  • Cotto throws out challenges to Pacquiao

    Cotto throws out challenge to Manny Pacquiao.
    It wasn't exactly an old-school call out, but it was interesting nonetheless. At the presser to announce the Miguel Cotto, Kelly Pavlik two-city doubleheader today, Cotto had this to say about Manny Pacquiao:

    "If Manny Pacquiao wants to stay at 147 and fight one of the biggest names in boxing - I am available."

    He had a lot more to say, including that he's never seen his opponent, Michael Jennings, fight and it didn't appear that he cared too much. Hard to say where Cotto's looking next -- Pacquiao? Margarito? Would he really want to do that again? One thing though, judging by the quotes, it seems he's looking past Jennings.

    A fight with Pacquiao offers Cotto riches well beyond anything he has earned in the ring. A Margarito rematch offers him a chance at redemption. Where does the modern-day fighter look? Usually it's for the money.

    But the making of either fight, is not up to Cotto. Margarito is scheduled to fight Sugar Shane Mosley and Pacquiao should be fighting Ricky Hatton, although that fight could fall apart because of purse splits.

    Of the first Margarito fight, Cotto had this to say:

    "I would like to get the rematch right away with Margarito, but I have to wait for the company to decide then we will see. It is a rematch that I want. Not badly (laughing), but I want it. When I fight him again, I will try to be a better boxer... I never watched the fight. I've been there, so I don't need to see it (laughing)."

    On February 21, Cotto returns to the “Mecca of Boxing,” Madison Square Garden to face Jennings and world middleweight champion Pavlik makes his world title defense against Marco Antonio Rubio a homecoming at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, Ohio.

    Both fights will be broadcast -- from different cities -- live on the same pay-per-view card

        He stated numerous times he is willing to fight the big names at WW division and could easily make weight again.

          One thing's for sure, if Cotto gets the WBO strap Williams can come back and claim it anytime, lets see if he does it.

            why does everyone say he moved up?

            the fucker was a middleweight early in his career.

            he had to cut tons of weight just to fight at welter.

            people say marg is big but he's a lifelong welter. hell his first fight as a kid was at lightweight.

                The same guy who outboxed and schooled Margarito the same guy who made Cotto quit in front of his beloved Ricans like a fucking fraud.
