Cotto Refuses To Fight Pacquiao Below 145-Pounds

145 is fair.

1 pound less & team pacquiao & pacquiao himself are b*tches.

U gotta love boxing fanatics.

Manny and his camp want to fight Cotto at 140-142 and refused anything over that. So get your facts straight.

145 is fair.

[boxingfan76]

1) roach said the dlh fight at 147 was a ONE time deal
2) pac officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton just a few weeks ago. when was the last time cotto officially weighed 138 lbs???
3) roach never intended for pac to campaign at WW
4) unless cotto agrees to 142, this fight shouldn't even be discussed.
5) Cotto is a MW on fight night and Pac is a WW on fight night. IS THAT FAIR???

YOUR A LAZY ****ING *******D youve posted the same message what 52,0000 times now?????

The article doesn't say he has refused anything, you should read it more carefully.

But in any case, neither fighter is being forced to take the fight, neither are bitches, if Cotto doesn't want to fight below 145 and if Pac doesn't want to fight above 142, the solution is simple. They can both fight someone else. It really isn't rocket science.

if i were cotto i wouldnt give up an ounce to that chinese restraunt line cook!!

[jri9d0]

Nope!!!

You're not reading.....

There's no way for PAC to climb 3 Divisions in order to fight DLH. Remember? It is DLH who challenged PAC. So, it is impreative for DLH at least to move doen 1 division for them to meet.

Isn't that simple to understand?

PAC natural weight is 140 right now. If Cotto's natural weight is not lower than 145, then they don't have business in the same ring.

Why would force PAC to move up nor Cotto to move down.

Get real BRO.

You should ask Freddy Roach that as he’s the one scouting Cotto on June 13th as a viable opponent for Manny. Roach knows VERY WELL that Cotto is a natural WW as was DLH (though competing at junior Welter) and to meet anywhere lower would give Manny the advantage in not draining himself to make weight. Manny looked like King Kong fighting DLH at Welter and he would look just as destructive fighting a dry dehydrated Cotto. Roach strategy in luring him (Cotto) below his standard weight would only give the Manny camp full advantage. And, I agree with your statement “If Cotto's natural weight is not lower than 145, then they don't have business in the same ring.” Which is precisely the reason why Cotto is not opting to fight him any lower then that weight range.

what facts? we are arguing about a hypothetical fight with cotto fighting clottey in june.

Did cotto vs pacquiao negotiations start yet?

[boxingfan76]

How are they bitching? They aren't forcing Cotto to take the fight. Why should Pac fight above his best weight? If Cotto can't make less than 145, no problem he can fight a top Welterweight instead.

fighting a top welter would probably be safer for cotto than facing pac weight drained like that, screw that.

The point is that it's not a problem, no one is forcing Cotto to take that fight. And most boxing fans would much rather see him fight Mosley and Mayweather anyway. Assuming he beats Clottey, which isn't a foregone conclusion.

uhh i dont think so brah.


Why would they want to see a fight thats already happend?

Believe u me,

If u ask all boxing fans to vote which fight they want to see its gonna be
Pacquiao vs Cotto not Cotto vs Molsey 2.
