Mayweather is a highly respected boxer. with 5 titles and an undefeated record ever is something to reckon with. Manny Pacquiao will really have to give him his best shot before he can gauge Mayweather. Like what he did to Cotto, before he devastated the guy, he tested the ferocity of Cotto's punches and shot him quick that brought Cotto down to his knees.
The Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto fight has already been marked in history as Manny's all time record seventh belt unprecedented. That is already an achievement that nobody can take away even if he doesn't have to fight anybody in the near future, not even Mayweather would ever change that one win or lose.
As the saying goes, ships are not designed to stay in the harbor, they are they to sail and so with boxers, they are there to fight in the ring. It is not yet time for Manny to hang his gloves and retire. He will still have to fight, and hopefully this time it will be against Mayweather.
There are a lot of speculations arising on how this fight would come out. Mayweather has a lot of following being the former pound for pound king and Manny has a lot of followers too. I would say then that we can look at the 2 great fighters with equal importance. This is perhaps the reason why up to this writing both camps still haven't come up with a decision who would get the bigger share of the purse should the fight come to pass sometime on 2010. I have also learned that the acceptance fee for this bout is a whopping $50 Million for each fighter.
Recalling from Manny's previous fights, he knocked them all one way or another during each fight itself. Ricky was knocked down on the second round. Miguel Cotto was knocked on the 3rd and 4th rounds, Oscar de la Hoya was knocked and Marquez was knocked. All these fighters were at the prime of their careers when they fought Manny pacquiao except of course for dela Hoya who just came back to fill in the gap for fighters against Manny.
Mayweather was absent from the boxing scene for 21 months and after that short retirement stint he fought Marquez and he won. Marquez, when he fought Mayweather was already on his career sunset and was a little old but despite that Mayweather did not even get the chance to knock him down.
There must be something in Manny's punches that no other boxer can emulate. His speedy knockout punch is what keeps him winning. A combination of speed and knockout punch is too dangerous for any boxing contender to contain. Unless Manny deviates from that standpoint, then he will be unbeatable.
A lot of people forget that speed is power. You can’t take it away from Mayweather, who is a fast fighter. But when you take speed, with amount of punches you throw – Manny throws a lot of punches with speed, whereas Mayweather is more a single-shot fighter. He’s still quick, but I don’t think single shots will keep Manny Pacquiao away from Mayweather, whereas I know combinations will push Mayweather back - said amir Khan, Manny's formidable sparring partner while training to fight Cotto.
Amir Khan became the WBA World light-welterweight champion after defeating Andreas Kotelnik on 18 July 2009, making him Britain's third-youngest world champion after Naseem Hamed and Herbie Hide. He is also the former Commonwealth lightweight champion, WBO Inter-Continental lightweight champion, and WBA International lightweight champion.
Let us cross our fingers and see who will win between Pacquiao and Mayweather. If Mayweather wins, nothing will change, he still remain the unbeatable boxer and Manny remains the seven belt title holder. If he loses, then he will have to look for a worthy opponent, perhaps Chris Tucker can be a mighty contender for Mayweather, he is the fastest mouth Holliwood has ever had anyway
