Cotto, Valero are Both Options For Pacquiao, Says Arum

[Samadafish]

No catch weight, make the fight at 147 lbs. Pacman did it
once against oscar dela hoya. If COTTO win, he faces MAYWEATHER JR.
and PACMAN face JMM for trilogy...

Yea I like that one. I hope Cotto fights at 147 cuz any less than that & it's lights out for cotto, but 147 cotto should win fight mayweather a fight people rly wanna see & PAC marquez 3 also

Fu^^ Bob Arum!!! He mentions Cotto and Valero but no Mayweather??? So hes gonna have another one of his fighters duck Mayweather again?? (Cotto in 2005 he bulled this ****) If Pacquiao-Mayweather doesnt happen this year, Arum should get sued for not giving the fans they want to see. Of course they want Cotto, hes got no defense and is gonna come stragith foward, easy win. Maybe Valero is he loses to Mayweather but come on. NO Mayweather?? dont do this to me damn it.....

Assuming Mayweather beats Marquez, Pacquiao vs Mayweather no doubt will be next. Assuming Cotto beats Clottey, Cotto vs Mosley 2 will be next. However, Cotto Pacquiao would be a good fight and I'd like to see it in the future. As for Valero, I've only seen his last fight against Pitalua, but if people think Hatton got destroyed, you would see that times two against Valero. Talk about a guy that leaves his chin wide open. He'd be smashed quick. I guess they could possibly seel that to the general public just because he is undefeated with all KOs, but I highly doubt that fight will ever happen.

Pacquiao will be exposed!

Like I said before, all Arum is doing is keeping Manny away from Floyd because he knows he will be exposed for the fraud that he truly is. He will put him in the ring with Cotto because he knows what damages Margarito has done to Cotto plus the Cotto/Clottey fight will a tough fight as well. So he thinks Cotto would be vulnerable. He would fight Valero because he knows Valero is over rated and garbage. Stop ducking Floyd and come with it now and lets see if Manny is all what you think he is.

We saw what cotto was like at 140. His defense is awful and at a weight lower than 147, he is easily shook. Smoke and mirrors! And you all are falling for it. pbf stops most 140 and below but the novices on this forum are too new to know that. You guys are buying this TR bullshyt and happily riding the hype train.

Have at it boyz! My money stays in my pocket!

nobody is forcing cotto to sign the contract. if he agrees to the catchweight then that is on him

[Hotbox2]

What is P4P??

They say Manny is p4p king, why is it that we have to have a catch weight for Manny to fight rather then fight at whatever weight the division requires. That's no p4p king that's just a marketing tool to fool the public like how Arum fooled all you idiots with Butterbean the king of the 4 rounders. When Floyd fought Oscar there was no catch weight, Oscar was allowed to come in at 154. With Manny everything is a catch weight. It's garbage an you guys have fallen into to the hype that Manny is this so called good fighter when he hasn't beaten any fighter that another fighter hasn't beaten

You are right Arum knows Cotto is weak and can easily be hurt at 140. He is trying to make Manny look good. But you are right if Cotto don't want it at 140 don't sign the contract. They are staying away from Floyd but Manny can run but he can't hide.

exactly, if cotto thinks he'll lose under 147 lbs, then don't sign the contract. its that simple.

i don't like bob arum but if cotto beats clottey then the fight with pac should go ahead. but i really want to see pac versus mayweather. then cotto and mayweather. on schafers comment about the hit list that floyd gave him. the names are marquez,pac,cotto and mosley.

[roujinziro]

Valero just isn't a big enough name yet, for Pacquiao to make any big money off the fight. Plus it'd be too high a risk for the pay involved (not like Pacman cares about that stuff). I'm not really interested in the Cotto fight, since I think the winner of Cotto-Clottey should fight Mosley for the Welterweight Crown.
