By Manuel Perez: On November 14th, Manny Pacquiao will be fighting Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, and in doing so Pacquiao will yet again be cherry-picking the weaker champion to fight. I don’t know, but it seems like Pacquiao often fights the easier fights rather than stepping up and fight the [...]

By Joel Nepomuceno: As I stated in my article before this one, one of the key criticisms of Manny Pacquiao is that he hasn’t fought anyone in their prime, or that his opponents have all been shot or weight drained. Critics continue to argue that Pacquaio is only great because he’s only fought weight [...]

By Manuel Perez: I’m never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of some boxing fans. I’ve never seen such a motley crew of imbeciles in my whole life since I started following the sport. Case in point, the hoopla that is being made about Manny Pacquiao by a number of boxing fans, mostly Filipino, [...]

By Roy Closa: Miguel Cotto is undisputedly a true welterweight while Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is a fast, versatile LWW. This fight is about power against speed. For Cotto, his bigger physique means power, more than anybody else that Pacquiao has fought before. Pacquiao has the hand speed and footwork advantage.

By Manuel Perez: In an interview with elnuevodia, WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto said that he could care less if he has to fight Manny Pacquiao at the 145 pound catch weight that he and his management team want him to fight. Saying “it does not matter if it is at 145 pounds. That was [...]

By Manuel Perez: When it rains it pours. Not only does Manny Pacquiao want the lion’s share of the purse split in the perspective bout with welterweight Miguel Cotto, requesting that he get 65% of the purse split compared to Miguel’s 35%, but he also wants Cotto to come in at a catch weight between [...]

By Joel Nepomuceno: You can’t please everybody”, and “Not everyone is going to like you”, are key words of wisdom that have been imparted to me since childhood. Truer words have never been spoken. Every one has a critic, and every one is not liked by all. These are the realities of [...]

By Steven M. Giangrasso: Both guys have been or are currently rated the #1 P4P boxer in the world today. Both guys have won championships in multiple weight decisions.

By Jason Kim: It’s so sad that the one welterweight that none of the so-called best welterweights in the division like Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather, won’t fight Paul Williams (37-1, 27 KO‘s). Nowadays when you hear Williams’ name mentioned as an opponent for any of those fighters or Manny Pacquiao, people say, [...]

By Giancarlo Malinconico: With the recent rib injury sustained by Mayweather, the door has opened for a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight in November.

By Sean McDaniel: The wise old Roy Jones Jr. came out with some helpful advice for Manny Pacquiao this week, telling him to steer clear of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley according to the Manila Times.

By Steven M. Giangrasso: First off, Let me preface this article by stating that Manny Pacquiao is a phenomenal fighter and deserves the #1 Pound for Pound status he has acquired. However I personally think Cotto is too big a risk without the reward that matches it (AKA Mayweather). Comparing Cotto’s fights with [...]

By Manuel Perez: The more I hear about Manny Pacquiao looking for a bout against Miguel Cotto the more I lose complete respect for Manny. First Pacquiao fights a shot and weight drained Oscar De La Hoya, who had to agree to come in at one of Pacquiao’s catch weight requests, then Pacquiao fights another [...]

By Manuel Perez: I got to say I wasn’t exactly shocked to see Manny Pacquiao’s name being linked for a fight with Miguel Cotto after the Puerto Rican fighters disappointing performance last Saturday night against Joshua Clottey.

By Manuel Perez: After watching how poorly Miguel Cotto has looked in his last three fights, does anyone honestly believe that he has a chance at beating Manny Pacquiao in their November 14th tentatively scheduled bout?

By Manuel Perez: After I recently learned that Manny Pacquiao was to receive the Edward J Neil award from the Boxing Writers Association of America as the “Fighter of the Year” for 2008, I almost went into shock. How in the world did they come up with Pacquiao as the fighter to receive the award? [...]

By Manuel Perez: I’m really starting to wonder when Manny Pacquiao is going to finally decide to hand up the gloves once and for all. I think it’s high time that Pacquiao hangs up the gloves because the direction that his career has been in the past year appears to be downward into a cherry [...]

By Jordan Taylor: Manny Pacquiao is being talked about as the greatest fighter on the planet; and rightly so, maybe even an all time great.
