Top Excuses for Cotto after he losses to Pacquiao

Jo9440316y ago

What are the top excuses that you will hear after Cotto losses to Pacquiao this Saturday. Here's my top 2 1. Cotto was never the same after the beating he took against Margarito. 2. Cotto has an inexperienced trainer in Joe Santiago. 3. 4. 5.

Cotto Excuses..... Line em up!!!! Oh yeah! Cotto just got ANNIHALATED!!!! Let's here all your excuses Cotto Fans. What I really want to hear is Cotto and Joe Santiago's excuses. LET'S GO!!! LINE EM UP!!!!!!!

16y ago

There are no excuses...I believe Cotto will deliver the best performance of his career. He knows it, and therefore will not resort to excuses. From a fan stand point, I also would not make any excuses. Granted nothing funny happens during the fight.

16y ago

Pac used plaster Pac is on roids Pac was possessed by Margarito's spirit Cotto hasn't recovered from the Margarito spanking Cotto weight drained Well Margarito did use plaster and everyone will be laughing if it comes out that Pacquiao really is on steroids. It might be reveal some years later like it happen with Mosley.

3. Cotto: I knew I shouldn't have ate those 3 extra pinchos with my boy Tum Tum. 4. Cotto: My eyebrows weighed me down...I didn't trim them! 5. Cotto: It was Pac's water training...he made me fight under water against Aquaman. 6. Cotto: Wake up TS you are dreaming...I won this fight dickwad!!!

Cotto was weight drained.

It will be Santiago's fault.

Pac used plaster Pac is on roids Pac was possessed by Margarito's spirit Cotto hasn't recovered from the Margarito spanking LOL good oneeeeeeeee

16y ago

Lets be honest here though. Pacquiao nut huggers have been making excuses even though the fight hasn't happened. "Pacquiao is too small even if Cotto wins it means nothing"

16y ago

I was weight drain at 145lbs.

Manny was on steroids. Cotto had the swine flu. Plaster!

What are the top excuses that you will hear after Cotto losses to Pacquiao this Saturday. Here's my top 2 1. Cotto was never the same after the beating he took against Margarito. 2. Cotto has an inexperienced trainer in Joe Santiago. 3. 4. 5. you aren't going to hear anyone complaining about the 2nd one. But the first one is definitely something that people should take into consideration but props either way to whoever wins.
