What how Miguel Cotto dominate the ring of boxing
Miguel Cotto will defenitly defeat Manny Pacquiao because Manny never faught a figther with such power and he is scarred he wants Miguel Cotto at 143 and the figth is at 145, Cotto can win but a great chance of losing. Miguel Cotto is been doing the hardest training and getting better and improved version of powerful Tito Trinidad. Cotto is smarter in the ring and outside of it. Surely Cotto will not have a good night against Manny Pacquiao. However who did Pacquiao recently Knock Out? Ricky Hatton who as we know has a weak guard and no blocking or movement ability during their fight. You can't even compare them. Know which side are you? Cotto or Pacquiao?
Pacquiao-Cotto Contract on Hold While Bob Arum is on Vacation
There seems to be a news blackout with regards to the signing of the fight contract between Pacquiao and Cotto as Bob Arum is currently vacationing in Europe. The camp of Pacquiao is suddenly talking of a Pacquiao-Mosley fight.
The Pacquiao-Cotto boxing match will remain uncertain until Top Rank’s honcho Bob Arum returns from a European vacation.
For now, it’s all speculation. No confirmation of any fight detail is expected until after Arum comes back any day next week.
Before traveling to the US for a photo shoot with Kobe Bryant and Maria Sharapova, Manny Pacquiao said in a TV News report that he is only 80% sure the Pacquiao-Cotto fight will happen.
The pound-for pond king returned to the Philippines from a photo session with the equally famous sports celebrities without seeing Bob Arum, hence no decision on the fight contract was made during the week.
It seems that news reporters where Arum is vacationing somewhere in Europe are prevented from getting a short statement from the popular boxing promoter with a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign posted on the door of his hotel suite.
In news reports yesterday, Shane Mosley’s name is again being floated as Pacquiao’s opponent this year as the Cotto camp could not decide on the weight Pacquiao wants for the fight.
Philstar.com reports:
Manny Pacquiao’s lawyer, Franklin Gacal, yesterday said if Miguel Cotto insists on the catch weight of 145 lb, the Filipino boxing icon might be forced to consider Mosley as his next opponent.
“We will not agree to 145 pounds. And if Cotto insists, we’ll go for Mosley,” said Gacal from Davao City.
Still the date and venue for the fight have not yet been finalized. “Regarding the date, maybe we can give in to what Bob Arum wants although Manny really wants to fight in October. But there’s the baseball thing so maybe we can agree on November,” said Gacal.
On the weight issue, “Manny will be giving up too much if he agrees to fight Cotto at 145. We want him at 143 and if he insists otherwise, then we’ll look at Mosley if Mosley is still available,” said the Filipino lawyer.

Pacquiao-Cotto Match Hangs on Catch weight and Purse Issues

Pacquiao-Cotto Match Hangs on Catch weight and Purse Issues
The Pacquiao-Cotto boxing match has yet to be finalized with the catch weight and purse issues still hanging in the air. Cotto insists that he will not go below 145 while Pacquiao says he is fighting Cotto at 143.
The much talked about boxing match between Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines and Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico hangs on two issues- catch weight and fight purse.
Yesterday Cotto said he is sticking to his decision to fight the pound-for-pound king at 145, no more, no less.
Pacquiao, on the other hand wants it at 143, although his trainer, Freddie Roach appears to be agreeable to 144. But Cotto remain steadfast in his decision which was reached earlier in consultation with his nutritionist.
Boxing fans believe that the two popular boxers will eventually meet halfway at 144. This will not matter most with Pacquiao but it will be a big issue for Cotto and his nutritionist.
The Pacquiao-Cotto match will most likely take place in Las Vegas, Nevada possibly on November 14, 2009. The fight contract though has not been signed and sealed.
Miguel Cotto is fresh from his ‘not so impressive’ victory over Joshua Clottey of Ghana last month at the Madison Square Garden in New York, while Manny Pacquiao won over Ricky Hatton by KO last May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Cotto insists on 145 lbs vs Pacquiao
Miguel Cotto remains steadfast in his position that before a mega buck fight with Manny Pacquiao gets signed, sealed, and delivered for Nov 14, it has to be at a catch weight of 145 lbs.
“Mi peticion es la misma, no cambia (My petition is the same, no change),” Cotto told Hiram Alberto Torraca of the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia over the weekend when asked whether his standpoint has changed.
Pacquiao had said last week that while he believes that the fight is 80 percent done, the revenue sharing and the catch weight have yet to be agreed upon by the two camps, stressing that he doesn’t only deserve the lion’s share of the money but is unconstrained in demanding a catch weight of 143 lbs owing to his stature.
Still, a ranking official of Top Rank believes these are all part of the normal things that happen in the buildup to a super fight featuring Pacquiao, boxing No. 1 attraction, and Cotto, the Puerto Rican star who holds the World Boxing Organization welterweight crown.

Pacquiao Did To Cotto What He Did To Hatton

So, now that we can pretty much go ahead and look forward to this most intriguing of fights, we can also start to think about who will win - "Pac-Man" or "Junito.."
It seems strange, but only a few months ago fight experts were pretty much agreed that guys like Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton would be much too big for Pacquiao, and that the former 106-pounder was nuts taking on natural 140 and 147-pounders. But, as we know, Manny destroyed both "The Golden Boy" and "The Hitman," the latter especially. The question I'd like to ask now is, can Pacquiao possibly do a Hatton-type number on the formidable Cotto?
If the talked of weight of 145-pounds is the final poundage that the fight goes ahead at, Cotto, though he will have to push himself that much harder in training camp, shouldn't be overly drained or weakened come fight time. As such, "Pac-Man" might just be facing his most physically strong opponent yet, and therefore the very notion of him KO'ing the Puerto Rican the way he did Hatton will be seen as a preposterous one in the eyes of some fans. But no-one of note predicted Pacquiao icing tough guy Hatton as quickly as he did either.
Style-wise, Cotto - a natural lefty who fights mainly out of an orthodox stance but also has a tendency to switch during battle - could give the Filipino southpaw a real handful also. Strong with both hands and the possessor of a fine boxing brain, it's hardly likely Cotto will approach the fight in the same reckless, march-right-in, hands-held-low way Hatton did. And it must be admitted that Hatton's foolish tactics - all the more surprising as they were after all the pre-fight talk we were given about Floyd Mayweather Senior making Hatton a defensive-minded boxer - helped Pacquiao look as devastating as he did. But could the 30-year-old claimant of the pound-for-pound title KO Cotto just as ruthlessly anyway?
Cotto, who appeared somewhat easy to hit last time out against Joshua Clottey, is no defensive wizard and after a number of tough fights he isn't getting any younger (yes, he's two years younger than Manny, who also is not getting any younger, but Pacquiao looks the fresher fighter overall). And though the demons from the shocking stoppage loss to Antonio Margarito have almost certainly been banished, we still don't know how much of a physical price Cotto paid as a result of the hammering he took in July 2008.
If Pacquiao were to ice Cotto in less than 2 or 3-rounds the way he did Hatton, you can bet your money some people out there will still refuse to give "Pac-Man" the credit he deserves by saying Cotto WAS past his best and that he was in the ring with Pacquiao at the right time - just as they said, after May 2nd, that Hatton was ready to be taken. But those fans who are not afraid to give credit where it's due - should Pacquiao actually KO Cotto in stunning fashion - will be calling the Filipino one of the greatest of all-time; if they aren't doing so already.
It would be a mighty shock if Pacquiao KO'd Cotto fast. But maybe we should be used to "Pac-Man" sending us shockwaves by now!
