Pacquiao vs. Cotto By December, Says Bob Arum

[VaBoriKua 2.0]

hey man, I agree, Cotto took one hell of a beating and still was
going until he quit but with that said, if he lets Manny with his
speed an accuracy tee of on him like Margarito did? Cotto is going
down. Manny is way faster than Magarito and is clearly a better
fighter than Antonio also. did you see that punch Manny caught
Hatton with that put him down in the 2nd? That **** was right
on Hatton's chin perfect! Manny was punching Hatton and ducking
his punches at the same time? Cotto gets hit too much too flush.
Again if slow ass wide punching Margarito beat up on him then fast
ass Manny with precise punching would punish Cotto and make him
pay everytime he missed.

therse a difference though even though i kno manny hits hard and fast im pretty sure getting hit basically with a cast hurts even more and it cotto was able to take mosleys shots for 12 rounds whos really fast 2 and hits harder than manny im sure cotto will be ok he might lose but not knocked out like hatton was

Zab hits harder that Manny at WW and is just as fast.
But i see where your coming from. Still Cotto is too big, too good for Pac

co-sign........

Cotto wont get first pickings over Floyd for Pacquiao.

You're looking at it in to lineal of a way. There are a lot of different variables.

Cotto wasn't getting hit to much in the beginning of the fight, he started getting hit a lot when he was getting worn down and was standing on the ropes.

Cotto wouldn't be standing on the ropes against Manny. Cotto has dealt with speed well, Mosley and Judah are very fast and Cotto handled it.

I strongly disagree with the notion of Pac hitting harder the Judah, Judah's got some pop, even at 147.

I just think Pac is gonna have to go through too much fire power to get at Cotto.

It's impossible to look at fights like "oh if so and so did this to him, than so and so would kill him" cause as we all know, it never works that way.

Pac will beat Cotto, IMHO. If they do fight I'm sure it will be at a catch weight at around 143 or 144. Pac seems to be a natural at JWW.

Floyd and Pac is the fight that most needs to be made. I have no clue who would win, it's about an even fight.

Cotto is no Hatton, he would beat Pac with SKILL and POWER. Like i said in another post, if manny wants the welterweight title, then fight at welterweight, because draining a fighter to a point hes not at 100% is on some ***** ****. Manny did it with Morales twice, didit with Oscar enuff is enuff.

Cotto already decisivly beat Mosley, and hes going to beat Clottey as well and there will be no question he is the #1 WW then if they put him against Pac. Cotto will beat Pac and become a top 3 p4p fighter. If you really think clottey will win we can beat the few points we both have

So are you telling me Cotto is #1 at WW right now???? after beating Jennings??? DUDE STOP THE NONSENSE. And that win against Mosley was not dicisive, it was a close fight. I had it a draw but im not gonna argue 7 to 5 for Cotto. everybody knows they need to fight again, and Pacquaio would spank Cotto all over the ring. I dont know how to bet points or even get them but all bet anything I got

[Bigdaddy_Vh]

typical arum BS...Bob knows first-hand how to stir up shizzle. no way he is gonna pass up on the cash he could make fighting floyd by taking a gamble and less money against cotto.

Hey man,

Don't underestimate Manny Pacquiao at this point. The kid is FIERCE.
I saw Hatton get hit by bigger guys than Manny and went the distance.
Manny annihilated this guy in 2 rounds? It's safe to say that he has a
chance against anyone at this point.

[Fenom]

Cotto wont get first pickings over Floyd for Pacquiao.

with Bob Arum doing Manny AND Cottos dealings he could

[dsyef]

This might a ploy just to get Floyd to drop his high price demands. Its also a good way for Cotto to stay with Arum and force Mayweather to fight Cotto. I still think that Mannys doesn't lose much prestige from losing to bigger guys, but if Floyd, Cotto or Mosley lose to Pacquiao i'lll be more humiliating because he's the smaller fighter. But then again he is Godzilla.
