Ok, what the heck is going on with Pacquiao?

I was looking through Boxrec yesterday and spotted that Pac is being lined up to fight early next year think they need to beat Cotto first

[JT Rock]

Pac is a pro, and comes in 100000% in shape for every fight, couple that with having one of the best trainers in the biz makes for a far fetched notion Pac all of a sudden is fuking about... This is going to be the hardest test of his career so I wouldnt buy into all the negative rumors...

As far as sparring and looking lackluster, if he is just getting back in the ring, he's going to be a bit rusty naturally. Give it a week or too and the rumor mill will start churning headlines like.... PAC knocks down Arthur Abraham in sparring, Pac took Vitali to school etc... Same ol fodder that goes along with Pac fights these days.

I expect nothing less than the sharpest and best conditioned Pacquiao and Cotto next month

[Nameless]

Personally, I have no insider and absolutely no reliable sources as to confirm or to infirm these rumors. Win or not that match, I still think that Roach was correct to want to train him as far as possible from distractions and I think that to train in a Land where you sit next to God is no good for the focus.

We've heard this so much for Manny's fights and it never comes to play a factor in the fights. I don't believe he wouldn't train hard for Cotto, this is the biggest challenge of his career, in possibly the biggest spotlight(or second biggest after facing ODLH). Roach says things are fine between them.

This is correct, I've heard these same rumors since he fought Barrera.
