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

[rob6465]

I read a line also before that ODLH said, he is not David Diaz, then Hatton said, he is not ODLH! Then here again, Cotto tells he is not ODLH or Hatton.. Mostlikely PBF would say this too, I am not Cotto, Hatton or ODLH!

Oscar and hatton did not say that, good try.What is sad is everyone thinking a hatton/oscar win is all that great. Sorry but hatton turned down a proposal to fight my 9 yr old neice. Good, my neice would've knocked him out in 1 rd.

Oscar? Neice did not want to waste her time.

Cotto is right. He is no Oscar - and he never will be. I like Cotto, but he's never going to become a 6 division champ. He's also never going to have Oscar's resume. A great fighter? Yes - but I don't see him being a future ATG.

who gives a ***** at least he wont be Pacquiaos ***** in the ring.He actually will put up a fight.

???

i doubt it is already signed........mosely will make this a fair fight and agree to 145 for his title.......it really hard to count manny out vs anybody now ....he's proven himself too many times now.....this fight would be 50/50....

The fight is signed sealed and delivered. Where have you been?

[sangresabia]

cotto talks mad **** for someone who got wobbled by micheal jennings LMAO

Wobbled? By Jennings?

[DonTaseMeBrah]

145 is not a division?

neither is 147.

Welterweight is a division. 145 & 147 are just numbers that is in the welterweight division.


What's next? Baptists are not christian? Only roman catholics are?

[baracuda]

The fight is signed sealed and delivered. Where have you been?

i doubt that.....there are still demands that are not met it seems like,...cotto is askin 147 for the title and manny at 145.....if this fight is already totally done there should'nt be any bs talks like this now....hope this fight does'nt get made....

The funniest thing about this is Shane would have been willing to fight for Pac's title at 140 or his own WBA Welterweight title at 141! He was so desperate for the fight it actually sickens me. Cotto on the other hand, stands his ground like a man, demands that the fight be no lower than 145, and that there will be no belt on the line. I can see him leaving Arum's face red during negotiations! I have never liked Cotto before, but huge props go to him.

I agree with Cotto, that Pac should allow their discretions on what weight they are compatible on scaling from above the 140lbs to 147lbs to make Pac demand for the belt at stake becomes valid. Because WW champ means from above 140lbs to full 147lbs, not from above 140lbs to 145lbs alone!

But I saw at the same time a bad omen from Cotto of not disagreeing with that demand. If Cotto really confident of beating Pac at 145lbs, there is no harm in putiing his belt at stake! At the end of the day, it would be for him! But if he disagree, he knows that he is beatable by Pac, and the risks is big!

Cotto is one of my favorite fighter, however if he will be paired with Pac, I am rooting for Pac. I just could see that Pac is better than Cotto.

Well damn, figs & brady... feelin a little 'Hatey' today, guys?

[sharkeyez]

Getsum, Cotto is talking about the weight limit of 147 lbs. Catch weight's limits are obviously in favor of the larger fighter since it's harder for them to make the weight limit.

[csko-2k1]

he doesn't care about the belt he will let it go,,,its about manny ain't gonna get everything he desires from cotto,its only logic that it be at 147'''why can't manny raise in weight he is the one who wants to fight cotto....
