By Manuel Perez: Although this is a decent fight, I’m not grateful for next month’s November 14th bout between Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao.

It could be both reasons.

Cotto-Pacquiao with perspective
By Sam Singh: There’s no doubt Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter, but he is being seriously overrated from his wins over Oscar De La Hoya & Ricky Hatton. Somehow, I don’t think Stevie Forbes would’ve been as hyped up as Pacquiao if he had beaten De La Hoya in their fight.
