Arum Will Try To Close Pacquiao-Cotto This Week

[jose1418]

145 unhealthy? for a guy who usually comes into fight night at 160? Get real. What the Pac team is really asking is for Cotto to come in at 155-157 instead of 160, because Pac will come in at 148 during fight night. The ballooning of weight after the weigh in is the ***** move; Cotto should be fighting Paul Williams if he insists on coming into the fight at 160.

he is the one challenging cotto, why cotto has to go down? the reason why cotto went up to 147 was because of problem making the 140 weight, why he don't fight JMM? marquez beat him at least on one of the fight if not on both, he just want to step on the ring with an advantage.

We filipinos have a saying "the boat comes to the port, not the other way around". If Cotto wants his mega-buck fight with Manny, he should meet him halfway in weight. Pacquiao comes into fight night at 148; Cotto at 160. Cotto came into the Clottey fight at 146, really without being required to lose one pound. insisting on 147 shows that he is a coward and cannot fight Pacquiao unless he is 12 pounds heavier come fight night.

You are correct in one thing though, albeit from a wrong angle: there are weight divisions in boxing. If Cotto cannot fight below 147, why is asking for a fight with Manny? Let him fight the not-so-great fighters at welterweight, because Manny does not need Cotto; EVERYONE is lining up for a chance to fight Pacquiao, from across all weight divisions: From bantamweight Darchinyan, Katsidis, lightweight Valero, to Welterweight/Middleweight Mosley, lightweight Marquez, Campbell, even middleweight Hopkins. EVERYONE. Why? because he is the best and all of them want to fight the best. All of them want what he has: the P4P top spot. So if Cotto wants to ***** on 2-3 pounds (which I doubt; only you are doing that), Pacquiao will not disadvantage himself to the tune of 12 pounds and will forget Cotto and move on to consider other equally worthy fighters.

Lastly, please tone down on the vulgarities: you are showing your low class, and you are not doing justice to Miguel Cotto (who is a very classy guy) and his classy, respectable fans (who all gave Pacquiao his due by giving him a standing ovation at the Cotto Clottey fight).

Cotto didn't ask for Manny, was between arum and freddie.

i think if manny comes lauching forward he gonna feel cottos power

[sblock22]

Man Miguel Cotto is ****** if he dehydrates himself to fight Pac. F a catchweight go fight mosely and make manny Pacuiao the odd man out. we all no he does not bring in good numbers only reason he has done okay lately is cuz he fought De la hoya and Hatton. Hey manny lets see if ur the draw u think u are go fight Tim Bradley or Nate Cambell lets see if you even get close to a million buys. And trust me if you fight floyd ur in for it cuz money mayweather brings the money and you will fight him at 147. No catch weight

why can't these idiots remember that MP came fighting from 130 lbs just last year. he has moved up more than 10 lbs already while cotto has been a natural welterweight . fight weight is just fair at 143-144.

Arum can go and *** himself. I hate oily bastards like him that aren't direct with their slick BS. I'd have prefered if he came out and said he doesn't want Floyd to fight Manny because he is a greedy little sht back and would rather have a monopoly of fighters by only allowing his fighters to fight one another.

It's killing the sport.

It would be fair if Cotto could make the catchweight and not be sick (like Floyd probably could) otherwise it is a sick man vs one that's not sick (just because Manny holds all the cards) and that's not fair. Just because it is somewhere in between.

I think pac fans are getting carried away. Cotto is in his prime, DLH was past his sell buy date about 20 yrs ago, Hatton was punch drunk after Mayweather ko.

Let's not be silly now...

Cotto deserves a Mega-fight just as much as any other fighter in the division.
