Cotto's WW Championship Will Not be on The Line vs Pacquiao

[SuckaPunch]

Of course, the Puerto Rican organization (WBO) wouldn't want a little Asian fellow to make a historic run against a Puerto Rican.

It is very obvious.

It shouldn't be. 145lbs is not a fu?king division.

cosign this

[Animalistic]

With that same thought process we should believe every major news outlet in the Phillipines as well?

I don't know the papers in the Philipines so I can''t talk about them, but El Vocero is a credible source.

"Bob Arum announced that he's secured verbal agreements from his fighters to stage a WBO welterweight title bout at a catch weight of 145 pounds."

i think its not true. this fight wouldnt be signed if belt is not on the line

[rizkybizness]

why not? It's not like cotto wouldn't get a chance to win another vacant belt anyway.

maybe he'll go after a David Diaz instead.

GREAT NEWS and im glad!!!!

Should be for a non-title fight anyways. I guess people crying about "why they fighting for a title when it is a catchweight fight" should shut their trap now. Aside from this, Who wants a title belt thAT YOU WON AGAINST friggin Michael Jennings?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

That’s good….we’ll still view Miguel as the legit champion even if he loses

[BOOMbip]

GREAT NEWS and im glad!!!!

You serious Mellow...If Cotto loses and keeps the trinket...Who cares.

I feel he should have put it up...Makes the fight even bigger and if he's confident about winning it's not in danger.
