Miguel Cotto Willing To Face Pacquiao at 144-Pounds

[lopez36]

i think cotto needs to stick to fighting guys in his own weight class..berto,williams has said he would like to fight him,leave little manny to the 135-140 pounders..he critized oscar for fighting manny,and now he wants to do it?.makes no sense,,,i know guys go up in weight all the time,but there is a limit to how high you go and i think 140 is all pacman will go..anything else is just being a bully(the welter who fights pacman)

[benjamin2004]

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


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.


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


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???


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


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.


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


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

WWs should fight WWs, not jr WW!!!


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


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


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!!!!????


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


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


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

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.


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.


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

dude bob arum mentioned the fight as possible right after the hatton fight, he is the promoter and would earn all of the money, then after that remarks roach appeared on every other website saying and asking for cotto to drop to 140 and for mosley to drop to 142 in order to make the fight, so is that not calling out, then what is it? geez.

Cotto-Mosley II, although it makes sense, it really does not need to happen, Cotto already beat him, you may claim whatever you want to, that it was close, than it was this and that, Mosley himself said Cotto beat him, live with it.

Cotto needs to go after Margarito after the suspension, fighting Mosley just because he beat Margarito does not mean jack, Cotto needs to fight Margarito.

[WESS]

also you have to think this pac cotto mosley all wanna fight floyd correct? when cotto beats clottey and pbf beats jmm then cotto vs pac could happen and then pbf could fight mosley( a fight alot of people have wanted to see and i believe pbf would win as mosley if just getting older and declining) and then 2 winners would fight each other that way the best of the best face off.

then 2 winners would fight each other that way the best of the best face off.

So what your saying is Mayweather and Cotto would fight!

[Mr. Chago]

I'm so sick and tired of Manny and all of this catch weight garbage. Either you are a jr. welterweight, junior middleweight or middleweight, etc. Just because you are suppose to be the p4p king doesn't mean you can dictate and have a fighter come out of his weight class to fight you so you can get him weak and beat him. Get real this is not boxing. This is just as I stated before. Floyd didn't tell Oscar to fight him at a catch weight of 154. He let Oscar come in at his weight and still beat him. That is a real fighter and champion. Manny is just some bogus fighter that top rank has marketed to fool the the filipino audience who has never had any champions that meant anything. Watch if Floyd annihilates JMM Manny will not fight Floyd. Do you guys hate Floyd that much that when Floyd beat Oscar and Hatton u guys didn't give him any credit but when Manny beats the same guys you make him out to be the greatest since Joe Louis

Totally agree, but this won't last forever, manny will soon loose, with Cotto or Mayweather....but it pisses me off too, fighting ODLH at 147 but not fighting the rest of the WW at the same weight because there's not an advantage, then don't fight them and stay at JW...

If you are the true P4P king you don't need that advantage...

Jajajajajajajaja

ANd I titally agrree with that.

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

tHAT CRAKED ME UP BUT ITS TOTALY TRUE!!!

[Mighty_Windir]

This aint happening, cmon Cotto you got bigger fighter to fight instead of picking it with little pac.

[VaBoriKua 2.0]

So what your saying is Mayweather and Cotto would fight!

well pbf would be forced to fight shane ( idk if hell do it) but going by my logic yes cotto vs mayweather will FINALLY HAPPEN

[Aracibo04]

noT ALL BORICUAS

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.

I for one would like to see them meet at 144. In my opinion it would be a 50/50 fair fight. It would go to the best boxer. Nothing under 144 and nothing over 144.

I don't belive that -3 pounds would affect cotto and I think + 4 for manny would even it up.

Besides its the promoters that make the deal. Cotto always say he will fight who his promoters want him to fight.

100x35 100x100 boricua

[WESS]

well pbf would be forced to fight shane ( idk if hell do it) but going by my logic yes cotto vs mayweather will FINALLY HAPPEN

pbf would be forced to fight shane ( idk if hell do it)

Well it depends on how you look at it.

Is Mayweather fighting an OLD not in his prime Mosley or the guy that "DESTROYED" Marg?

If he wins will the same people say mayweather beat Mosley who was a risk and give him credit or will they say Mayweather beat an OLD guy and should have fought pac?

I mean there is ALWAYS someone going to hate. It just depends on how you look at it. But saying that. Im game for Mayweather VS Cotto, Mayweather VS Mosley, Mayweather VS anyone really but Pac or JMM.... too little and when he beats them people will still give him **** just like if he where to beat Mosley. The same people wanting the fight to happen would give him **** for fighting the "OLD" guy....

So its not a matter of "if he'll do it" as if he's scared or ducking. The question is.... is the money there? Does the fight mean anything? lol But again IM GAME for it! Anything but Pac.

Pac and JMM III needs to happen! Pac is to little for Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley and Pwill.....

[Aracibo04]

I already realized is a waste of time he keeps going around in circle trying to get everyone to follow his 'logic" which makes no sense, but to each his own.

Yea its like little kids arguing whos daddy is better LOL
