No excuses for Filipinos and Pac fans if he loses to Cotto?

Win or lose, Manny gets huge respect for even taking on Cotto. If Manny loses, the Philippines will mourn the loss, but it will be no real negative factor on Pacquiao's legacy, he already has a place among boxing's historical elite and a lock on the Boxing Hall of Fame. The fact that he is 12 lbs higher than his best weight taking on the best Welterweight of his era is an amazing accomplishment win or lose and it demands respect.
