Cotto ready to dismantle Pacquiao

Cotto spars between 10 – 15 rounds. His sparring partners help a lot to improve his condition each day. Earlier, they watched Pacquiao’s past fights to formulate a fight plan, considering Pacquiao’s weaknesess. If Cotto manages to attack Pacquioa’s body in the early rounds, it will be Pacquiao’s devastating end. In fact, I am sure Cotto to aim on the body first rather than hitting Pacquioa’s head.

Manny Pacquiao needs to look at things cautiously. Miguel Cotto is a natural Welterweight. Fighting at 145 is not a problem. I think Manny chose fighting Cotto, thinking he was totally beaten during his last fights. That’s crazy, Cotto is Cotto – the man with determination, focus and power. Cotto’s dominance in power and timing are the answers to counter Pacquiao’s speed. If Pacquiao accidentally made a wrong move, it will be goodnight.

From Miguel Cotto’s training diary, “I have already heard that Bob Arum said Pacquiao trains almost twice as hard as me. I don't really care about comments like that. Our training will show on the day of the fight. I do my job the way it has to be done, as planned, and on the day of the fight we'll see who's in the best possible condition. Manny has already said that he considers this fight to be the most difficult of his career and that's why he's training so hard. I expect to win and I train hard enough to achieve that. I win my fights in the gym, training very hard. If Pacquiao trains more or less than me, I cannot worry about that. The key to our training is to be 100 percent prepared, always. If Manny works as hard as I do, we'll have a great fight. “
