Miguel Cotto: "De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao Hurts Boxing"

[mrpain81]

Boy…


I already stated that I don’t think it hurt the sport at all…

please don’t come and twist things..

Nobody is denying that this fight put the sport in the spotlight!
What cotto is doing is oh well.. fu***ck man.. read my previous post!!!

Just don’t twist things….

Also.. Cotto’s comments doesn’t change the fact that DLH.. is a ***** that didn’t stand to his word that he was going to face the winner of the battle… I just hope u don’t deny this

Twist things around?? you were asking me why I was so mad LMAO... I don't have a stake in the fighters so I ain't getting mad either way..

Delahoya has already said he will fight Margarito next year, he was banking on Cotto beating Marg to make a mega fight in December but that went south. Delahoya who started at 130 and faced Hopkins who we all know is an alltime great is now a "*****" because he's afraid of Margarito??

I don't think you even believe that.

Cotto's right 100%.......just like Whitaker and Chavez were giving DeLaHoya a shot when he was young and unproven he should be giving the same shot to young hungry WELTERWEIGHTS like Paul Williams, Margarito, or Andre Berto.....THAT would be good for the sport and would be him giving something back....i mean cmon now doesnt he have enough money?!?!?!

I think Cotto is angry because he would like the payday of fighting de la hoya.

But he would beat oscar. And Oscar seems to be choosing fights he is quite certain he will win.

Sure the fight doesn't make a lot of sense. But I'm sure there will be a load of viewers.

cotto just envy

Former welterweight champion Miguel Cotto has finally spoken out against the December 6 bout between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. Cotto says a fight like De La Hoya-Pacquiao is the kind that brings down the entire sport. He says De La Hoya is avoiding the tough fights and instead makes Pacquiao, the current WBC lightweight champion, move up from 135 to 147 for a fight. [details]

well it shows that cotto just so envy about this mega event fight between ODLH vs PACMAN because he thinks he deserve a fight with the golden boy. he is just an overrated boxers who has not stop someone that is as good as the pacman. i think pacman can knock this cotto out in three due to his very immobile movement. he will never last the distance when he fights the pacman. shame on you cotto...

All DLH is.. is a payday.. he's not a legend and loses every big fight.

All DLH is.. is a payday.. he's not a legend and loses every big fight. He is fighting Pacquiao because the size difference give him a chance to win a big fight against a good fighter.

you are dillusional. why are all the pac nut hugers so happy that pac is getting big money if you arent getting any of it. this fight is a joke, just like cotto said. this is only a huge event to the flips. who do ya think bought out the mgm?

[dondi330]

I disagree...because cotto just wish he was in pacquiao shoes...Ha Ha can you say Hater...how does it hurt boxing when it sold out in a few hours after going on sale... plus ppl sayin their not going to purchase this fight when they will....ODLH fighting at a division he haven't fought at in 10 years and pacman first time fighting here this fight will be interesting because when i first heard this fight was being made on paper it looks loopsided, but ODLH could be weight drain and Pacquiao could be stronger just have to think of it makes an good fight, but i still think Pacquiao will get knocked out! Look at the tune up against forbes..

The reason its selling out is because the casual fight fans that only know bigs names are buying the vast majority of the tickets. How can you people be fans of boxing and not realize that Cotto is telling the truth? Dont you realize that Cotto could have played this game as well (Thats the problem with boxing when fighters duck the challenges they get respect) CMON WE ALL ARE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THE FIGHT MAKES MONEY$$$$ its a smart fight financially but as far as a "GREAT FIGHT" spare me. Your hippocrits. When everyone was ducking Margarito it was ok. I bet you Margarito agrees with Cotto! DO WE AS FIGHT FANS WANT TO SEE GREAT FIGHTS WITH EVENLY MATCHED FIGHTERS OR DO WE WANT TO SEE THESE FIGHTERS MAKE BIG MONEY FIGHTING GUYS THEY FEEL ARE NO THREAT OR EVEN BUMS? SHOULD HOPKINGS MAKE MARGARITO GAIN 30LBS AND BEAT THE **** OUT OF HIM SO HE CAN GET PAID? PERSONALLY I DONT WANT TO SEE A FIGHTER LIKE MAYWEATHER ON "CRIBS" THROWING MONEY AROUND KNOWING HE DUCKED THE ONE WHO THREATENED HIM THE MOST. No disrespect to Pacman ..he is great but he is out of his weight class big time and he will get knocked out. Should Chad Dawson move up and fight Vitali or his brother? Should JuanMA move up and fight Paul Williams....all big names but we know what will happen. Let the promoters pull the wool over the eyes, bamboozle, flim flam, bull****, the casual fans, the dumb fans, the ignorant fans, or the fans that only want to see their favorite fighter make money and play it safe. But dont expect the REAL, TRUE AND KNOWLEDGABLE FANS TO FALL FOR THIS CRAP.

For those who weren't following boxing years ago and have been seeing what Oscar is doing these days, take a good long look.

You wanna know why his resume is littered with so many big names? Well, save for welterweight, this is what he did...fought them usually in the wrong weight class or when they were well past it. Now he gets to add Manny Pacquiao to that "incredible" resume.

that is right, and all this kids posting on this website should do some research about boxing first, then talk to mommy and daddy to see if they let you be on this website........

[pelonxsoldier28]

calling it like it is. this is not gonna be a good fight. it's gonna be de la hoya beating on little pac-man. i sure the hell ain't gonna buy this ppv. but i will watch it on justin.tv

[-Hyperion-]
