Pacquiao-Cotto

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. The great thing about Pacquiao’s slaughter of Miguel Cotto is that is has rejuvenated boxing in general and brought back some lost masses to the fistic arena. Boxing has not really [...]

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.

By Joel Nepomuceno: In light of Saturday night’s total annihilation of Miguel Cotto, Pacquiao laid claim to being the only boxer to have seven titles in seven divisions. The past few days as the high of his dominance comes to a calm, skeptics naturally question if Manny Pacquiao really is a once in a [...]

By Liam Santiago: Floyd Mayweather Snr has hinted again that he believes that World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao might be using steroids. Speaking to the New York Post, Mayweather stated that given the circumstances he would not like his son to fight Pacquiao. He said, ”I have my own personal reasons. I don’t [...]

By Saad Farooqi: When Roberto Duran infamously exclaimed “no mas” in his second bout with Leonard, all the courage and pride the young street fighter from Panama embodied shattered. A fighter who once returned to his home country in a national parade and a chance to stay at the presidential house returned to jeers. In [...]

By Eughine Dunnion: With the manner in which Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KO’s) went about the job of beating tough as teak Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO) in a 12th round TKO last Saturday night, maybe now, at long last Pacman will get the credit he deserves. As a boxing fan of 22 [...]

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 – By Zachary M. Johnson: Even if you are a passionate boxing fan, you are lucky if, once in your life, you see a fight that makes you fall in love with boxing all over again. Three days removed from a record-setting welterweight match-up, my feeling is still the same—we [...]

By Paolo Angelo Natanawan: After the stunning victory against Miguel Angel Cotto, a lot of questions are again starting to pile up but there is only one worth answering. Who’s next for Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (50-3-2), 38 KO’s) Freddie Roach wants what most of the fans, boxing analyst/experts and ordinary people around the world also [...]

By Al Francis: In my second article for this site, published about two months ago, I predicted Miguel Cotto to knock out Filipino star Manny Pacquiao. I felt that despite Pacquiao’s great talent and ferocity, the bigger and stronger Cotto would prove to be a step too far, however I severely miscalculated! Some [...]

By Eric Thomas: Former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) is going to be considering his options and sitting down to think about his future after sustaining a 12th round TKO loss to Manny Pacquiao last Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to news from the [...]

By Glen Anglin: I now think that in terms of career accomplishments, Pacquiao is the best fighter under welterweight in the last 50 years. Yes, that includes Duran. And Whitaker, Pryor, Arguello, Jones, Chavez, Sanchez, Lopez, Nelson, Gomez, or any other you can name; any small man since the 60’s. In terms [...]

By Peter Wells: It’s horrible to think that the two biggest fights in former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto’s career were both defeats. Firstly it was the biggest fight of his career against the welterweight hard man Antonio Margarito, where he was took apart in the second half of the fight with super [...]

By Trevor Weis: During the undercards on Saturday night, Miguel Cotto sat ringside with his family, preparing for the inevitable battle that awaited. Hardening himself, the World Boxing Organization welterweight champion probably didn’t anticipate confessing to the world, “Manny is one of the best fighters of all time.”

by Paoee Natanawan: Saturday November 14, 2009 marked an event in history where Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao solidified his claim as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in world and the first boxer ever to win seven titles in seven different weight divisions. The last record was held by Manny and Oscar De La Hoya with both [...]

By Jorge Lugo: Last night I had the privilege of watching Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao. In what I knew was going to be a classic, I simply found myself going crazy with the anticipation simply because I honestly could not tell who would win. The three boxing fights before the main fight wouldn’t help [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: After disposing of Miguel Cotto last night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquaio has proved he is the pound for pound number one fighter in boxing, he has taken out a prime welterweight champion by a 12th round TKO and now there can be no excuses that his opponent [...]

By Charles Barrett: With bravery above and beyond the call of duty Miguel Cotto some how made it to the 12th rd, only to be stopped 55 sec’s later. In truth it had stopped being competitive from the 6th rd, but even though the battle was lost the warrior refused to concede defeat.
Boxing [...]

By Saad Farooqi: Yesterday, I watched Manny Pacquiao batter Miguel Cotto relentlessly from round 6 onwards. What was mostly an even fight by round 5 became a lopsided beatdown of a once dangerous Puerto Rican boxer. To take nothing away from Pacman, he was sensational in the ring. The last man to batter Cotto like [...]

Photo credit: Naoki Fukuda – By Eric Hernandez: Like the fighters last night there were a few different ways, I could have went with this boxing article. I replayed the fight in my head and I was instantly flooded with the image of a very broken Miguel Cotto sitting in his stool as he [...]

Photo credit: Naoki Fukuda – By Amar Jahangir: 5 hours ago, Manny Pacquiao humiliated the so called warrior Miguel Cotto on Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, stopping Coto in the 12th round. So many people on this site gave me stick when I said The Pacman will easily destroy [...]

Photo credit: Naoki Fukuda – By Liam Santiago: The extra two pounds that Manny Pacquiao demanded Miguel Cotto took off had a huge impact on the result of their bout. Cotto looked so drained. As I watched at the weigh in, I changed my mind as to who I thought would win. Cotto looked like [...]

By Giancarlo Malinconico: I have stated in many previous boxing articles that Manny Pacquiao would stop Miguel Cotto, and I described the blueprint of how it would happen. Many pundits have made excuses about Pacquiao’s last few opponents, but I have written on many occasions that the Pacman was a different fighter since moving up [...]

By Eric Hernandez: watched the weight in and I have to say that both fighters looked in phenomenal shape. Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao was particularly impressive as he reminded me of someone who has had an obvious impact on him the late Bruce Lee. Miguel Cotto while not as ripped also appeared to be [...]

By Liam Santiago: Lets get one thing straight. There are many big money men in America, who are involved in the organization of tonight’s mega fight between Miguel Cotto and Manuel Pacquiao, who want a Pacquiao/Mayweather super fight next year. They do not want Cotto spoiling the party. I just hope none of that affects [...]

By Eric Torres: Hey there fight fans today is the day we have been waiting for quite sometime, its the mega bout between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. This day may turn out to be possibly one of the greatest welterweight clashes over the last few years.

By Dewi Powell: Every once in a while a division is ripe with the highest possible world class talent. In the 1960’s it was the turn of the heavyweights and it gave to boxing its most popular boxer thus far in its history, Muhammad Ali. Other greats of the era were George Foreman, Joe Fraizer [...]

By Liam Fitzgerald: Tomorrow night’s superfight between the widely acclaimed p4p number 1, Manny Pacquiao, and Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto is possibly the most mouth-watering and intriguing encounter of the year. Naturally, Pacquiao is the bookmakers’ favourite but Cotto is also favoured by many pundits and it would be foolish to write him off.

By Jim Dower: Manny Pacquiao will be looking for more than just a victory over World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto this Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao will be seeking out his 7th world title in seven different weight classes. It’s almost an unheard of accomplishment, because for [...]
