Manny Pacquiao Escapes Training to Help Flood Victims

Pound-for pound king Manny Pacquiao took a day off from his sparring sessions in Baguio City to join relief and rehabilitation groups in bringing relief goods and services to the victims of typhoon 'Ondoy' in Metro Manila

World's most popular boxer Manny Pacquiao took a day off from his sparring sessions in the high altitude city of Baguio in the Philippines to visit the typhoon-ravaged areas in Metro Manila. Pacquiao donated P1 million to the
relief and rehabilitation fund for typhoon victims.

The Philippines was had hit by typhoon 'Ondoy' late last month along with another super typhoon 'Pepeng' that ravaged homes and major infrastructure in Northern Philippines.

Pacquiao is in the middle of training and physical conditioning in preparation for his mega fight with Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.

The most-awaited boxing event of the year will take place at the MGM Grand garden arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 14, 2009.

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's official trainer and coach, flew in last month from form Los Angeles, California to personally supervise the training of the popular Filipino boxer. The training and physical conditioning is taking place in Baguio City, a high-altitude mountain about 250 kilometers north of Manila.

Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, president of Top Rank Promotions, also donated P1 million to the typhoon victims of Metro Manila. Arum is in Manila to observe Pacquiao's training in Baguio City

Pacquiao has been sparring with bigger and stronger boxers in preparation for his date with Miguel Cotto who is much bigger and heavier than the the pound-for-pound king.

Manny Pacquiao is the current Ring Magazine pound-for-pound king and considered as the world's most popular boxer today. He is included in the list of worlds top 100 influential persons for 2009 by Forbes.

The popular Filipino boxer earlier announced that he intends to retire next year after one to two more fights. A win by Pacquiao over Miguel Cotto next month will increase the chances of a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight early next year.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has just won over Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico last September 19 after a 19-month retirement from active professional boxing with an unblemished record.

Pacquiao Versus Cotto Predictions

Here's Pacquiao versus Cotto fight prediction from Boxing24.com

Life, death, and taxes are the the only things certain in life. You can add in Manny Pacquiao beating Miguel Cotto into that equation as well. I have been thinking about this over the last few days, and I can’t think of any way Miguel Cotto defeats a motivated and determined legend like Pacquiao. He just does not have it in him. Now things could change like varibles that are out anybodys control. But if Manny Pacquiao is at his best, he will be defeat Miguel Cotto. Here are the reasons why.

Speed
Boxing is a speed sport. And Manny Pacquiao is the fastest fighter in the business. Cotto advocates will say their man has had success against Shane Mosley and Zab Judah, very fast fighters in their own right. But none of them have the consistent attack of Pacquiao. Plus remember Mosley landed 53% of his power shots against Cotto in their razor tight 2007 affair. If Manny lands at least 40% of his it will be lights out for Cotto. Not because Manny is neccessarily a harder puncher then Mosley. He is a more precise puncher then Sugar Shane. And speed and precision will equal the end of Cotto’s chances.

Style
Manny Pacquiao has the most difficult style to fight in boxing. First he is a left hander. Second he is an offensive minded left hander who can punch from all angles. Third he moves in and out better then anybody in recent memory. Judging from his recent fights, Miguel Cotto does not have the reflexes to keep up with Pacquiao’s pace. Cotto has had success against left handed fighters in the past, Zab Judah and Carlos Quintana. But Pacquiao is a whole different man. He doesn’t fight a safety first style like Quintana, and he does not make the mistakes Judah does.

Stamina
This is the main reason why Cotto will not beat Manny Pacquiao. And what I believe will be the determining factor in the fight. Cotto faded in all of his big fights. He faded against Shane Mosley, he faded against Antonio Margarito, and he faded against Joshua Clottey. What makes anybody think he will not do the same against a much more active Manny Pacquiao. Manny gets stronger as the fight goes on, evidenced by his performances with Erik Morales(2nd fight) and Marco Antonio Barrera. Cotto has a tendency to get on his bike in rounds 8 thru 12. You can’t do that against Pacquiao. He will be coming all 12 rounds with tremendous stamina. Cotto is not Julio Cesar Chavez, he won’t be in your face all night. After 6 rounds of trying to pressure Pacquiao he will revert back to trying to box, and it will not work.

Prediction
This is what WILL happen folks.(Some may think I am full of hot air, but talk to me after the fight)Cotto will come out strong, he will be the aggressor. Heck I think he may win 2 or 3 of the 1st 6 rounds. He is an excellent fighter and a great body puncher. I think he will get hurt in either round 7 or 8, maybe have a cut opened up. Pacquiao will begin to land at will, then by the 9th or 10th round it will be all she wrote. Pacquiao by 10th Round Stoppage.
Cotto fans there is a sliver of hope. Your man is the stronger and bigger fighter, and he has a great body attack. Consistent pressure is his only hope, but he is not capable of it for 12 full rounds. He is not the same fighter he was 2 years ago, and if he was I don’t think it would matter anyway. Unfortunately he is fighting Manny Pacquiao, the best fighter of his generation. This fight will turn out the same way the 2nd Erik Morales fight did, good action early, close rounds until like round 7 or 8 then Pacquiao will begin to dominate.

The only way Pacquiao loses this fight is if he doesn’t train properly and he isn’t ready fight night. But who thinks Freddie Roach or the Pacquiao team will let that happen? He won’t, Pacquiao will be ready and in shape. Michael Buffer will end the night by saying, “Winner and New WBO Welterweight Champion of the World, Manny Pacquiao!!!”

Who's Next for Mayweather? Cotto, Pacquiao or Mosley?

Don’t out think the room. We are all guilty of it sometimes and I was guilty as can be when I picked Juan Manuel Marquez to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. In retrospect. What the heck was I thinking? Floyd was bigger, faster, stronger, and better.

Last night Mayweather Jr. returned to the ring with an excellent boxing display. He pretty much won every round over an over matched but game Marquez. Now the question is where does Mayweather go from here. Does he wait for the winner of Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto? Or does he fight Sugar Shane Mosley? Let’s take a look.

Pacquiao-Cotto winner
If Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto, it would set the stage for what would be the biggest ‘Money’ fight in boxing. It would be a match-up of the 2 best fighters of the decade. And it would draw in a huge mainstream crowd. Pacquiao’s determination, power and speed would make it a fantastic match-up. Mayweather’s great defence and bigger size would make things very difficult for Pacquiao. This would be the biggest fight in the sport. The sort of draw that boxing needs to have at least once a year.

Now if Miguel Cotto wins it would still be a big event. But it would be a let down from the anticapated Pacquiao showdown. Cotto’s body punching, underated skills, and power would make it interesting. But Floyd would definitely have the advantages going in.

Sugar Shane Mosley
For diehards fans this may be the best match-up. It would Floyd’s first legitimate fight against against a great welterweight. And the 1st fight against against a future hall of famer his own size.(De La Hoya non-withstanding) This fight has been talked about since 1999 but yet it has never happened. It is probably the best fight ‘NEVER’ to happen of the last decade.

Much has been said about Shane turning down Mayweather in 2006 when a fight was proposed. But with a Oscar De La Hoya fight looming with Money Mayweather, it never came about.

The truth of the matter is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon (Mayweathers’s Management Team) want no part of Mosley. They are flat out afraid to fight Mosley. They will hide behind the excuses that Mosley ‘can’t draw’, and how Mosley is ‘B-side’. But the truth of matter is on paper Mosley is the toughest fight for Floyd, and Floyd has always avoided perceived tough fights. Roger Mayweather and Floyd Sr. are on record saying Mosley would be the toughest fight Floyd Jr could take. Floyd and his advisors care about making the easiest fight rather then securing a legacy and that is sad. If Floyd had any Manny Pacquiao or Shane Mosley in him it would make him a more liked fighter.

Who Should Floyd Fight
He should fight them all. But he won’t. I think Floyd will say ‘No’ to Shane Mosley out of fear. He will come up with some excuse that his fans will buy hook line and sinker. Floyd fans can say what they want but their man is afraid of Shane Mosley. Then he will wait for the winner of Pacquiao-Cotto. He will ask for 60-40 once Pac wins. Which he should not get. Eventually they will probably get down to 50-50. And we will probably have Mayweather and Pacquiao in April or May of 2010. Floyd perceives Pacquiao as an easier fight because of size. But he may be sorely mistaken.

Floyd and his people should not underestimate Pacquiao.

Pacquiao-Cotto Fight is now Official on November 14, 2009 at Las Vegas

Now it's official. Pacquiao-Cotto fight live in Las Vegas Nevada on November 14, 2009 is all set. This was revealed in the latest article regarding the Pacquiao-Cotto fight published in philstar.com by Dino Maragay. Read the full article below.

MANILA, Philippines -- The contract for the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto showdown has been -- as the age-old cliché goes -- signed, sealed and delivered.

This was confirmed by Pacquiao's lawyer Jeng Gacal, who also said Cotto will be putting his WBO welterweight title on the line when the Puerto Rican star collides with the Filipino ring icon on Nov. 14 (Nov. 15 in Manila) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With Pacquiao-Cotto officially a title bout, the current pound-for-pound king now has a rare chance to become the first boxer in history to win seven world titles in as many divisions.

Pacquiao had previously wrested the WBC flyweight, IBF super bantamweight, Ring Magazine featherweight, WBC junior lightweight, WBC lightweight and IBO junior welterweight crowns.

In a TV interview today, Gacal said Pacquiao and Cotto will slug it out at a catch weight of 145 lbs. Cotto had earlier insisted on meeting the General Santos City-based southpaw at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.

Regarding the splitting of the fight revenue, Gacal said Pacquiao, as expected, will get the lion’s share at 65-35. He, however, did not specify how much the guaranteed purse is for each combatant.

The Pacquiao lawyer added that the fight will be aired over GMA Network, the same broadcast firm that aired Pacquiao’s previous outings against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton.

"This will be a great fight. Although Cotto is the much bigger and stronger fighter, Manny is faster and also has power," he said.

Pacquiao-Cotto Fight Opinion

Recently, I've placed an article saying that Pacquiao-Cotto fight will not be a title match. Now, I've got this article from examiner.com written by Dennis Guillermo saying that Pacquiao doesn't need Cotto or his belt. What do you think?

Read the rest of the article below.

Truth be told Manny Pacquiao does not need Miguel Cotto, nor his belt. Just based on both fighters' recent history, it should be Cotto crawling on his fours wanting to fight Pacquiao to revive his slumping career.

I don't know whether Cotto is posturing or is simply stubborn when he said he wouldn't put up his WBO welterweight belt against Pacquiao even if he had to vacate it. Fighting words from the gallant Puerto Rican, but why would Pacquiao care?

If that's the case then Cotto isn't really interested in the biggest payday and break of his career after all. If I was a Team Pacquiao adviser, I'd simply tell Manny to walk and explore his many other options.

Mosley is willing and waiting in the wings and would even go down to 140 and take 40% of the pot just to dance with Manny. Of course there's still the option of paying Marquez step-aside money as Floyd Mayweather Jr. himself suggested and get right down to business with "Money May". Or he can stay in his division and fight the winner of Timothy Bradley and Nate Campbell next week at the Agua Caliente Casino in Palm Springs. Call me T.I. because fact of the matter is Manny, "you can have whatever you like". Such are the rewards of being the best and most popular boxer in the planet. When Cotto actually locates his heart after Antonio Margarito beat the crap out of him and fighting the last four rounds of his controversial win against Joshua Clottey on skates, then he can start acting like a diva.

Really? He will vacate his title just so Pacquiao wouldn't be able to get a shot at it? That's simply disrespectful in my book. You wouldn't even give a much smaller person a shot at a belt he very well deserves if he beats you just because of two almost meaningless pounds? Pacquiao did not invent title fights at a catch weight, in fact great boxers like Sugar Ray Leonard have done it before him in the past. The welterweight limit is from 141-147 pounds, the 147 is just the maximum weight they can come in at. Realistically, Pacquiao is really that small compared to Cotto so the two pounds only makes it sensible. Just a year ago, even Bob Arum himself said imagining Pacquiao in the ring with Cotto was ludicrous and he simply could not see it happening. That was then, this is now. And now all of a sudden it's ridiculous for Pacquiao to ask for a title-fight for asking Cotto to come down 2 pounds?

Let's put things in proper perspective. Pacquiao does not need Cotto right now. Actually, Cotto is fortunate that he is getting all this attention and publicity after his ho-hum victories and devastating loss to Margarito. A lot of people even consider him damaged goods and actually lost to Clottey. That's not to say I agree with that, I personally feel Cotto is still one of the toughest fights for Pacquiao out there but it doesn't mean it's the best fight for him necessarily especially if it would be a beltless fight and if Cotto would go out of his way just to not make it a title-fight for him. Pacquiao can fight Mosley who is a better sell for American veiwers and Pay-Per-View buyers anyway. You also finally get to see Pacquiao fight an African-American boxer, one of the best at that, as some people have been clamoring for. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record but Pacquiao got options... Pacquiao got options....Pac-paca-pac-pa-pac-pac got chiki-chiki op-tions... Pacquiao got op-o-o-options. Broken record, scratch, scribble, dice and transform it, whatever it takes to send the message. Got it? Good. (By the way shout out to my boy DJ QBert, one of the best skratch DJs to have ever lived)

Perhaps somebody whispered something behind Cotto's ear for him to be confident of whatever happens at the moment. It's almost as if he is willing to just finish up his contract with Top Rank against whoever and jump ship to Golden Boy where promised greener pastures await. It makes sense. De la Hoya could have very well guaranteed Cotto a shot at Mayweather or a rematch with Mosley with some serious dough in tow. Nobody really believes that all Cotto and De la Hoya did was a round of golf a couple of weeks ago.

That's besides the point however. Last time I checked, Pacquiao hasn't signed any papers to fight Cotto yet. Cotto is a good opponent but there are better options for Pacquiao out there if Cotto insists on playing hard-to-get. He can go for Mosley's belts at 143 if he wants to rather than negotiate with a fighter people consider as "damaged goods".

Mosley to Pacquiao : Let's do it at 140 lbs

MANILA - Just when it seemed that he has given up chasing Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosely has suddenly come out to challenge the Filipino again.

This time, he wants to fight the pound-for-pound king in the junior welterweight division.

“I'm going down to 140 [lbs.] and I want to fight Pacquiao for his belt because that's a belt I had never won,” Mosley told Fighthype.com’s Ben Thompson.

Aside from being the top pound-for-pound fighter, Pacquiao is the reigning International Boxing Organization (IBO) and The Ring Magazine junior welterweight champion.

Mosley, the current World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champion, earlier offered Pacquiao a 40-60 revenue cut in favor of the Filipino. He also said he was willing to go down to 144 lbs. just to get that fight.

When Pacquiao refused to budge, he reportedly gave up the chase.

Mosley, however, came back into the action as Pacquiao’s camp continues to negotiate the weight issue with possible Puerto Rican foe Miguel Cotto.

“I thought about my legacy and my history,” said Mosley. “I think that me being willing to fight and the only thing that stands between us is 143 or 144 and we're going back and forth and he's playing games with Cotto.”

With his current offer at 140 lbs., Mosley said Pacquiao will surely run out of excuses not to fight him.

“I'm ready for him to say, 'yes, let's go ahead and do it' and let's fight. I mean, there should be no excuses. There should be no hold ups for Bob Arum or nobody,” said the welterweight champ.

“I'm the only one stepping up to the plate and willing to do something, willing to fight, willing to give the fans what they want… a great fight,” he added.

Mosley is really doing everything just to fight the Manny Pacquiao.
