Pacquiao the ‘Fighter of the Year’ for 2009?
November 21st, 2009
By Manuel Perez: Now that we’re getting close to the end of 2009, some of the popular magazines and what not will probably be selecting a ‘Fighter of the Year’ award for 2009. Well, knowing how much of a big deal was made out of Manny Pacquiao’s win over Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton in 2009, some of them might think about giving the award to Pacquiao. Personally, I wouldn’t even consider giving that award to Pacquiao. If they want to give the award to someone, they need to give it to Amir Khan.
They’ll give someone the award, but I wouldn’t give it to Pacquiao for those measly wins. I don’t even know why Cotto was selected as an opponent in the first place. If you know that Cotto has had some problems in losing a knockout to Antonio Margarito and then had to go life and death with Joshua Clottey, why on earth are you fighting him? Why wasn’t Shane Mosley, Paul Williams or someone like Floyd Mayweather Jr. selected if Pacquiao wanted to fight a welterweight.
I never did get excited about the Cotto-Pacquiao fight because I knew what we had here with this fight. You take a guy that was nearly beaten into the turf by Margarito, then make him fight at a catch weight, and as a result you’ve got a fighter that is not only weaker because he’s having to strip off more weight than unusual to fight, but you also have someone who might not have fully recovered from his loss last year and his brutal fight with Clottey.
If I had like that, I’d probably never lose a fight in my life. I know this is how boxing is run, but I’m not going to reward a fighter by selecting them as ‘Fighter of the Year.”
If Pacquiao had stepped it up and fought Mosley, Mayweather or Paul Williams, I’d be more than happy to crown Pacquiao the king sh-t fighter of 2009, but he didn’t, did he? What I saw was Pacquiao facing Cotto, who was torn limb from limb by Margarito and looked like crap against Clottey. How can you fight that guy so soon after those two brutal fights and think it’s a big deal if you beat him, especially when you thrown in a catch weight that Cotto had to fight at.
I’m sorry, I can’t give my vote to Pacquiao for fighter of the year for 2009. My selection goes to Khan, who proved a lot in my eyes.

well its pretty obvious why a mexcan like you will hate pacquiao, but dont you think as a sports writer you are monstrously biased?
dude youre a joke and this are your past predictions for pacquiao fight:
pacman vs. delahoya = Look For De La Hoya To Easily Beat Pacquiao
pacman vs. hatton = Is Pacquiao The Next Golden Boy? No, Because Manny’s Going to Lose to Hatton
(you even said this in another column) *Hatton Wins Weigh-In Stare Down, Pacquiao Looks Scared
pacman vs cotto = Pacquiao vs. Cotto: What Will Manny’s Excuse be When he Loses?
you even said pac will FOLD to cotto.
manuel you are stupid, and i dont know how are you still writing articles for boxing considering the fact that you are biased and know nothing about boxing, seriously you are prolly the dumbest writer in this website and go find another job.. and by the way im happy that you are thinking that floyd will win against manny, coz that boosted my confidence for pac, cheeyeah.
hey are you the manuel perez, teacher from miami that was in love with his HS student? aren’t you in jail? your just pathetic all around. the only reason you write negatively about pacman is because it’s the only way your writing will ever get attention. why don’t you just hide your kids and say they’re in a homemade hot air balloon
This boxing news website sucks… Everyone should stop reading from this website. NO credibility. Articles are from ignorance and stupidity.
CORRECTION ON MY LAST SENTENCE
AGAIN DO NOT POST ANY COMMENT AND EVENTUALLY HE WILL FADE AWAY
TO ALL WHO COMMENTED HERE
YOU GUYS ARE AS DUMB AS HE IS FOR COMMENTING ON THIS BOARD. EVERY COMMENT THAT HE GET IS A CREDIT TO HIMSELF. ITS CALLED A HIT. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET RID OF THIS S*T*U*P*I*D F*U*C*K*I*N*G CLOWN IS DO NOT RESPONSE TO HIS IDIOTIC ARTICLE. AGAIN DO POST ANY COMMENT AND EVENTUALLY HE WILL FADE AWAY.
Boohooohoooo.
Manuel & Liam are left outside the Pac-Man victory party…Boohoohooo.
Don’t worry, when the party’s over, there’ll still be plenty of left-overs for you and Liam?
This guy predicted the Pacman will be pulverized at the hands of Cotto and will leave the ring on a stretcher. Now he’s claiming Cotto was weight drained, albeit, by 1 or 2 pounds because Cotto was fighting at around 146 to 147 pounds.
This guy has no shame! After being humiliated, he’s back again! He has no shame just like those murderers and rapists.
Now he’s claiming the Fighter of the Year award shouldn’t go to Pacquiao. Talk about credibility!
It’s a pity…your vote won’t be needed anyway…so just keep your vote!
But I do want you to continue writing because it amuses me…I always have this kind of feeling when reading your articles..indeed, laughter is the best medicine..you must have been so upset with all the fighters you pick to win against Pacman losing miserably! You still have one more to pick though and I’m sure a lot of betting fans are waiting for your pick because they will pick the opposite…hope you won’t pick the PAC to win otherwise the jinx will end right there and then.
Very good article for a very respectable man!!!
I love you and we love you here in Mexico. Come and visit us. Keep up the good work.
another vote from CANADA WIDE /friends and family from USA, 95millions plif,
STUPID and IDIOT WRITER of the year/and winner is
Manuel Perez
m perez blogged this on the short bus on his way to school
STUPID AND IDIOT WRITER OF THE YEAR 2009
vote:
How about tupid and idiot writer of the year 2009!
You need to stop writing about Boxing Perez…you are as shameful and pathetic as a writer as they come…and the company that pays you should be ashamed as well!!! Stupid!
What now?? can’t find another excuse?? find the most pathetic excuse this time..
Bottom line is you were wrong about Pacquiao and you should quit writing!!!
Khan is a joke put him in with a puncher and its lights out 4 Khan. Pacquiao fighter of the year by a mile
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
weight Drained you have got to be kidding 2 lbs is nothing and i’m sure Cotto came in at least 150 lbs.
He had no excuses for his loss. In fact to he had praise for Pacman saying he was the best fighter he ever faced. Surely you can come up with a better excuse for Cotto than that or you can just face reality like the majority and see that the better man won.
As far a Hatton not being able to take punch all of a sudden is BS too. Manny is too good too fast and thats what led to a KO plain and simple.
Manuel, keep riding on Manny’s fame. That’s the best you can do to get attention. You should be proclaimed “Pacman hater of the year!” Stop the “If” statements, you can’t even be a writer. How dare you say If you were a fighter…
Ha ha ha ha. You write funny stuff, I like you.
SHUT THE FAT OFF!!!!!ENSANE WRITER
this has to be the stupid article i read all year. pac man for ‘fighter of the year’ and perez for ‘worst writer of the year’.
If you were a fighter? lol your not even a decent writer you clown faced oil tanker of a bowler hat
Sir,
What happen to Cotto will beat Pacquiao to a pulp? You Sir are a disgrace to all journalists, you should write for Hugo Chavez you MUPPET!
All bias no facts or conviction.
Thanks you.
This peeerez has no shame, thick face, etcc..low blow. After writing bashes against Pacquiao, he has still the courage to continue. He constantly bash Pac since last year with delahoya till cotto.
His constant bash was that Cotto would whack pack like littered car parts. Now, he said Pac cherry picked cotto?
Comeon get a life! better than this garbage article.
give it up already Manuela…arent u getting tired of being “THE LOSER” all the time…lol!
its official, i have made a trophy (in Wales, UK), and im gonna post it to you perez, you are the worst writer ever, Amir Khan, being protected given an easier fight than any with Kotelnik, my lord, and all of a sudden cotto was weight drained? do you even watch these fights or know the boxing weights or have ever felt how it feels to fight 3-7lbs under what you normally fight at? you are terrible and shouldnt be allowed to write on this very good site. the only thing i can say is that you annoy people so much, look how many comments you have had, even about non-boxing related issues. numptee!!!
An the best writer award goes to ………….Senior Manuel Perez.
You want to give fighter of the year to Khan? Do you mean Amir Khan? Really!
I don’t think you have any clue just how hand picked Khan’s opponents have been. The biggest name Barrera was over the hill and away from home looking to make some money before retirement and got stopped by head butt.
Khan is fast and rangy but he can’t take a dig and never could. He’s great with guys who can’t punch. He looks ever better in the gym with bags that don’t hit back.
the only reason perez hates me is because he secretly loves me, he told me he likes to watch my fights naked touching himself. he especially likes it when i bang my gloves together.
The real reason I hate Pacquiao.
One day many years ago, a Filipino man with a mustache and a goatee, broke the door of my house, knocked out my mother’s husband, and raped my mother. 9 months later I was born. The real reason I hate Manny Pacquiao is…..Manny Pacquiao is my father!!!!
-Manual Perez
over seventy responses and not one of them positive mr perez. Maybe its time to reflect and consider that your chosen hobbie isnt one your very good at, at all. leave the boxing analysis to the fans and the grown ups and give knitting a go eh fella.
i think perez should get writer of the year award!your place or mine lover!
I think Khan probely deserves young fighter of the year, No question with Khan coming back off a defeat to presscott and then deafting Barrera with ease and the schooling kotelink who has made hard gruelling fights with madina, witter and many others and to top the year off he will probaly knock out salita, however pacquiao is making history knocking out ricky hatton who was consider the best light welterweight in the world and then beating the 2nd best weterweight in the world miguel cotto , pacquiao is an all time great
haha wrong prediction. you are a total LOSER!
go home and s%ck your own d*ck!
Im sorry guys, I am going to quit writing because I have no credibility..Maybe Ill hang myself tomorrow…
eat you own word man:-)
you8 said cotto is his prime in you recent article ,now what?ha ha ha no credibility whatsoever, press should be credible …
im gonna hunt you down perez and sing kareoke till you learn to love me xx
lol…good stuff…keep it up!
omg, somone respects me and thinks im great, i think im gonna cry!
Cotto and Hatton wins mean nothing but wins over Barrera who was 36 and Kotlnik who was well nobody do??
Perez is totally full of s**t !!!!!!!
Perez, I was the only one who accepted your apparant sincer appolagy for being a w@nker. I did say though that alot of your appolagy depended on what you wrote in the future. And this is it? Pacmans sparring partner who has won a boring 12 round decision over in Khans own words the worst title holder. you are a nob
warika kusataiman me hika ka att tulo punta ka erya doun kumantot para mamatay ka na putnng ina mo sira ulo ka unggoy harikato bakli buto mo haik! it means you are good writer but sometimes be fair enough to all the boxers keep up the good work!
manuela,ich ficke dein weich,eng arsch,du bist ein dumm mutterficker.du hast keine ahnung und super schwul.LECK mich!!!
LOL! Its so pathetic that his fighters got man handled by this little guy. Morales, Barerra, Solis, Diaz, De La Hoya couldn’t beat a small guy. Very pathetic.
This writer is an idiot. He has no more excuses so he reverts to insults. So sad…I think he should go to Manny’s home and say it to his face and see if he fairs.
Don’t worry, Marquez will win the urine taste awards.
The fact that DLH was weight drained proves nothing. The Great boxer wins the fights he’s suppose to win. Not only did he win, he dominated. Think about it this way. Juan Manuel Marquez was the #2 P4P at the time. Would he have been able to beat DLH, let alone make him quit? Not a chance…
hahahah this guy called you out on the first reply..

I thought you picked cotto to cleary win this fight?? all of the sudden he’s washed out uh?? youre a pathetic journalist!!
——
Simple as that, that discredits everything you say. You are not credible at all. This website should remove you.
You know what, I believe this writer is right … that is if we live in the bizarro universe were he probably belongs
Manuel Perez, go to Floyd Mayweather and dance with him …….and the two of you are the champions of the salsa 2009…..
Khan is a worthy choice and will hopefully win the award sometime in the future. But Pacquiao has just been phenomenal this year. People, don’t bash Khan if you don’t like Perez, he will be a great fighter soon.
to SMG
you don’t know anything about boxing and its business. If FMJ really wants to fight Pacquiao he would agree to a 50-50 split. He is only after the PPV not the fight with Pacman. He Knows that he will get a big cut on the income of the fight.
hey people. Manuel perez is a Pacman fan. can’t you see it? open up an article an simply disagreed to it? hahaha
try to notice pictures of Manny in each article that he makes. doesn’t he choose those photos whom Manny has a decent angle to be that photogenic type of a boxer. hahaha!
Manuel Perez is an admirer of Manny Pacquiao!
stop betting against pacman and win for a change
Did you eat all your words in the OCT. 23, 2009 prediction about Pacquiao and Cotto fight?
Nice article Mr. Oscar dela Hoya aka Manuel Perez… looser!
Hahahahah… The clown strikes back!!!I really love your joke!!
you manuel perez,low life,you should be ashamed of yourself again
you can’t handle the truth PACMAN is the Greatest Boxer
GOD BLESS MANNY PACQUIAO……………………………..
Also why is Manny been consider the number 1 welter. I understand he beat Cotto who beat Mosley. But Mosley beat Margarito who happen to beat Cotto. Plus Berto been a champ for a long time also. Whoever wins in the Mosley vs Berto is the Number 1 WW.
Manny offered FMJ 70/30 sounds like Manny doesn’t want to fight FMJ with that stupid offer. Freddie said 50/50 gets the fight done?? Sounds like they are scared. Even Fatton got 52/48
cotto had the belt he was champ he beat mosley , y fight mosley? if he did n won ud say he shoulda fought cotto mosely to old. he couldnt fight mayweather because mayweather wouldn wait 1day. ur a sad #@$ perez . u didnt know anything dnt say u did , u said manny would b so smashed he couldn sing an wil b carrierd away on stretcher, u got problems man, i actully dnt thing anyone is as fv(ked up as u , u jus doit to get readers comming back.
Manuel Perez is bluffing when he says he gets money for all the people that visit his articles. My friend who also writes for this site, Jason Kim, hardly gets ANYTHING. Deep down, you guys all know this writer is upset when he sees people talking smack about him. This Manuel Perez guy is a pathetic writer.
Cotto was weight drained? LOLOLOL You fail. Keep writing these failure articles. It’s amusing how bitter people can be these days.
You know you’re bitter and you know you’re mad when you see what people have to say about you. There’s no denying.
Manuel, amir khan had a good year where he managed to turn his fortunes around but fighter of year? he would be lucky to make it in the top ten for that list and i am a khan Fan. Khan will definately be the ultimate fighter in 2010 with a few good names to his C.V but 2009 goes to the Pacman, an absolute monster. Carl froch? had a good year although i think he is rubbish fighter. David haye had a very good year as well.
who cares for your vote?? lol
one word for this article: LAUGHABLE
i only read first few lines and realized how stupid this writer really is
I just don’t understand how you can hate someone so much without considering that a fighter might be decent enough to be called good. I don’t like Floyd Mayweather because he’s an arrogant narcissist. But I’m not I’m not going to write a bunch of hate columns about him, because I admit…he’s good. You dedicate all your writing to hating one boxer. You’re a hatemonger. You accomplish nothing and most of the readers are sick of you.
who the heck are these writers on this site??? they’re pretty wrong all the time when it comes to predictions….
if amir khan is the fighter of the year, then manuela perez is the writer of the year! sick fools.
Hahaha Manuel, you sound so bitter. So which favourite boxer of yours did Manny beat up that made you hate him so much?
I feel sorry for you, must suck to not be able to enjoy boxing as much as we all do.
I think this guy is abnormal. There’s really something with his brain. There’s somthing wrong with this guy big time.
Manuela for your information Cotto beat Mosley. How could Mosley be better than Cotto?
You need to go to psychiatric hospital for an evaluation to save yourself. You need to that’s a friendly advise.
manuela pakantot
Khan said himself Pacquiao probably will retire before he will reach his level. Khan was insprired Pacquiao and he knew he can even hurt Pacquiao if they fight.
amir khan?? you got to be kidding??? hands down pacquiao,, most impressive of 2009…
Your articles craic me up. Haha.
Das rayt! Pakyaw wil bi da payter op da yir. No dawt abawt dat. Meyweder is a sisi, a big istingking pusi.
Onli idyuts wud nat pik Pakyaw as da payter op da yir.
ok you have some points on pac man but “queer khan”
Welcome back. Where have you been? I thought you took your word and retired from writing. I thought, there you go, the guy has something to be proud of. Boy, am I ever wrong on this one. It’s Mr. Manuel Perez we are talking about here after all. What can I say, welcome back.
IDIOT Journalist he does not know about boxing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is telling the truth , look at his big nose.
SORE LOSER. PLAIN SIMPLE. =) ITS OK GO CRY TO UR FAT MOMMA.
manuel, you deserve to be cursed and thrown up in hell. you don’t no the word”palabra de honor” if i were you, i’m going to get a rope and tie yourself in a pear tree. after all, christmas is just in the corner.
Manuel I thought you would quit writing if Manny lost to Cotto, not a man of oyur word hey, this is a great tactic to get hits on your site though I give you that. But as writer you really should quit.
manuela,
pacquiao doesn’t need your vote. there are enough people he’s impressed to get the award. i still don’t understand how you can be so sure about a pacquiao loss against cotto and not him credit. needless to say, you are not fan of pacqiao. however, why must you devote all your time writing about the Fighter of The Year? you do know that there’s quite a few fights going on this weekend, don’t you?
i can’t wait to talk smack about you or liam santiago when you are up for writer of the year… oh… nevermind, that will never happen because you’ll be stuck writing about pacquiao on this website your entire career!
Amir Khan a real warrior. What a joke.
Perez, are you forgetting you predicted Pacman to be ko’d by Cotto with ease?? You said Pac will be battered and bruised with his teeth knock out.
Never did you say Cotto was past it or weight drained infact you said that Pac will not be facing another weight drained opponent in Cotto!!
You also said you would quit if Cotto loses and yet here you are making up lame excuses!
How can you not give him credit for the wins this year when you predicted him to lose both of them.
Can you not face the facts that you got it wrong? Its ok, we dont always get it right but you are seriously making yourself look stupid.
You, Liam and Gilford really need to wake up man!
None of you have a clue and dont even have the decency to stand by what you say.
Amir Khan? Obviously, the writer wants to get hits and make himself “popular” by deliberately sounding like an idiot. I think he’s trying too hard.
What the hell? Isn’t this the guy who said he’ll stop writing articles if tha pacman beats miguel cotto? Be a man of your word fatty and stop writing stupid thing like this!!
Dude let it go let the hate go…..Pacquiao is the best thing to happen to boxing. You are so biased……admit it the best fighter one last Sat admit it you punk
screw this guy, hes a lonely pathetic virgin. manny has no way cherry picked his opponents whilst khan has, thi sguy deserves to die
Manuel Perez back again with more pathetic Pacquiao hating, after hiding in his cupboard nearly a week after his laughable “Cotto will humiliate Pacquiao – trust me, Pacquiao is rubbish” articles that he wrote for months before the fight.
And instead of admitting like a decent person how wrong he was, and that Pacquiao was devestating against one of the best Welterweights around, he’s now claiming Cotto was weight drained. How pathetic. If it was an entire division, then maybe, but 1 pound? Don’t make me laugh. Cotto has been weighing in at around 146 for the past few years, 1 pound the night before a fight is like 5 minutes on the treadmill for him prior to weighing in. So it’s just an utterly pathetic excuse.
Amir Khan? ROFL.
Anyway, it’s clear that Perez is tolerated by boxingnews24 because his flaming of Pacquiao probably brings more hits to the site.
this dude is on crack , so funny his mum must have dropped him on his head when was a little boy
MANUEL PEREZ get a life
you are disgrace.
i love your mum
this is really funny before the fight you said pacman will be carried off of the stretcher against cotto. now cotto is weight drained! you really enjoy being ridiculed don’t you?!!
your mum tasted so good last night perez. but tell her was her self properly next time. she stunk of crab
yes, khan fighter of the year, just edged pac man to it
are you the perez guy from the pacquiao cotto 24/7 . the big fat one
I can’t lie.. Cotto vs Clottey was in June and his fight against Pacquiao was anounced in the beginning of August which is when Cotto started training…. Matter of fact if you look at this yr alone… Cotto vs Jennings in feb, Cotto vs Clottey in June and then Cotto vs Pacquiao in Nov… Since Jennings, Cotto has had about 1 month-1month and a half to rest in between fights… However it should also be noted, Cotto is a grown man and accepted and agreed to these fights on his own accord.
Thank God you are not voting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought you picked cotto to cleary win this fight?? all of the sudden he’s washed out uh?? youre a pathetic journalist!!
