On Miguel Cotto’s diary posted on ESPN he dedicates a few paragraphs to what’s been said in the press about the upcoming fight. From the looks of it, Miguel Cotto is trying to sound tough but you can tell if someone uses half of their diary entry talking about not caring about what people say you know what that really means…. he really does care.
“I have already heard that Bob Arum said Pacquiao trains almost twice as hard as me. I don’t really care about comments like that. Our training will show on the day of the fight. I do my job the way it has to be done, as planned, and on the day of the fight we’ll see who’s in the best possible condition. Manny has already said that he considers this fight to be the most difficult of his career and that’s why he’s training so hard. I expect to win and I train hard enough to achieve that. I win my fights in the gym, training very hard. If Pacquiao trains more or less than me, I cannot worry about that. The key to our training is to be 100 percent prepared, always. If Manny works as hard as I do, we’ll have a great fight.
I also know that [Manny Pacquiao's trainer] Freddie Roach has been yapping again, but he is always talking, and after this fight he’ll have no option but to shut up. This fight will be tough, but I am confident I will be victorious. Freddie should worry about getting Manny ready for me, a bigger and stronger fighter who always comes ready to win. I have already faced southpaws and I’ve won all the time, but he hasn’t fought anybody as strong as me. We’ll see how he manages to deal with my style once we get in the ring.”

To leave you guys with a little something here’s the highlights of the Cotto vs. Margarito fight (yeah I know Margarito is suspect with his hand wraps but hey, a beating is a beating).

i’m a huge pacquiao fan, but i gotta say that last line “hey a beating is a beating”…poor taste.
a beating is not a beating if someone is cheating. and margarito had to be cheating. blood out of mouth eyes nose ear? c’mon.
i think manny would be the first person to say that a beating is a beating as long as no one is cheating. but there is no way that margarito/cotto fight was an ordinary beating.
i have nothing but praises for both manny and miguel. fight fair and may the best win.
as for margarito team they should be banned for life in boxing.losers
Dunno ’bout that…posting a video of Antonio Plaster-ito beating Cotto doesn’t shed much light on Cotto’s career. That’s like showing Kobe missing a couple buzzer beaters and asking your audience to question his career. “A missed jump shot is a missed jump shot.”
Remember, Marquez beat Pac TWICE. Watch the fights again, and score the rounds like the true boxing fans do…
