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 was over the hill or overrated because Miguel wasn’t and he showed the heart of a lion and a solid chin all night long.
Pacquiao vs. Cotto
Cotto the Brave, Pacquiao the Brilliant
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 can be the cruelest of sports and many had questioned the heart of Cotto after the Margarito surrender.

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 was planning to go one last round with the mighty Manny Pacquiao. I will not shy away from my prediction which called for a late fight stoppage of Pacman but I have to be honest, seeing Pacquiao in the dressing room all smiles and with that look of a cat that just ate the canary sent a chill of concern down my spine.

Pacquiao’s weight demands defeat Cotto
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 a lollypop, he had zero energy and the Pacquiao camp had planned for this, in my opinion. Pacquiao did not beat Miguel Cotto last night. He beat a ghost of Miguel Cotto.
Pacquiao Stops Cotto: the Mayweather Duck Clock Begins – News
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 to 135 pounds.

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 judging and, more importantly, the referee’s actions.
