Miguel Cotto: Pacquiao's Newest Challenge !

Come November we are going to be treated once again with a great fight. Manny Pacquiao is scheduled to fight with one of the best welterweight around and holder of the WBA welterweight crown. Miguel Cotto, the pride of Puerto Rico, is going to battle today's hottest boxer and P4P king. I don't know with you but I'll definitely be buying PPV on this fight. Unlike the Mayweather-Marquez fight, this one promises to be more explosive. I'm sure it's going to be an exciting fight worthy of my coins.

Why Manny is hot right now?
I have become a believer in Manny Pacquiao since his 2nd round destruction of Hatton. I think his on top of his game at the moment. All indication coming out of his training camp is telling us that he's going full steam ahead in training. The fire, the determination and the heart is there. How would a person like that lose? I've reviewed past videos of Pacquiao fights and time and time again, his persistence and "never say die" spirit wins the game. That's why I'm routing for him on this one. I admire Miguel Cotto and I have respect for his strength but in my view, Manny will just bulldoze him into submission. I think Manny will do what he does best. Power and Speed. Throw a million punches in Cotto's face, Get the hell out of the way then come back and throw another million. I don't think Manny will go head to head and exchange directly with Cotto. Miguel is a dangerous fighter. Unlike, some of the old classic fights that Pacquiao had with the likes of Morales, Barrera and Marquez. Pacquiao can't afford to trade with Cotto as Cotto is bigger and more powerful compared to everyone else Manny has fought.

Did he really eat his dog?
While searching the net for info on Manny, I came upon an article about Manny's dad and how this dude ate Manny's pet dog. This incident seems to have caused Pacquiao to go away from home and try his luck in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines. It turns out that this event helped out a bit as Manny pursued boxing while he was in the city. But, yup, I know, what a dad? A dog? I can't even imagine.

Mark your calendar (Nov. 14 in Vegas)
Yes, November 14 is the date of the fight. As I said, I'm buying PPV on this one. Who would reign supreme? If Manny wins, he'll get 7 belts and that is making a history. Nobody else has done that. So my money is in Manny, I think he'll go in this fight highly motivated not just for the million of dollars he'll earn but for the legacy he'll leave in the world of boxing. Definitely, he's already the most popular boxer who ever came from Asia. Winning against a bigger, fresher welterweight will again silence his critics. What's my prediction? Pacquiao wins in round 7 via a knockout.
