NEW YORK, (AFP) – Manny Pacquiao expects his speed will make the difference over Miguel Cotto’s superior size in their November showdown, but the Puerto Rican fighter warned Thursday that “I’m not Ricky Hatton.”

Philippines star Pacquiao, boxing’s pound-for-pound king after beating Oscar de la Hoya in 2008, knocked out Britain’s Hatton with a devastating left hook last May, a blow Pacquiao called the best of his career.

“I’m not Oscar de la Hoya. I’m not Ricky Hatton. I’m Miguel Cotto. Everyone knows what Miguel Cotto is capable of doing,” Cotto said.

“I’m going to train the hardest in my career. I’m just trying to get myself fit enough to capitalize on any mistakes.”

“Pac-Man”, 49-3 with two drawn and 37 knockouts, will face the Puerto Rican star, 34-1 with 27 knockouts, on November 14 in Las Vegas in a welterweight showdown. A promotional tour for the fight launched Thursday at Yankee

Last week, I spilled my guts all over the screen, telling you about how I’d broken up with my boyfriend and ugly-crying, listening to torturous and depressing music, and considering the pros and cons of rather (ahem) involved goodbyes.

What I didn’t tell you then is that my emotional pain was manifesting itself physically. I was so nauseated, I had trouble eating enough. My sleep was restless and I woke many times during the night. I was a big ball of break-up mess. As much as I hated hearing my well-intentioned girlfriends tell me that time would heal all of these wounds (and why must girlfriends always say this?), they were right.
