On Oct. 5, 2009 Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain, the famous trainer to Juan Marquez and many other famous boxers gave his prediction to the Pacquiao Cotto fight. He thinks that Cotto will lose the fight hands down because Pacquiao is quicker and much tougher. Also Nacho thinks that Cotto has not yet recovered from his last lost at the hands of a fighter by the name of Antonio Margarito. Beristain went on to say that Pacquiao is a very good technical fighter with lots of skilled moves and is now a complete boxer with speed and power. Now with Pacquiao being called the pound for pound best fighter in the world he has a bigger than life match up to go with all the hype. This is going to be a good fight because both of these guys are arguably two of the most exciting fighters in the world to watch. This is going to be a fight not with alot of dancing and moving around more of a battle between the wills of who is wants it more punch for punch.
