Pacquiao vs. Cotto By December, Says Bob Arum

[nujabes77]

nah, cotto and mosley are too big for pac. mosley beat mayorga who was 170 lbs and cotto barely beat mosley.

both are too big for pac.

you guys emphasize on size too much. size doesn't necesarily win fights

[yingyang]

This is bad for PACMAN. A pure welterweight 147 lbs. fighter like COTTO
against a non welterweight PACMAN. Manny should just stick to 140lbs
division... i dont think cotto would be willing to drop some weight just
to get a fight with pacman at 140lbs. It would be Arum telling pacman
to put on some weight so the fight can be made at 147lbs. and if that
happen, pacman will be demolish by cotto.

[GRUSTLER]

you go against cotto in every fight because you dont like him, and i cant wait till he proves you wrong against clottey then does it again against Cotto

Why can't I just pick a fighter I feel has a chance without being a hater? I picked Hatton against Manny and look what happened? At first I said on an old post that Cotto would kick the **** out of Manny but after seeing what Manny did to Hatton? & the fact that Cotto does get hit flush a lot
I can see Manny totally getting the upper hand if he uses his speed. Right now. Manny is a threat to anyone that steps in the ring and is not to be slept on. The only type of boxer/fighter that can beat Manny is a technical one not an aggressive one because Manny is too fast and strong to charge at him like Cotto does.

After Manny Pacquiao's two round destruction of Ricky Hatton on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, promoter Bob Arum told reporters that Pacquiao's next fight will likely come against WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in either November or December. He said Pacquiao will be in New York to sit ringside at Madison Square Garden for Cotto's fight against Joshua Clottey. [details]

I do not believe this. It does not make sense.

yeah, but there's a reason why there are weight divisions

Bob Arum is about to screw one of the greatest boxing years of all-time with this Cotto garbage.

First off Cotto has unfinished business with Margarito(the guy who knocked him out) and Mosley(the guy who KTFO'd the guy) Until he rights that ship he shouldnt even be considered in the top 3 of potential opponents for Pacquiao.

Arum does not want to see a 32 year old Mayweather fight a 30 year old Pacquiao. He wants to delay the inevitable as long as possible until May shows signs of decline. If Pacquiao were on GOldenboy this fight wouldve been signed less than 5 minutes after the KO. Bob Arum is a ****** snake.

just like floyd is wating for mosley to turn 50 b4 he fights him ****ing hipocrites. Also pac is fighting one of the best fighters not ducking no one just fighting the best so **** off already u hater

[buckdacious]

Arum dont do this to me. The whole world wants to see Mayweather-Pacquiao, dont be a little bitc%!!

[GRUSTLER]

stil...Floyd beats pac. I hate Floyd, but it is what it is

So your going to give me a hard time for saying Pac beats Cotto
but agree on Floyd beating Pac? I get ridiculed for making
predictions like I'm a hater? I talk about boxing and strategies
all the time but get called a hater by fan boys? Like you said
it is what it is Floyd beats Pac anything below 147 Cotto is
dead meat against Pac.

[Joeyzagz]

Lets look at Cottos last 2 fights and his next fight.

1. Margarito(got destroyed)
2. Michael Jennings(who is this guy?)
3. a dude Margarito beat THREE YEARS AGO

How does this resume' grant a shot at Pacquiao? This is why UFC will bury boxing again this year.

you openly admited several times you dont like Cotto. Thers nothing wrong with that everyone is entitled to their opinions. You changed your opinion because of what Pac did to Hatton? what do you think wouldv happened if Cotto fought Hatton yup..the same ****
