Breaking News! Cotto's strap up for grabs by Manny Pacquiao

[Da Hammer]

If he wants the belt then fight at the right weight, 147. Pacquaio is not bigger than the sport, special rules are not owed to him. Man up and make the fight at 147 if you want the belt.

How are they making "special rules" for Pac? again people can ***** all they want but the WW limit is 140-147 so it can be on the line as long as its in that range. the Pac hating is out of control on these boards!

[Talisayen]

If I look at it complaints (catchweight) and excuses (drained) are justifications of the imminent defeat of Cotto.

Think positively, Cotto might reach the 6th round if he rehydrate to 160 lbs during fight night.

You're right, Manny is terrified of what will happen to Cotto after the fight.

[Mayweather Sr]

Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel, lawyer and president of the World Boxing Organization, is not tone deaf.

Valcarcel has heard the cry from the millions of Manny Pacquiao fans and those who devoutly follow the fistic fortunes of Boricua Bomber Miguel Angel Cotto.

As I reported, Cotto has thought he could hold the WBO welterweight title hostage and use it as a blackjack on the head of the Pacquiao-Cotto Nov. 14 promoter Bob Arum.

I caught up with Valcarcel as he was going through airport security somewhere and we had a brief conversation Friday afternoon.

Whatever happens in Cotto’s money play with Top Rank’s top dog, Valcarcel said that Pacquiao fans, Cotto fans and fight fans in general can relax.

“I know that Manny is looking to make boxing history. I can appreciate that as he goes after the very tough Cotto for a seventh weight division world title,” Valcarcel said.

“You can tell all the people right now, the WBO title will be on the line. You’ve got a highly respected champion fighting the Number One contender. It would be ridiculous for this not to be for the title.

“No matter what happens, I assure you that this will be a WBO welterweight title fight. End of story.”

Yes, you can say, well Paco is a boxing politician. That much is true.

But, unlike many politicians, he has his finger on the pulse of the people.

Good call, El Presidente

That was the same website that made fake quotes of Shane Mosley. So don't believe this unlles credible source says the same thing.

Say this for Sugar Shane Mosley, the man never gives up.

Hearing that Miguel Angel Cotto is balking at defending his WBO welterweight title against Manny Pacquiao Nov. 14, Mosley is ready to rush in where this Angel fears to tread or at least fears to tread with his title stap.

“What does Manny want? Mosley asked on Thursday. “He can have all my old title belts. They just sit in my garage and gather dust as it is.
."I’ve got an old pool table I never use. I’ve got some great old music on those eight track things. I could also wash and wax Manny’s cars if he likes.

“Manny can have it all if he wants it…hell, Manny can even have cutman Cassius Greene's sailor's cap. Do you know what you could get for that on Ebay?"

Mosley said he is getting "a bit desperate" for his second bout of 2009.

"I got expenses, i got upkeep, I got kids," Mosley said. "If I don't get a fight sometime soon, I will be as broke as the State of California, you heard? I was thinking of getting a day job because with Golden Boy I only have to show up for press conferences and fights. And I have to laugh at the stupid jokes Oscar, Richard and Bernie Hopkins make. When did BHop fight last, 1998?"

Mosley also said he doesn’t see himself getting “Employee Of The Month” honors at Golden Boy for July.

“Richie Rich put in a suggestion box. So I wrote a note about the Marquez-Mayweather GBP promotion for Sept. 19.

“I think the ’Numero Uno’ theme is ridiculous and I wrote that. My idea was they call ’The War For Number Four,” Mosley said. “That makes more sense.

“I mean The Blind Boys of Alabama can see Pac is The Man, the Numero Uno, and I am Number two until I fight and beat him.

“So simple logic dictates that Juan Ma, who lost twice to Manny, and Mayweather who abandoned his Pound For Pound position and let Manny swipe it, can only be competing for third and fourth place.”

Mosley’s comments came to me at night.

In a dream.

And I was born at night.

But not last night.

Come on, 1 lb won't even put a dent on Cotto's physical strength. Stop the excuses now 'cause it's getting old.

seems like you guys are losing faith with your idol.
