I may not be the biggest boxing fan in the world, but the performance of Manny Pacquiao was something definately worth writing about. He beat Miguel Cotto in the 12th round, and many felt he should have won long before that, as his speed, accuracy and persistance was too much for the champion Cotto to handle.I did some boxing training a while back, and it is in my opinion the hardest sport to train for, so seeing someone as good as the "Pacman" definately is something amazing. Many people felt Cotto was the stronger of the two, but there are reasons why Pacquiao is rated the best pound for pound boxer in the world.
His last three opponents include the former golden boy of boxing Oscar De La Hoya, Britains then, highly rated Ricky Hatton and now Cotto. Furthermore, he is also the first man, to hold seven world titles in seven different weight divisions. He is an incredible fighter, and has already obtained legendary status despite only being 30.
If you are not a fan of the "Pacman", I urge you to watch the highlights of those last three bouts, because his in ring ability is something very few in the world can match. There are rumours flieing around now that Floyd Mayweather may be his next opponent. If that proves to be true, its a match a can't wait to see, but whatever happens, Manny Pacquiao deserves a mention as the best boxer in the world today!
