Why does Cotto want 150 lb catchweight?

Cotto used to be one of my favorite fighters but after b*tching out from Martinez and now wanting a catchweight I have lost respect for this guy. I thought he was a warrior, clearly he's not. Cotto has fought twice at 154, and has the 154 title so there is no reason to ask for a catchweight, whats wrong with this guy. Can someone please tell me why he wants this and the logic behind it. Personally i think he is a better fighter than Margarito and will win without one. cotto doesn't belong at 154... he just went up there to collect a strap. obviously, team cotto is just doing this because they feel marg had an unfair advantage in the first fight with the plaster. however, I think that team cotto doing this shows weakness rather than strength.

Hmm no. He attempted to cheat and got caught. Why should Cotto call the shots? There is no proof Margarito used the plaster against him. Besides he already has the fight in his turf. It's a b*tch move and you know it. Regardless he's gonna get smashed and I'ma laugh at guys like you. If a guy tests positive for steroids before a football/baseball game he is still a cheater. This "He attempted and got caught" is more b*tch than asking for a catch weight. That's how you justify it? I guess if I tried to kill someone but they lived I'm not really a murderer I just tried to do it? Just because Marg failed in his mission doesn't mean he is still a cheater, my God you are an idiot. Also, Arum already said its BS and he promotes them both, if Cotto tries to get a catchweight who cares. For as much as people b*tch about the catchweight its the same guys who said Marg didn't use in the first fight. Fine, then why can't he do it at 150 if he did at at 147? Its too unfair for Marg's to get an extra 3 pounds now? I thought he was a monster... Or you guys just watched his last three fights and are now realizing as much as Cotto wants lower weight Marg's needs a higher weight that much more.

Guys. Contracts already been signed. The fight is at a confirmed 154 by Arum ! He originally said the CW was BS. Stop trying to dog Cotto every chance you get. This fights at a full 154. Contracts have been signed ! Or esle we wouldn't have a confirmed date. Relax. This is the reason why Pacquiaos accused by fans, you guys believe every word the media says. You puppets. i know..i sear some people just ignore the most obvious things LOL contract is done..its for 154lbs.. So why is there still a discussion about this BS 150LB catch weight story.

I plead the 5th. I'll give you my answer after the fight. Im just asking for your honest opinion now cuz it seems like you truly believe Margarito. Weather or not Cotto wins or loses, I still think he was loaded not only in the Cotto fight but in prior fights. If Margarito said he didnt know what was in his hand wraps, well then why did he come out to say "I WAS NOT LOADED for the COTTO fight"

Yeah this fight should be at 154, I haven’t been following this much has Cotto actually asked for a 150lb catch weight or is this just a rumour? If he has asked for 150 its clearly a b!tch move he saw how drained Marg was against Pac at 150 I would expect Cotto to want to beat Marg on even terms (show he’s the better man) but searching for these advantages to me is just a no no. I agree about your point, but marg was not drained against pac. He was huge and in good shape fight night. Im not sure if cotto is actually pursuing this, or just playing mind games sticking it to margarito. Considering margarito's sin he commited, i have no problem with this. forget the title, this is a bad blood rematch.

on a serious note, Do you actually think Margarito didnt have the plaster in his hands against Cotto? Also, do you believe him when he said, "I didnt know I had plaster in my hands?" I plead the 5th. I'll give you my answer after the fight.

What if I wasn't trying to cheat? What if it just looked like I was cheating but really I was looking at the fine chick's tits two seats to the left? You never know. You don't know me. on a serious note, Do you actually think Margarito didnt have the plaster in his hands against Cotto? Also, do you believe him when he said, "I didnt know I had plaster in my hands?"

So If you go to college and you get caught trying to cheat. I am pretty sure you will get expelled for cheating. What if I wasn't trying to cheat? What if it just looked like I was cheating but really I was looking at the fine chick's tits two seats to the left? You never know. You don't know me.

Hmm no. He attempted to cheat and got caught. Why should Cotto call the shots? There is no proof Margarito used the plaster against him. Besides he already has the fight in his turf. It's a b*tch move and you know it. Regardless he's gonna get smashed and I'ma laugh at guys like you. So If you go to college and you get caught trying to cheat. I am pretty sure you will get expelled for cheating. If your wife catch you trying to cheat with another female/male. Dont you think that is cheating. Cotto should call all the shot because he is the one with the title. He will bring Margarito more money than anyone else. Margarito does not even have a licensed in any state except in Texas. So I dont see how is the fight signed. He needs to apply for a licensed first.

I've been saying this from the start, Steward and Cotto really dislike the fight not because of plaster but because they know they're in for another brutal loss. If they were concerned about plaster they would have made comments and demands for his wraps and hands not his weight. I wish Cotto and team had some of these poster's confidence, then they would have no problem fighting Tony at 154.

Hmm no. He attempted to cheat and got caught. Why should Cotto call the shots? There is no proof Margarito used the plaster against him. Besides he already has the fight in his turf. It's a b*tch move and you know it. Regardless he's gonna get smashed and I'ma laugh at guys like you. Attempted is the same. Had nobody caught him, he would done it anyway. Nobody heard Marg say omg igot messedup wraps take them off. Cotto can call the shots. He has the belt, Marg won just one fight since their first fight. Cottos been winning, he's abigger name and its in his hometown. Simple. Like I said the 150 cw rumor is BS. Its at 154. If it was at 150 it is a ***** move, yes. But I highly doubt it. And if it was, id be disappointed and laugh. Cheaters should get nowhere in life, but he's on his s3econd payday since. Buti guess morals ain't **** to you.

I don't believe Cotto would do that, and people dogging him deep down know it too. Even though Cotto deserves to call all the shots imo. Margs a proven cheater, lost and Cotto still aname, draw, not lost yet and in his hometown. Despite all this, Cottos fine with it being at 154. So if Cotto did try 150, id be disappointed but honesty id get over it and laugh how Cotto has Marg at the nuts now after what he's did. Marg is getting another big payday after being caught attempting to cheat. Unfair, so why should he even get a fairshake? Hmm no. He attempted to cheat and got caught. Why should Cotto call the shots? There is no proof Margarito used the plaster against him. Besides he already has the fight in his turf. It's a b*tch move and you know it. Regardless he's gonna get smashed and I'ma laugh at guys like you.

Thats what I've been saying. Steve Kim's source is probably Roberto Garcia himself. But if true and Cotto is trying to modify the contract, then yes its a ***** move! I don't believe Cotto would do that, and people dogging him deep down know it too. Even though Cotto deserves to call all the shots imo.

Not sure where this warrior thing came from? Is it because when he gets beaten he gets severely beaten,or is it because he quit,either way thats not the definition of a warrior,id be surprised if Cotto beats Marg,hope too get some bets on it

I'm glad Cotto is making the fight at the catch weight. Margarito had an unfair advantage in the first fight so It's payback time. If Margarito don't want or can't make the weight don't fight him, it's his loss. yeah but no need to demand a fight at 150 when they both made 154 confortably in their last fight. You are right, Margarito did have the advatage in the first fight fighting in Las Vegas and possibly with Hand wraps but This fight taking place in New York this time is good enough advantage for Cotto IMO. No need to play the WEIGHT game!! But like I said, These demands have been said from Roberto Garcia and Steve Kim...I have yet to hear it from Cotto.

If true, I dont like the move from Cotto but at the same time, when has this come out of Cotto's mouth? Garcia said that the fight is signed at 154, didnt he? Also, this is like the 5th or 6th thread over the past 2 days about the same subject. Lets just wait til the final details are out before jumping to conclusions.

Sad if Margarito beats his ass again regardless of weight and plaster.
