Manny Pacquiao's next fight will be against three-time world champion Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas in November.

Filipino Pacquiao, has won six world titles in as many different weight divisions, while Puerto Rico's Cotto is the WBO welterweight world champion.

Promoter Bob Arum, who represents both fighters said: "Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto have reached an agreement to fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

"I'm really excited because it's a real fight. These are two real warriors."

Pacquiao has risen to the top of the pound-for-pound rankings over the past 19 months thanks to victories in four different weight divisions. 606: DEBATE
Give us your thoughts on Pacquiao's next opponent


He beat Juan Manuel Marquez (super-featherweight), David Diaz (lightweight), Oscar de la Hoya (welterweight) and most recently Ricky Hatton (light-welterweight) in May.

Cotto was in action more recently, narrowly defeating Ghana's Joshua Clottey by split decision at New York's Madison Square Garden last month.

Arum added: "Whichever way this fight goes, I think it's going to be a classic because of the way these guys fight. There where will be a lot of engagement.

"They're great fighters. Cotto and Pacquiao are gutty guys. If you want blood and action and excitement, this is the fight."

And watch Prettyboy run for the hills when talk of a fight with manny comes up again,it'll be excuse after excuse & if that doesn't work he'll price himself out of the fight.

Cotto wasn't lucky to win his last fight at all - He fully deserved to win it. The other guy was possibly the dirtiest fighter I've ever watched in my life - He was like the Drogba of Boxing lol.

Even Cotto's loss is scandelous when you read into his opponent and his conreate padding - It should be wiped off.

That said, Manny is in a class of his own right now - Should be a good fight all the same, I really like Cotto.

Gina Carano in the avator? nice...


Good match up but I don't think Pacman will be troubled much.. As Tams said he is in a class of his own and I can't wait for Manny Vs Mayweather!!
