Two months more to go before the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight at Las Vegas. It's getting exciting because after their promotional tour, both boxing champs are on their way for extensive training.

In a presscon, Cotto said, "I am not Dela Hoya. I am not Hatton. I am Miguel Cotto and you know what Miguel Cotto can do." Well, let's see if he can live up to that confident remark.
