WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto is ready for a war against Manny Pacquiao on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Cotto is not impressed with Pacquiao's record and ran it down during a recent interview with the Manila Bulletin.

“(Pacquiao) lost to (Erik) Morales in their first fight, had a draw against (Juan Manuel) Marquez and then a razor-thin victory in the rematch. Pacquiao faced a very tired and aged (Oscar) De La Hoya. Then Ricky Hatton, an overrated fighter,” said Cotto. “Against me the story will be different. It will be a war."

Cotto said that his training camp will be the key to victory and they know exactly what to do to beat Pacquiao.

"His weaknesses are obvious to me. Hard training as always has been the key to my victories," Cotto said.
