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

[sangresabia]

All of a sudden everyone is fighting everyone. Catch weights are bull****

I disagree. I think it's a good thing that more fights are possible because of catchweights. I do agree that trying to make somebody like Cotto go down to 143 is B.S.

[TOBYLEE1]

Cotto made a lot of concessions to get the fight in Manny's favor. They left the title out of the contract and now they are interested in it. If they want the title then they would have to allow Cotto to come in at 147. Chavez came at 142 or 143 when he fought Withaker for his ww title. In the very end we have to of the top fighters facing each other in November

Co-sign. Who cares if the belt is on the line? Everybody wins except Pac's handlers I guess.

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]

cotto, thats not the way to get more fans. calling hatton overrated and mocking DLH would not do you any good. pac and may dont even talk trash to hatton and you are calling him overrated?


cotto, just pray that this doesnt reach the fans in manchester because this will give you negative reputation

[GRUSTLER]

And that's why Top Rank, ESPN, El Nuevo Dia, Boxing Scene, etc., have all confirmed the fight. That's also why there's a 3-city press tour already scheduled. Is that you, Ms. Palin?

Ha ha ha ha!!! That's what I tried to tell him and dude
went in on me like I was making this up. Arum already
made the announcement, had the press meeting and named
the match up "Fire Power" it's a done deal.

Hey genius, nobody is making excuses about the catchweight. All Cotto is saying is that he's not going to put the belt on the line and that he is neither overrated or way past his prime. That's it. The only excuses I expect to hear after the fight is how Pac was the smaller man and never should have fought a legit WW. If I'm wrong you wont hear anything from PR fans. We don't play like that. You should have seen and heard how we applauded Pac at the Cotto/Clottey fight. Funny how a fighter as respectful and professional as Pac has so many ignorant and trash-talking fans.

Einstein, if you stop talking about the catchweight bull**** probably you won't see me giving offensive remarks about Jotto.

Why are you so concerned about the WBO belt. Just wait and let's see who's the better fighter and stop complaining about the people around them it's freaking irrelevant.

he's just saying the truth, wether u like it or not, and who gives a **** about manchester's fan, this is boxing not soccer.

That's what i'm talking bout Cotto stand your ground don't let Roach and Manny play you like they do to the rest of their opponents. He wants the title he should fight at the weight Cotto had to fight and defend it at. Cotto by KO.

you just mad cause the midget is not getting his way this time

[sharkeyez]

I think Cotto is not the same fighter after the Margarito bout. He left something in that ring that night.
