[el malo]

In a private press Conference for, only the PR media, Cotto said, that he was looking forward for big names, and names that will ehance his status as a boxer and as a atracttion. they mentinoed pacquiao and Cotto said "It do not necessarily have to be Manny Pacquiao. There are many names. But if Manny Pacquiao it it, I will not go down in weight to do it, "he replied. http://www.elnuevodia.com/enbuscadeg...es-580736.html There you go, either 147 or fight a weight drain SSM Pac!!!!!!!!!!

i agree with cotto **** that catchweight ****. cotto got options, makes good money headlining cards at msg vs top ww's.

pacquiao is a ***** for trying to make a natural welterweight to go down in weight to face him, he fought oscar but wont fight anyone else? = *****.

Pac isn't the one who is trying to make it a catchweight, it's his team.

Cotto Vs Pac at 145 seems like a fair catch wieght. It's easier for Pac to gain then it is for Cotto to go down.

Why catchweights?If Manny doesnt feel like he's Welterweight he should stick at 140 .boxing doesnt need this bull****.Cotto moved to 147 from 140 for a reason,he couldnt make weight and he was always weight drained at 140.

Let boxing move on,welterweights fight welterweights.We cant afford to see overated fighters draining other fighters.

Good for him, again same as the SSM thing, at 147 Pacquiao is at a big disadvantage because he will be outweighed by 10+ pounds on fight night... at anything under it SSM and Cotto will most likely be weight drained and dehydrated and will be at a big disadvantage. I understand Cotto and Mosley wanting a big pay day and also knowing that having Pacquiao on your resume if you can pull it off would be fantastic... but if either fighter fight him at anything under 147 they will be at a big disadvantage. The same goes for Pacquiao, a Cotto or SSM win on his resume would look great if he pulled it off, but if its at 147 he will be at a big disadvantage.

If the fight does happen and either Cotto or Mosley do fight him though I think fair play to them... I think SSM deserves a big payday and so does Cotto, I would respect them for wanting to put a big name on there resume.

The Pacquio should keep fighting pigmies and midgets if he's not a welter weight.He's not the only fighter to move to other weights.I'm sure many people wanted to fight Tyson and make some money back in the day but didnt move because they werent heavyweights

But that b*tch in your avatar is making an old lightweight come up to Welterweight to fight him.

I'm quite impressed by Cotto.He knows he is a professional in his own right and he wont be bullied and compromise like some people.I hope he sticks to his guns.

Manny's team knows he is not the best,they are looking for the weakest link.If Manny wants Cotto then he should go to 147,beat the champion then he will be respected.Very soon the baloon will be deflected

Weird, I thought Floyd was more of a balloon full of helium, he's full of air, talks big, but doesn't backed it up, he's all talk. At least Pacman is walking the walk...

[cottothechamp]

cotto dont need pac, mayweather is out there also and ssm.

[Zarco]

good stuff by cotto. shows how much of a true fighter he is when he turns down a big pay day to loose.
