If Pacquiao gets knocked out by Cotto, what then?
November 11th, 2009
By Manuel Perez: For the past month I’ve been overrun with boxing fans of Manny Pacquiao saying how great he is 24/7 and how badly he’s going to beat Miguel Cotto, and now we’re at the moment of truth for the Filipino fighter. If he doesn’t produce the goods and ends up taking a terrible beating, there’s going to be a lot of unhappy people. But what I really want then is to see Pacquiao’s fans to admit that he’s not as good as they think he is and that he finally took on too much by fighting Miguel Cotto.
It’s an easy decision because you just look at Cotto’s fights in the past three years against quality fighters like Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito and Joshua Clottey to see the superior talent and experience from Cotto. Pacquiao had problems with Juan Manuel Marquez last year and won the fight by a controversial 12 round split decision.
After that, Pacquiao took things easy with fights against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton. You can’t compare those fighters with Marquez, who is still in his prime, or Clottey, Mosley and Margarito at this point. Okay, so what we is a fighter that is coming into this fight against a prime Cotto and not having faced the best competition in his last two fights.
I think Pacquiao is basically walking into his last stand. Cotto is going to surround him and blast him apart with power shots. People are saying that Pacquiao will bum rush Cotto and try to take him out in the 1st round. I sure hope so. If Pacquiao does that, he’s going to be routed quick like. Pacquiao will be marching into his own demise by going at the teeth of Cotto’s offense.
Nobody other than Margarito has gone right at Cotto and survived for long. I don’t believe that Pacquiao will be foolish enough to attack Cotto like this. He will get a whipping by Cotto and that in turn will be an attention getter for Pacquiao. He’ll turn tail and run rather than stick around and take a beating. Okay, so Pacquiao will start to feel the heat, and will probably back off.
That’s when Cotto will pursue Pacquiao and take the fight to him, punishing him with left hooks to the body. The body punches will be Pacquiao’s undoing. He can take a head shot okay, but he can be beaten with body attacks. Alright, to Cotto hammers Pacquiao’s body and weakens him over a four or five round period. By the 6th, Pacquiao will be ready to quit from the sustained punishment. At that point Roach will step in and mercifully stop the bout to save Pacquiao.
Pacquiao can then turn around and fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. and try to pick up the broken pieces of his career. If fans want to see that fight, so be it. Cotto will move on and be fine without either of them.

“I am not cotto or pac fan, I am just a boxing fan that understand that the better man the better fighter should be with no doubt Miguel Cotto. I dont see how can pac beat Cotto, There is no way unless a miracle happend that he can beat him. ”
NOW YOU KNOW how he beat me. Help me sell pinchos…
im a retard… im sorry… please forgive me!
hi manuel?? you might want to write something about me??? cant wait!
Everything you said was true, the other way around.
Hey, What happend with your magic ball? No comment?
Let’s Reverese the situation…
When Cotto gets knocked out by Pacquaio, will Manuela Perez admit Cotto was overrated?
Can’t wait for the excuses……
HAHA HAIRYBALLZ ALL OVER YOUR FACE
What happened Manuel?
Where is Manuel Perez now?
Fight over. Some of you have to feel a little stupid, especially hairyballz. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
pacman will be really hurt after this match, no singing will be done, his fans will start comiting suicide to avoid shutting the f*** up and admitting the only thing they had going for them was just cherrypicking and fighting old people to just look like a good fighter…
But they still will have that retarded superhero movie he is making and in time they will start thinking that stuff is real too, the good thing is that in that realm he will indefinitely be victorius.
Yeah!.
Hey Manuel, bet me $300 bucks Im with pacman to see what you are saying.
hehehe…
haha, of course, all Perez have to do is predict Pacquiao will lose and wait until that time comes. he already failed predicting a lot of the past fights.
it’s like telling somebody that wearing red shoes everyday will help them find their true love, and without fail the poor man wears the ridiculous red shoes until he does find the girl he was destined to marry as “predicted”. Lulz!
I’m totally agree, that exactly my prediction of this fight
there you go folks…. manuels article
Hope you had a fine day
america’s satan
Ok may the best man win. but if pacman loses them pacman fan need to admit he a loser. lol hi haters
overrated goes to…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………li’l floyd
I think this fight will be like the barera and prince naseem fight.cotto will beat pacman and make him look foolish.with his body work and jabs.cotto maybe to much for pacman.
if pacman win by tko would you aceept Mr. Perez if i will say that cotto is overated? you know mr. perez i respect both fighter they are all good but never put them down.Mr. Perez respect the fighter so will be respected too.
everything points to cotto-130 lbs vs welter. experience against better, heavier opponents. but theres the freddie factor. did he approve of the fight from the get-go. has he dissected cotto enough? will pac be able to follow the plan?
hey manuel perez, i know what a sore loser feels when his favorites were beatn like pulps.Ü
will you take back all your words against pacman if cotto will lose? or you will make another excuse if pacman beats another favorite of yours?Ü
hahaha, thats ok man, truth hurts.Ü
we will see the result in nov14. be ready for your excuses because a filipino will win that day. Ü
I still don’t understand why so many people comment here.
We all know Perez is a Pacfan who likes to sit back and laugh at everyones comments.
Great article by the way Manny! Very comedic!
Perez-Why would a loss to Cotto expose a fighter as over-rated ? You talk like Cotto is a bum and to be defeated by him is something to be ashamed of. Cotto is a damn good fighter and a loss to him doesn’t mean that a fighter was over-rated. If Cotto is beaten by MP does that mean that he was over-rated? Perez you stink up the site.
Regardless of what happens in this fight, Pacquiao already has hall of fame credentials. He has world titles in 6 divisions! So, how can he be overrated? Any impartial observer can see that.
Thank goodness the two fighters in this great match are not childish twits like you.
I haven’t been on this website for ages due to the ridiculous Perez/Santiago Pacman bashing that goes on daily….. I had a look today but, what a surprise, their still at it. Back over to EastSideBoxing for me then!
Yeah. if pacman win will you retire from writing?
WTF Manuela!?….you dare call yourself an ‘expert’ yet you want Pac-man’s fans to admit he’s overrated just to validate your claim?…that only proves you’re not so sure of all the garbage u have written against Pac-man…also shows how petty u are and how much comments from readers must have been getting under your skin…lol!
im a proud filipino and im willing to bet half my fortune on manny on this fight.just wait and see for your self!
BTW I do think Cotto will win this fight bt late stoppageif not earlier . pacquiao is a better fighter all around . but hes too small and Cotto will walk through him . Like the Hopkins vs Trinidad fight
This guy cant be this obsessed with Pacquiao . Hes writing shock journalism . Getting people angry at his opinons to get ratings. has Perez written any articles other than Pacquiao hate mail?
he could quit now and be legend status. the fact that he is willing to go to another weight division is testemant that he is a great and fights anyone he can. Win or lose he is already a legend and come saturday when he wins another title maybe you should retire from writing articles
IF Pac loses, it won’t take away from his ALREADY hall of fame career. So no, he’s not over rated regardless.
moron!!!!!do you really know anything about boxing? go find a real job!!!!
why dont you jump in the ring and see if hes overrated dick head
I agree with Dandy. And so was his 3rd win against Morales.
I agree with Dandy, ODLH and Hatton wins are way overrated. And so was his 3rd win over Morales.
pacman last two wins was overrated….
hahaha, perez is very good at getting attention. maybe he was not given enough attention by his father and mother during his younger days and he knows that a lot of people will react if he writes something about pacquiao being based by cotto…. hahaha, wait until after the fight, then for sure you will have more attention, telling you how st**id you are… hahahahahahaha
it depends on how he gets KOed.
if he goes down like hatton did, there will certainly be speculations.
Manuel perez again? what does this guy have against pac? did he bang his woman or something
Nice imagination, Senor Peerezzz! You did it again as usual.
We also want to read your post-fight story on Nov.15. Keep up the bashing, still 2 days to go.
no way cotto’s gonna beat manny..manny is too much for miguel…
What if pacquaio knock out cotto, will you admit that his really a great boxer and do your promise together with Liam Santiago not to write any sports news?..come on..Im pretty sure that if pacman wins, u’ll die soon for famine..
start looking for your new job..
right after the fight and if pacman win we will condemn you if not perform your promise..
Be a man for your word..
No one here will take the bet. I just can’t seem to find anyone.
“Pacquiao’s fans to admit that he’s not as good as they think he is and that he finally took on too much by fighting Miguel Cotto” or should i say… “COTTO’s fans to admit that he’s not as good as they think he is and that he finally took on too much by fighting MANNY PACQUIAO”
You must really want to lose 2 grand.no way pacman beats cotto.
I’m looking for anyone who want’s to bet for the pacquiao vs. cotto on Nov. 14th, anyone interested pls. meet me at MGM casino sports center. I’m willing to straight bet at least $2,000 for Pacquiao. It’s odds is too much at the casino. Any takers out there meet me at the MGM sports center no. 1.702.647.7271 Name: Erwin.
manuel perez is the greatest.
the real question is..
will MANUEL PEREZ admit he’s a dumbas$ when Pacman beats Cotto?
to all you guys who love boxing thank u very much!
you know,
in chess, everyone plays but nobody is an expert..
in my sport of boxing though,
can you believe everyone is an expert? BUT NOBODY PLAYS??? i just let my fists do the talking when the bell rings. mabuhay!!!!
November the 14th… WITNESS IMMORTALITY!!!
oops i made my mouth talk.haha
you guys are all stupid for posting ang glorifying this stupid writer
Mr. Perez you muppet.
When Pacuiao beats Cotto please say “Congratulations Pacquiao” and then say “I’m humbly sorry” to all the boxing fans you’ve offended over the past few weeks.
Thank you, you MUPPET!
when pacquiao never KOed, will Manuel Perez stop posing as an expert?
Mosley faster than Pacquiao?? better watch the tapes again man(Alex Boomer). Miguel Cotto’s abilities are just above average, but not great as many people says. Clottey was able to land 222 punches and he pressed not even 50% to what Margarito did(who landed 187 punches), Manny have enough stamina and quickness to stop this guy(something that Cotto doesn’t have) and power is not all in this business. Manny will win the same way he beat the other 2 guys, hit and run away remember that Cotto doesn’t have the engines to pressure the whole night or to box the whole night, so Manny will win anyway.
You are an idiot and a very stupid man… You foster hatred towards filipinos.. You should be banned here for your imflamatory retorics and bigotry towards the filipino people…Boxing news should not tolerate your racism towards filipino fans of manny pacquaio.
CRY and HATE all you want(overrated or what not). PACMAN still making all the money!!!
I guess it’s hard for you to accept that BOXING is all about money…
I Have cotto winning but by no means does this make manny overrated. He does have bad habits and commits a lot of errors but his speed bales him out of getting in trouble when he does. But this time I think he bit off to much to chew. If you want to talok about overrated fighters you may mention Hatton, Kessler and Khan.
perez, do you enjoy reading negative comments? if you do, you need help and give up writing coz your no good.nasty, rude and verbal abuse are the most comments your getting, wow! your one thick…
i have a question….everytime pacquioa wins,do yo go to a cheap,dark and forlorn bar to drink away your hate for this man?…it must really hurt everytime this man wins,huh?
i pity you so much,perez…wow!what a joke and a loser you are.all that hate in your heart…like rust gnawing away at your soul..and does this man you hate so much,this pacquiao,does he even know you exist?…oh my,don’t you have a life?…i really pity you…you poor,poor man…but at least you make people laugh with your stupid views…and making me smile too,coz’,i may not know you,but like most people here,have a fair idea of your intelligence level..or lack of it…be my guest,delete this message….peace from italia.
prepare to eat your words few days to do that.
Amen to you RJR
Are you a psychic? Only a director and a script writer can picture whats going to happen in a movie. I wonder how you became a writer. Define to me overated? Manny beat Oscar & Hatton convincingly. As for Marquez, I agree split decision and Manny deserves it. If your a smart boxer, will you still slug it out with the other fighter if you know he can knock you out but you can beat him by racking up points. You need to get some lecturing from IBRAR the other writer who wrote the best article about this fight.
Mr. Perez , I really like the way you make it look like you know everything and nobody else does. You keep saying that Pacquiao pick an easy fight with De la Hoya and Hatton. What is he doing with Cotto? It can’t be the money, cause he will for sure get with some other boxer. I’m sure that Roach will not jeoperdise his boxers career for an upcoming big money fight with Mayweather. Roach does know that Pacquiao has a very good chance of beating Cotto that is why they picked him. So please don’t write something that makes it look like you are the only one who knows about boxing and all this boxing experts are dumb.
I think we all know that if Pacquiao beats Cotto, Perez will be back to “did he duck Mosley?” and all that sh*t. Perez you’re a stupid c*nt.
THAT IS THE MOST OUTRAGOUS ARTICLE I HAVE EVER READ FROM THE MEXICAN PEREZ LOL.NOT ONLY DO U SOUND DUMB BUT EVERYONE WHO READ THIS AND AGREE WIT U R EVEN MORE DUMB.I CANT WAIT TO READ UR ARTICLES AFTER PACQUIAO WINS,I WANNA SEE WAT EXCUSES U BRING UP FOR COTTO,EVEN THOUGH HES A GREAT FIGHTER AND DOESN’T NEED ONE.I HOPE U RETIRE AFTER THIS FIGHT FOR THE SAKE OF BOXING AND ITS FANS.BIG WILLY PREDICTS THE PACMAN BY LATE ROUND STOPPAGE OR POSSIBLE KO.
not true speed can win fights listen to what I’m saying if manny boxes cotto he cam win on points if you dont understand that then you need to learn more about fighting… I used to box in the same gym as freddie roach back in the 80s so I have a little understanding in how to win a fight if pac-man uses his speed hits and moves and dances all night he could win.. thats all i”m saying!
ok manuel perez, u side a good debate. and as a pac man fan i shall take back every bad thing ive said about your writing if cotto wins, but if cotto losses you must do the same
Thank god! Someone that finally agrees! Manny will get smashed to pieces. His speed won’t matter, Cotto has dealt with a quicker and more skilled fighter in Moseley!
Listen all the bottom line is simple you have two great boxers-fighters if pac-man dances and uses his speed and doesnt try to fight cotto but box him he will win on points alone just like mayweather does all the time he runs and throws punches however if manny tries to stand toe to toe with cotto he will lose…. it really isnt that hard to figure out….
I think cott will put a lot of pressure on manny take him out i 9 round pacman cant take cott punch he be jumping around get knock out
Sorry jarcex and martin even if this guy does talk sh*t and not know what he’s talking about i do think cotto is going rip manny’s body and take his chin off him in the 7th or 8th with hard left hook straight rights. Because the way to beat Pacquiao is with straight right leads followed by hard hooks and sustained pressure.
Many of you attack this guys Manuel Perez but in reality this man know what he is talking about, at least on this fight. I am not cotto or pac fan, I am just a boxing fan that understand that the better man the better fighter should be with no doubt Miguel Cotto. I dont see how can pac beat Cotto, There is no way unless a miracle happend that he can beat him. Cotto too superior than him, too talented for him. Lets see what happend, If im wrong all i have to do is give credit to pacquiao but i dont see how can i be wrong, no way.
Or the better question is, if Pacquiao wins by beating the sh*t out of Cotto, will you retract and swallow your previous pronouncements about Pacquiao’s abilities/skills and admit that Pacquiao is truly an elite fighter/boxer? Fair is fair.
…and will you be eating humble pie if Pacquiao wins?
It’s a tough call an should be a good fight – Pacquiao has the speed advantage and Cotto has the strength advantage, but I back Pacquiao to come through and win.
I think Roach will have the right plan in place for Pacquiao to be successful.
And if Cotto loses, will you shut the f**k up?
