Pacquiao's Adviser Prefers Cotto Next, Not Mayweather

[SkillspayBills]

To those that say Manny vs Floyd (if he beats JMM) makes the most sense, you are not looking at the big picture. Cotto deserves his shot.

What you need to remember is Floyd, less than two years ago, bailed on the sport and the fights that made the most sense.

Will Floyd bail and leave the sport picking up the pieces again? He left the sport last time with no thought of the void he would leave behind by denying the fans of what they wanted. He comes back and immediately wants a piece of the top dog. Well he has to get in line. While Floyd abandoned the sport, Cotto and Mosley were out there still fighting top names. They deserve the chance at super stardom.

Folks that is all that matters. Floyd will get his chance at the winner, but he will simply have to wait. He does not deserve to have the sport wrapped around his finger while others out there are elevating the sport and showing the heart and fortitude, that represents the sport in the most positive light.

There is no way you can successfully argue the points I made above. Floyd is now getting the blind eye but he brought this on himself.

This is the **** I am talking about. All this gay ass emotion "ohhh my gosh Floyd left the sport. This is boxing dude act like a MAN and want the two best fighters on earth to fight each other PERIOD. As a note, I want Floyd to fight Cotto and Mosley and Williams. However I want a Floyd-Pac fight now because IT IS THE TWO BEST FACING EACH OTHER PERIOD. Whoever doesn't want that isn't a ****ing fan of the sport, they are just a nutthugging *******.

Just because JLC made the fight close doesnt mean he won...

Check the compubox stats JLC landed more at an EVEN HIGHER PERCENTAGE yes HIGHER PERCENTAGE. He even stunned Floyd when he landed his left hook flush on Floyds chin yes FLUSH on Floyds chin. JLC got robbed

Your correct no counter argument. Fighting JMM after 2 year lay off is much harder than fighting a tomatoe can like Michael Jennings for a VACANT belt. I understand Cotto's strategy why fight the champions when you can wait them out..

WOW, i quit thers no point of arguing with you

In 1998, Mayweather won his first world title, the WBC junior lightweight (130 lb) championship, when the corner of Genaro Hernandez stopped the fight after round 8. Hernandez had never been defeated at the weight class.

Thats nice Oscar still took his 0

No one but no one would fight someone as tough as Williams immediately after taking a butal beating. Jennings was a tune-up fight, to keep active while waiting for a rematch with Margarito which was planned for this June. That fight fell through due to Margarito's hand wraps, so he agreed to fight Clottey instead, who everyone else had been avoiding. Only a complete hater would criticise him for that.

Dave. Glad to see you back after the Hatton fight. I never use the "hater" word. Just because I dont buy into some one's opinion, I have to be a hater? I believe in disagreeing. Who avoided Clottey? It was Arum that kept him on the shelf. Even if Cotto hadnt lost to Margs do you honestly believe Arum would have put him in there with PWill? Didnt think so.

[Dorruel]

So if Cotto beats Williams then how come he didn't come back
and fight him? I think this devastating Cotto body punching is
overrated because when he has fought tougher guys than
Gomez and Jennings he couldn't even put them down, hell
he didn't even get to Margarito's body because of the pressure.
I don't understand why some would think I hate on Miguel
Cotto. I am not convinced of his skills like most are and that's
basically it. So I debate with people who say that Cotto is
so dominating but I just can't see it because technically I don't
think he is there.

Why would you fight Williams when you just came off a KO im not gonna say that **** again its getting annoying. Cotto is dominating he will be #1 WW NO DOUBT in a little over a month.

Looking at it from that point of view then it makes sense because
Floyd did leave the sport on top and other fighters kept fighting
and working hard so with that said Floyd should wait in line
because the sport and life went on without him. BUT regardless
of what, people want to see Floyd and Pacquiao, but from a moral
stand point you make sense and I agree with all of the above.

And it is not like he will have to wait in line long. Hell he could fight Mosley while Manny fights Cotto, the winners then meet in the ring.

That scenario would clean up a hell of a lot of "what ifs?" Would that not be a perfect situation? I personally think it would be fantastic.

And two ****ing years ago everyone wanted Floyd to fight Cotto. I certainly don't remember you in here bitching about Floyd not giving the fans what they want.

Hypocrite Much?

You damn well know Floyd won;t fight a welterweight right now unless he is forced too. Make him work for it like the rest have done.

[handler000]

Neither of those articles say what you claim they say. They say nothing about the fight having been signed before Paul vacated his belt.

Dave. Read the article again (ESPN)...Better yet I will copy it just for you.

The vacant title could be filled by a match between the WBO's leading contenders, former titlist Miguel Cotto and England's Michael Jennings, although it remains to be seen if either side is interested in the fight.

Where is the link you are referring too? I looked for it. Maybe you can point me in the right direction.

[trainhard_187]

Lets make it happen, yes Cotto is too big and can break down Pacs body but how many times have we heard this before. If this happens hopefully its at a title at 147 but I doubt cause IF cotto were to get by Clottey then Roach would request a catchweight so a title at 147 would be out of the question.

[handler000]

Why would you fight Williams when you just came off a KO im not gonna say that **** again its getting annoying. Cotto is dominating he will be #1 WW NO DOUBT in a little over a month.

Im pretty sure SSM will still be the #1 WW.
