A little over a week to go before Manny Pacquiao jumps in the ring to challenge WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on November 14. Pacquiao considers Cotto as one of the toughest fights of his career.
"Everything is okay, I always considered this fight [as] one of the toughest fights of my boxing career, that's why I didn't take it lightly for this training," Pacquiao told BoxingScene.com's Luis Sandoval.
Pacquiao claims to have seen Cotto expose some flaws during his tough win over Joshua Clottey back in June. He won't disclose his secrets.
"We've seen weaknesses of Cotto in that fight. I won't tell you that. It's our secret," Pacquiao said.
If he beats Cotto, Pacquiao may stay at welterweight. The fight is taking place at a catch-weight of 145-pounds, which is two pounds below the limit. When BoxingScene asked him about where his next fight will take place, in terms of weight - Pacquiao replied - "147, 140, either way."
Pacquiao has no fear of Cotto's power. He believes his speed will win the fight in the end.
"Cotto is strong and of course I believe [in] myself that I'm strong too. We will see in the fight. I have speed, I believe my speed [will win me the fight]," Pacquiao said.
