    Yeah is easy for you to sit on your ass and say "Is his fault if he agreed" You are not the one that has to turn down millions of dollars. Cotto has put his body on the line for his whole career and has never gotten the mega fight he deserves. Now he can get it but Pacquiao and Roach won't let him be at his best and it makes me sick.

      It's gonna be at 144. Cotto wants 145 and Pac wants 143...makes sense.

      144 is pushing it for Cotto. I think he could potentially make it fairly comfortably, but it's risky.

      144 is sort of fair though IMO. I just don't think it's necessary.

        Look i understand what your saying but i mean....the fact remains he can turn them down, hes started he wont go below 145 n im sure he wil stick to that.... but pac is the smaller fighter....why should pac have to come up to cotto? why should cotto have to go down to pac? .... its always gona be argued in a catch weight....

        Cotto does deserve a mega fight in my eyes...hes amazing and he will fight any1....but if hes gonna be fighting out of his best...then dont take the fight..im sure he could get a huge fight with mosley...or a marg 2 which every1 would wanna see....(althought i dnt think marg deserves to be boxing)....thts jst the way the cookie crumbles

            Because he wants the WW tittle and Cotto has it. And **** this "He is small" crap. The dude has mad skills and already beat Oscar De La Hoya at WW, who by the way is much bigger ( in size) than Cotto.

              Cotto has not accepted the 143 catch weight, and has insisted he won't. This fight should not be for Cotto's belt at any weight less than 147. If you want a welterweight belt, you should have to fight as a welterweight.

                Why "**** the he is small crap" ... its a fact....just cos hes got mad skills he should fight when he has no chance?....there are weight divisions for a reason....Ye he battered oscar...but we all know that oscar was jst terrible...he couldnt even throw a punch....

                N ok if he wants the WW title fair enough...but if its done at a catchweight under 147...it shouldnt even be a WW title fight....either way...cotto shouldnt agree if its below 145....even at 145 pac will get alot of credit for winning and cotto wil get credit too...

                All im saying is you keep pointing the finger at Pac and Roach...but if the fighter agrees to their terms...why should they be blammed? its down to cotto to pick..

                  fight should be at 144-145...

                  i get the feeling pacquiao is treating this fight as a tune up...

                    exactly doesnt matter if pac wants 143, cotto said hes not having it under 145 plain and simple. for some insane reason he does go 143 then he deserves to get ktfo.
