP in his prime. Its a shame that you waste your knowledge of the sport of boxing writing the same old s–t over and over again.
“I want the eyes to puff, the lips to bleed and the nose to get flattened, but Cotto mustn’t try to brain Pacquiao with anything too hard because that will be letting him off the hook”
Amazing hatred coming to a boxer coming from a writer. What else can you say when we are proven wrong again by Pacquiao.
Let’s wait and see.
Manuel Perez can drop dead.
p4p biggest donky perez
how about i knock you out perez?
Pacquiao doesn’t get any respect from the critics for scoring big time wins from Diaz, DelaHoya and Hatton, they’re not shut or washed out fighters. He deserves the accolades for a job well done, making great fighters look ordinary, but if he doesn’t amend his ways in training, he will be in for the shock of his life. I just find it ridiculous rehearsing for an after party… Manny, you’re a boxer and forget about about politics and showbiz for now, there is a time for everything and right now the time for you is boxing! I wish you well.
IF COTTO DECIDES TO STALK PACMAN IN THIS FIGHT AND HE LIKELY WILL EXPECT PACMAN TO STUN HIM JUST LIKE TONY MARGARITO, ZAB JUDAH, RICARDO TORRES,AND PITTER PATTER PUNCHER DEMARCUS CORLEY DID. AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS PAC WILL UNLOAD ON COTTO AND HE WILL TAKE A KNEE. Now when cotto gets stunned and pacman starts stalking i guarntee you that pac will get his shots in he has a high volume of powerful quick punches with short arms.
more power to you perez
Your crystal ball is wrong (again!)
I disagree…
I think Pacquiao will send Manny Perez into retirement.
Mr Manuel Perez. with do respect of your opinion , I totally disagree on your prediction.. Unfortunately , and I hope this is not pure racial preference because your name sounds like spanish last name… Give this small guy a chance which he been proving his worth…Im from germany , and I have seen this happen all the time, especially the asian race being treated unequal to other races… So my opinion my the BEST MAN WIN…. GOD BLESS THE WORLD
wow.. into retirement? a little jealous there Perez.. if you’re so sure of that… i’m down to bet ya 10K that Manny wins and that he doesn’t go into retirement after this.. put your money where your mouth is beoootch !
bless his heart. PEREZ can’t cut his own meat or cross the street w/o holding his mom’s hand, but somehow he can blog.
These are the following people predicting Pacquiao to win:
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mike Tyson
Bernard Hopkins
Nacho Beristain – 5 to 6 rounds KO, “will hit Cotto like a rocket/missile…”
Antonio Margarito
These are the following people predicting a Cotto win:
Manuel Perez
I rest my case.
manuela perez lost a lot of money by betting on hatton and de la hoya thats why he hates pacman alot,well his losing streak will continue on nov 14 after pacman batters cotto via a tko win,and also manuela perez together with his buddy liam santiago will stop writing nonesense boxing article here, so long fellas pac man in 6 rounds
i thik cotto will hammer pac man pac is a good fighter but not as good as cotto. cotto to ko pac man 4 round
Perez is a douche!
Well said Dan. Manny is one of the true champions we have in boxing. Ever so humble.
I agree with dracula boy hes right, Cotto has the heart.
Considering he was undefeated until Margarito robbed him and killed his streak. NO doubt that Cotto could beat Manny.
i go for Cotto for November bout to win.
That was funny!! I want Cotto to win but I don’t want Manny hurt to badly. He is one of the few good fellas in boxing.
I think Cotto could beat manny,
Considering he’s one of the best. He has the heart to do it, that’s what i think i don’t know what others may think.
I go for Cotto on Nov. to win.
Totally agree with you Perez you are the smartest
boxing writer I always follow and can’t wait to read more. More power to you man keep on writing whatever is in your expressive mind.
PAC ate perez’s dog.
I am not sure what Pacquiao has done to you that you hate him so much. So much bitterness and hatred…oh I know, you must have lost a lot money when you placed your bet on Hatton or Dela Hoya last time they fought Pacquiao, bwahahhahahaha.
Lol, what a load of old rubbish this article is. MP shines again.
Whatever happens on fight night will depend on both fighters. Cotto is great but the contents of this article sound like you lost money from Pacquiao’s previous fights BIG TIME.
What you wish will never happen as both fighters are sportsmen.
Alright man!Now thats a little crazy.Cotto in ten.
a MEXICAN butt kissing a PUERTO RICAN fighter? how does your BFF mexican warrior MARQUEZ feel about this? SHAMEFULL!
Perez, you should be the one retiring… Don’t you have to go to work and earn a living like any decent man? What do you do with your day besides jealously blabbing against Pacquiao? You’re such a bonehead…
