Pacquiao Orders Arum To Make Cotto Bout, Nov. 14

[KananKrus]

A Pac vs Cotto boxing match will put a tremenduous number of boxing fans anticipating this bout in a frenzy. What an absolutely promising classic match-up in the making!

Only thing is, this might fall short of a classic if and when a catchweight materialized. Might likewise fall short of... if it ends in an abortive fashion, say by cuts accidental or otherwise (As Cotto have bled a bit excessively the last few bouts). Too, it would not, if one gets knocked out much too early in the fight. This could very well be what would transpire, owing to both men, Paquiao and Cotto, equally having considerable lights-out power on both fists. (would very well be discredited as a mistake, a mismatch... exhibit Pac vs Hatton).

Only scenario that personally I will regret if it ever so happens, is if and when Pacquiao wins this duel in the fashion much like that of his last three fights (hopefully without the catchweight, or an acceptable one if so) when people will give excuses so long as the least props, a bare minimum shall be given the victor.

A tease is there now... Cotto was softened, shot after the the bricks episode, and etc...

This reaction, from supposedly very knowledgeable boxing people, is one response, almost unilateral from this pages, that is very difficult to comprehend without ascertaining a personality "bias" as its llikely origin. And if there is this bias, this hate going on, it spoils the sweetness of the victory.

You can't even satisfactorily celebrate, for it is inconspicuously disallowed when sour grapes is a plenty, and it is the order of the day!

I have read a few people that have assuredly will give props, provided that there is no catchweight, no weight drain edge, thanks! Fair and logical, but most importantly, decency on display.

However there will be the usual sort, personal in nature, venomous in form, biased in origination, and will only accord a superficial recognition to the PacMan. Baffling! to say the least, the guy is a recepient of FOTY from Boxing Writers Association of America! Twice!

Hope I am wrong with all this, and this apprehension is all unfounded.

And of course, first and foremost, hope that Pac wins, otherwise this is but a bunch of baloney.... a ranting nonesense! Seriously... is it?
