Cotto: "Hey Freddie, I am Not De La Hoya or Hatton"

[jowee]

nice counter by cotto--smart move.

[ricky1978]

Belts are officialy pronounced to "champs" at 147.Not anything under that.






So roach/manny can take the "advantage" of drying cotto out for 2lbs in theyre favor but why cant cotto make the BALANCE and to his favor bribe them through the belt?




Maybe you forgot there's something called "fair marketing".





You want legacy,pay it at it's full price.If by all means every pound.

true, well said.

WBO is desperate to collect the fee for this fight, they know are totally wrong by pushing this fight when the maximum weight allowed is 145 pounds. If Pacquiao want the belt from Cotto, then the fight should be at 147. Like Cotto said, he is not De la Hoya or Hatton. I will say one more time and probably hundred more times, Cotto will destroy Pacquiao in 6 rounds.

Miguel Cotto wants to send a message to Freddie Roach, the trainer of Manny Pacquiao - "be ready for a war." Cotto doesn't want Roach to think Pacquiao will have an easy night on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Cotto does not want to be compared to Pacquiao's most recent victims, Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton. [details]

Everything Cotto said is 100 percent true.

WTF??!!!

There is no debating FACTUAL EVENTS IN HISTORY.....

Its like debating WW2, Holocaust, the War in Iraq....

There is no debating... THESE ARE FACTS!!!!

WTF?!!!
Too bad were not debating WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq, Or Holocaust...????????? Those are facts.
But you backing Chicana who is backing Margacheato...is Comical and very dumb. Opinions are debatable, especially dumb ones.

Well if I do go, most likely my girl will go too. So I know the feeling lol. I know that place looked packed for Marquez/Diaz.

Like the time you defended Margarito before he was suspended, and you said if they find he was going to cheat they should ban him forever...then when they did he your dumbass said..."he didnt actually use them"....OWNED.

Yea thats Ownage right there, cannot argue wit that

[Iceta]

If Cotto beats Pacquiao I will finally be at least somewhat sold on him being an A level or at least a B+ to an A- fighter. I respect Cotto for getting in the ring with Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley. But he got beaten badly in the fight with Margarito and won razor thin decisions over Clottey and Mosley. I want to see Cotto finally put a stamp on a victory against an elite opponent if I'm going to hear of how his most hardcore fans continue to talk about how great he is. I expect him to rise to the occasion with or without the catch weight even though I think that what Pacquiao is doing is bull****.

[Osirus022]

is this dude self owning himself with his own words?

On his defense of margarito while downing resto he says...
"one was an attempt and the other was proven. Always you fail."- chicana79us

then he says trinidad was a cheater.
With his own words....one was found guilty and banned(margacheato) while one was never found or tried to be guilty of anything(trinidad).
Trinidad- hall of fame
margarito- hall of shame
trinidad- extra gauze
margarito-plaster
trinidad- "please re-wrap"
margarito-"***** we busted yo ass!"
trinidad- ko artist
margarito-hard head
trinidad-great fighter
margarito-glorified journeyman
trinidad-living legend
margarito-living cheater
trinidad-tito!
Margarito-cheato!

he cant say they didnt own him there, thats a "you got fired" type of talk.

[Beater_of_ass]

this is a exercise in futility....

again, what rules are being broken here?

welterweight = 141-147.

145= 141-147 = welterweight division.

How ridiculous would it be if cotto lost & still kept his title when he just fought a fight at welterweight?

do u not see that?

Um... because the fight would be non-title that's how he would do it. But the point I'm making is that the LIMIT to WW is 147, why does Cotto have to fight at 145 JUST because that's Manny wants? As just because they are fighting "within" the WW division doesn't mean its worth of a title, especially if you are essentially CHANGING the rules to limit the fight at 145. Cotto is not saying he won't put the title on the line, all he is saying is that if it happens the limit should be at 147 like it is intended. I mean jesus, Manny wants the title and wants his rules applied all Cotto is saying is "Fine, but we're keeping the rules how they were intended." I see no problem with what Cotto is doing and I don't see why Manny won't take the fight at 147. I'm sure that is the weight he'd fight Mayweather at with or without a title at stake.

Wow... so it doesn't matter how a guy wins it matter how well he looks doing it? The guys you just mentioned, ESPECIALLY Mosley are elite fighters and Cotto won a fought against an elite fighter, if Cotto is a so called B fighter WTF does it make these other guys? This is almost the dumbest comment I've seen on here, followed only by "Cotto struggles against guys at or above his level." Well no ****, if he destroyed them he'd be ABOVE their level, and against the opposition he's fought, whom are all the best in the division he comes out on top. I guess that's the sad way of the world however, Manny wasn't GREAT until he beat DLH and demolished Hatton. When he was facing Marquez or Morales in the first fight he wasn't nearly as heralded. Then we have Mayweather who has only fought the number 8 ranked WW according to Ring Magazine and thats supposedly "HIS" division and he's the #1 or #2 P4P by most accounts.
