Balance: Manny Pacquiao / Miguel Cotto

"Balance can be among a boxer's most critical assets.

The willingness to embrace affection, flanked by the discipline to moderate its interference. Recognition of the value of relaxation alongside the need to prepare for infinite possibilities. Anticipation of glory and fame, matched by acknowledgement that the beauty of this dance is rooted in brutality.

If every fight has a unique choreography, the preceding months and weeks can unfold in familiar patterns. Invevitably, there will be difficult stretches where the steps are complex, challenging junctures where support is paramount. And then also, moments when the splendor of simple precision begets a sense of perfection.

All fighters inevitably travel this uneven road. The very best somehow balance themselves along the way."

is that true that cotto has some heart problems and liver problems. I heard that he was drinking heavily after the margarito fight.

well, its actually a dance song. I remember this from the movie "True Lies". It's a great song, it's like tango dancing song.
