Pacquiao-Cotto: Let’s Keep It Real
“This is a very important bout. This gives Cotto the chance to rise several notches towards the ranks of superstardom. On Pacquiao’s part, this fight will most certainly eradicate all remaining doubts about his greatness”.

Tungod, Inabanga, Bohol – Come November 14th, the annals of boxing will turn one of the most important pages of its glorious history. Filipino pride and arguably boxing’s most valuable commodity Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) will try to become the first person to win an unprecedented 7th world title in as many weight divisions. Puerto Rico’s very own Miguel Angel “Junito” Cotto (34-1-0, 27 KOs) hopes to prevent that from happening, retain his WBO welterweight title and erase the stigma of his devastating, yet controversial loss to former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Here, we are going to dissect quite a bit and make objective predictions upon how will history unfold at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But before I say my piece, let’s first try to examine what the others had to say about this epic encounter. In spite of his recent masterful ring exploits, beating Oscar De La Hoya to a pulp and almost killing Ricky Hatton, many of Pacquiao’s skeptics still remain, well… skeptic about his chances against Cotto. Citing size and strength difference, as well as the fact that Cotto has been campaigning in the heavier weight class, and thus, already very well accustomed to taking heavier, more powerful punches than those of anyone Pacquiao has ever faced, they believe that Cotto will simply be too much for Pacquiao. A boxing scribe even bragged that “Cotto can take a punch,” but ironically followed it up by saying “he proved that against Margarito.” I’m not sure what he really meant about taking a punch. Does getting knocked out count, too? Perhaps it does, based on his definition.

There might be a size difference, but I have serious doubts that the Pacquiao-Cotto faceoff will end up the way Mayweather-Marquez did. The Pinoy and the Puerto Rican share the same reach and Cotto is just about an inch taller than Pacquiao. Furthermore, contrary to what the cynics believe or would lead us to believe, Pacquiao, for his part, has also been taking punches from much heavier fighters, even natural middleweights at that, especially recently when he started campaigning in the heavier weight divisions. Shouldn’t we consider sparring partners as gauge for Pacquiao’s ability to take a punch as well? Let’s not forget that a boxer logs over 10 times more rounds in sparring than during the actual fight. Need I say more?
Cotto’s defense is great, but come fight night, Pacquiao’s offense could prove to be so much better. Yes, Cotto can take a punch… but can he take large volumes of punches? Incessant droplets of water can break a rock over a period of time. Cotto is no different and Pacquiao’s punches will certainly not be akin to mere droplets of water… they will definitely inflict pain.
Well, we can’t really blame the skeptics for their continued doubts. Pacquiao is simply a freak of nature. He is one in a million… may even be one in a billion. He isn’t ordinary. Therefore, we can’t expect just ordinary things from him. I am, however, neither downplaying Cotto’s chances, nor his abilities. Cotto is a great fighter and he will go into the fight being the younger combatant, turning 29 on the 29th of this month. But unfortunately for him, 16 days after his birthday, Manny Pacquiao will give him a belated birthday present that he and his fans will not like at all. The skeptics, as expected, will once again find excuses, as blood oozes out of Cotto’s deformed and lumpy face. The Pinoy idol will continue to exceed expectations, all the while disappointing and upsetting his critics. Pacquiao wins by TKO in 8!
Oh by the way, I haven’t said anything about speed, have I?
Just for fun, I enjoin my beloved readers to post their own predictions below. Comments are also highly appreciated. You can write them below or send them to reylanloberternos@yahoo.com.ph

cotto will destroy pacquiao and that is coming from a pacquiao fan
Great analysis..!!
Eddie doesn\’t know what he\’s talking about. It\’s the other way around. Pacquiao will knock out Cotto in 9 rounds. Cotto has never faced anyone with the lateral movement/speed as Manny. Cotto better be ready for the fight of his life.
Excitement is growing in me day to day as I read every write up about this upcoming match. Sometimes I’d be skeptical but then I’d remind myself as to why I’ve always rooted for the guy. He is a phenomenon in boxing. And if he says he could beat Cotto, then I believe he could beat Cotto.
YEAH PACKY WILL DESTROY COTTO. IT MAY BE EARLIER THAN 8 ROUNDS…
yes I believe so,cotto will be tko in 9th round…believe me…
Ohhh well, another prediction…against Cotzilla, come the 14th will be another wrong expert to analize the fight in a one way visor, but I respect that , because you persiving or visualize something that is irrevelant to this fight,… and I said expert because the media are fully responsible for the new batch of boxing fan going from bad to worst about knowledge of the basic boxing 101….once again just we have to wait until the 14th to see the so call expert to point out what went wrong, and how they can do better the next time,….that’s if they still have the job.
pacquiao’s speed is too much for cotto. knockout in 3rds.
With all the lychees (linta) hangers on (sabit/amuyong) around Pacquiao, staying late at night & not train very hard because of so many distractions, there is no doubt in my mind Pacquiao will lose to Cotto by KO on the between 3rd & 5th round.
men, i love the way you break things down. Manny is a good fighter but he seems to evolve of being ungrateful – egocentric -selfish baby. Manny does all his dirty art work with the help of his new buddy KONZ..
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Why can’t you understand it. Cotto dismissed el gato for showboating in sparring. That means he’s playing with Cotto and Cotto cannot do much until frustration sets in. On the other hand, Roach did not appreciate Pacquiao showboating to Shawn Porter on the last training day in Manila.Porter was’nt even close to knocking him down. What does that tell you? Chilling to the bones. Don’t you agree?
TO: TITO
i agree with you, just look back at those write ups from writers/losers who were against PACMAN “before” he fights DDD, RH, ODLH…..yup..thats right….they all kiss the canvass….lucky for them, its just 1 fight of incorrect prediction, they still got their job and theyre all still writing i guess….in classified ads section selling stuff
If, at the beginning of the fight, Pacquiao finds out that he can take Cotto’s power punches, it’s game over for Cotto. Manny will unleash his awesome offense with no fear at all. The fight might be over in 5. Blinding speed combined with destructive power will prove to be too much for the Boricua fighter.
Pacman by KO in the 8th round!
COTTO FALLS ON NOV. 14 AND SO AS PUERTO RICO! Bang! down he goes… Cotto couldn\’t make it! Its al over!…..
kaya pala mabilis sumuntok si manny kc dalawa ang tingin nya sa kalaban nya!!!!!!!! ehehehehehehe
kay cotto baka tatlo………..joke
Pacman before 8!
Eddie you are no pacquiao fan. Cotto is too slow, has no trainer, has been getting worse since he lost his hair. Only won the WBO Welterweight fighting a bum who’s not even a champion. Fought a declining Zab Judah. Cuts easily and quits easily!!! In Contrast Pac has never quit. Has fought more elite fighters, champions in the last 10 years!! Nothing but the best competitions. Also has been improving alot that he is totally dominant in his last 3 fights. You think just an average champion will beat Pac. Cotto is worn out & broken down fighter already. Like Freddy Roach said Pac will put so much pressure that Cotto wont recover and will be pummeled,cut and worn down by the 9th round. Pac will cut him up so bad they will stop the fight!!!
tama na mga fans tingnan nalang natin sa laban nila sanov 14 malalaman natin kong sino ang magaling sa kanila
cotto by ko in 7th
All i can is, may the best boxer win! And if i may add, it will be Pacquiao who emerge victorious in this fight! Pacquiao by KO in 3…;-p
Great analysis, and a very good style. Your writing skill could rival Pacman’s boxing skill. You may put it to better use on some other topic.
If I may suggest, developmental economics, political or social commentaries would is well suited for this style.
There are two important questions that will be known come fight night!
1. Can Cotto handles Pacquiao speed as what we saw against Mosley? If yes then its a long night for Pacquiao.If no then its bye bye for Cotto.
2.Can Pacquiao handles Cotto\’s power punches? If yes then Pacquiao dont have problem outboxing Cotto all night, If no then Pacquiao is in danger of getting KOed.
Very interesting match up, better than ODLH and Hatton!
Of course Cotto can take volumes of punches no one in the game throws more punches than Tony Margarito……..Pacquiaos only advantage will be his footwork…….Speed has never been a factor for Miguel Cotto……I predict a Cotto victory in round 10
Like what I have been saying in forums and in my bloggings, Manny Pacquiao has the ability to adjust and be flexible in all of his opponent’s fighting style. Manny Pacquiao overcomes his disadvantages and making full use of his advantages. I always likened Manny Pacquiao as the Bruce Lee of today’s generation. What Manny does is being an indirect follower of Bruce Lee’s philosopy. Skeptics of Manny are obviously ignorant of the way of the intercepting fists or the general term known as Jeet Kune Do
Well,those realities won’t sink in a bit to those Pacquiao’s detractors.
Now some are blaming the media just to discredit what was achieved and already recorded in boxing history.Six titles in different weight classes and now eyeing the seventh,still perceive as not true is dellusional.Cotto is beatable,and nothing out of the ordinary is highlighted on his boxing achievements.
In the contrary,Pacquiao’s report card is full of A’s.He is now
bordering the legendary to a miracle.However a person’s personal view doesn’t reflect it all,but how many individual do believe that miracle do happen?that should explains the skepticism.
Great write-up man…. Cotto can take a punch, who can’t? He is a boxer isn’t he? Speed kills and he won’t be able to cover himself up when Pacman throws punches in bunches….My prediction PACMAN in 6 rounds.
GO PACMAN.
I think i’m the only one who would say this. You asked about Pacquiao’s speed? And here’s i can say about it. Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer in history that has this ablility, i’m not only talking about speed, a lot of boxers have this. His boxing style is very different among all of them. Just like Oscar Dela Hoya said, style makes the fight. The Pacman is the only boxer in this world that has this ability and the ability i’m talking about is the speed of his FEET. I mean you’re feet bring your whole body wherever they go,right, but Pacquiao has an extreme amount of speed on his feet among others. I mean, Ali has his amazing footwork but not as good as Manny. Manny’s feet are like a ball…that bounces. And Manny’s style of boxing is bouncing on and off looking for the perfect leverage and take his timed power punch.
Manny Pacquiao will lose this fight because he is not mentally focused. He is more focused on his upcoming political election next year, who his next opponent will be and what songs to sing in his after-fight party in Las Vegas. In his mind he already won the fight. That is the wrong mentality for any fight. He says he is taking this fight seriously but his actions speak louder than words. This guy needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Maybe losing by knockout will help wake him up. Good for Manny if he loses. He deserves it.
Nice article keep it up!
Nice piece of work. The PacMan had already figured out how to send Cotto to the canvas KOed. It was when him and Arum watcthed Cotto/Clottrys fight in New York. All the PacMann has to do was to be in top shape. And he is now.
The only thing I don\\\’t agree with you is that it won\\\’t last 8 rounds. Its between 1 and 5 rounds for Cottos\\\’ demised.
Go Manny……get him! and good luck!
“This is a very important bout. This gives Cotto the chance to rise several notches towards the ranks of superstardom. On Pacquiao’s part, this fight will most certainly eradicate all remaining doubts about his greatness”. YOUR ARE SO STUPID, COTTO FOR SURE IS A BOXING SUPERSTAR, AND HOW ABOUT MANNY, YOU DOUBT ABOUT HIS GREATNESS? HAY NAKU ANG TAO NGA NAMAN, WALANG KASIYAHAN… KABOBOBO MO NAMAN GID! AND ONE MORE THING, WHOSE SIDE YOU ARE IN ANYWAY…
I hope Manny really trained hard for this. I saw the HBO 24/7 and I think he is not that serious.
Good Luck Manny.
pacquiao in 6. cotto will try to get up but can’t.
i agree with you reylan….but i think the knockout will gonna be in the later rounds ..maybe 5th or 6th!
Pacman knows!
Pacquiao speed and power will cripple Cotto.
Cotto is tough as nails so it may take 11th round KO for Pacquiao.
Cotto must bring a lot of gas to make it tough for Pacquiao.
There’s 40% possiblity that Cotto can pull up an upset.
better to watch the fight…
I bet for Cotto – P200,000, Pacman is down in 3rd Round. Contact me at Brgy. Bugang, Inabanga, Bohol, Philippines.

cotto will destroy pacquiao, and that is according to Eddie who sucked my big dick.
I pick Pacquiao to win on Nov. 14th and I want Pacquiao to win against Mayweather too. Then, I will beat Pacquiao to pieces after he finds the courage to finally face me, Juan Manuel, his biggest nightmare! I will put him to shame in front of millions of boxing fans by schooling him for 11 rounds and knocking him out cold by the 12th. This is his punishment for ducking me.
I OWN MANNY PACQUIAO AND HE KNOWS IT!!! HE\’S AFRAID TO FIGHT ME!!!
Hola to all my fans,
Juan Manuel Marquez
great article dude!
that writer who say cotto proved his chin against margarito is a dumbss! he means getting KO’d is an evidence of a n iron chin! yeah i agree, there will always be excuses! they would say cotto’s trainer or the catchweight are the reasons cotto’s ass get beaten. look at the way pc’s critics reason out on ocar’s annihilation! and those critics never reason out before the fight, instead keep on saying that de la hoya or cotto is too big and too strong and faced heavier, stronger opponents. but when they find out they are wrong, that’s the time they make excuses! in short. dumb idiots! llewmij@ymail.com
nice piece bro.. Incessant droplets of water over a period of time breaks a rock.. “TRUE”
Wisdom for idots exposed Cotto simply quit but was never KOd by a man weilding a pair of bricks now if thats not what ya call iron chin than what is?
Pacquiao has great speed in his footworks due to his fully developed calves! The unbelievable power combined with cat-like speed generated from his punches come from his legs up to his torso…Pacquiao by TKO 6th round
Uncle Bod will soon retires, he really likes the business but his age will soon tells him he must retire. For this, he wants one of his fighter make history and only Manny has a potential to make it on Nov 14. If Cotto wins this fight, it will just comes back to old times and the recognition will soon forgotten. For Cotto’s part, winning the fight against the P4P king Manny will surely boost his career but that’s a huge gamble since Manny is showing willingness to die for it. I hate to say this as I’m sure Cotto fans and all boxing fanatics will not like it, I don’t like it to happen either ( I just want to express my childish idea, no need to get back at me ) If I were Cotto, I can double my Money on that date by showing my chin to Manny and take a knee or stuff like that, I can be a very good actor. I won’t gamble with unfair odds 2 to 1. I’m not a gambler anyway. Give that recognition to Manny, he deserves it after all.
hey man…. im from davao… ever hear of the mutoc aparice clan there in inabanga? diha gikan ako nanay and tatay… poloy mutoc.. from davao del nore
i’ll take note of the name tony montgomery, from BraggingRightsCorner.com. he’s gonna be popular after the pacquiao-cotto bout since people will surely miss him because the guy will surely be missing on the web because of shame. i’m a heartless son of a bitch in saying that he’s not in the right state of mind or perhaps just simply sucks in logic. Philosophy 101. tony said that cotto can take punches and it was proven in his(cotto) fight with margarito. very well then if cotto can take punches he wouldn’t have been ko’ed by margarito? am i smart? hell no! just a below average guy who has a common sense.

I predict Cotto to win by ko in 8th. Height and weight advantage is more effective in this fight than speed. Cotto’s defense is also great, so speed is not a factor.
nice article/good analysis, meanwhile, just a review for those people who havent seen mosley/cotto fight, that cotto could neutrilize the speed of mosley and zab(that’s true indeed). BUT, to only fighters that fight and standing in front of him not with pac because he works on a leteral movement. Believe me it would be a nightmare for cotto fight night.
This fight will not reach the 9th round. You bet. Pacquiao has to KO cotton within the first three rounds, if not, Cotto will KO Pacman within the 4th to 6th round. If both will go beyond 6 rounds, its a TKO by Cotto over Pacman.
Manny has completed dominance from 106 lbs to 147 lbs when he demolished Oscar. For formality, Cotto’s belt is a must. But Cotto is likely to put everything he can to upset everyone hoping for it. He doesn’t want Manny to use his belt to formalize his kingship. He has plans for himself. To prove everyone that he is Miguel Angel Cotto, one of the finest Puerto Rican warrior of this era. The money involves here is pretty darn good but this fight is more than the value of money, its all about pride. You have to kill me first in Cotto’s mind, and Manny, I will do everything necessary to take your belt. That’s a very good stuff to put at the wild card gym, I need that before I retire, before Bod retires. Before the eyes of everyone, I really need that belt.
Pacman by KO in the first three rounds or a KO by cotto in within the 4th to 6th round. If the fight goes beyong 6th, its a TKO by Cotto over Pacman. I bet my house, this fight will not reach the 9th round. Remember my prediction–Nostradamus
Pacman\’s best weapons in his body are his legs (He\’s playing basketball), powerful left hand and his brain. I advise Cotto to play basketball always as part of his training for him not to get KO and improve his body balance also his speed.
pacman KO in 1.
I think the size and weight difference is not the factor of winning the fight, they both have the same reach, and cotto is taller just less then an inch, if Paquiao had grown up in the same way of Cotto sorroundings, maybe Manny started boxing at 130 lbs, but he is a thin boxer, had to work hard to find something to feed for himself and his family. And the good thing is that he develop his pure muscle naturally asHe gained wieght with out removing any fat at all., so maybe Cotto is heavier at fight night, but all that added wieght doesn’t add more power to his punches., so for me basically the same, only that Manny has more power on his punches. I don’t think Cotto punches are more powerful than Manny, If Margarito hit by Manny same as Cotto hit him, I don’t think Margarito can still win that fight with Cotto. Manny by TKO…
Very well said, Reylan. Great writing skills, great point of view from a non english speaking country. We have Arnel Pineda, Charice Pempengco in singing, Manny in boxing showcasing their talents in international entertainment. In the field of writing, it might be you. May I suggest your place of origin to include Philippines not just Bohol because you have foreign audience.
THI FIGHT WILL NOT HAPPEN , BECAUSE BEFORE THE FIGHT SOMEBOBODY WILL GET INJURED…
Manny continues to surprise everyone in each of his fights especially recent ones.His bout with Cotto will definitely be another surprise. Pacman will be the only boxer in history to capture seven titles in seven divisions-that is the surprise come November 14, 2010.
I predict that cotto will knock out by manny in 6 rounds. believed me….
to james:it\’s leech not lychees.lychees are fruits and leech is linta,k.anyway pacman will ko cotto in 8
Manny is Superman and Batman in the movie he just finished. However, in real life he will continue to be Superman/Batman because he will knock out Cotto out. You are right. Manny is one in a billion and he will continue to exceed expectation.
We would like to see him fight Mayweather and knock him out too as Ariza pointed out. Another two fights and he can retire for good. But will somebody tell Manny that he can go into politics for the next 100 years of his life, but please just leave one year in boxing so that we can see him fight more?
Barok
Pacquiao in 5 rounds! Cotto will be lucky if he can survive til 5 rounds. My prediction no longer than 7 rounds!
My analysis Cotto is strong, but Pacquiao is stronger,
Cotto is not so fast, but Pacquiao is the fastest fighter in the planet, A single punch of Pacquiao will knock Cotto. If Cotto and his camp thinks they can handle it, how about Mannny’s barrage of punches?
Actually my real prediction is less than 5 rounds. I’m just saying less than seven to be safe. But I really believe that Cotto will kiss the canvas in early rounds!
Cotto trains for 2 hours while pacquiao trains for 4 to 5 hours..lol…
come nov 14th,2009 will be cotto’s death…he shall rest in peace
yeah…baby…PACMAN in 5th round!!!!
i think pac-cotto fight will be a MEGAFIGHT in history of boxing! cotto will swallow all the lightning punches of pacman! cotto will kiss manny’s ass on the 14th of nov! =D
Pacman’s footwork and speed will be the key factor for Cotto’s defeat.
I am not a boxing expert, but I know the difference between which is fast and which is slow.
I watched Cottos fights, he is slow. I watched Pacmans fights, he slips and ducks punches. In other words, you can hardly hit and hurt him. Cotto is bigger, which means, an easy target!
Look at the previous fights stats of Pacmans power punches, it ranges between 50-70% !! He does not missed!
pacman ko by rd 5
So we now know how each of the 2 guys will win. Cotto by KO, Pacman by KO or decision. I would’nt compare the punches from sparring with the punches from the fight itself. In sparring, the fighters wear headgears, and probably the gloves are not the same as the one used in the real fight. Cotto can take punches. I wonder how Pacquiao would take Clottey’s punches, that of course, is another topic. I’m just saying Cotto is tough as far as his chin is concerned. Pac’s chin is also good as seen in his fights, but he hasn’t faced someone with Cotto’s power. Question is, can Cotto land a big punch? I doubt it but I am not discounting a possibility. I am picking Pacquiao to win this one because of his speed/power.
Friends in a boxing world there are so many peoples saying I am a great boxer of all the time. Which I really believed that Manny has his owned greatiest talent in a boxing history to become seventh division sooner. I predicted that Manny will do to TKO Cotto in 10 rounds I’m very sure on that that because Cotto has it’s strong fighter also and big & tall a little than Manny. But I believed Manny can do & on the early round Manny is measuring the power of Cotto. Then in second round Manny will change his style to counter Cotto movement. When Manny notice that Cotto well got hurt that’s the time Manny will move on his plan to TKO. 3rd round Cotto will be little bit hurt, 4rth round Cotto start cutting his left eyes, 5 round cotto will closely tired, 6 round cotto will save the bill, 7 round cotto will seriously big probelms his cut then doctor get attention, will Cotto continue the fight in 8 round, then in 9 round Cotto will be come bloody face and weak until the round end. And finally in 10 round just cunsume 2: 25 second Cotto will be KO that’s the end of the fight. See you on Nov 14 my prediction bye bye telax.
I have been following Pacquiao’s boxing exploits, and I can tell you, Pacman has evovled from the slugger- type boxer then to a masterful tactician of what he is now. all this transformations must be credited to the hard work than by Freddie roach. come fight time, Pacman victory will depend on how Roach has prepared the fight plan. But i’ll bet Pacman will prevail via TKO on the early rounds.
Pacman lost twice against morales and marquez and still they gave him the wins… He coould never beat oscar at his fighting weight. He beat a drained delahoya. Everybody knows that…Stop the catch weights .. Good fighter yes.. great no way
Haha. Wow!! It’s amzing to see how many of u pacman %^#* riders or on here. I bet most of u aren’t even real boxing fans! Yea manny is an exciting fighter he is a good fighter I take nothing away from him. But manny has never faced some1 like cotto. A TRUE welter! He hasn’t been hit by some1 who punches as hard as cotto. IMO I don’t belive he can even hurt cotto. Cotto will use hos jab, cut off the ring so he can trap manny and wen he’s trapped he is going to beat mannys body up. Cottos jab will be the reason manny loses. Ps PAC loss to Marquez.!

I’m a Filipino and I go to the Filipino fighter. The only thing Manny will lose to Cotto if He doesn’t make him seriously. Focus is the best weapon in Paquiao’s victory.But i think He’s not that intensely focus with his fight to Cotto with all those distractions and plans especially this coming 2010 election. Unlike previous fights against famous boxers, Manny had a strong determination and the intensity was with him. I”m not Nostradamus who predicts future because He himself got mistakes with his predictions to the END OF THE WORLD.
anyway…let’s just see the fight and stop this trash talking…
and when the bell rings..Hold on.hold tight…coz someone’s gonna fall…either them both..__________
