Cotto vs. Pacquiao: Miguel to prevent Manny from winning 7th title
November 4th, 2009
By Manuel Perez: Manny Pacquiao will be trying to make boxing history on November 14th by winning seven world titles in seven different weight divisions when he steps in the ring with WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cotto, 29, will have his World Boxing Organization title on the line despite the fight being held at a 145 pound catch weight for the bout, a move to make it a tad easier for Pacquiao to match up with the talented Puerto Rican fighter.
Never the less, the title will be on the line for this fight and there’s nothing Cotto can do about it other than beat Pacquiao black and blue and send him packing. Pacquiao needs to forget about trying to pick up belts and should focus more on fighting the best opponents he can. Pacquiao has bit off more than he can chew by moving up in weight to fight Miguel Cotto.
This isn’t a shot Oscar De La Hoya or a Ricky Hatton fighting in a primitive caveman style against him. This is a skilled fighter still in his prime and ready to take Pacquiao’s head clean off his shoulders. Cotto is likely going to rip into Pacquiao and bust him up, and cause both eyes to bleed, his nose to leak blood everywhere and color his trunks a bright red for this fight. I just hope that Roach doesn’t let the fight continue too long if Pacquiao starts getting battered by Cotto.
Pacquiao may be going into this fight hoping to get a 7th world title, but he’ll come out of it with by far the worst beating of his career, one that will cause him to think seriously about retiring from boxing. Pacquiao may pick up a 7th title in the future if he sticks around after this fight and finds an easier mark to fight, but he won’t be getting any 7th title in this fight.
What I believe Pacquiao will be getting is bloodied and battered in the worst way in the Cotto fight. I rarely feel sorry for a fighter when they’re taking a beating, but I think I’ll feel bad for Pacquiao if Cotto takes him apart too badly in this fight. I don’t want Pacquiao to be torn apart by the hard punching Cotto. I just want him beaten badly enough to the point where Pacquiao understands that he’s over reached the potential of his body in stepping up against the welterweight Cotto.
Every fighter much know their potential, and for Pacquiao he’s going to find out his limit against Cotto on November 14th. After they probably have to carry Pacquiao out of the ring on a stretcher, Pacquiao may rethink his desire for a 7th world title.
But I don’t see it happening against Cotto nor any of the other welterweight champions unless the fight takes place at a weight draining catch weight around 142.

gizmo, another ignoramous like you,here we go again another excuses,common give the filipino guy a credit,he is one of the best and the best of this era.and for you manuela – don’t know if you a guy or whatever, feel sorry for you , and you call yourself a writer, what ashame.mabuhay! Mga pilipino!
Manny Pacquiao did a very good work on this fight!
Pacquiao won because his strenght is from God and his speed is a gift from the Almighty.
Este escritor es un payaso gracioso. Yo me río tan fuerte que casi se cae de la silla. Hurry to PACMAN!!!
to the pinoy fans its time to celebrate but also time to pray for Z Gorres he is a young boxer that won his fight on 11/13 but is not in a coma fighting for his life
Cotto is a decent fighter without a great chin he simply didnt want to trade much with pac. Cotto know realizes that having a mediocore trainer against Freddy Roach is a joke. Pac took cotto’s punches but cotto couldnt take pac punches
Finally, pac will fight an african american fighter either mayweather, mosley, or Paul Williams. Guys with speed, power, and a chin. None of the 3 have ever been knocked out
I am quite surprised by the original post. It was amazing that Cotto lasted 11 rounds. Did you see his face after the fight? Worth a thousand words.
Miguelpr said Coto in 10R. Nah, it was Coto 12R… savagely beaten, back pedalling and one breath away from being knocked out completely. What a joke. LMAOF!
Hey, Mr. Perez I think when you check your crystal ball you saw it the other way around…You saw cotto being battered by pacquiao and since cotto’s face cannot be recognized due to pacquiao’s beating you thought its pacquiao…hehehehe
Where are you Mr. Perez? Now tell me what you think about Pacquiao?
How was it again? Pacquiao is the greatest fighter pound for pound.
Better believe it after the mockery we all witness last night.
Hats off to Coto. A great fighter and was willing to accept that he got beaten by a better fighter.
You were right about the savage beating part. It was a savage beating of Coto. Just like the others they all can’t handle the Filipino fighter.
I can’t wait for your take about Pacquiao-Mayweather. I’m sure you have an insightful opinion about that.LOL!
Hahaha, Cotto was meat for the best fighter in the world
now what can you say?????? fight is over cotto is finish and beaten seriously , hehehehehehehe
HAHAHAHA!!! WHERE ARE YOU MANUEL PEREZ!! SAVAGE BEATING? HAHAHAHA!! IDIOT!! LOOK AT THE FACE OF COTTO
Hahahahahaha!!!!Manuel Perez,Manny beat your Cotto.what can you say about that?you know what you wish to a good fighter,humle heart and generous manny pacquiao will happen to you(not in the ring but anywhere)if you won’t take back what you wrote.
I hope you follow an honorable man’s example,
Miguel Cotto is just that man.
May you be a simillar man and make credible
reading. The time for slopstick journalism
is over.
People are seeing rite though this fight..Manny has speed but a good jab is the key to speed.. cotto has one of the strongest jabs at his weight. The test that cotto has is getting a cut or his conditioning.. Manny advantage is his speed and his long round of conditioning.. you really cant anwser no question until this fight is over.. luv both fighter.. david meets goliath.. just to end the note do u think pacman hits harder then r torres.. cotto real test…
people,if u guy’s read my last comments am a person that when see a boxer is great and haved great skills like manny has will give respect.Now all am saying dont think this fight will be like ODLH or Ricky hit me am open Hatton please. Cotto out jap the master sugar shane on that fight he out box sugar shane I was a little worried on that fight not b/c i didnt know cotto cant box is b/c also i know who sugar shane is the guy that beat ODLH when oscar was on his prime ok.Cotto he guys can said all u want that is just proving my point all of you.u guy’s really know what this guy can bring to the table is all good b/c i know what manny bring to the table too.But on nov 14 u guy’s will see the miguel cotto of all i promise u that. will see back here on nov 15.if i dont haved to jump again and get my last coments before the fight.
by the way all u Philliphinos i know u guys going to hard times i wich u guys the best and let this two warrior’s fight and lets not just disrespect other people opinions. Peace Cotto 10RD
lets be clear what manuel says its real.when trinidad beat everybody in welterweight division and did the same super welwelterweight everybody thought than it was going to be the same with bernard in midleweight its all about the frame of the body pacquiao cant compite with that frame with a real champion
I get you Manuel. You’re actually being biased to intrigue readers and get as many comments as you can.
But you’re good. Coz I can see that your style is really working.
One thing I think that is funny though. The people who seriously agree with you. I guess you find them funny too coz you didn’t expect them.
Manuela… what happppppeeeeeennnn? You’ve been so quiet. You’re scared now when the fight night is getting closer? You need to write more before you quit writing. We’re going to miss an idiotic writer. bwaaaaaaaaa… See below for an inspirational words from Ortiz for your reflection about Pacquiao or the Filipinos in general.
“If I were to be born again and became a boxer, I would move to the Philippines. In the Philippines they treated me as if I was one of them. I fell in love with Philippines with how well they treated me. There are very good people there. You do not have any idea of how well I was treated,” Ortiz said.
Relax, guys. The writer isn’t anyone credible. “Never the less”
This writer is out of his mind. Pac-Man should knock out Cotto in the 2nd round (my mother-in-law predicts the 3rd round). Pac-Man has fought all the best and hasn’t run from anyone (not implying that Cotto has run, because I like him a lot also). Pac-man has developed more power and speed over the years and has gotten wiser (he just keeps getting better and better). Confidence is a big factor in all parts of life and Pac-man has that over Cotto as well since Cotto got hurt by Margarito. Respect to both of these great athletes, but Pac-man is just too much.
ANGELO DUNDEE ONCE SAID BEFORE,QUICKNESS WILL DEFEAT A BIG GUY.ISN’T ANGELO? TELL THAT TO COTTO DUNDEE!!!
Please! Fehr:
Manuel Perez boricua? That’s an insult.
There’s no doubt that Mr. Perez has to be a puertorrican like me to have this kind of “onslaught” in his writings towards Paquiao!
But to be honest the “catch” weight of (145)pounds is not to give an advantage to the Pacman, it’s just to “level” the field! .
Besides the “welter” division is (140 to 147) so a fighter weighting (141) is a “welter” and can win or lose a championship.
You Mr. Pérez are not a true sportman since you would like to see a fight with a true disadvantage of (20+) pounds in favor of Cotto, Were is the “honor” for Cotto for victory under those conditions?
i think you don’t know boxing how come you are a boxing writer, for your information mr.perez 147lbs. is the limit in welterweight division so means above 140lbs. (light welterweight division) is covered of a welterweight division did you get it, ask dela hoya or hatton, you are making some excuses for a cotto loss.
MANNY HAS NEVER GONE DOWN IN HIS 6 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES…THINK ABOUT IT…WHY??????THE MAN LOVES PAIN….HE’S CRAZY…HE LOVES PAIN…I KNOW PEOPLE IN INSTITUTIONS WHO LOVE PAIN…HE GETS OFFF ON PAIN…IT’S HIS HIGH….Miguel doesn’t know he’s fight a psychopath……Manny will Knock him out so bad; Miguel is going to wake up in Puerto Rico….thinking he won…
i just hope most u calling u self boxing fan will be here written mesages about the fight when Manny lose this fight people the Oscar that fight Manny was drain no energy and u can said he quit and he face was looking ugly now u guy’s remeber when he fought TITO Trinidad he was winning most of the fight into he step up and started running and lost the fight that oscar was farter than Manny and will beat him down hands dawn not this one hell no way past his prime oscar is about counting money he dont come to fight any more so that was a giving for Manny ok now Cotto he will need to bring all his games and perfect to beat Cotto.Igot respect for both fighter and let the best win most respect peace
Pac on mat. His teeth wont be on the mat, hell swallow them and poop them out in a few days to have them glued back on.
WAK-PAK! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THAT’S A CRISP SLAP ON YOUR FACE IF PACMAN WINS HIS FIGHT WITH COTTO!!
Cotto won his last 2 fights at 146 against Jennings and ClotteySo why should Pacquiao fight him at 147?
I agree on your point about Cottos title should not be on the line for this fight
LOL VERY FUNNY ARTICLE PEREZ.I KNOW U KNOW WHO THIS IS,ITS BIG WILLY AND IM READY TO LET U KNOW AGAIN THAT U DONT KNOW ANYTHIN BOUT THE SPORT AND THAT U SOUND LIKE A FIVE YEAR OLD.BOTH R GREAT FIGHTERS,I RESPECT BOTH FIGHTERS BUT I AM A PACMAN FAN AND I THINK MOST PEOPLE WILL AGREE WIT ME THAT BETWEEN 140 AND 150 PACQUIAO IS THE BEST AND COME THE 14TH HE WILL PROVE THAT BY ADDING ANOTHER HISPANIC TO HIS RESAMAY.AND WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING U CAN CRY AND USE UR TEARS FOR LUBRICATION WHEN U JERK OFF TO MANNY’S PERFORMANCE U QUEER LOL.
sometimes when we touch
the honesty’s too much…
TO ALL READERS OF THIS CRAZY GUY
CHALLENGE THIS WRITER THAT IF PAC BEATS COTTO HE WILL WRITE GOOD ABOUT PAC IF COTTO BEATS PAC WILL AGREE TO ALL HIS STATEMENTS MADE IN THE PAST….
YOU WANNA COMMENT ON THIS MANUEL OR YOU DONT HAVE BALLS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!
Hey boxing fans.Irespect everybody opinion on this site but the only thing that i dont get is people talking about miguel cotto like he is a Ricky Hatton or a Drain De La Hoya,dont get me wrong Manny is a great fighter.But u guy’s are doing predicion on this fight based on what cotto fighting Margacheater that when they took those wrap away mosley destroy this cheater and Cotto beaten clean also Clottey the fighter that noby wanted to fight and Cotto was domination before he got that nasty Cut over he’s left eye i will like to see some of u fighting with a cut that big over 8RDS to see if will be the same result.Now going back to Cotto if Cotto would still be undefited going to this fight i bet none of u would be talking like this nop every body will said Manny went crazy he can handdle Miguel but guess what is still like that Manny as geat he is he can handdle Miguel he will be his Nemesis on nov14.peace
THIS WRITER IS BIPOLAR!! CANT MAKE UP HIS MIND WHETHER COTTO WILL WIN OR NOT!! COTTO LOSES BECAUSE OF CATCHWEIGHT ISSUES THEN WILL WRITE COTTO WILL BEAT PAC?!! CANT REALLY UNDERSTAND HIS STANDPOINT . HE CONSTANTLY CHANGES FROM STATE OF DEPRESSION TO MANIC STATE! OTHER WRITERS STICK ON THEIR PREDICTION OR JUST BE OBJECTIVE. THE MORE THIS PEREZ WRITES THE MORE HE IS BECOMING BIPOLAR.
camelarica, you are talking non-sense, go back to high school, college guy! lol. come nov 14, y’all gonna see pac sprawled on the canvas, singing “we’re all alone”. rofl.
the catchweight don’t mean sh!t – cotto.
pac doesn’t weigh the ceiling weight when he moved up weigh.
against DLH: 142 pounds
against Hatton: 138 pounds
so CATCHWEIGHT is not an issue.
a college guy here thinking common sense..
Bias article.. come november 14.. let’s see if you still talksh!t
i hope they are not paying you to write the same stupid thing over and over again. you’re a f#$%#$% idiot! pac hater!
i think mr. perez was not really a boxing writer or let say a boxing enthusiast. while reading he’s article, i think he’s more of a hater!he’s taking it more personal against the champ…try other things!try to comment on basketball!
He’s not focused because he did not drink his morning urine. Ooops! wrong fighter. It’s the mexican and Perez that like to drink each others urine and lick each others behind.
Actually, after reading all of the comments left by everyone, they all seem to have summed up Manuel Perez quite nicely. Cheers mates!
GUEST – You have summed up Manuel Perez quite nicely. I agree 100% and have for some time.
This writer, I hope, one day will come to think not like worm but a whale.
And besides Miguel signed a contract and agreed to a catch weight…..your boy is not so smart after all….
Manny will win with softer gloves…he doesn’t need cement because his fists are harder than cement, his fists are Jack-Hammers……….
Manny Pacquiao….
THE NEW UNDISPUTED WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD & STILL THE BEST EVER POUND 4 POUND KING OF ALL TIME…..ALOHA
This writer’s hate for the Pacman is undeniable. I don’t know what it is. I think you are a racist or a psychopath, or both. This is just a boxing match between 2 excellent fighters. Get a life.
puta imong mama
You again? Oh Im sick and tired of you Perez.
Why wont you just drink poison?
Why is that you dont know that welter is 141-147?
Catch weight existed even in the times of GOATS!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bum. Why dont you buy muriatic acid and drink it straight? lol!
Come Nov 14 Cotto will be martyred on top of the ring by a brutal knockout. The sledgehammer hands of Pacman will execute the judgment. Mrs Perez will be there to mourn for Mr cotto and persuade the govt of puerto rico to elevate him as a national hero.
BTW I do think Pacquiao is in trouble in this one . Yes he is a better fighter with greater speed and boxing ability . But Coto is no sloutch and is SO much bigger Cotto will only have to get 1 good clean shot to close the show . hard to predict this one .
Hello all. Im not a regular here but this guy Perez is the most biased writer? ive ever seen .( 2 Pacquiao bashing articles in the same day? =ridiculous!) If Pacquiao was fighting a fat 5th grader in the school playground Perez would predict Pacquiao was in grave danger of losing the title. Does this guy have a truly personal vendetta against Pac ? … And Perez must own this site or have a personal investment in the site . If not he certainly would be repremanded or let go for such obvious bias .
I hope your happy when your writing this article.I hope you do not have a son who is into sports.It’s only a game man.Come on!If Cotton wins their is no problem!Give him credit.but to write that someone must get hurt just to prove your point is somewhat crazy especially for a writer like you.I hope your editor of your company doesnt read your articles.You must be careful and have some entiquet.After this fight if Cootn wins as you wrote let’s celebrate for his victory but to ask that someone must have blodied eyes or bloodied nose just to make your prediction right is un acceptable.Everyone is reading your collum and with no age bracket and children will read your arcticles and your hoping for the worst to happend and maybe someday chils will also do what you are doing now.Man i know always have excuse and i will never gonna win with your reasons but i hope be careful what you wish for.Thanks! May Godbless you always!
Manuel Perez is HIJO DE PUTA!!!
this is a stupid writer 145 is still a welterweight fight …mr. writer research well before coming up a story…this writer is stupid…
SO IF MANNY BEAT COTTO, HAVE YOU GOT ANY EXCUSES READY?
LIST OF EXCUSES BY MANUELA PEREZ:
COTTO IS WEIGHT DRAINED AT 145 JUST ONE POUND LOWER WHEN HE FIGHT CLOTTEY. THATS A BIG DIFFERENCE. LOL.
COTTO IS NOT THE SAME PERSON WHEN HE WAS BEAT UP BY MARGACHEATO. HE IS NOW MIGUELA COTTON.
COTTO IS TOO SLOW… WELL THAT DIDN’T MATTER TO YOU BEFORE THE FIGHT, WHY BROUGHT IT UP NOW.
COTTO DID NOT MANAGED TO UNLEASH HIS SECRET LOW BLOW WEAPON… BLAME IT TO THE SPEED OF PACQUIAO
Manuel Perez…idiot!
putang ina mo manuela
Manuel Perez is the best !!!! hahaha, c’mon guys, can’t you get it? Manuel Perez was not given enough attention by his mother and father, so he applied for a writing job and presto, now he can get all the attention that he is longing for… Bravo Manuel Hijo (de Puta)… hahahaha
Perez hates Manny for beating his boyfriend Juan Manuel “I luv urine” Marquez.
you’re not a writer, you’re a poser, A “HATER” WBO title is on the line but what pacquiao is risking is a lot bigger than that the LABEL “POUND FOR POUND CHAMP” let your tiny little brain absorb that^^
stupid biased american fool
cotto weighed in at 146 in his last fight, pacman at like 139 against hatton i think. cotto is going down by one ONE POUND while manny is going up by least 5
you are just making excuses for when pacman kills cotto
manuela found an alibi very early!
manuela, what kind of narcotic have you been taking? did you use alcohol to push the drug down your throat?
i have to agree with gerry. I think manuel perez may actually be the worlds biggest pacman fan !! at home all his friends support cotto and he can’t defend manny in their debates so…, he comes here and riles everyone and their mom up into defending pacman because he can’t.
Seriously though,this is going to be a hell of a fight.
I like cotto’s “solidness” , i don’t know why but when i see this guy in action i think, ” damn this is one tough sob.”
On the other hand Manny is a typhoon in the first rounds of a fight and surely has the ability to connect punches and his movement has improved over time.
I must say that attitude is very important going into a fight of this caliber and well, although none of us really know how much masking goes on on these reality shows before the fight i would have to say manny looks pretty distracted, but maybe thats what he wants us to think?
Cotto looks hungry or maybe it’s just the way his face looks always.
Lastly and this might bring Mob Justice down on me but what i see here is a fight between two guys, one ( namely cotto ) that has solid defense and a shotgun like 1-2 not even to mention the left hook and then we have manny pacquiao who im my humble opinion does NOT hit so hard, it seems to me that he has the ability to counter-punch when his opponents are off balance to devastating effect and that this may be why he gets many early knockdowns against his opponents eg. hatton and DLH.
Manny will have to be careful though because he sometimes tends toward reckless maneuvers which puts him badly off balance during his puches.
Come November 14th i hope we see manny’s chin tested and i hope we see cotto boxing as tough as he thinks he is.
I must say you are way off on your prediction. Speed kills remember that!
Muppet!!
You will always have Urea margaritas and tacos to console your woes.
Manny’s gonna sing his heart out and maybe just maybe a little part of you will sing to the tune of Manny’s legendary status on par with Armstrong.
Mauel Perez actually likes Pacquiao. He even went to meet him at the Wild Card Gym.
boy manuel perez really hates pacquiao. manuel perez is still living his life in envy to the point where he is praying for pacquiao to get hurt really bad. wishing ill things for someone will result in bad karma.
boy!!! manuel perez really hates pacquiao. manuel perez is still living his life in envy to the point where he is praying for pacquiao to get hurt really bad. wishing ill things for someone will result in bad karma.
yeah, me too I miss Manuel. After the 14th, I will really miss him………..forever.
Haven’t heard from you in a long time. Where have you been? I actually miss your writing and Pacquiao bashing. Most of the writers think that Pacquiao will win this fight, but other writers think its Cotto. Both sides of the debate actually have good points on how they think their man would win. But to hear from you again, Mr Perez, I actually miss your kind of ignoramus kind of writing, one that sees the outcome so clear without pointing out the reasons why. Mindless opinion so to speak. Welcome back.
Im the undisputed champion. The first and only to knock out Mayweather Jr. without landing a punch. Look me up if you don’t me or the truth!
