Cotto-Pacquiao

By Kwame Cinquez: I place a scenario in front of you, quite a ridiculous one I’m sure you would agree. Imagine Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal (No1 + 2 in the WTP Rankings) refusing to face an opponent in a ranked tournament, instead playing a more lucrative exhibition match against an opponent of clearly inferior [...]

By Manuel Perez: Manny Pacquiao will be trying to make boxing history on November 14th by winning seven world titles in seven different weight divisions when he steps in the ring with WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Manuel Perez: I see Manny Pacquiao getting the living daylights beaten out of him on November 14th by WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in their fight at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas. Pacquiao may or may not have gone soft on us – we’ll find that out next month on November 14th – [...]

By Manuel Perez: Well, it looks like Manny Pacquiao’s loyal boxing fans spoke too soon when they started opening their yaps about Pacquiao dominating his sparring partners.

By Manuel Perez: It seems as if Manny Pacquiao is having some problems with his sparring in the early portion of his training camp in Baguio City, in the Philippines.

However, the opinion doesn’t have much weight as far as I’m concerned [...]

By Eric Thomas: With Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach complaining in the past weeks about not being able to speak to Pacquiao on the phone and being blocked from contacting him, you have to wonder whether the relationship will be the same once Roach and Pacquiao begin working together again.

By Manuel Perez: If Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KO’s) wants to beat Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KO’s) on November 14th, he’s going to have to make a point to rough Pacquiao up early and often and make it tough for the smaller fighter. Pacquiao will come in at pretty much the same weight as Cotto [...]

By Amar J Khan: I have been reading so many articles on how Miguel Cotto is going to destroy Manny Pacquiao, the number one ranked pound for pound king. What people seem to make referencing to is the heart and spirit of Cotto. Sorry, but that alone won’t win the fight and I don’t see [...]

By Jason Lee: On November 14, 2009, Miguel Cotto will be entering the ring against the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao in for what most people are calling fight of the year.

By Tom Stokes: Manny Pacquiao (49-3, 37 KO’s) has come under fire a lot lately but one reason the critics are on his back again, is the fact that he is making Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KO’s) fight at a catch weight limit of 145 pounds for their upcoming super fight, with many boxing critics [...]

By Manuel Perez: When I see all the boxing writers and fans that are picking Manny Pacquiao to beat Miguel Cotto on November 14th, I think these people have lost their minds entirely. Didn’t any of them go through the fight history of Pacquiao, and see whom he’s fought, and saw how vulnerable he was [...]

By Will Cruz: Anyone who knows even a little about boxing or has followed Miguel Cotto’s career will tell you that one of his strongest qualities as a fighter is his ability to adjust in the fight given what his opponent might bring that night. That is what earned him hard fought victories again the [...]

By Eric Thomas: Things don’t appear to be going well in the Pacquiao camp. Trainer Freddie Roach wants to train Manny Pacquiao in Mexico, where there would be less distractions from Pacquiao’s adoring boxing fans. However, the word is that Pacquiao wants to train in Baguio, Philippines instead, preferring it because it’s safer than Mexico [...]

By David Berry: If you’ve been scanning Manny Pacquiao headlines as of late, you’re likely convinced that the pound-for-pound champ is on a train track that’s scheduled to derail on November 14 against Miguel Cotto. A lack of focus, a lack of commitment to training, and a rift with his trainer and confidante, Freddie Roach, [...]

By Eric Thomas: It looks as if Freddie Roach’s prayers have been answered because his fighter Manny Pacquiao emerged today saying that he’ll be starting training this week for his November 14th bout against Miguel Cotto.

By Manuel Perez: So much for winning the old fashioned way by beating up and outsmarting your opponent.

By Manuel Perez: Freddie Roach isn’t happy with the way things are going lately with Manny Pacquiao, who has decided to train in the Philippines rather than some place else. “I’m not pleased with him [Pacquiao] training in the Philippines, there are too many distractions, but that’s what he wants to my understanding, and I [...]

By Manuel Perez: Not only will Manny Pacquiao have an advantage with the catch weight, location of the fight and the bigger pay for his November 14th bout against World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, but appears that fight will be taking place in a large 20 foot ring at the MGM Grand, in [...]

By Dave Lahr: Although Miguel Cotto is still winning his fights, he didn’t exactly impress in his last fight against Joshua Clottey in June. There are people who feel that Cotto hasn’t been the same since being beaten by Antonio Margarito last year. To be sure, Cotto didn’t look like his old self in defeating [...]

By David Berry: Less than three months separate salivating fight fans from the November 14 catch weight showdown in Las Vegas between WBO Welterweight Champion, Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs), and pound-for-pound kingpin, Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs).

By Manuel Perez: WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KO’s) has a big surprise for Manny Pacquiao come November 14th. While almost everyone is underestimating Cotto and seeing Pacquiao as the winner of this fight, I think this is going to be an easy fight for Cotto. He’s going to put Pacquiao in his [...]

By Will Cruz: They call him “Fearless” for a reason. Recent reports from Cotto’s training camp in Puerto Rico indicate that he is more focused, determined than ever before. If that isn’t alarming enough for the Pacquiao camp, it should be. Pacquiao is considered the top P4P fighter in the world at the moment.

By Dave Lahr: It’s only been a little over a year since WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KO’s) suffered a ferocious beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito, but the damage that was inflicted upon Cotto appears to have changed him as a fighter. You could see it in Cotto’s recent 12-round split [...]

By Manuel Perez: It’s weird how people accidentally expose their true beliefs by the slip of the tongue. I noticed that Freddie Roach, the trainer for Manny Pacquiao, has been saying that Cotto has slipped somewhat as a fighter and that Roach is going to take advantage of that by having Pacquiao capitalize on Cotto’s [...]
