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

Wow, Cotto doesn't speak often but when he does he is RIGHT on the money. Totally agree with what he said about DLH and Hatton.The WW limit is 147, so in that regard Cotto is wrong 145 is a division and its WW. However, that range varies from 141 up to 147 and if the title is put on the line then it HAS to be allowed for Cotto to be up to 147 pounds. If Manny wants to come in at 145 he can, however, if the title is on the line and the WW limit is 147 why does Manny get the rules bent just for him?
I also love how Cotto said he'd fight Manny at a fair catchweight, give him far more of a percentage, and have him pick the date and place. All Cotto is saying if you want the title then follow the rules plain and simple. I love how he is telling it like it is, just the way I like it no bull**** or politics involved.Comment

Do you want a Rican **** up your ass? Because everytime I see your ass in a thread is either defending the cheater or hatin on the WW champion Miguel Cotto. You **** sucker got no self respect.Comment

I'm a fan of both, your clearly just a kid whom doesn't give much thought beyond your own small minded thoughts.
Put 10k up for Cotto like a man, and I'll take it from you down the line.
And stop posting so many one liner ****ty posts, they just make you seem like a kid laughing and keyboarding away, bashing one off to the fat lass in your avatar.
Yes that was harsh. Don't post such ****** **** in future then.Comment

I have self respect but I don't give a flying fuck what you think about me. Like I told that other little fool, some of you Ricans don't know **** about boxing apart from PR boxing.
Besides, I was only talking to Mellow in this thread till the rest of the little bitches butted it.Comment

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.
you mean drying out 1 pound right? cotto has had 8 welterweight fights, 5 of those weigh ins he has come under 147 pounds including his last fight. who's really taking advantage here?
147 is not a division. it is only the max number of a division.
welterweight = 141-147 is the division.
oscar vs hopkins for 160lb title catchweight of 158lbs
pernell vs cesar chavez for 147lb title catchweight of 145lbs
terry norris vs taylor for the 154lb title catchweight of 150 lbs
ray leonard vs tommy hearns 2 for the 168lb title catchweight of 163lbs
(i think, might be lower but catchweight for sure)
ray leonard vs danny lalonde for the 168 & 175 title catchweight of 165lbs
(not sure about exact weight but sure it was under lightheavy & super middleweight)
No rules being broken here & no history being made.
Just look at it this way, the fight is under welterweight limit, say cotto doesnt put up the title but still loses to pac.
How could you possibly feel good about calling yourself a welterweight title holder when you had a fight at welterweight but you lost & u still keep your belt?
Cotto would look ridiculous.
say cotto wins, but still doesnt put up the title. wbo strips him, now he has to fight for another vacant title. All of the titles he has ever gotten are vacant.
again,
cotto would look ridiculous.
What looks better?
A victorious title defense vs a all time great first ballot hall of famer.
put up the title. its the better move.Last edited by DonTaseMeBrah; 07-30-2009, 06:35 PM.Comment

itchin? maybe that dirty ruka in your avatar is. im going for pacquiao. if there's anything we have found out since this fight was conceived its how frail the confidence of boricuas in cotto.
who's making more of a sacrifice here? a career featherweight former flyweight champion current 140 pound champ who has 1 fight at 135,140, & 147 going up 5 pounds to take on a full fledged welterweight?
or
the bigger boxer full fledged welterweight who has 8 fights at welter & out of those 8 fights 5X HE HAS WEIGHED IN UNDER 147 INCLUDING HIS LAST FIGHT; 1 pound more than the agreed weight of the upcoming fight?
yea i thought so too brah.
Sacrifice, everybody in the sport is making a sacrifice by putting their life on the line, it doesnt matter if you coming from 50lbs. @ one point both of the fighters were fighting the same weightclass so dont give that nonsense about who is sacrificing more.
He called out Cotto therefore nothing should be said about that but him trying to become a greater fighter. If he is willing to fight on his own @ that weightclass that means he is ready, therefore no sacrification other than the one you always in is valid. If you want to become a great fighter than fight by the Original rules and lets not have Add-Ons. Or just wait till you get there and not force it.
And yea, if you ask me, the 2lbs is more sacrificial @ the moment because its a last minute thing, which Manny has been in the weighclass before and has been going fine, no excuses there Brah.
Lets not forget to read the whole post before replying there buddy.Last edited by Osirus022; 07-30-2009, 06:39 PM.Comment

Like yours is either talking **** about Margs or defending your God Cotto?? lol
I have self respect but I don't give a flying fuck what you think about me. Like I told that other little fool, some of you Ricans don't know **** about boxing apart from PR boxing.

You said Ricans don't know boxing apart from PR boxing? Well I can only speak for myself and the people I know and let me tell you we follow boxing outside of Puerto Rico and we know pretty much anything there is to know about boxing. But like I said I can only speak for myself.
Now move on and go put the plaster Rican **** Margacheato gave you and stick it in your broken vagina!Comment
