On November 14 th, 2009 from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada, pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao will take on welterweight powerhouse Miguel Cotto.
The fight will be fought at a catch weight of 145 pounds. The weight was one of the biggest factors holding up the creation of this fight, as Pacquiaos camp wanted Cotto to come down even farther. Finally the two sides agreed on 145, 2 pounds lighter than the welterweight limit.
Manny Pacquiaos opponent for his November fight was unknown for quite some time. Finally it appeared that Shane Mosley would be the man to step into the ring with him. However, Team Pacquiao and Team Cotto were able to finalize the deal, made all the easier since both men are promoted by Bob Arum and Top Rank Promotions.
Pacquiao will have the clear speed advantage in this bout. He showed the world what his speed could do even at the higher weight classes against the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton.
Miguel Cotto on the other hand will come into the ring as the naturally larger man, having fought at junior welterweight and welterweight for his entire career. He also has superior boxing skills, while Pacquiao is the more dynamic offensive fighter. Team Pacquiao is also hoping that forcing Cotto to cut weight down to 145 pounds will leave him weaker, and Pacquiao more able to capitalize on that vulnerability.
Which man will have the edge come fight night? Some people wonder how much Miguel Cotto has left in the tank after his beat down from Margarito, however, he has rebounded and gutted out a tough win against Joshua Clottey. And isnt there ever going to be a limit on Pacquiao, on the size and caliber of the fighters he can continue taking out so impressively?
Well have to wait for fight night to see the winner of this exciting match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. The winner will have the world at his fingertips, and may end up facing Floyd Mayweather.

cotto is simply like mexican legend fighter dela hoya... but didnt work to pacquiao.. a stronghold type of fighter is simply no match to pacmans precisions high power accuracy, and consistency.
i would never thought that manny could take the beating cooto gave him....but he did...and make it look like its nothing, he is good better than what i seen....ohhhhh...floyedddddd.. .whereeeee are youuuuu ??
A lot of people here are making major EXCUSES! Pacquiao was a damaged by his 3 opponents and was able to come back and make HISTORY! Excuses are only for BABIES! LOL Cotto doesn't have DETERMINATION and the TENACITY like Pacquiao! paquiaoaoaoaoa555 is so damn right when he said that Pacquiao is destined for GREATNESS! Suck that up KIDS! Floyd is going DOWN! One fight with smaller man and can't even knock him out! LOL!
WIll u guys shut up, the coto manny match is dont final, manny is making history, and all I can see is he'll make another history AFter He knocks the HELL up into floyd maywheater's loud mouth, FLoyd stop with talkin u say manny needs to step out here it is u got it. We WAnt FLOYD!!
Cotto won the first round man, He came into the ring really strong and fast, He did everything to pacquiao, He jabbed him, He slammed him in the corner, used his murderous left hook, pushed manny in the ropes, he used his power and his and strength but it was just not enough.. No more excuses man Cotto trained 35 days earlier than Pac and he was in tip top condition and He was not "Cut in the eye" early just like in the Clottey fight.. No excuses..
agreed... manny pacquiao is history in the making.. my by cotto came in with the right formula for about the first 2 rounds. Then all manny had to do was turn up the intensity and Cotto had to slow down his pace. Once Cotto had to be more methodical Pacquiao just shredded him apart. Insanity.
So what? Pacquiao would have beaten cotto anyway whether he was undefeated or not. Cotto had a poor gameplan thats all, not because he wasnt the same anymore. Look at hatton...he comes out like a raging bull with no defence and gets knocked out. He lost because he didnt use his brains, not because he wasn't the same anymore.
