Pacquiao vs. Cotto By December, Says Bob Arum

[F l i c k e r]

Cotto would seriously hurt Pacquiao.

worse than what Floyd would to JMM.

[MaFu MoFo]

Cotto should fight Mosley to get his belt back or Margarito to get his manhood back. Until then his spot is in the back seat.

The People want Mayweather/Pacquiao THIS YEAR, while they are both close to their physical primes. No one wants to see an older mayweather vs a war-torn pacquiao. Let them fight while they are still fresh, and may the best man win.

143lbs, December 5th 2009, Madison Square Garden, 50/50 split!!!

P4P of the decade!!!

ha! ha! ha! Cotto fought those two. That's way more than what PBF ever did agaisnt them.

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.

And still at WelterWeight, Cotto has a better resume than PBF, "the suppose WW lineal champ who never defended the tittle agaisnt a true WW.

As much as I HATE this fight I may as well give an early prediction:

@ 140, Pacquiao wins by early KO
@ catchweight, Pacquiao wins by mid to late TKO stoppage
@ 147, I see it going either way, with both fighters sustaining damage.

Knocking out Cotto is no big deal.. Id be alot more impressed if Pac-man ko'd the winner of JMM/Mayweather. Jmm and Mayweather have never been ko'd!!!

You must be a comedian in real life. Then again you must suck at it too.

As much as I want this for Cotto, Arum is crazy not to do Mayweather/Pacquiao. Absolutley nuts. And he will do it. He's just ****ing around.

And Josh Clottey is not a guy to look past either.

uncle bob is never cazy matching/promoting fyts.
how can he when he's at it for over 40 years? he's astute !
there is more money for him and his boys without Floyd in the equation.
If he will have his way, he won’t touch Floyd even with the proverbial ‘ten-foot pole’.

this is pure speculation and a matter of opinion.....
...but you can be correct on this!!

i have a different opinion and my logic is simple.
manny is so fast miguel 'myt' have a hard tym finding him.
manny will box cotto to pile up on points for a UD.
but then,...we don't know it yet don't we?
manny 'myt' be able to hurt miguel with the accumulation of punches.
freddie and arum will prefr cotto than mayweather at this point.
boxing immortality is what they are chasing now.
"no guts no glory"

This would be amazing.

[AFTER HOURS]

after the fight between pacq and cotto. they will permanently ban manny from boxing.

[buckdacious]

Arum knows damn well hes gonna do a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in November. Unless Mayweather KO Marquez and scares him away. Or He knows pacquiao is his best fighter and doesnt want Mayweather to take him out. Screw a Pac-Cotto fight. rather see Cotto-Mosley II but who says he even beats Clottey

[Check]

Miguel would really hurt Manny. I'm flying out if this fight happens though. VIVA Cotto!!!!!!!!!

[..WaRSpencE..]

After last night!..

I have NO CLUE how this fight would play out!..

Pacquiao is another breed of LIFE!..lol..**** was AMAZING and SHOCKING all in one!..I didn't expect that **** to happen!..I'm still in AWE!..

Cotto's defense needs some work hopefully he's been touchin up on that..cuz Pacquiao is definitely carrying his power up to the higher weights..and his SPEED...WOW!..

Hatton might've been weight drained..he doesn't look too comfortable at 140..especially since he goes up to 175+ between fights..but that's no excuse cuz he looked GREAT against Malignaggi!..

Pacquiao is officially in my top 3 now right behind Cotto & JMM..Cotto could have problems with Pacquiao..but I hope this fight does happen..cuz if Cotto wins against Clottey than beats Pacquiao..Mayweather won't have no where to run!!!..

To be honest, I'm really not that interested in Pacquiao vs Cotto. All I want to see is for Pacman to knock out Money May.
