No Hate For Manny: Respect In Defeat

Manny Pacquiao will lose his fight with Miguel Cotto, but deserves all the respect in the world. He is facing a very strong individual, whose only loss is questioned by some as tainted, at a much higher weight. In fact, Miguel Cotto might very well be the messier fight Manny can find at WW. Instead of fighting a less talented fighter, or a slickster, he chose the PITBULL. I haven't seen this kind of risk taking lately. "P4P version" Roy Jones Jr. went to heavyweight to face John Ruiz. "P4P version" Manny Pacquiao is at welterweight fighting Miguel Cotto. This is like Roy Jones Jr. going to the heavyweights and fighting Frazier. Manny chose to fight the Pitbull. He will lose. But I respect him much more than any other active fighter today.
