LAS VEGAS (AP)—Manny Pacquiao’s speed and power were way too much for Miguel Cotto’s heart.

Pacquiao put on yet another dominating performance Saturday night, knocking down Cotto twice and turning his face into a bloody mess before finally stopping him at 55 seconds of the 12th round.

The Filipino star used his blazing speed and power from both hands to win his seventh title in seven weight classes and cement his stature as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Cotto took such a beating that his face was a river of red from the fury of Pacquiao’s punches but he refused to quit even as his corner tried to throw in the towel after the 11th round.

Trainers Floyd Mayweather Sr., Freddie Roach exchange verbal jabs before Pacquiao-Hatton

In preparation for the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton junior welterweight championship fight May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, feuding trainers Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Freddie Roach continue to slug it out for the best pound-for-pound title in their profession.

It's almost as much fun as the matchup in the ring.

The bad blood got spilled again in the pre-fight media gatherings leading up to "The Battle of East and West" on HBO pay-per-view ($49.95) next month.

A special four-tier trophy standing more than 5 feet tall, with the inscription "No. 1 Pound for Pound Best Trainer in the World," was unveiled Monday at a Hollywood red-carpet news conference to promote the fight. It prompted both trainers to up the ante in their long-raging war of words.

As usual, Mayweather, of Grand Rapids, belittled Roach.

"They've got Roach in the hall of fame. He should be in the hall of shame," he told the international media. "Let's tell the truth like it is: You see Freddie Roach training and you see me training, it's night and day. Don't even compare. Don't even come close. Freddie Roach is a joke. And that's why I say his name is Freddie 'The Joke Coach' Roach, as far as I'm concerned.

Roach didn't hesitate to fire back.

He, after all, recently was named 2008 Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America -- for an unprecedented third time.

"Floyd can read some good poems. That he's all good at that I know of. What has Floyd Sr. achieved? His son's a natural-born fighter. His brother, Roger, trained him anyway. Floyd never trained his son for a world title fight," he said. "He tells me he's the greatest (trainer), but what has he done?

"He trained Oscar De La Hoya after Oscar has already won four world titles," he added, for emphasis. "Floyd is a legend in his own mind."

The feud flared up again during a private media luncheon.

The animosity between the rival trainers stems from when De La Hoya fired Mayweather in 2007 and hired Roach to prepare him for a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

A transcript of their latest verbal exchange Monday, captured by Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times, appeared on BoxingScene.com. Some of the highlights:

Mayweather Sr.: My man is all those good things we were talking about. And then you went over to Freddie 'The Joke Coach' Roach.

Roach: Please change that. Get a new line. That one's old.

Mayweather Sr.: It's old Freddie, but it's got to be used because you is a roach. You is a joke, Roach.

Roach: You were the greatest. Just shut up.

Mayweather Sr.: Freddie, don't get upset. We are all just here talking. I know I get up under your skin, don't worry about it.

Roach: Can I borrow some of your rings?

Mayweather Sr.: You can buy them. Sure you can.

Roach: I can't afford them.

Mayweather Sr.: You can't afford them? We both (got) a lot of money. Is that what you're trying to say. It's like the stupid thing you said before. You are in the Hall of Fame. No, you belong in the hall of shame.

Roach: I'm in the hall of fame. Are you?

Mayweather Sr.: I have to stand up when I hear a guy like you is in the hall of fame. You have to be joking me. Everybody knows that you are a joke. You know that you don't belong in the hall of fame. You know the old guy that died, Eddie Futch. I'm saying that because you didn't get in the hall of fame yourself.

Roach: Why aren't you (in there)?

Mayweather Sr.: You didn't get in the hall of fame yourself. You don't know nothing. We all know that you're punch drunk anyway.

Roach: And you're not? And you're not?

The report concludes with Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, interrupting the affair: "Alright, we are going to put that on the undercard."

Hilarious stuff.

Perhaps more entertaining is what'll happen if Hatton defeats Pacquiao and lures Mayweather Jr. out of retirement for a rumored megafight in November.

Imagine the verbal sparring match between trainers Floyd Mayweather Sr. and his estranged brother, Roger, who replaced him in corner and helped guide "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather's rise to the title of pound-for-pound king.

If that happens, it'll be a Mayweather three-for-all leading up to that contest.

PACQUIAO ENTERS 5TH WEEK OF TRAINING (WITH PHOTOS)

Los Angeles, CA.:- As promised, here is my Wednesday report from the Pacquiao training camp at the Wildcard Gym.

I purposely got to the gym a whole lot earlier just so I can catch up with the training of Gerry Penalosa who comes to the Wildcard Gym way ahead of the Pacman.

Gerry came in at exactly 11:30am and immediately got on with the business of getting ready for his April 25th date with Juan Manuel Lopez in Puerto Rico.

With 24 days still to go before that fateful day, Gerry is already looking very sharp. In fact, one of the pundits at the gym stated that he looks so ready that he can fight even if his match with Lopez is done tomorrow.

Gerry sparred four rounds with a Filipino-American boxer they called Diamond.

He is a 130 pounder and had been boxing for six years and taller than Penalosa.

The young man gave a good account of himself but of course he was no match for the defensive strategist in Penalosa. He managed to sneak in a few good right hooks but he ate a lot of leather in return.

Then the Pacman came in way pass two o’clock. Apparently, he run up the hills of Griffith Park earlier in the morning and didn’t have time to get ready in time. Besides, he apparently wanted to finish some business before he came to the gym.

But as soon as he got to the gym, which incidentally was cleared out of people not connected to the Team and to HBO by security chief Rob Peters, he proceeded to the dressing room to changed.

His initial tasks were stretching exercises with Alex Ariza to get him warmed up.

Following that procedure which lasted about 20 minutes, he donned his sparring gloves assisted by Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri and climbed up the ring to do the punch mitts with Freddie Roach.

What was supposed to be a 10 round deal turned out to be 12 at first, then Pacquiao asked for more so they ended up doing 16 rounds.

All during the procedure, they were strategizing and rehearsing their battle plans in anticipation of what Ricky Hatton and Mayweather will come up on May 2nd.

Then the Pacman went on to do the single and the double speed bags followed by shadow boxing and the rest of the usual routine.

The crew from HBO’s 24/7 filmed the whole training regimen of Pacquiao.

After Pacman was done, Dennis Laurente of the Elorde Gym in Paranaque came up to do his thing. He was ably assisted by Buboy Fernandez with the punch mitts.

Bernabe Concepcion came along too. Although his fight with Steven Luevano has been called off, Concepcion appears upbeat and continued to do his part. “I am hoping they will find another fighter,” he said to this writer. “The promoter tells me that we should know in a week or two,” he added.

Concepcion worked with Freddie Roach and it was amazing to see Roach do some more punch mitts with him almost right after the grueling 16 rounds with Pacquiao. Truly, the man is a work-horse and a marvelous trainer.

Also spotted on the ring sweating it out were Bobby Pacquiao and Rodel Mayol.

Both of them indicated that they have no immediate schedules but they are keeping in shape just in case something comes along.

A couple of large boxes of shoes and training outfits, jackets and t-shirts were delivered to the gym. A quick perusal of the stuff revealed that the brand name was different from the usual ones we see with Team Pacquiao. But just the same, they were gifts to the Team and they were graciously accepted.

Also spotted at the Wildcard Gym today was the basketball varsity team from the University of the East headed by Coach Lawrence Chongson. They are in town to do a basketball camp in the San Fernando Valley area and then will compete against other teams in Las Vegas in about two weeks.

Hatton’s got no defense — Roach

Day in and day out, trainer Freddie Roach just couldn’t seem to understand why fight fans keep on asking him why he thinks Manny Pacquiao will get past Ricky Hatton as though the British is just a mere speck on the road and not a roadblock that some aficionados love to portray him to be.

“Hatton gets hit easily and he’s got no defense,” Roach told the Bulletin Friday from the Wild Card Boxing Club, site of Pacquiao’s training camp for the May 2 battle with Hatton at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“Manny is way much better than Hatton. I just can’t see Manny losing the fight,” said Roach, who believes Pacquiao will get the job done in three rounds or less.

“I am more confident in saying that Manny will beat Hatton than when he fought (Oscar) De La Hoya,” said Roach, who presided over another heated eight-round sparring session involving Pacquiao against hot welterweight prospect Raymond Serrano of Philadelphia and rugged lightweight Urbano Antillon.

“Eight rounds of good and hard rounds and Manny just keeps on getting better and better and I am happy where he’s at right now,” said Roach.

Still, Roach wants to instill in Pacquiao’s mind that he cannot afford to relax against Hatton.

“Getting his back on the ropes would be the biggest mistake (that Manny will make),” said Roach, when reminded that in one of the workouts with Antillon, Pacquiao allowed his sparmate to pound away as though he was a punching bag.

“He’s getting bored that’s why he does that,” said Roach, noting however that Pacquiao will be on his guard next week with the arrival of Mike Alvarado, an unbeaten junior-welter from Denver, Colorado.

Alvarado holds a 25-0 record with 18 knockouts and is fighting underneath the Pacquiao-Hatton show.

Roach stressed that Pacquiao just cannot elect to stay stationary against Hatton, who thrives against fighters who stand still and trade at close range.

Under Roach’s plans, Pacquiao will go eight rounds on Saturday “then go nine rounds next and ten rounds before going 12 rounds (sometime in the third week of this month).”

Manny Pacquiao Promises 'Once in a Lifetime Fight' vs. Ricky Hatton

In a telephone interview with FanHouse, Manny Pacquiao, widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, talked about his dominant win over Oscar De La Hoya, his upcoming fight with Ricky Hatton (Saturday, May 2 on HBO pay-per-view) and what it's like to be the biggest star in the Philippines.

Michael David Smith: We're a few months removed from your fight with Oscar De La Hoya. When you look back on that fight, are you surprised at how thoroughly you dominated him?
Manny Pacquiao: Well, before the fight I believed, of course, I was going to beat Oscar -- but not in an easy fight like that. I am surprised that it was an easy fight.

Most people consider you the best boxer in the world. Do you consider yourself the best boxer in the world?
I don't want to think about that, whether I'm the best in the world. I want to focus on my career and give a good show in my fight with Ricky Hatton.

The person who was considered the best boxer in the world before you was Floyd Mayweather Jr. Do you think Floyd is really retired, or will we see him in the ring again?
I think he's going to fight again. He's not really retired.

Do you think you will fight him some day?
That's possible. Maybe after this fight. I heard from Floyd Jr.'s camp that he's coming back to the ring.

So people around Floyd have told you that you should expect him to return?
Yes, that's what I heard from the people around Floyd, that he's not really retired.

Do you think he would want a tune-up fight against an easier opponent or would he jump right in and fight you if you beat Ricky Hatton?
For me -- if I'm Floyd -- I would fight a tune-up fight and then fight me. That's for me, but I don't know what his plan is. He might want to fight me right away.

Obviously, before you can fight Floyd you'll need to beat Ricky Hatton. What kind of challenge does Ricky Hatton pose to you?
Ricky Hatton is a strong fighter, a good fighter. He's the top guy, and he's never lost at 140 pounds. I would never underestimate Hatton. I consider this fight the toughest fight of my career. I'm not looking past this fight.


Have you watched a lot of tape of Hatton's fights to prepare?
Yes, I've watched his last few fights. I study every opponent I fight, and as I train for Hatton I look for certain techniques that I can apply to this fight.

You've fought everywhere from strawweight (106 pounds) at the start of your professional career to welterweight (147 pounds) against De La Hoya. What do you think is the ideal weight class for you?
I'm comfortable at 140 pounds. I weigh 148 right now.

You're the most popular athlete in the Philippines, but is there a down side to your fame? Do you wish you could just walk down the street and be left alone?
I wish I could. I wish I could. But that would never happen. Especially right now. I can't walk down the street in the Philippines.

You're 30 years old, you've been boxing professionally since you were 16, and you have 53 professional fights under your belt. How much longer will you box?
I don't want to fight much longer. I'm planning right now to retire soon.

What will you do after you retire?
My plan is to run for office.

I know you've run for office in the past as well. What is it about politics that appeals to you?
I want to run for office because I want to help people. I grew up in poverty, and I want to see other people have better lives. I think I can improve the situation for a lot of people.

I've heard that you are recording your own entrance music, and against Hatton you'll come out to a song that you sing yourself.
Yes, I have a new album and I'm going to use my song as my ring entrance on May 2.

Will you get more involved in music when you retire from boxing?
Yes. I love to sing. I'd like to have a concert soon after my boxing career ends.

What would you like fans to know about you?
Just that they should watch my upcoming fight on May 2 against Ricky Hatton. It's going to be a great, great fight, a once in a lifetime fight.

Manny Pacquiao lives the dream as Ricky Hatton awaits

Manny Pacquiao slipped quietly out of The Grosvenor House Hotel on London's swanky Park Lane to meet the dawn chorus at Hyde Park, before boarding a train for Manchester to be greeted by a different chorus altogether: 'There's only one Ricky Hatton' boomed out in the now-familiar chanted monotony, with its ubiquitous brass band accompaniment.

"Can't they get a new song?" quizzed Pacquiao's veteran promoter Bob Arum.

Four thousand Mancunians waiting at the Trafford Shopping Centre trumpeted Hatton's popularity as the two fighters came face to face for the first time.

For the record, the crowd included a sizeable Filipino section, too.

The 30-year-old Filipino, a world champion in four weight divisions from flyweight to welterweight, widely-regarded as the world's No 1 pound for pound prize fighter, cut a dapper figure in the public waiting room of Euston Station yesterday morning, accompanied by promoter Arum, American trainer Freddie Roach, and his team of advisers.

The Sunday Telegraph gained exclusive access to travel with the fighter as he prepared to meet local hero Hatton for the first time. Pacquiao arrived in the UK on Friday, his first time here.

It says a great deal about his interest in England, that he named his fourth child 'Queen Elizabeth', and had urged the ambassador of The Philippines in London to try to obtain an audience with The Queen. Pacquiao's eyes lit up yesterday when your correspondent informed him that Buckingham Palace was less than a ten minute walk from Park Lane.

If Pacquiao's boxing skills are remarkable, so too is his life. Born in Kibawe, on the island of Mindanao, he was a street urchin as a child who slept in a cardboard box, surviving the poverty that kills many.

Today he is seen as a saviour by millions of Filipinos living in privation. In his home town, General Santos City, in South Cotabato, where he lives with his wife Jinkee, and their four children, he requires 24-hour armed guard and intense security.

His aspirations to become a politician when he retires from the ring have intensified the attention on him at home. Outside his home, a queue of citizens forms day and night to be 'gifted' by the boxer. Think sporting popularity of Beckham, and add the political aspirations of Cameron. It is a heady mixture.

"He is generous almost to a fault," said one of his team. "He is [italicize 'is'] a one-man charity."

Pacquiao told The Sunday Telegraph: "My dream was to come here to England and it has come true. I also have the desire to take the light-welterweight title, and it's a big honour to be in another fight which the fans want to see. Hatton's style is very good, he's strong, and for me it will be a big fight, and a crowd pleaser."

"Every time I fight, I have to win because millions of Filipinos are hoping for victory. Every time I go home, after my fights, I do activities to help the people - and that's a part of my political career. It is incredibly hard to be a politician and popular, but that is to my advantage in running for office," explained Pacquiao, totally serious.

Jeng Gacal, Pacquiao's lawyer, explained: "Manny is a cultural icon, and a unifying force in the Philippines, the epitome of the American dream. He has totally entered the consciousness of every Filipino. The entire country looks at him, wants him to do something, change something. He has genuine kindness and caring for other human beings, and he wishes to use that in his political career."

Somehow, that kindness will be spared Ricky Hatton when the two fighters meet in the ring in Las Vegas on May 2. The fistic meeting has all the makings of fight of the year.

MANNY PACQUIAO PRE-DEPARTURE STATEMENT

PhilBoxing.com
I am looking forward to the promotional tour that will be held in London and Manchester this weekend as I have received tons of emails from English boxing fans, who are one of the most passionate in the world.

Even if it’s going to be hostile territory for me--as Ricky Hatton comes from this boxing-crazy country--I know that I will enjoy every minute of my brief stay there as I have heard a lot of great things about England, its notable people, its amazing culture and its proud history.

After my trip to England, I will proceed to Los Angeles so I could kick off my preparation for Ricky Hatton, who is one of the world’s most exciting fighters. Hatton is a very dangerous opponent as I have seen most of his high-caliber fight on video and you cannot take somebody like him lightly.

This is going to be a big challenge for me. This early, I am confident in saying that I will train harder for Hatton and I won’t be surprised if I end up in a much better shape than when I fought the legendary Oscar De La Hoya last December.

Once I report for training camp at the Wild Card under my very capable trainer Freddie Roach, my sole focus will be training. I will be eating, breathing and living Ricky Hatton from the day I start my training camp.

I assure fight fans that when I get into the ring on May 2, I am going to show my best--as always--and ours will be an explosive and exciting fight.

And most importantly, I am dedicating this important fight to my beloved countrymen and to all boxing fans from around the world.

Manny Pacquiao
Boxing’s Pound-For-Pound King

Editor's Note: Pacquiao left Manila for London on board Cathay Pacific at 6:30 a.m. Friday.

Freddie Roach: “If Hatton goes toe-to-toe with Manny he’ll get knocked out!”

By FightFan.com Staff (20-Feb-2009)

Photo: Ace Freeman

FF: Freddie, what do you think about the style match up with Manny set to face Ricky Hatton?

FR: It’s great. You know Ricky comes to fight. He’s young, he’s vibrant, and he loves to fight. He believes in himself and he’s a tough guy. It’s going to be a very competitive fight and I think it’s a good style match up for Manny and I. Manny does very well with guys who come forward like Hatton does. It’s definitely a great match up… but we’re going to knock him out.

Freddie Roach on Pacquiao vs. Hatton:

FF: Freddie now that the fight is set, and Manny Pacquiao will face Ricky Hatton… can you give us your thoughts on the style match up in this fight?

FR: It’s great. You know Ricky comes to fight. He’s young, he’s vibrant, and he loves to fight. He believes in himself and he’s a tough guy. It’s going to be a very competitive fight and I think it’s a good style match up for Manny and I. Manny does very well with guys who come forward like Hatton does. It’s definitely a great match up.

FF: Hatton is a very strong fighter. How will Manny deal with that strength?

FR: We’re not going to deal with his strength. We’re not going to fight him on the inside. We’re going to fight smart and box this guy. I don’t think Hatton’s strength will come in to play in this fight.

FF: Ricky really likes to work out of the clinch and makes things very physical. Will Manny’s footwork be a big asset in this fight to counter act that?

FR: Of course. You know we’re planning on dealing with it. We’re not going to rely on the referee or anything like that. We will definitely have an answer for it.

FF:How would you rate Hatton’s power? He is a strong guy and a strong puncher. Is there any concern there, maybe with Hatton’s body punching?

FR: He’s a decent puncher and he’s very good with attacking to the body. He’s a good puncher but we’re not going to stand in front of this guy and exchange with him. We’re going to fight a smart fight like we did with Oscar.

FF: If there are moments where they end up standing toe-to-toe do you like Manny’s chances even though it might not be the smartest thing to do?

FR: If Hatton stands toe-to-toe with us, we’ll knock him out.

FF:Hatton is a younger guy, very strong… do you think he can still pull the trigger?

FR: Oh yea… but I also don’t think he’s the same fighter he was before he lost to Mayweather. I think the Mayweather fight took something out of him and that he looked pretty shaky in the Lazcano fight. He did look very good in the Malignaggi fight, but Paulie looked really bad in that fight for some reason. We’re not that style of fighter though.

I’ve been watching tape of Ricky, I’ve studied the Lazcano fight and I have his last ten bouts on video. We’ll study him thoroughly and see what kind of game plan we can come up with. My new assistant Michael Moorer (former world heavyweight champion) is going to help with training Manny for this fight. We should be okay.

FF:Where do you think Hatton ranks up with the other fighters Manny has faced?

FR: He’s definitely up there… you know the top three guys were probably Morales, Marquez and Oscar and Ricky’s a world champion and that doesn’t happen by accident. Ricky’s a tough guy who likes to fight - and we like to fight - so it should be good.

FF:Did you notice any improvements with Hatton training under Mayweather Sr.?

FR: Oh yes! Tremendous improvements! (Laughs) Give me a break!

FF:I thought if anything else he looked a lot more like his old self…

FR: No comment.

FF:Okay… moving right along. What weight do you want to see Manny enter the ring at for this fight?

FR: The contracted weight for the fight is 140, and I’d like to see Manny at 147 in the ring on fight night.

FF:We’re going to put you on the spot. What’s the prediction for this fight?

FR: We’ll knock Hatton out.

FF:Freddie as always, thanks for this.

FR: My pleasure.

Pacman in for tough fight–Roach

By: Jun Medina, Special Correspondent ; Manila Times Online

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao will be in for a tough, competitive match when he fights British junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton on May 2, according to Pacquiao’s renowned trainer Freddie Roach.

Roach, who has trained 17 world champions, said he is devising a new game plan for the Hatton fight, which will be completely different from the strategy used in the Filipino icon’s last fight against Oscar De La Hoya.

Hatton is known for holding his opponents and crowding them in the inside to land his vaunted body punches. And unlike De La Hoya who was 35 years old when he fought Pacquiao, Hatton is only 30 years old.

Some boxing scribes also see Hatton improving under the watch of Floyd Mayweather Sr., who has succeeded in polishing Hatton’s defense at least for the Briton’s recent fight against Paulie Malignaggie.

However, Pacquiao’s camp is devising a game plan for the Hatton fight.

“We have a great game plan and look to fight the perfect fight again,” Roach told boxing columnist Scott Dryden of People’s Defender, an Ohio-based weekly. “If we do [execute the perfect fight] he [Hatton] will get knocked out in the later rounds. It’s going to be a good fight up until that point.”

Pacquiao, the reigning pound-for-pound best boxer in the world, is guaranteed $12 million, his biggest paycheck, for the megabuck fight to be held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

Roach said Pacquiao-Hatton would be an exciting fight because both boxers pack power in their punches and that they “come to fight.”

Roach, a three-time trainer of the year, said one thing he likes about Pacquiao is his discipline and focus while training for a match.

“Pacquiao is a machine. From day one his work ethic was unbelievable,” Roach said of his prized student. “He is the hardest working fighter I’ve ever seen.”

He recalled that while training for the Oscar De La Hoya fight, Mike Tyson dropped by the gym told Roach to slow Pacquiao down because they had a fight in a couple of days.

“I said, ‘Mike this is slow,’” Roach said. “Manny is just a machine.”

“Manny averaged 44 rounds per day. He runs a lot basically trains like he fights; no caution. He really works hard,” Roach said.

Roach said he expects Manny to report to the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood on February 24 as he and Hatton are scheduled to kick off the super fight’s promotional tour Hatton’s hometown, Manchester in the United Kingdom.

They will also promote the fight in London before flying back to the United States with stops in major cities, like New York and Los Angeles.
