Pacquiao Down Hatton

Saturday, May 2, 2009 - It was two rounds of brutal action and a two round blowout for Filipino sensation Manny “The Pacman” Pacquiao as he walked through, around, and all over Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (45-2 with 32 KOs). It was a crowning achievement for Pacquiao who became the first man to beat Hatton.

Miguel Cotto is now the logical next opponent for Pacquiao!

Apparently a Pacquiao vs. Cotto clash for this fall became the frunt runner while Miguel Cotto was still engaged in combat with Joshua Clottey last Saturday night in New York. Manny Pacquiao’s presence loomed large at ringside for the bout and he sat next to Top Rank boss Bob Arum.

Reports are now circulating that Pacquiao was impressed with Cotto’s fan base at Madison Square Garden, and evidently he saw something he liked watching Cotto at work. Arum has stated Pacquiao asked him to make a fight between the two star fighters while they sat watching the action. With Floyd Mayweather Jr. injured this week, Pacquiao vs. Cotto is now the most logical option for all involved.

It is highly unlikely Mayweather would opt to return off nearly two years of inactivity straight into the lion’s den against Pacquiao. With the Mayweather option now seemingly out of the equation for this fall, an all in-house Top Rank clash between Pacquiao and Cotto looks increasingly certain for Nov. 14 in Las Vegas. Arum has apparently received the green light from Manny, and reports are now circulating the fight is heavily in the works.

Despite all you read, it still remains uncertain Cotto’s nasty cut suffered last Saturday in combat will be fully healed in time, but for now the wheels do look as though they are in motion. Pacquiao vs. Cotto at a catch weight below 147 looks like it will be boxing’s biggest fight this fall.
