Another Leather sucker! By Anthony 'Duljoman' Andales PhilBoxing.com Thu, 23 Jul 2009  Charleston, SC – Bottom line is that, only a Manuel can go toe to toe with another Manuel. Only a Manuel can withstand another Manuel. The “real” Manuel will eventually win against Miguel Cotto, the post Tito Trinidad, the new boxing superstar of Puerto Rico. No questions ask. For me one of the tops of this pound for pound will lose their coming fights. The inclination is, its gonna be the Moneyman who will lose his fight. The downbeats are all on Mayweather’s. Long layoffs, rusty, not on the proper mind sets, etc… all these will come out after his date with Manuel Marquez. People are salivating for Pacquiao–Mayweather fight, not so fast, it’s not gonna happen, because Marquez was knocking out people who never been knocked out. Marquez’s last two fights were equally or maybe more difficult fights than that of Manny’s. The only boxer who can give our Manny a run for his money is not the Moneyman, that man is Juan Manuel Marquez. He rallied on their first fight, like climbing from bottom of the "Dead Sea to the peaks of Mt. Everest”, coming from 3 knockdowns to almost win the fight, whew that’s courage and talent for me, and the second fight was equally gallant fight from Marquez, he won the fight from the press row we knew that, I compared scorecards with other press people, they have Marquez winning that fight, so do I (115-114). And do you think Mayweather can top that? No he can’t. Marquez is too smart for him and too hungry. Pacquiao – Cotto… Cotto is just a little bit bigger than a Lusa in the Philippines. Manny can e-rock him anytime of the day, especially in the evening. Roach chose Cotto in the first place, he never mentioned Mosley. Roach knows who are these fighters that are suckers of Manny’s leather. If Hatton cocks before he punch, watch Cotto how he double cocks. See how wide he throws his punches. Roach sees this, I know that. And let's examine Cotto’s last 2 fights, after that questionable loss to Antonio Margacheato, an unimpressive KO win against unheralded Jennings and slow start/ almost lost to Joshua Clottey. And of course we all know his feud against his former Uncle/Trainer Evangelista Cotto. These things will be reasons, will be factors for this biggest fight of the year (it’s way bigger than Hatton, coz he is more dreadful opponent). Cotto is still on his prime, he is 29 years old, but still he didn’t recover from Margarito’s beating. Before he could throw those wide hooks, Manny’s leather is already sucked as Roach mentioned. In other words, another Manuel fight happening first thing next year. And JMM will be a big draw because he will beat Mayweather. If he can withstand Manny’s storm, there is no question he can neutralize Floyd’s. HE WHO SURVIVES THE REAL NUMBER ONE, WILL DO BETTER AGAINST THE FAKE ONE. Ask Casamayor and Baby Bull. How about Mosley? Roach is a thinking Man, let’s make this Money first and face a real threat next. Make sense? Make sense? Ok give me a right, oops, I’ll give you the truth, not just right. OH!BEERTIME… Arum said that undercard will be spectacular, what’s your wishlist?... Donaire-Darchinyan II, Mayol-Calderon II, Tyson 4 rds, Khan-Prescott II, Banal-Concepcion II, Ortiz-Maidana II, DelaHoya-Trinidad II? You name it its gonna be spectacular… Arnel Pineda will sing this time?... hope Cotto’s fans will sing “There’s only one Miguel Cotto!” then sing no more… this fight will not be as big as Manny’s next one… Click here to view a list of other articles written by Anthony 'Duljoman' Andales.  |
