Nice article Mr. Scott! I’m a Filipino and I’m praying for Pacquiao to win. But in boxing, boxing fans should always think that each protagonists have a pair of fists. While Pacquiao did trained well, I know also Cotto prepared. “To learn how many chicks to raise, we need to wait until the eggs hatched. We can’t say that the 10 eggs will surely equal to 10 chicks”. Let’s not forget Pacquiao’s loss to Morales the 1st fight after Pacquiao looks invincible after his 1st win over Barrera. One more thing, Pacquiao team should have fight Cotto at 147 lbs and not at a catchment weight. If Pacquiao won as what he did to Oscar and Ricky, there would still be a stain of his legacy. He still needs to beat a welterweight at 147 lbs.

Whatever the outcome, I hope that the legacy and dicovery of boxers from each of their country and other countries will contnue. For the love of the sport, I hope Manny and Miguel will fight clean.

Mabuhay, Pilipinas!

if manny wins there will be no more rematch… however, if cotto wins a rematch is possible… it’s about business and boxers profile

A Pacquiao win or loss, some (wannabe) scribes will still doubt the Filipino sensation, anyway. Hence, there is no case here (!) and that is sad to know (but true).

For Pacquiao, a bad loss would raise a lot of questions.??? FYI pacquiao is jumping up on weights and if he loses he losses it all?? LOL how crazy this author can be.. pacquiao is already up there and if he loses he loses a fight where he comes in as the real underdog.. yes you read it right.. pacquiao is the real underdog given he is facing the strength and power of a real and true welter..pacquiao will never lose his legacy even if he loses this bout..questions will only come in from those writers and analysts who has been proven wrong from their own prediction eversince the barrera fight..these analysts and writers became pac haters eversince the boxing fans made fun of their stupid predictions..
