Cotto Duck Pacquiao, Pacman camp eyes Mosley

You silly for bumping this lol.

Pacman camp eyes Mosley at 143 lb Philstar.com - Tuesday, July 14 Pacman camp eyes Mosley at 143 lb MANILA, Philippines - Shane Mosley is suddenly back in the picture. Manny Pacquiao’s lawyer, Franklin Gacal, yesterday said if Miguel Cotto insists on the catchweight of 145 lb, the Filipino boxing icon might be forced to consider Mosley as his next opponent. “We will not agree to 145 pounds. And if Cotto insists, we’ll go for Mosley,” said Gacal from Davao City. Top Rank president Bob Arum wants Pacquiao to face Cotto, the reigning WBO welterweight (147 lb) champion from Puerto Rico, on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas. But no deal has been forged yet, not on the date, weight or purse. “No definite date yet or any other details have been agreed upon,” said Pacquiao the other day. Pacquiao, 30, said he wants to fight on Oct. 17 but Arum explained that it wouldn’t be a good date because of the Major League World Series, and that it would be hard to compete with the mother of all baseball games. “Regarding the date, maybe we can give in to what Bob Arum wants although Manny really wants to fight in October. But there’s the baseball thing so maybe we can agree on November,” said Gacal. Both Pacquiao and Cotto are under Top Rank, and it should have been easier for Arum to seal the deal. But again, the weight issue, Gacal added, is turning out to be a real weighty issue. “Manny will be giving up too much if he agrees to fight Cotto at 145. We want him at 143 and if he insists otherwise, then we’ll look at Mosley if Mosley is still available,” said the Filipino lawyer. “Cotto is an inch taller than Manny and definitely he’s heavier. He’s got a bigger body, too. I think Manny will be short-changed if he agrees to 145. And it should be us dictating the terms, not Cotto,” said Gacal. Mosley, the WBA welterweight champion, was so eager to face Pacquiao he said he’d fight at 144 lb, and settle for 40 percent of the purse. But the native of Pomona, California, had given up on the fight when it seemed all’s well for a Pacquiao-Cotto fight. “Mosley said he’s willing to fight Manny at 144. Maybe we can drag him down to 143. So if Cotto insists on 145, we’ll got for Mosley,” Gacal added. At 5’9” Mosley is easily two inches taller than Pacquiao, but the American champion will be 39 by September. Cotto will turn 29 in October. Mosley is under Golden Boy Promotions, whose president, Oscar dela Hoya, recently played a round of golf with Cotto at the Bahia Beach Resort and Golf Club in Puerto Rico. - By Abac Cordero (Philstar News Service, www.philstar.com) lol at 143 for Mosley

Props to Floyd for fighting him at 147. Why the **** wouldn't he. Pac was a JWW coming up. FLOYD IS NOT.

Props to Floyd for fighting him at 147.

It is not Pacquiao, it is his damn management. yeah basically.

WOW is all i have to say.

the whole thing to me is like people said before is he fought at 147 for dlh but not cotto why. Cause he knew and roach knew oscar was going to be a zombie for taht fight. I like pacman when he was at the clottey cotto fight the garden gave him a huge ovation. Because he is good for the sport. But this is getting me really pissed off. To the point i want cotto just to fight mosley or berto. Cotto deserves a big pay day and thats with pac but if pac doesn't want to fight him o well. My advise to cotto would be is to say screw it and fight berto and put him to sleep. Let mosley fight pac man and put him to sleep. Then cotto and mosley can do it at the garden or mgm wherever. To unify the division. Then maybe just maybe floyd will fight the winner of that. Cause floyd would fight and if he wins that fight between cotto and mosley that would be a big money fight and he could retire as undisputed ww champion. But that is a bunch of if's JUST PAC AND COTTO SIGN THE DEAL ALREADY AND COTTO IS NOT DUCKING LOOK AT HIS RESUME I would rather look at my avatar than spending time reading your post. Damn, I was lost after the word "fought."

cotto moved up in weight for a reason. Pac moved into Divisions, Cotto just moved one division...

Pbf + Cotto = Duck Mosley is the man... Cotto use to fight at 140 why he doesnt want it now coz he is a fukking coward. quack quack quack cotto moved up in weight for a reason.

I think Mosley is gonna forget about Berto and hang him out to dry. I think a Pacquiao-Mosley fight would be a lot more interesting than a Berto-Mosley fight, but I would rather see the Berto-Mosley fight if a Pacquiao-Mosley fight is going to be at a stupid ass catch weight.

Your taking everything a little to personal...no reason to take things so serious...They are all quality fighters...there going to work things out so it's fair and healthy for both fighters. Plz just remember it's http://i27.tinypic.com/o5cbbo.jpg I heard that before... hehehehe

There is an interview with Mosley over on Leon's web site. I don't think BScene wants anyone to provide a link to it, but if anybody can translate most of what he said that is a member there, I'd appreciate it.

SSM and Cotto shoulda just faced each other again. truth, homey.

if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck so Cotto is a duck. :rofl: Pbf + Cotto = Duck Mosley is the man... Cotto use to fight at 140 why he doesnt want it now coz he is a fukking coward. quack quack quack

Manny outweighs most of his opponents on fight night, fights Oscar at 147, but will not fight Cotto at 145 now? So he'd rather face Mosley who was begging to fight him long ago at a bulimic weight because it's safer? This is getting better every time.

Pac was 141-142 at the official scale. Nobody questions Pacquiao weight at fight night, we question why fight Oscar at 147 but not MIguel? Wow it's hard for Pinoys to see that Pacquiao is scared of Miguel, he knows Cotto will spank that ass back to indonesia or wherever back to he is from.

It is not Pacquiao, it is his damn management.

Wtf Why cant pacman do it at 145 when he just fought oscar at 147 ?????? Pacman is afraid..... Just fight damn !!! Why are fighters so afraid of a challenge now days ???

if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck so Cotto is a duck. :rofl:
