Pacquiao-Cotto ‘Post-Fight Quotes’
I didn’t know from where the punches were coming. -Miguel Cotto
I did my best. I just fought the best fighter I ever fought. I hope the fans enjoyed a great fight. -Miguel Cotto
(On taking punches) I heard that he’s [Cotto] stronger than me. I wanted to test his power. I wanted to get hit. -Manny Pacquiao
(On taking punches) I tried to pretend that it’s not going to hurt, but it really hurt…I was trying to control the fight “in my mind.” -Manny Pacquiao
(On winning 7 titles) If you believe in God, keep praying, nothing is impossible. -Manny Pacquiao
He [Pacquiao] hit a lot harder than we expected and he was a lot stronger than we thought. -Joe Santiago, Cotto Trainer
I was like a tiger. Cotto just kept running. -Manny Pacquiao
I respect him [Cotto] as a fighter. He’s different from other fighters because he’s respectful. He’s also strong and he has lots of power. -Manny Pacquiao
It was a tough fight. I’m pretty sure the people in the Philippines are celebrating now and they’re very happy. -Manny Pacquiao
(On making history) This is the last weight division for me. It’s history for me and more importantly, a Filipino did it. -Manny Pacquiao
He’s [Pacquiao] the greatest fighter of his era, for sure. 100 percent. -Freddie Roach

A journeyman prizefighter in his younger years, Roach has fashioned a potential Hall of Fame career, working out of his famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood with his most accomplished pupil, pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, among other sluggers. Roach’s own story includes a troubled childhood and a battle with Parkinson’s disease today.
