Pacquiao/Cotto Negotiations in Full Force, Deal Expected

[prsi]

Whats Cotto's usual weight after hes rehydrated...doesn't he come in at like 160lbs?

Manny better bring that **** down to 140lbs lol

That i know of 156 Lbs fight night

[DocG]

juanma is better than miguel NOW.

all he needs is a few more big fights.

lopez will be #1 p4p in the world in the near future.

cotto will never be that.

if lopez can ever get a fight with rafa or izzy , he passes cotto. lopez will ko rafa and izzy quite easily imo.

Partially agree....Juanma is a highly rated boxer but lacks experience.....there is the potential....His abilities haven't been put to the test.......A match with Rafa or Izzy would be too soon for him......a few more hard matches then will see....

Cotto.....his abilities are on the decline......

[WhoreUs]

with those n then moving up 2 destroy gamboa who is reall overrated IMO....

caballero , marquez , vazquez , juares , john , gamboa , luevano , solis , soto , barrios , linares.......

lopez beats them all at 122-130.

[WhoreUs]

That i know of 156 Lbs fight night

when he was at 140.

he was around 155 at 140.

he's higher than that at 147.

[cottothechamp]

this fight will happen cause cotto aint greedy, this fight will get signed cause pacquiao wants it. He never really wanted the hatton fight thats why it took him so long to sign, plus bob aum is both of there promoters, this fight wil lget signed fast.

[street bully]

when he was at 140.

he was around 155 at 140.

he's higher than that at 147.

Dude why do you think he refuses to be weighed in on fight night? But against Pacquaio he will have to unofficially weigh in.

Pacquiao is not winning this fight.Cotto is a survivor and his speed is underated.What people dont know is that Clottey is an excellent fighter and no one looks good against Clottey.If pacquiao took this fight because he thinks Cotto is shot he will find himself with some broken ribs.

There is no way Cotto will lose,if it matters he will go to the balls or rabbit punch or do something that will slow Manny.This will be Zab Judah-Cotto 2,mark my work,a terrible beating for Manny.

I just want to hear what retatd Roach will say

Pacquiao might break some ribs and eventually lose the fight, but at least it was from a fight that he was willing to take, which I couldn't say the same for you-know-who...

they can't make people weigh in on the unofficial scales.

oscar never use to.

that's why it was so weird that he did for the pacquiao fight.

[rob_pro boxer]

Tbh, Stweard in my opinion is the worst choice for Cotto. he should have hired Nach, or even Naazim Richardson.

Totally agree no discredit to Cotto It's just that Pac-man is going to bring real constant strong pressure. Something Cotto can't handle.

What Pacquioa wants:
60/40 at 142

What Cotto wants:
55/45 at 144

That's what they are negociating.

This information has been confirmed by Arum on the link below and the weight issue (144 lbs) by Cotto in El Nuevo Dia (Puerto Rican Newspaper)

However sources in Puerto Rico tells me that Cotto will probably accept 60/40if Pacquiao accepts 144lbs.

We will probably know in the next couple of days.

By the Way the fight will be on the west side and both fighter have a pre agreement on that. Cotto has also refused to make changes to his corner but he thanks Emmanuel Steward for the offer.
