“Manny Pacman Pacquiao”

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao Vs. Miguel Cotto : And The Winner Is...Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs), of General Santos City, Philippines, has won six world titles in as many different weight divisions ranging from 112 to 140 pounds, cementing the Filipino national hero’s status as the sport’s pound-for-pound champion. His performance in 2008 was described as “Henry Armstrongesque,” winning world titles at 130 and 135 pounds with victories over Juan Manuel Marquez and David Diaz, respectively, and knocking out and retiring Oscar De La Hoya at 147 pounds to finish the trifecta. This year, he picked up where he left off last year – winning another world title in a new weight division — dealing defending junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton a one-punch second-round knockout last May 2 for his 10th consecutive victory.

“Miguel Cotto”

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao Vs. Miguel Cotto : And The Winner Is...Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs), from Caguas, Puerto Rico, has held a world title every year since 2004. Puerto Rico’s most exciting fighter, Cotto held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight crown from 2004-2006, successfully defending it six times before vacating it to capture the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title at the end of 2006, a title he held for nearly as long. He won his second welterweight title in February this year, knocking out Michael Jennings in the fifth round at Madison Square Garden to become the WBO welterweight champion. Notable scalps on Cotto’s belt include Sugar Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Pauli Malinaggi, and Demarcus Corley. Cotto’s last fight was the brutal split-decision victory over Joshua Clottey in New York last June 2009.
