Pacquiao Orders Arum To Make Cotto Bout, Nov. 14

[MegatronCEN*CAL]

I don't want to see any of this catch weight crap. If Manny wants to fight with the big boys, then let them come in at their weight. You either campaign at welterweight or you don't. There is no 144 lb. weight class.

What happened to the accusation that Mosley is ducking Cotto. Seems like the other way around to me. Arum never had any intentions of having Cotto fight Mosley and establishing a clear Welterweight boss, and everybody knows it. And this will be the third weight class that Pacquiao has fought in that he hasn't beaten the best fighter. Hatton was chinless and overrated, Diaz was a scrub, and Cotto is the weakest link at 147.

so if manny wins stil have no credit coz he fights the weakest cotto that you consider one....scrumble your ballz then swallow it...damn hater..........

Manny will take out Cotto in 8, Manny will be too fast for Cotto. As soon as Cotto gets cut over the right eye, from Manny's overhead left, he won't be able to fight nomore. Manny won't be as forgiving as Clottey was, if Cotto is hurt Manny will take him down.

Who are you to tell manny what to do? you are an obscure poster whose opinion doesn't count. LOL

I always use an analogy from a movie to describe why catch weights to make 1 fighter be at disadvantage is a ***** move.


Remember in the movie Gladiator with Russel Crow....Remember when the Emperor agrees to fight him in the Colosseum....but right before the fight he stabs him the ribs to get an advantage..

Same basic principal in "Catch Weights"


Either you fight the man when he's 100% or you don't fight him.

Try telling that to Mayweather.

Pacquiao-Barrera 1 wasnt prime enough for you?? And dont give me some bull**** about him being in how many wars already because Barrera was having himself the biggest winstreak of his career beating derrick gainer, johnny tapia, kevin kelly, erik morales and naseem hamed. A fight in which Pacquiao was supposed to be a simple stay busy fight for Barrera.

There's also Lehlonolo Ledwaba. not a great fighter but prime as can be when pac destroyed him.

Jorge Solis is still to this day ranked #3 at featherweight by ring magazine right behind chris john and steve luevano.

i didnt have to say it about barrera being in many wars cuz you said it yourself!!! plus barrera had to be reinstated cuz they were trying to take his boxing lisence away cuz of the metal plate in his head and also had his tranning camp relocated due to a fire in big bear!!ALL THIS DURING TRANNING CAMP!! but lets just say barrera was in his prime!! that was 7 years ago!!! who has manny beat since then?? that was prime??

being stabbed in the back with a knife is the same as asking cotto who just made 146lbs in the welterweight fight to make 145 or 144? horrible analogy. The catchweight excuse is only used by the losing fighters fanbase.

aka excuse for losing.

147 = yes
below 147 nope..
