Pacquiao vs. Cotto Appears To Still Be Arum's Plan

[cubanprospect]

Let's Cotto and Pacquiao fight at 135lbs so Pac beats the crap out of Cotto!!

This Cotto is unreal, instead of focusing on getting for the first time a belt and become champion and not paper champion fighting vacant titles he is choosing to fight the lightweights.

Cotto the most overrated fighter in recent history!

This shows how elite Top Rank is at matchmaking. They know they need to cash out on Paq and they choose their only other money maker in Cotto as his opposition. Especially since Cotto has more of a chance against his Welterweight opposition when there are no more old slow handed fighters for Paq to feast on.

I know people love Paq and think he's great, but seriously..when's the last time you seen him against a fighter that can mount their own offense/show their defense? The guy just jumps weight's and fights dead men and get's ranked like it's somthin sweet lol...

Anyways, Cotto destroys Paq if Hatton doesn't first.

It's wrong for many WW's to fight Pacquiao. Not just Tony and Cotto. But it is more aceptable for Cotto to fight Pac than MARGARITO, PAUL WILLIAMS, CINTRON, and any other boxer able to get in the ring with 160-165 lbs overnight.

In a 145lbs fight, Pac and Cotto are not going to be so far away from each other by the time they enter the ring. PW can do 145 lbs. He did it last year. Imagine PAc and PW in the same ring. A ****ing Circus!!!

You got a point, Nonetheless you and I both know that if they fight at 145 or even 147 it's a joke. Pac was fighting in the 130's not too long ago. Remember Cotto would be fighting at his natural. Pac has no experience at the same weight. No matter which way you put it, the fight should not happen. Huge disadvantage. Now if Cotto comes down to 140, that's a different story. Remember Cotto looked very weak at 140 and almost got knocked down by little dudes.

Mosley was just a push over opponent I guess-

There are definitely hypocrites on here no doubt, with all the Marg bashing after saying he'd fight Pac. Honestly I don't fault Cotto at all with any of this WW mess though. He wasn't ducking the Marg rematch prior to the Mosley incident. He mentioned that this June he'd take Mosley, Clottey, Berto. We know Mosley isn't going to happen because Arum is a *****. Cotto will likely take on Clottey, which would be one of his tougher tasks. As for mentioning Pacquiao, I guess he has the same syndrome as everybody else. They want that money, spotlight, recognition, and I can't blame any of them (Marg included).

There is definitely some strong logic in this post.

nah... pac should not fight cotto at all... thats cherry picking... cotto should fight mosley after clottey

Can Cotto still make 140?

They would probably fight in 147. Arum wanted to test Pac competitiveness at higher weight! If their hieght wouldn't much of difference, I think the match-up good especially when Pac survives from big puncher Hatton!

weather its 140 lbs., 145 lbs., 147 lbs., COTTO will definitely kill PACMAN in the ring. Pacman is not pure WW fighter, Cotto is.... PAcman is way too
small for 147 lbs. division... PAcman should stay at 140 lbs. division.
VALERO, MARQUEZ wants a piece of PACMAN, all they have to do is gain
weight and move up to 140 lbs. division.

Well, freshman comes first before becoming veteran. Pacman has lot of experience being freshman and has been successful on his first knocked in the WW door. Pacman-JMM 3 should be done but there are so many options for Pacman that making this possibility unlikely. You know, he is running against time because he will soon be retiring, and like Arum, he too want to cash out big pays ahead. Valero might be good but he is simply not yet seasoned to Pacman this time, or no chance at all to both as Pacman exiting soon.
