By Amar J Khan: Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, perhaps this decade’s most skillful fighters in their own right. We have Mayweather, who is furious the public have forgotten his sensational victory over a prime Oscar De La Hoya whilst going up to 154. Mayweather believes Pacquiao received great credit for his victories over Oscar and Hatton, whilst he did not. Mayweather is nearing the end of his career. I would say his last fight will be against Manny Pacquiao and that fight will take place after Mayweather defeats Juan Manuel Marquez.

Mayweather/Pacquiao: The fight the fans deserve
By Eoin Cooke: 2009 hasn’t been an enjoyable year for fight fans. Save for the fireworks of Marquez/Diaz, there has been little to excite the boxing public this year. Set aside that fight, and possibly Clottey/Cotto and 2009 has been mostly a tale of poor cards and cancellations. In February, HBO charged almost $50 for fans to see Miguel Cotto and Kelly Pavlik crush overmatched opponents.

Only One Can Stop Pacquiao and It’s Not 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.

Cotto: A Man on a Mission
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. I’ve read so many articles and a lot of people are saying that Cotto has no chance, that he is shot, he’s damaged goods. I feel this is not the case. Cotto has been training for nearly a month and he is taking this serious, very serious.

The Catch-Weight Debate
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 and fans alike criticising Pacquiao for not fighting at the 147 pound welterweight limit.
