Pac-Man no game to Miguel Cotto

2009-11-12T07:23:00.001-08:00

LAS VEGAS - Bob Arum thinks Miguel Cotto understands how the world is looking at him, but he does not.

Yesterday, during a press conference called to hype Saturday night’s welterweight title fight between Cotto and the best fighter in the world, Manny Pacquiao, the promoter of both men stood at a podium a few feet from Cotto and tried to explain the situation.

“Psychologically, in this fight, he is not the star,” Arum said of Cotto, the once defeated WBO welterweight champion he has promoted since he first turned professional nine years ago. “He knows it and I know it. But Miguel Cotto, as Miguel will attest, is the biggest obstacle in Manny’s path.”

Cotto sat stone silent as Arum spoke, but his face spoke for him. It was like a dark cloud had passed over a summer picnic.

In Cotto’s mind he is more than an obstacle for any man he faces. More than a steppingstone between Pacquiao and the biggest fight in boxing, a match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. that is already being talked about. More than they think he is.

Certainly, he knows it is Manny Pacquiao’s picture on the cover of the Asia edition of Time magazine not his. It is Pacquiao who is being written about on the front page of the Sunday New York Times [NYT], not him. It is Pacquiao’s world until Saturday night. Then, if they have forgotten who he is, he believes he will remind them. Harshly.

“What they say and what they do does not concern me,” Cotto said. “They know what they have in front of him. He better be focused on what they will have in front of him in Miguel Cotto.”

Although he has lost only once in 35 fights and is 14-1 in world title bouts with 11 knockouts, Cotto knows how much of the boxing world looks at him. They see him the way his promoter did yesterday. Like he’s yesterday’s news.

Pacquiao is the heavy favorite and his trainer, Freddie Roach, is predicting a knockout, the only matter in question in his mind is whether it will be sooner or later. Cotto remains stoic through all this, but neither blind nor deaf. When WBC executive Mauricio Sulaiman stood holding a diamond-studded trophy belt that will be presented to the winner even though this is a fight for the WBO welterweight title, Cotto watched with dead eyes as Sulaiman first handed the belt to Pacquiao, who put it in front of Roach as if there is no question that is its final resting place.

Eventually the belt was handed to Cotto, but he touches it as if it were radioactive and then handed it back to Sulaiman. He smiled, but it was the mirthless smile of a fighter who does not agree that he is not still the star.

“It doesn’t matter if the people want me to win or not,” Cotto said later. “It is just a fight and I have worked to win it so we will see.”

He is asked if he feels better and stronger than before his last fight, a tough one against Joshua Clottey in which he won the WBO title, but in which he seemed tentative and tired in the late rounds. With blood streaming from a bad cut over his left eye, he was often retreating, yet found a way to win.

But it was the kind of win that convinced his critics that he has not yet recovered from the terrible beating he took from Antonio Margarito a year ago, a beating that left him not only bruised and bloodied, but down on one knee without having been hit in the 11th round, forcing the fight to be stopped.

In fairness, he’d been hit plenty by then and so there are doubts now whether he will ever recover from the damage of that night. He looked tentative in his first fight back and not much different at times against Clottey and now he is facing the new star of boxing and understands what is at stake.

“Forget about Freddie Roach,” Cotto said. “He can only train Manny the best he can. He may say and think Manny will knock me out, but at the end of the day, it is just Manny and Miguel Cotto in the ring. It’s really not important to me what the boxing world wants to see.

“Once I beat Manny Pacquiao they can continue their plans and do what they want but I am not going home without winning this fight.”

Freddie Roach: Miguel Cotto not the same since knockout

2009-11-12T07:17:00.001-08:00

As he has done in the past, Freddie Roach offered a $1,000 award to any of Manny Pacquiao’s (49-3-2, 37 KO) latest sparring partners who could knock down the Filipino during preparations for his WBO welterweight title fight with Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KO) this Saturday.

During Wednesday’s pre-fight press conference, Roach said that even after 141 rounds of sparring in Pacquiao’s recent camp, his money is safe.

“I told each sparring partner if they could knock him down, they’d get a $1,000 bonus from me — the money is still in my pocket,” Roach said. “He did get shook once though, he did. (Shawn) Porter hurt him one time, and Manny came back on the next combination and dropped him.”

The incentive offered by Roach might surprise some, considering the trainer’s beliefs on knockouts.

Roach has said many times that Cotto hasn’t been the same since taking the worst beating of his career in an 11th-round TKO loss to Antonio Margarito on July 26, 2008.

That loss, the only blemish on Cotto’s professional record, came under scrutiny when plaster was found in Margarito’s gloves in his next fight against Shane Mosley in January.

According to Roach, whether Margarito had cheated in his fight with Cotto is irrelevant — the impact on Cotto’s mentality is the same.

“It doesn’t matter if Margarito did it in that fight or not, a fighter is still not the same following a knockout like that,” Roach said.

When asked what it takes to get over a devastating knockout, Roach simply answered, “Time.”

If there is an example that contradicts Roach’s theory, it can be found in his own fighter.

Pacquiao has been knocked out twice in his professional career. Filipino boxer Rustico Torrecampo knocked him out in the third round in 1996 and Medgoen Singsurat did it again in the third round in a WBC flyweight title fight in 1999.

Pacquiao responded both times by stringing together double-digit win streaks, although he did admit that both were initially difficult to overcome.

“After the (Singsurat) fight I was thinking, ‘Oh, I’m going to stop boxing because maybe boxing doesn’t like me,’” Pacquiao said. “But then I started thinking to use them to focus harder for my next fights.”

By the time Pacquiao met Roach for the first time in 2001, he was two years removed from the second knockout and made a promise to his new trainer when the issue came up.

“He showed me both knockouts,” Roach said. “The first time he got knocked out, one of his countrymen hit him with a good shot and he was out. The second time he didn’t make weight and had lost his WBC title on the scale. He fought anyway and got knocked out by a body shot.

“I asked him, ‘Do these still bother you?’ He said, ‘Nah, they are no big deal. It will never happen again.’”

The final verdict on whether Cotto has lost something from the Margarito fight might reveal itself by the end of Saturday night’s event inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Some agree with Roach that the 29-year-old fighter looked different in a 12-round split decision with Joshua Clottey at Madison Square Garden in June.

It was the first split decision ever in Cotto’s career and just the third time in his last 14 wins he hadn’t stopped his opponent.

Others believe Cotto, who says the fact he won the Clottey fight is enough to prove he’s put the knockdown behind him.

“The Margarito fight is out of my mind, out of everything about me,” Cotto said. “If it was still in the way, I wouldn’t have made the comeback I already made this year.”

MANNY PACQUIAO, NOT GOOD ENOUGH

2009-11-10T06:04:00.000-08:00

By Greg R. Penilla, M.D.
PhilBoxing.com
Tue, 10 Nov 2009

A new dawn, a new era is about to transpire in the history of the Sweet Science of boxing. By this time next week, Manny Pacquaio would have already emerged as the only boxer in the planet who would become a seven time world champion in seven weight classes.

Multitude of great and Hall of Fame fighters, the likes of Ali, Robinson, Leonard, Armstrong, Chavez, Duran, Sanchez, etc., have gone before him, but the Filipino warrior will go down in the annals of boxing history as the first, and maybe the last, to achieve this extraordinary feat. Interestingly though, a 154 pounds title is within the realm of possibility.

Unfortunately, despite Pacquiao’s unparalleled accomplishments on top of the ring this decade, detractors abound. In spite of his hallowed place in boxing history, some writers, so-called boxing experts and jealous boxers do not give him all the recognition he rightfully deserves.

This coming Saturday, November 14, Pacquaio is going against Miguel Cotto, a very formidable and elite fighter who is in the prime of his career. He has trained hard and he probably represents the most difficult fight so far for Manny Pacquaio. Although the Las Vegas odds seem to overwhelmingly favor Pacquaio to win, this fight will not be a walk in the park for the Philippines’ “National Fist”. This fight has the makings of the Fight of the Year.

However, win or lose, Manny Pacquiao is between a rock and a hard place.

If he loses against Miguel Cotto, his detractors would surely say, “I told you so, he is not as good as advertised”. It is understandable and perfectly logical for some pundits to pick Cotto as the winner. There is nothing unreasonable about that. What is comical is when analysts disparage Pacquiao.

Oscar De La Hoya is favoring Cotto not because he thinks Cotto is a great fighter but he thinks that Pacquiao does not hit hard enough.

He was quoted as saying, “Pacquiao doesn’t hit hard enough to knock anyone out in the welterweight division. I’m basing that on my fight against Pacquiao. I could’ve stood there and put my face in front of him and he couldn’t have hurt me”.

One would wonder if De La Hoya looked at the mirror at the hospital where he was taken by an ambulance after the fight. Obviously, Pacquiao would have sent De La Hoya to dreamland had he come out in the ninth round. But instead of protecting his boxing legacy and his dignity, De la Hoya opted to quit on his stool knowing that another minute with the pound for pound king would inevitably end up with him sprawled on the canvas.

Oscar De La Hoya would have gotten more respect from boxing purists had he decided to fight to the very end. Ironically, he is now practically saying Pacquiao did not hurt him? Please explain!

When, not if, Pacquiao wins this coming Saturday, it will not be surprising for skeptics to find excuses for Cotto’s loss.

Cotto is over trained
Cotto is weight drained
Cotto is forever damaged by his loss to Margarito
Cotto is distracted
Cotto did not fight the right fight
Cotto has inexperienced corner men

Regardless, excuses will still be made, while Cotto himself has declared that he has completely recovered physically and mentally from the Margarito fight and he is focused, confident, well trained and in the best shape of his life.

Sadly, the doubters will not say, Pacquiao won because he is simply the best boxer of this era.

Manny Pacquiao cannot get any break from some who are hell bent to discredit any of his spectacular wins against all the elite fighters he has demolished.

To the skeptics, he will never be good enough.

When Floyd Jr made the face of Juan Manuel Marquez as a target practice, Mayweather’s supporters all but declared that he is the greatest of all time. There is no doubt that he did win a one sided fight over an old (36), slow, underweight and most of all, a damaged fighter from the two wars he had with Pacquiao.

One really wonders what is more spectacular, a 12 round decision by a significantly bigger, faster and younger fighter who connected a very high per cent of his “power shots” but leaving his opponent standing and relatively unmarked or a smaller fighter who has demolished and reconfigured the faces of his much larger and stronger opponents in breathtaking fashion within a few rounds?

Regrettably, doubters continue to nit pick Pacquiao’s wins.

When Pacquiao, with a mere two week notice, stunned the boxing world in 2001 with his upset win via a 6th round knock out of the world champion Lebwada, the win was called a fluke.

His win against the legendary Marco Antonio Barrera was diminished by the skeptics, pointing out that the future Hall of Famer had been to too many brutal boxing wars and too old (only 29) that Pacquiao’s win was not totally unexpected.

Pacquiao’s inability to finish Juan Manuel Marquez after dropping him three times in their first fight that eventually ended in a draw, notwithstanding an error in scoring that could have made Pacquiao the outright winner on points, convinced the critics that Pacquiao had no boxing skills and a one dimensional fighter.

There was almost a collective sense of excitement among the cynics when Pacquiao lost by unanimous decision to Erik Morales and were eager to point out that Manny was a flash in the pan.

Less than spectacular wins against B fighters like Velasquez, Larios, Solis and a fading Barrera (still only 32) whose strategy was simply to survive, provided the seeds for hesitation for some to declare Pacquiao as a great fighter.

Despite obliterating the Mexican great, Erik Morales in their second and third classic fights, it was unbelievable that some writers still found reasons to tarnish Pacquiao’s astonishing wins. Just like Barrera, Morales was labeled old (only 30) and broken down.

The much awaited second Pacquiao-Marquez fight won by Pacquiao by the slimmest of margin convinced the doubting Thomases that Pacquiao did not deserve the win. It is well known who hit the canvas.

With elite opposition drying up in the lower weight classes, Pacquiao, clearly possessing improved boxing skills embarked on fighting bigger men with spectacular wins. The one dimensional fighter has bloomed into a two armed fighting machine, at the same time remaining fast and powerful.

But to his usual skeptics, Diaz, although a World Champion was a nobody. De La Hoya, although the overwhelming favorite and Oscar’s left hook to Pacquiao’s brain would make him do the crack head dance, was too old (35) and weight drained. Hatton, who was proclaimed by the legendary trainer Angelo Dundee, as possessing a powerful left hook that would bring Pacquiao down but was suddenly labeled to be too slow and over rated after Manny sent him lights out in the second round.

If Pacquaio – Mayweather Fight ever happens and Pacquiao wins, I can almost predict the excuse why Manny wins. He is on steroids.

What more does Pacquiao need to do, to gain the respect of everyone?

Sadly, to some, he will never be good enough.

Pacquiao Still Getting Blasted by Sparring Partners

2009-11-04T03:51:00.000-08:00

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. In an article today from Abs-Cbs News, Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, said this: “He [Pacquiao] took some real hard shots,” during the sparring sessions with Shawn Porter and Urbano Antillon.

Roach didn’t mention which sparring partner did the most damage, but it was probably the bigger, stronger Porter. Boy, it doesn’t sound too good for Pacquiao. He’s having problems with his defense again. I’d hate to think what would be happening if this Miguel Cotto in their throwing heat at Pacquiao instead of just some sparring partners.

Roach would probably need a giant spatula to peel Pacquiao off the canvas every time that Cotto would flatten him. It looks like Roach is bringing in former lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo to spar with Pacquiao next week. That’s an odd choice of a sparring partner if I ever heard one. Castillo is 35 now, and hasn’t done much in the past four years since losing his WBC lightweight title to Diego Corrales in 2005.

For kicks, Roach is offering $1000 bucks to any one of the sparring partners that can knock Pacquiao to the canvas. I’d like to get a piece of that action, but Roach would have to quit being a tightwad and loosen his purse a lot more and make it $5000 to put Pacquiao on the canvas. What’s with the $1000 thing? That hardly buys you anything nowadays. Roach needs to sweeten the pot and make a lot more for the partners, so they’ll come and try to take Pacquiao’s head off. Antillon and Porter are good fighters. They more incentive than that to knock Pacquiao on his backside.

So, I’m really worried about Pacquiao taking these big shots from his sparring partners. I thought he was so great that he didn’t get hit. What’s happening with the man? Is it age that is starting to show its ugly head or is Pacquiao just not as good as some people think he is? I don’t know what to think about the Filipino. It doesn’t look good right now.

Here Pacquiao is facing his best opponent by far since his ‘victory” over Juan Manuel Marquez last year. Going from fight against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton to a bout against Cotto on November 14th is going to be huge leap up in completion. That’s like going from addition to calculus in one semester without the intermediate courses like Algebra and trig in between. Pacquiao is going to be floundering against Cotto and end up looking hopelessly lost and not sure what to do.

Miguel Angel Cotto Will Destroy The Filipino’s Dreams

2009-11-04T03:48:00.000-08:00

During the last few months I have read a great number of notes and articles on different news media outlets about this fight and in almost all of them there is one constant, the prevalent opinion that Cotto does not have an opportunity to conquer the tagalo Manny Pacquiao. This is something that has caught my attention, but as if that wasn’t enough was has interested me more is the fact that they already seem to be preparing his next bout as if he had already beaten Cotto. It is a fact that money rules boxing, specially mega fights, but we cannot overlook the qualities of a boxer like Miguel Ángel Cotto who has faced other elite boxers in their peak and has beaten and lost to fighter such as Sugar Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito and Joshua Clottey.

Pacquiao vs. Cotto: Manny Doesn’t Look Focused

2009-11-04T03:46:00.000-08:00

By Manuel Perez: After watching HBO’s Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 episode 2 last Saturday night, I couldn’t help but notice how disengaged Manny Pacquiao appeared to be while preparing for his November 14th fight with World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. Not only did Pacquiao look distracted as he one person after another vying for his attention, but Pacquiao also was getting pummeled in his sparring session with Shawn Porter.

This is really bad. I was hoping that Cotto would be facing a motivated and well trained Pacquiao, but the way Manny looks now, he’s going to get mowed down if he goes in the ring looking that. Pacquiao looks like he’s going to the gallows as the days draw closer to his epic fight with Cotto. I can’t remember seeing a more demotivated fighter in all my days. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, tried to give Pacquiao a pep talk after an especially bad sparring session but Pacquiao wasn’t meeting his eyes and didn’t seem to be attentive to what Roach was saying to him.
Roach let Pacquiao walk away without making sure that he understood what he had been telling him. I couldn’t believe it as I watched the whole scenario. Roach needed to make sure that Pacquiao was following what he was saying. I would have asked Pacquiao, “Do you understand me?” Roach is a nice guy and all, but he needs to be more assertive with Pacquiao because he’s not firm enough with the Filipino star.

I would have gotten in Pacquiao’s face and jammed him up for the way that he sparred with Porter. He looked really bad. Not only that, I’d have Pacquiao toeing the line. There wouldn’t be any basketball games or singing on television programs. God that was some awful singing if you ask me. Sounded like a wounded hound dog. The HBO 24/7 camera men could have done well to leave that bit out of the telecast.

Frankly, the entire episode 2 was painfully boring to watch, worse than any other 24/7 I’ve seen before. That’s saying a lot, because I’ve seen some really bad 24/7 episodes in the past couple of years. It seems like the whole bunch of them were sleep walking through the entire episode. What was especially sickening was the different players trying to curry favor with Pacquiao, as if he were some kind of king. I could never do that myself.

I’d give Pacquiao the straight talk and tell him to quit with the singing and make him ignore the boxing fans that are all over him trying to meet him. I’d have him with blinders on out in the some god forsaken place putting him through a torturous training camp that he’d never forget. Pacquiao might hate me afterwards, but at least he’d win the fight against Cotto. But the way that Pacquiao’s training camp appears to be going, I don’t give him a chance in hell of winning.

Pacquiao looks spaced out, distracted by something and not focused on Cotto. I don’t see any real training going on. Roach needs to have Pacquiao wired for this fight, but instead Pacquiao looks like a zombie, distracted and not tuned in. That’s too bad because it looks like Pacquiao is going to get a beating of his life against Cotto. I feel sorry for Pacquiao.

Pacquiao’s weakness exposed

2009-10-21T04:04:00.001-07:00

Joe Chavez, who once worked for Manny Pacquiao as a cutman, said he holds the key to the victory of Miguel Cotto over the Filipino pound-for-pound king when they clash on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas.

While Chavez has a different role inside Team Cotto with Joe Santiago as head trainer, the seasoned cornerman has immersed himself so much in Pacquiao’s corner that he claims that he knows some of Pacquiao’s innermost secrets.

“When attacked, he (Pacquiao) doesn’t know what to do,” Chavez told the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia over the weekend.

Before the Argentine-born Miguel Diaz was recruited by Team Pacquiao, Chavez had been a familiar fixture in the corner manned by Freddie Roach, having aided Pacquiao in his bloody brawl with Juan Manuel Marquez and a few of other fights.

“I have other work here (in Team Cotto), but if they ask me, I can help and do my comments and I know Pacquiao very well,” said Chavez.

Aside from Team Cotto’s observation that Pacquiao doesn’t do well when he is the one being pursued, Chavez believes that Cotto’s natural advantage in size will eventually prove to be Pacquiao’s downfall.

“Cotto is (like) a bull. Pacquiao is fast, but Cotto has more power in the punch and is strong. This will be the difference. Pacquiao has never fought as strong as Cotto," said Chavez.

Pacquiao vs. Cotto Fight Preview

2009-10-01T07:54:00.001-07:00

Manny Pacquiao’s opponent for his November fight was unknown for quite some time. Finally it appeared that Shane Mosley would be the man to step into the ring with him. However, Team Pacquiao and Team Cotto were able to finalize the deal, made all the easier since both men are promoted by Bob Arum and Top Rank Promotions.

Pacquiao will have the clear speed advantage in this bout. He showed the world what his speed could do even at the higher weight classes against the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton.

Miguel Cotto on the other hand will come into the ring as the naturally larger man, having fought at junior welterweight and welterweight for his entire career. He also has superior boxing skills, while Pacquiao is the more dynamic offensive fighter. Team Pacquiao is also hoping that forcing Cotto to cut weight down to 145 pounds will leave him weaker, and Pacquiao more able to capitalize on that vulnerability.

Which man will have the edge come fight night? Some people wonder how much Miguel Cotto has left in the tank after his beat down from Margarito, however, he has rebounded and gutted out a tough win against Joshua Clottey. And isn’t there ever going to be a limit on Pacquiao, on the size and caliber of the fighters he can continue taking out so impressively?

We’ll have to wait for fight night to see the winner of this exciting match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. The winner will have the world at his fingertips, and may end up facing Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez or Floyd Mayweather.

Cotto, Pacquiao to meet Nov. 14

2009-10-01T07:53:00.001-07:00

A deal has been completed for boxing's biggest fight of the fall: a showdown between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto.

Pacquiao and Cotto, two of boxing's most popular and crowd-pleasing fighters, will meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Nov. 14 (HBO PPV), Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Monday.

"It's done," said Arum, who was back at work in his Las Vegas office after a vacation in London and Italy and attending a wedding in Israel. "While I was away I reached a verbal agreement with each side. Pacquiao committed to the fight this weekend and Cotto the week before while I was in Israel. I was on the phone all the time trying to get this done."

Arum said his attorney, Michael Heitner, was preparing the documents for signatures.

"But everything is agreed or I wouldn't say what I am saying," Arum said. "The weight, the percentages, the guarantees -- it's all agreed to."

Although the percentage split was not disclosed, Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) will receive more than 50 percent of the money. That was never a serious sticking point, however. The key holdup had been the contract weight.

Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs), a titleholder at 147 pounds, had agreed to drop below the welterweight limit for the fight. Pacquiao, the 140-pound junior welterweight champion, wanted him to come all the way down to 143 pounds. Cotto refused. Ultimately, they agreed on a 145-pound maximum weight.

Pacquiao, 30, the national hero of the Philippines, scored a sensational knockout of Ricky Hatton to win the junior welterweight title on May 2 at the MGM Grand. The victory gave Pacquiao a world championship in a record-tying sixth weight division.

Cotto, 28, of Puerto Rico, is coming off a bloody split decision victory in a title defense against Joshua Clottey on June 13 at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Given their penchant for all-action brawls, Arum said he had high expectations that Cotto and Pacquiao would produce another memorable fight.

"I'm really excited because it's a real fight. These are two real warriors," Arum said. "Whichever way this fight goes, I think it's going to be a classic because of the way these guys fight. There will be a lot of engagement. They're great fighters. Cotto and Pacquiao are gutty guys. If you want blood and action and excitement, this is the fight."

Arum said tickets would go on sale in late August followed by a three-city press tour.

"I want to get it done the week after Labor Day so I don't interfere with the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez fight," he said. "I don't want [Golden Boy Promotions] saying I jumped them."

Arum said the tentative tour schedule would be Sept. 9 in Los Angeles, Sept. 10 in New York and Sept. 12 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

"Pacquiao and Cotto are both very pumped up for the fight," he said.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto Official For November 14

2009-10-01T07:21:00.001-07:00

One of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year has become official, as the promoter for Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto announced today that the two will fight on November 14 in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao-Cotto joins Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez as one of two fights this fall that have boxing fans salivating, and we can be sure that the promoters and the fighters (especially Mayweather) will engage in some trash talk about which of the bouts is truly the year's biggest fight.

Bob Arum, who promotes both Pacquiao and Cotto, made the official statement:

"Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto have reached an agreement to fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, November 14," said Arum. "The fight will be seen live on HBO Pay-Per-View. Top Rank is working on a major media tour to start right after Labor Day. Further details will be announced as we get closer to kicking off the tour."

Pacquiao vs. Cotto is a great fight. Pacquiao is the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, but Cotto, the WBO welterweight champion, is a real threat to him.

Now let's hope Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao and Cotto can all agree that the two winners of these two fights will meet each other in the ring. That would be the superfight every boxing fan would crave in 2010.

Miguel Cotto feeling good

2009-10-01T07:11:00.000-07:00

WHILE MANNY PACQUIAO continues to rock Baguio City with his mere presence as he prepares for his last fight of the year, his opponent, Miguel Cotto, is quietly getting himself ready for the bout scheduled Nov. 14 in Las Vegas.

“Just getting back from the gym, everything excellent,” Cotto posted in his Twitter page, even as his team has started getting busy trying to come up with a game plan against the hard-punching Pacquiao.

“[I’m] relaxed and feeling good,” added Cotto, who has been posting regular updates on his Twitter page.

“Up until today we’ve held several meetings to examine what Manny can bring to the fight,” Cotto trainer Joe James told PrimeraHora.com. “We are watching many Pacquiao fights. We also saw his two fights where he was defeated, but we are still watching more. Although he has dominated, there is always something we can capitalize on. We do not rule out any fight.”

Cotto had earlier said he was aware of the Filipino ring icon’s vaunted punching power, remarking during a recent press tour that “the punch he gave Ricky Hatton, if he hits with this kind of punch, he can throw Mike Tyson to the canvas.”

“But I’m not Ricky Hatton,” Cotto added.

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach, however, said the reigning pound-for-pound king will overwhelm Cotto with speed.

Roach predicted a knockout victory for his ward.

“I picked him to win by decision, but until I started working with him to this camp, the way he’s punching, his speed, we will knock this guy out,” Roach said.

“We will bust him up a little bit. Basically we’re going to have a fast start and we’re not going to give [Cotto] any momentum.”

Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 knockouts) will battle Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) over 12-rounds for the Puerto Rican’s World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown on Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Both combatants agreed to fight at a catch weight of 145 lb.

A win by Pacquiao will make him the first boxer to win world crowns in seven different weight divisions, including linear titles.

Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather Sr. continues to harbor the belief that Pacquiao is no match to his undefeated son, Floyd Jr., who is coming off a 12-round decision over Juan Manuel Marquez.

“Pacquiao had [Marquez] down three times in one round and hurt bad and couldn’t finish him,” Mayweather told FightHype.com. “Not only could he not finish him, he got his ears boxed off after that, so what do you think my son would do to him?”

“Pretty Boy” Floyd and the Pacman are headed on a megabuck collision course next year.

Mayweather may also be headed for a pre-Pacquiao showdown against Shane Mosley, who called out the former pound-for-pound king right on the ring after the Marquez duel.
