An unfamiliar name to most Manny Pacquiao fans, Rick Staheli, Pacquiao's trainer when he knocked out and dethroned Thailand's then superstar in boxing, Chatchai Sasakul in December 1998 warned Pacman that Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto is a "dangerous opponent".
Despite Cotto being a dangerous opponent, Staheli still believes Manny's superior skills and speed will prevail and he expects a Pacquiao victory for his 7th world title in as many divisions. According also to Staheli, Cotto might need to stalk Pacquiao and try to knock him out to win the fight as Pacquiao will use his boxing prowess, hand speed and foot work.
He also thinks Freddie Roach's game plan for Manny not to get hit is an indication that Roach respects Cotto's power.
