Cotto: Confident over cut

Nothing impresses me. He has two arms and so do I. Things in life happen when they have to happen.

WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto has revealed that he has not been impressed by Manny Pacquiao's performances of late, despite him being regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter.

The two boxers are set to meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on November 14, in a fight to be promoted by Top Rank.

"Nothing impresses me. He has two arms and so do I. Things in life happen when they have to happen," Cotto told Primera Hora.

Cotto plans to return to training camp in three weeks ahead of the fight with Pacquiao, who impressively stopped Ricky Hatton back in May.

Weight issues

That win, as well as victory over Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jnr's initial retirement from the ring, saw Pac Man earn the tag as boxing's pound for pound champion.

Cotto, though, has no fears about taking the fight, even if it is at a catchweight of 145 pounds - two pounds less than he weighed in for his last outing

He added: "It doesn't matter if it takes place at 145 pounds. That was the weight we had said from the start. I will go up in weight by eight to 10 pounds (by fight night)."

Cotto suffered a serious cut during his recent win against Joshua Clottey which required 21 stitches above his left eye.

He insists, though, that the gash will not affect his build up for the fight - and is already healing well.

"The injury is already practically healed," said Cotto. "We are resting and then we are going to train for a good fight. The people knows how Miguel Cotto works."
