WBC President Jose Sulaiman has been called many names from crazy, obnoxious, to thief. I for one have never met the man so I can not really comment on any of that, what I will comment on is that call Don Jose whatever you like but one thing is for sure and that is that Sulaiman sure knows how to unveil a gem. The brand new WBC Diamond Belt is said to have been manufactured with something like 18 karat gold and the leather strap is also said to have the faces of Pacquiao and Cotto on each side with their respective flags next to them. All I have got to say to that is WOW… The look on Pacquiao’s mug on the mound today looked similiar to all-time steal king Ricky Henderson’s eyes when he had his eyes set on the next base to steal.
In winning that magnificent strap Pacquiao knows that he will have to go through fire to get it, Something tells me that Pacquiao is up to the task. I am certain that Pacquiao will train like a man possesed, Pacquiao knows that he must bring his heavy arsenal with him to beat the Caguas Crusher. Pacquiao must work in and out and use his speed to frustrate Cotto, I am sure that Freddie Roach already has a plan set for Pacquiao to follow. All that will be needed then is for the Pac-Man to execute and gobble up Cotto.
Pacquiao may have been in a joking mood today at the kickoff of the tour, but I assure you that Pacquiao has his eyes on the prize. Pacquiao realizes that his pound for pound title is also at stake, so with that being said, I am expecting to see the very best Manny Pacquiao come November 14. The speed, the footwork, the flurries, and that dynamic power of his will all be on display come fight night. Those weapons are all things to come, but today, today Pacquiao took one good look at the Diamond strap and Ricky Henderson’s look appeared, the jewel thief is here!!!
