Simple question.
Would you call Miguel Cotto a bitch if he fights Pac at 144?
This question popped into my mind when I read post by a frequent poster on here would said it was a bitch move for Floyd to fight JMM at 144. I asked the poster(whos favorite fighter is Cotto)if he thought it was a bitch move if Cotto fights Pac at 144 and conviniently never recieved a response. I also asked the question again on a thread started by the same guy. Again I never got an answer.
So I want to hear from some other people what they think.
As for my opinion? I dont think it as a bitch move by either fighter. I like Cotto, PBF, JMM, and Pac and would love to see them all fight each other. Although Cotto is the biggest, followed by Mayweather, I believe JMM and Pac have the tools to keep the fights competitive and do have a legit shot to win.
I would favor Cotto over Pac at 144 or 147. I dont believe in calling great fighters bitches for fighting other great fighters despite their weights. they are proffessionals and klnow what they are getting into. And they are making a ton of money.
Right, dont take the biggest fight against the biggest draw in the sport. Especially considering he is P4P number 1 and is the Champ 1 division beneath you. Meeting him at a catch weight would be a totally bitch move.
NO.
I agree with no. Its funny how people dont understand why fights are actually made.
Nah, it aint as cut and dry as that.
First, Pac is proven at 140+, JMM aint.
Second, Cotto coming down to 144 will most likely be a hindrance. Floyd coming down to 144 will not, he can def make 140 without many problems. He said in an interview recently that he walks around at 147.
It's very different. But that being said, I don't really care to see the fight, I wanna see Cotto/Mosley 2.
So should we not give JMM a chance? Im mean he didnt call out Floyd or anything.
Again, if Cotto signs for the fight he knows what hes getting into.
Good point. If floyd is a bitch for fighting jmm at 144 then cotto is a bitch for fighting pac @ 144.
Either both are bitches or both aren't.
thats all im trying to say.
cotto should fight ww's but if other ww's can go down to 144 to fight lw or jww's then he can too if he wants to. if its a bitch move for cotto, its a bitch move for floyd, mosley and everybody else.
exactly these double standards are bullshit
If Cotto hadn't already fought Maragrito,Mosley and the other top fighters at welter then cherry picks on Pac at a catchweight of 144, I say yes....he's definitely a b*tch.
But he already fought the best at welter, so he gets a pass.
Nah, it aint as cut and dry as that.
First, Pac is proven at 140+, JMM aint.
Pac is proven @ 140 but not 147. Hatton was the lineal champ @ 140 and never lost there. The DLH prove that pac is a legit WW considering that DLH was not a true WW at the time.
Ur argument fails.
Second, Cotto coming down to 144 will most likely be a hindrance. Floyd coming down to 144 will not, he can def make 140 without many problems. He said in an interview recently that he walks around at 147.
It's very different.
Good point. But if ur point is true then cotto shouldn't even entertain a fight w/ pac.
But that being said, I don't really care to see the fight, I wanna see Cotto/Mosley 2.
Exactly, mosley/cotto for all the marbles @ WW is the fight that needs to be made
Yes..
Cotto should only worry about ..Margarito, Clottey, Mosley, Berto and Floyd Mayweather Jr...and THAT'S IT!..
Right, dont take the biggest fight against the biggest draw in the sport. Especially considering he is P4P number 1 and is the Champ 1 division beneath you. Meeting him at a catch weight would be a totally bitch move.
NO.
what ? Pacman is p4p number 1 right now, why would he be a bitch.
If it was a guy coming from Jr.Middleweight that would be something but not Welterweight
Good point. If floyd is a bitch for fighting jmm at 144 then cotto is a bitch for fighting pac @ 144.
Either both are bitches or both aren't.
Nah, it aint as cut and dry as that.

Well thats why I thought it was weird this guy calls Mayweather a bitch when JMM called him out.
I mean everyone can have an opinion, but how is it fair to call one guy a bitch but your favorite fighter is cool to do the same thing? I just think if this poster is gonna call Mayweather a bitch he should call Cotto the same thing.
Again, I dont think either is a bitch.
Good point. If floyd is a bitch for fighting jmm at 144 then cotto is a bitch for fighting pac @ 144.
Either both are bitches or both aren't.
cotto should fight ww's but if other ww's can go down to 144 to fight lw or jww's then he can too if he wants to. if its a bitch move for cotto, its a bitch move for floyd, mosley and everybody else.
a change to same day weigh ins is probably a good idea but until that happends thats the way its done and you have to beat all the top guys in your division regardless of weight and height to be the best.
Cotto fighting Pacquiao at 144 is not the same as Mayweather fighting Marquez at 144.
The difference is Cotto will struggle to make 144 and the chances are will be drained at the weight.
Mayweather will make 144 with ease, He could likely make 140 if he wanted so he isn't really giving Marquez any advantage at all where Cotto going to 144 is giving Pacquiao a big advantage.
If he signs to fight at 144 there is no diference, he knows what hes getting into.
Im trying to ask for a straight up answer, not round about, if ands, or buts.
If he signs and fights Pac at 144 will you call him a bitch?

thats the way the rules are if you can make the weight you fight at that weight class. also if your truly too big for that weight class you will hurt your body trying to make that weight.
