Miguel Cotto Willing To Face Pacquiao at 144-Pounds

[K-Nan]

WW's should fight WW's. Period.

This logic would have kept all of our past great fighters from ever having HOF careers. Its bad for boxing when the fans think like this.

144?

mmm 145 would of been fine.

+1

I don't get why Pacquiao and his team are bitching.

[vrodz]

Why are we even dicussing this now??????? Don'"t we have Cotto Vs. Clottey first. While I heavily favor Cotto to win a UD their still the chance... so let'get this one done and then we can worry about the weight for Cotto Vs. Pacquiao if it happens.

[Pullcounter]

Last time I checked Cotto was never a call out type of guy, so I dont know what you are talking about. After Manny's fight with Hatton, Bob Arum mentioned Cotto and some other guy and then after that Roach and Manny said they were going to see Cotto's fight, next thing you know, they are wanting everybody and their moms to drop to a weight they cant fight in order to make the fight. I mean come on, they want Mosley to drop to 142 and Cotto to 140, yeah very brave sure...

so bob arum is the instigator here not pac or roach.

Thats why DLH lost, he came down to a weight he was not able to perform well at and they knew it, now they want the same thing with Cotto and/or Mosley, hopefully Cotto is smarter then DLH, Manny and Roach and dont get any lower than 144.

these guys fight at their own risk. if cotto don't like catchweights then don't fight pac. its that simple. but calling pac/roach bitches is dumb.

So Cotto is the one with fear because he does not wat to fight Mosley, even tough Cotto already beat Mosley? Wow that's a remarkable statement

I think cotto fears shane as much as manny / roach fear cotto. NOT AT ALL!!!

So you are saying that is OK to fight a old out of prime guy at a weight, cash it as one of your biggest wins, but then when a prime figher like you wants to fight you at that weight you was succesfull, you cant because you wont have the advantage of having a old washed up opponent in front of you?

**** that.

don't you understand???

147 was a catchweight for dlh/pac. if dlh can't force pac to move all the way up to 154, then how the **** do you expect cotto to force pac to move up to 147?

roach made it clear that 147 was a one time deal to fight dlh.

pac officially weighed 138 lbs to fight hatton. when was the last time cotto weighed 138 lbs???

PS. JMM has never fought aove 135,a ndf FLoyd will fight him at 147, thats another ***** move!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

exactly so it's a ***** move for cotto to demand a much smaller fighter (pac) to fight at 147 also!!!

Didnt he beat Mosley already? Why give him a rematch?

1) because it was a close fight
2) because margo made cotto quit and basically analized cotto
3) because mosley destroyed margo and analized margo
4) the #1 WW (mosley) vs the #2 WW (cotto) is a no brainer

for all these reasons, mosley/cotto II is the most logical fight out there.

He needs to be fighting ***** ass Marg-a-cheato.

I agree that he needs to get revenge, but like I already said, mosley/cotto II is the most logical fight at WW.

Pac is good but I bet after Cotto is done with Clotty, Pac and Roach wont have anything to do with Cotto. They will say something ****** like the fight will only happen if its at 140 or something which of course Cotto wont do.

GOOD then maybe cotto will stop wishing for a pac fight and fight mosley

WWs should fight WWs, not jr WW!!!

If Pac and Cotto both come in the ring healthy. Pac is dead. Put it that way.

If Cotto is a MW and Pac is a WW on fight night, pac is dead, that's obvious.

ANd I titally agrree with that.

But that doesnt change the fact that wanting people at unhealthy weights is a ***** move!!!!!!!!!!

WWs fighting jr WWs is also a ***** move.

I've lost a lot of respect for roach and team pacquiao. So they'll fight odlh at 147 but not cotto or even mosley.

I've lost respect for cotto.

Why is cotto trying to make fights with a jr WW??? why won't cotto fight real WWs???

roach made it clear that pac at 147 was a one time deal for Oscar.

pac officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton. when what the last time cotto weighed 138 lbs!!!!????

Roach is trying to make pac look better than he is by beating weight drained guys.

not really, roach is trying to protect his fighter. on fight night, a MW (cotto) vs. a WW (pac) is a mismatch.

I'm not saying pac isn't the man either. The man is p4p the best but beating unhealthy dudes is weak.

What's even more weak is a WW picking on a jr WW.

He should have just fought JMM a third time. Fight fighters in your weight class man.

exactly. we shouldn't even be talking about pac/cotto. it's a pipe dream.

Unfortunately cotto (maybe even mosley) will take the money and pac will hand their weight drained asses a loss.

yep, so you can't blame roach or pac, the only one to blame is cotto and mosley if they chose to fight at a catchweight.

he already beat mosley and shane didnt want the rematch in ny.

so what shane destroyed margo and cotto quit against margo.

wtf would mosley fight cotto again in MSG??? that's an automatic loss for anyone.

cotto fighting clottey in june and did nothing but fight guys his own size even bigger, go talk to the gayweather fans with all that bull****

great point, so cottto should continue to fight WWs instead of pulling bitchmoves by fighting a smaller fighter like Pac.

[pigdestroyer]

how will cotto handle this speed? going to 144 will only give more advantage to pac.

[Pullcounter]

well then cotto stans should not complain about catchweights then.

I don't get why Pacquiao and his team are bitching.

maybe because pac officially weighted 138 lbs to fight hatton. when was the last time cotto officially weighted 138 lbs?????

maybe because pac officially weighted 138 lbs to fight hatton. when was the last time cotto officially weighted 138 lbs?????

And he officially has weighed 147 when fighting at 135, on fight night. Please.

[WESS]

1) because it was a close fight
2) because margo made cotto quit and basically analized cotto
3) because mosley destroyed margo and analized margo
4) the #1 WW (mosley) vs the #2 WW (cotto) is a no brainer

for all these reasons, mosley/cotto II is the most logical fight out there.

lol I know it SHOULD happen. But I would much rather see Cotto and Mayweather or Cotto and Marg....

[DonTaseMeBrah]

144 & its still for cotto's 147 pound title.

All the boricuas getting bent out of shape with a guy who started his career at 106 pounds & is a career featherweight wanting to level the playing field vs a boxer who is a career 140/147 pounder.

Yea, Team Pacquiao is so unreasonable. A boxer who has fought 7 times at 147 & 26 times at 140 is at such a disadvantage vs a career 126/130 pounder, former 112 pound champion with 1 fight at 135,140,& 147.

Team Pacquiao should be ashamed of themselves.

It's sickening, isn't it? Haha
