Fire Power.

One of the most celebrated boxers coming out of 'La Isla Del Encanto', One of Puerto Rico's finest, 3 time former champion, Miguel Ángel Cotto (35-1, 27 KO's) ranked #7 on The Ring Magazine's Pound For Pound list and recognized as one of the top three best in the Welterweight division is training for his biggest test yet. Miguel Ángel Cotto, a former WBA Welterweight champion, marking his only lost to a controversial defeat against Antonio Margarito, is coming back strong from the devastating stoppage. After a flawless win against Micheal Jennings, winning the vacant WBO Welterweight belt in February and a split decision win against maybe the strongest hitting welterweight today, Joshua Clottey in June, he comes back full of heart. Training a whole month in advance for his next bout shows how serious he is about defending his WBO Welterweight belt, but also presents the type of preparation for what he is up against.

Philippine boxing icon, know as a contemporary Hero of Asia. Ranked at #1 on The Ring Magazine's Pound for Pound List and recognized globally as #1, Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KO's) is the next opponent for Puerto Rico's Miguel Ángel Cotto. Pacquiao is the Current Ring Magazine Jr. Welterweight champion and coming from impressive wins against Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, David Daiz and Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao's resume is quite a feat. Coming from his first professional fight at the Jr. Flyweight limit of 108 pounds in 1995, now fighting at 145 pounds in his next fight at the Welterweight division has put him down as pound for pound king of the sport. Champion in six weight divisions, tied with Oscar De La Hoya, and now aiming for the unprecedented win of a major world title in a seventh weight class equals a Superstar in boxing. He shines as one of best known, almost seemingly taking Oscar De La Hoya's spotlight after retirement.

Miguel.

Cold. All he needs is a tux, and his occupation will become hit man. El Don de Puerto Rico. Visit his previous fights, and you see a man detached from pain. You see a frigid front. When present, the mood evolves into suggested danger, especially for the man who steps across the ring with him.

His character is fearless, and even during the horror of his only loss, he came out to fight in every round with a man with rocks in his gloves. Took it almost the full twelve rounds. Cotto boxed back to a man that seem unbeatable, a man that whose objective was to win, but in the same time inflicted unbearable pain. Blood, Cuts. It don't mean shit. He comes in it to fight.

Pacman.

He holds a title in which boxers work hard to claim. Known as the best boxer in the world. Pound for Pound king in the sport of boxing, Manny Pacquiao. His following is unquestionable. The company of not just Philippines, but in at a global output now. The move of 108 pounds to the 140's is casting an interest to the average person. The production of Pacquiao's right and lefts profit into entertainment.

Five punch combinations with three steps forward, is an advance of magic, imagery depicting a typhoon style offense. Resistance, the stamina is always there. Blood seems to call this guy's strength or something, its a visual cue for him to engage in sequences that's most memorable for fans. The Speed of pacquiao's punches come in so fast, opponents are left dazed and confused. With the technical training that coach Freddie Roach has taught him, the tools have been surely polished and at this time, the duo between Roach and Pacquiao seems unstoppable.

There is a lot of factors in this next upcoming fight. Boxing writers, the fans, the coaches of both Cotto's and Pacquiao's camps all have their thoughts on what attribute can win this fight. Most of these thoughts though only focus on maybe one or two qualities one has over the other. In the night of the fight though, one or two qualities are not going to mean anything. What's important is how they are going to counter each others known better qualities and how they handle the business.

November 14, Saturday night, is going to be a night with answers like any other night of boxing. The styles between both men is a sight to be seen, mixed. And if you been reading this far, ( because I seem to write to damn much.) you can tell that there is a big interest in this fight. You just don't really know what is going to happen and that's the most special thing.

This is the strongest man Pacquiao has ever faced, and some see that a loss is very close. Cotto seems to come off as an obstacle. A heavy obstruction. A very strong test with the heart and the tools. A full physical package, an obvious bigger man. In the other side though, Pacquiao has never looked better. He's been completely polished into an all boxing machine. His first fights in the major spotlight, were nothing but an arsenal of right and lefts, but now its so many different qualities, angles, so many features now, you don't what he'll bring. The strongest qualities as I mentioned before is stamina and speed, and its going to be the key to win this fight as Cotto is going to bring power and boxing.

I have to say though, I am behind Manny Pacquiao. I feel he has what it takes to win. Speed. Combinations, The challenge though, is a tough one. Miguel Cotto is not going to be pushed over, and is coming with the potency. With fortitude. Its Firepower. That is what you can expect.
