Why Khan would stop Pacquiao
By Jason Hunton: Amir Khan is the man to stop Manny Pacquiao. Why you may ask? The answer is glaringly obvious when you take all factors into account.

Pacquiao’s win over Cotto is blown out of Proportion
By Klaas Mabetlela: It looks like we are all caught in our own excitement or disappointment to blow Manny Pacquiao’s win out of proportion.

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.

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather: Will Manny get his ear’s boxed off?
By Dave Lahr: Manny Pacquiao won’t be facing a weight drained fighter if the bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. is made nor will Pacquiao be fighting an opponent that had the living daylights beaten out of him in a recent fight like Miguel Cotto did in his bout with tough Mexican brawler Antonio Margarito last year.

Five Arguments Why You Should Bet on Pacquiao – Boxing
By Derrick P. Villanueva: 1.) Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is Stronger than Floyd “Money” Mayweather – In his recent fight with Cotto, he turned the proud Puerto Rican’s face into raw hamburger. The only other time I’ve seen him look that bad is when he got pummeled with Antonio “Hands of Plaster” Margarito.

By Saad Farooqi: Brutal fights. If there is anything that defines Cotto’s career for the past two years it’s that. From Antonio Margarito, to Joshua Clottey to Manny Pacquiao, it was 12 rounds of blood and swelling for the Puerto Rican fighter. And he took the brunt in all three of them.
