Besides all the BS threads and **** talking let's get down to the truth about this fight and these two fighters.
First off, much respect to Miguel Angel Cotto for showing class and heart in a lopsided fight. I always liked Cotto because he's always shown humility and class no matter what the situation. He fought hard and smart early on but as I predicted, speed would be too much for him.
Manny's foot speed was incredible in this fight. I was also shocked to see how Manny stood right in front of Cotto and took his shots like it was nothing. Pac is about as a complete fighter as I have ever seen. He's better than Henry Armstrong, he's in that class and he's an ATG.
Whether you want to argue he's a 7 division champ or a 5 division champ, it doesn't matter. For a guy who started his career at 106lbs and now is fighting at WW and just destroyed on of the best WW out there, incredible.
Filipinos should be proud of Manny because he will go down as one of the greatest boxers to ever lace up the gloves. His accomplishments are incredible when you really think about them and he is the greatest fighter of our generation.
Puerto Ricans should be proud as well because Miguel Cotto is a warrior and stood and took a beating at the hands of a great fighter. I respect Cotto more now than I ever have. He's all class and he talks the talk and walks the walk.
It's easy to hand pick opponents and avoid fighters who aren't a good "match up" for you. Instead Manny and Miguel gave the boxing world what they wanted to see. This is the reason Manny is the best fighter of our generation and why I have gained even more respect for Cotto.
