Firepower- Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao- So it's official, Finally!! The all action war between Cotto and Pacquiao is set. From the e-mails that I have read so far, it appears that most Diamondboxing readers believe that Pacquiao is going to smash Cotto. What do I think? Well, I strongly feel that Pacquiao must do his work going in and out as he did against De La Hoya, do not allow Cotto to get set. For Cotto to win, now this all depends on his conditioning, I mean if making 145 didn't totally drain him, I feel that if Cotto has no problem or has very little problem making the 145 limit that any plan that Pacquiao has could get toasted. A flush shot from a strong Cotto can very well change any Pacquiao plan, everyone has a plan until they get hit. Here's to an electrifying, exciting night on November 14th. Firepower.

Juan Manuel Lopez- Speaking of Firepower, wouldn't be huge if Juan Manuel Lopez could somehow be added to the card? Against who? How about Celestino Caballero? Or how about staying on the Puerto Rican vs. Filipino theme and doing a dangerous Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rey Bautista fight? Wow.. From what I hear, Juan Manuel Lopez may fight Rogers Mtagwa in late September, Mtagwa is never in a dull fight, but I feel that right now Juan Manuel Lopez is the brightest young star in the sport so why not make it brighter by putting him on the biggest fight card of the year..
