Cotto not so confident of beating Pac?

[DiLLiNGER]

first of, this is just my opinion and im a fan of both fighters. hope posters here will be respectful with their replies and discuss this matter with intelligence


if cotto wants to remain as a champ, why not pay the sanctioning fees since he will be stripped of the title anyway if he doesnt. if hes really confident of beating pac, then why not put it on the line against him and defend it with ease?

by the way, pac is now ranked by the wbo as #1

thats the reason i wanted mosley to fight pacquiao..he had all the confidence..makes also the weeks b4 the fight more interesting when both fighters feel confident of winning the fight.

again your thread is about confidence and the 147 thing shows that roach and team are not confident about fighting cotto at full strength. but i know you dont want to hear that so a direct answer to your question is i think cotto not putting the belt on the line has more to do with buisness(sanctioning fees ect) and dealing with wbo than cotto scared to put it up. and i also do belive that when all is said and done the belt will be on the line.

the thread is about cotto's confidence, not manny's ok? and business wise, cotto defending the belt against pac is good for him since he will remain a champ if he beats pac anyway. so why not pay the fees and defend it? pac is ranked #1 by the wbo anyway so this should be a mandatory defense

HOLY ****, WTF is that, i feel sick you modda****a.

because bro... 145 limits cotto the current champ of his right to fight at 146 or 147 ... the weight he always comes in to win. 145 isnt bad tho because manny is naturally the smaller frame. fair fight in my opinion.

i understand you argument bro but again, having the fight at 147 is not mandatory. they can fight for the title at 145

so why pay fees????? wbo will strip him and out it on the line for the winner cotto will get his title back and saved 300k's **** valcarcel's cheap ass!!!!! maybe the ibf put the belt up for grabs too.

he will get stripped if doesnt pay the fee, if he pays the fee and wins against pac, obviously he keeps the belt. having the ibf belt on the line is a good idea too
