Roach: "Pacquiao Doesn't Need Cotto Without The Belt"

[JACK D. RIPPER]

you know what cotto needs to do to put even more heat on pac to have the fight at 147,


go do a live interview with one major philippine newschannel. let the whole filipino people know whats going on so they can hear directly from miguel & not some biased philippine writer.

that would seriously put the onus on team pacquiao.

It already is. Only that *******s pretend not to notice.

Everyone else gets it.

I think Mosley will not care if his Belt will be put on the line!!!
Mosley is a little difficult fight hard than Cotto for Pac!!!

I have no problem Pac facing Cotto or Mosley as long as its Title Fight~
I agree with Roach the Belts are overrated..... But the reality is fighters need it!

It's not all about the money...

Co-sign...

Roach & Pacquiao need to stop being bitches!

I have been a member to this site forever now and I have never ever commented until now. What compels me to finally post a comment is the disgust that I feel when I read this bull**** from Roach. The welterweight limit is 147 pounds. It was 147 when Sugar Ray Robinson won the title, it was 147 when Sugar Ray Leonard won it, it was 147 when Cotto won his, SO WHY IN THE **** DO THESE ****ING ******* WANT OR FEEL THAT THE TITLE SHOULD BE ON THE LINE IF ITS NOT AT 147?


I use to have alot of respect for Pacquiao and Roach but after such a ***** move I can no longer feel the same way.


If you want a welterweight title then fight at 147 & if you dont want to fight at 147 then SHUT THE **** UP ABOUT A TITLE!

This is true.


Pacquiao can fight anyone in the world. He's giving Cotto a chance to make more money than he has in any fight of his life.

Advantage is already for Cotto being that he's only 2 pounds under a weight that he makes very comfortably, as was seen by his 146lbs. weigh in, in his last fight against Clottey.


Cotto is fighting an uphill battle here, IMO. He doesn't have anyone else to fight that will make him anywhere near the amount of money, or anywhere near the amount of exposure and notariety that this fight will give him.


Cotto is a star right now in PR and NY, but is a virtual unknown on the West Coast outside of hardcore boxing fans.

This fight will change that for him, whether he wins or loses.

He needs to do whatever it takes to make this fight happen. His mystique that he carried as an undefeated fighter is gone, and he is looking more human in every fight.

So he has to bend over ? Son cotto is a man & stands up 4 what he belives in he doesn't need manny to give him no fight he's been fighting big fights for big $ b4 manny came to the 140s & 147s so if PAC fight don't happen he ain't going hungry trust me

^ Wow, you waited 2 years to drop that piece of **** line ?

LOL.


The word 'limit' means that it is the maximum weight a fighter can weigh during weigh ins.

Technically, any fight within 141-147lbs. can be considered a welterweight fight.


Cotto is just trying to play hardball, in a battle that he cannot win. People are lining up around the block to enter the Pacquaio sweepstakes.

For whoever it might be, it will be the biggest fight, as well as the biggest payday of their entire career.

If Cotto wants to play hardball, Pacquiao can easily find another opponent, and Cotto can stick to fighting the Bertos and Jennings of the boxing world.

Like who?

Who will he fight that will make people care more than Cotto?

[fragilety]

why all the screw pac and roach comments? people tend to forget that 147 is the maximum welterweight limit and not the division itself.

should hte title not have been on thwe line against clotty because cotto came in officially at 146? or whne oscar fought bernard for his undisputed title, both came in light

[buckdacious]

Mosley of course

not really. pac holds all the cards he can go any which way. what i meant witht that post is to play to pac's pride & manhood.

by seeing cotto talk to his people so directly it would propel pac to go against everybody that's been whispering in his ear including roach & arum & take offense to what miguel could say & end up fighting him for the belt at 147.

the fight is 145. onus is on both fighters. miguel sort of looks silly hiding the welterweight belt when the fight is gonna take place in the welterweight division.


how silly would cotto look if he didnt put the belt on the line & lost to pac in a welterweight fight?

he would look completely ridiculous.
