Cotto Has a Tough Task in Pacquiao, Says Ortiz

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing legend and former champion Carlos Ortiz of Puerto Rico has a lot of respect for Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino boxing fans. Ortiz fought and won two legendary battles against the fighter who Pacquiao and many Filipino boxers idolize, Flash Elorde. Ortiz stopped Elorde in round 14 at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Metro Manila, Philippines in 1964. A rematch took place in 1966 at New York's Madison Square Garden and this time Ortiz would once again get a knockout win in round 14. [details]

Filipinos idolize great boxers and well known very hospitable

[..WaRSpencE..]

Well Cotto has KO'd every southpaw he's fought..so I'm sure he knows how to fight them..

he's also faced fast and powerful guys..maybe not as fast but definitely more powerful..so Pacquiao is really gonna have to rely on his speed for this one..

on fight night, carlos ortiz will know pacquiao is better than flash elorde, sugar ray leonard, armstrong, and roberto duran.

the champ has kind words and praises on the character of the filipino people.
he must have been emotionally touched by the kind of treatment the filipinos bestoyed on him, even though he crushed their very boxing idol in their own land.
pachaters must realize that the filipinos are magnanimous even in defeat.

manny is more powerful than people thought him to be.
you will be one of those who will be surprised come fyt nyt.
cotto cannot be k/out...but he will get cut early and 'myt' not last the distance.

So far the only boxing celebrity that sees both fighters strengths and is imparcial. 50/50 fight unless the size proves to be a handicapp for Pac
