Chris Arreola (Heavyweight Contender) I have to go with Pacquiao. Cotto is a great exciting fighter and all that and it has nothing to do with the Margarito fight and people say that took a lot out of him. Pacquiao is the faster fighter and I’m sure he will find a way to win the fight. Nothing against Cotto, I think he is a great fighter, but styles make fights and I think with Pacquiao’s style, he’s going to beat Cotto.
James Bone-Crusher Smith (Former WBA Heavyweight Champion, Fought Tyson & Ruddock) I like Pacquiao. He’s busy and he can punch and I like his style.
Michael Dokes (Former WBA Heavyweight Champion, fought Bowe, Holyfield & Ruddock) If I have to take a shot at, I’ll take Pacquiao. I’m going with Pacquiao.
Lloyd Price (American Musician who Introduced Don King to Ali & the Boxing Buisiness) Pacquiao, he’s a better fighter.
Yoel Judah (3-Time World Kick-Boxing Champ & Father/Trainer of Zab Judah ) I like Pacquiao. He’s faster and the better all around fighter.
Willie Indio Chunke (Professional Cornerman & Cutman) I believe Cotto will take Pacquiao, he’s one tough dude.
Richard Steele (Promoter & Hall of fame Referee) I like Pacquiao because I think he is busier and I know the biggest fight in history will be Pacquiao and Mayweather so they both have to win.
Alex Ramos (Former Middleweight Contender & New York Amateur Star) Miguel is a strong mother f-cker, but I think if he can get his jab working and then throw combinations when Cotto gets close to keep him off, that Pacquiao will win.
Notes: Favorite Quotes A few months before Wilfredo Benitez’s fight with Sugar Ray Leonard, his mother commented, “All he [Wilfredo] wants to do is hang out with a bunch of women.” Chris Arreola’s trainer Henry Ramirez recently commented, “All the haters that write stuff about Chris on the internet would be the first ones to suck his d—k to get an autograph if they saw him at a [fight] card.” I’m still going with Andre Ward in his fight with Kessler. In Vegas Cotto is a 3-1 underdog against Pacquiao. Personally I don’t think Miguel Cotto should be a 3-1 dog against anybody in the world at or below 147 pounds. UCLA barely won their exhibition game against Concordia, a small college with a student body of about 1200 students. It’s going to be a long basketball season for Bruin fans. I just hope they can win 20 games and go to the tournament. I’m happy that USC lost to Oregon . It was getting ridiculous, I mean they won the Pac-10 conference seven years in a row. The funny thing is people actually have the audacity to criticize the program after a couple of losses. I won’t defend them because I’m still hoping they get penalized for the Reggie Bush and Mayo scandals. Thompson Boxing is becoming a farm house for world championship caliber fighters. Timothy Bradley, Chris Arreola, and Yohnny Perez all came up on their shows. I thought the Perez fight was close and that the knock-down sealed it for him. Agbeko deserved to get knocked down because he was trying to cry foul and weasel his way into an extra-point and it backed fire on him. I’ve been a high-school teacher for nine years and the students have not talked about boxing this much since I started teaching and that’s a good sign. There is a life in the game and if HBO can duplicate the Super-Six Tourney, there will be a lot more growth.
