Cotto and the Pacquiao Distraction

its possible that arum is using pac as a distraction for cotto so that clottey can beat cotto. that's all conspiracy bulllshi!t so don't take it seriously. I agree with u 100%...

yeah, but cotto wants to leave TR. If Bob gets Cotto a few good fights, then Cotto will forget all about the Margarito incident I think. If Arum can get Cotto a fight with Manny later on that both camps are happy with, Cotto will love Arum again. Cotto wants high profile fights. A fight with Manny or Floyd is what he lives for.

Yeah Clottey does not bring as much money as Cotto does. Bob would never turn away more $$$ hehe yeah, but cotto wants to leave TR.

The funny thing is he even RedK'd me. I lost 2 whole points!LOL :purity: *I HATE THAT*

Put your e-points where your mouth is.... I got 10K Cotto over Clottey, deal? The funny thing is he even RedK'd me. I lost 2 whole points!LOL

Why couldnt jones jr come back stronger =( His reflexes were gone. Age and abuse he did to himself brought Roy down. Roy was always a pure reflex and speed orientated fighter. Once that went, his big edge he once had over everyone was gone. He was suddenly very human and did not have the normal boxing fundamentals that he never needed to learn before.

Fighters Like Hearns, Holyfield, Darchinyan..I could go on and on, can not only come back after a devastating loss, but come back better. It all depends on the mindset. Cotto truly believes he was cheated against, so that fight will have no psychological bearing with him at all. The physical beatings heal, it is the phychological ones that some fighters cannot get past. Why couldnt jones jr come back stronger =(

Cotto had enuf to live down wit the unc drama. Overlookin Clottey on top of that is str8 foolish. Sumthin just tells me Clottey got this shit locked down.

Look at how beaten Cotto was at the end of that fight he looked like a lost puppy dog ,once you get knocked out like that ,you are never quite the same as a fighter,Cotto is still good but he is not on the elite level anymore,Mosley Mayweather would both beat him soundly in fact i think Clottey will beat him.

cotto is damaged goods plaster hands ruined him beat him down like a prostitute. I think people's opinions will change after next month on Cotto being a "shot" or "damaged" fighter.

I have noticed Cotto make a lot of statements as of late regarding his wishes to join the Manny Manhunt. What has me concerned is whether or not he is keeping focus on Clottey. It feels to me like he is looking past Clottey. This scares me a bit because Clottey is going to be ready and willing to make a huge statement and Cotto will need to bring his a game to beat him. Looking past Clottey could be a huge mistake. What are your thoughts? There's an interview posted where he states the focus right now is with Clottey and Clottey alone. He merely said if the Pacquiao fight presents itself after then they'll see what's up. But I think the media blow it up out bigger than what it might really be right now.

Absolutely. It's a great fight, a 50/50 type fight. Whoever wins will have earned it no doubt. If Cotto is his best, he will solve Clottey's defense and thread the needle. It will not be easy for him, but I think he will time Clottey very well and then discourage him.

Looking past Clottey could be a huge mistake. What are your thoughts? My thoughts are very much like yours. Think about how ray leonard probably thought hed just walk all over terry norris, you cant say leonard probably didint have even bigger plans after he came back for that one. Im not saying cotto is an ass like leonard was, but i am saying that *gasp* cotto should do a mayweather and just say "Im here to talk about clottey not pac". Thats probably one of the only mayweather examples ill ever say cotto should follow. You motivate a guy when you overlook him.

I expect Cotto to be in great shape against Clottey. Clottey will be a very tough fight for him though. Clottey winning would not surprise me.

OK that is re-assuring for sure. He will have to be on his A game to get past Clottey. It is going to be a tough long night in my eyes. Both of them will be earning their paychecks. Absolutely. It's a great fight, a 50/50 type fight. Whoever wins will have earned it no doubt.

You should read Cotto's comments....the ones reported by this site a few hours ago. When asked about Pac all he says is that he knows the possibility is there, but he's focusing on Clottey. Most of the Cotto/Pac stuff going around is from Arum and Pac's people, Cotto has hardly said a word himself. OK that is re-assuring for sure. He will have to be on his A game to get past Clottey.
