Caguas .- The Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, Welter Champion of the World Boxing Council (OMB), said today that it is indifferent whether to fight at 145 pounds against Filipino Manny Pacquiao the next November 14.
Cotto with a mark of 34-1, has fought at 147 pounds since he won the Puerto Rican Carlos Quintana in December 2006 for the vacant title Welter of the World Boxing Association.
Previously it had in the Light Welter division, where he defended the crown five times the OMB.
Pacquiao, with a 49-3-2 record, has never done a contest in 147 pounds, though in his fight against Mexican-American Oscar De La Hoya on December 6, 2008, did so in the 145 lbs.
"No matter whether it is 145 pounds. That was the weight we said from the beginning and in the ring, climbing eight to ten pounds," Cotto said after completing a press conference for the presentation of a poster on Friday his company will Promotions Miguel Cotto in Caguas, a town near San Juan.
The Puerto Rican boxer said "we are awaiting confirmation of the fight", which said that "we very seriously and commitment."
It did not impress him "nothing" for the work he has done Pacquiao in his last fights, where he achieved victories over David Diaz, De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in three different divisions.
"I'm not impressed at all. He has two arms, and me too. The things in life arrive when they arrive," he said.
He said that back in the gym three weeks after a wound on his left eyebrow, which cost him 21 stitches, was completely healed after a header that was his last triumph in the June 13 before the Ghanaian Joshua Clottey.
"We wound healed and we are resting. Virtually scar. We will work for a good fight. People know how it works Miguel Cotto," said the boxer, who will return to Tampa (Florida, USA) to join their training, as it did against Clottey.
He stated that his working group, led by coach Joe Santiago, will remain intact even though they admitted that there were some errors in his fight against Clottey.
