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

[boxingfan76]

...it's also because i'm tired of reading annoying & nonsense things around here...

THEN QUIT READING YOU OWN defend pac at any expense posts!!

[boxingfan76]

Another nonsense when did Roach said that, actually he respect Cotto but only believes that Pac's fast pace will neutralize his ability after the later rounds...Cotto is very strong & great champion, no question about it...

roach is just quoted as saying that in fight h ype .com

Why should Manny have it both ways? You want Cotto to drain himself to make weight, so you're at an advantage. Fair enough--you hold the clout to negotiate that, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. The money isn't equitable, so why should Cotto put both his belt and weight on the line?

I fail to understand how making the most money you have ever made in your career by fighting the p4p best fighter in boxing is a ***** move?


Sometimes you have to make concessions in life to get to the top.

How is letting this fight slide good for Cotto's career?

I think a ***** move would be letting ****** pride get in the way of your future success.

So some people on the internet will say he folded in the negotiations...So the H-E-Double hockey sticks What!...He goes on and beat Manny Pacquiao and he's the one making demands and forcing concessions from his next opponents...

or he can fight Andre Berto...Then try to fight Shane Mosley or Money that may be coming off a Pacquiao win and he will be in the same position in the negotiations again...getting demands imposed on him instead of making them.

If he fights Pac now...and wins...he gets to call the shots in his next fight...why don't you guys see that?

you must be talking to an authentic, irrational egoistic dude.....
pride and principle sometimes result to blind logic....
cotto will simmer down and cabwebs will clear his mind.
this fyt will go as scheduled

non sense is your train of thought , would pac go and fight margarito? hhmmmm? what about mosley ??? pfff not even at 140 would your ***** midget champ face mosley what about clottey would pac ever even consider him? FAWK NOOOOOOOOOOO THAT LITTLE MIDGET WOULDNT!!!!!!!!! PFFFFFFFFFF

If i really entertain you makes me nonsense...but it's for the sake of other fans to have a hint of what you posts ever since...

I completely agree with Cotto here. Welterweight is max 147. If you don't allow a man to max out under the rules, then how can you say you deserve to be WW champion?

I really love the way Cotto is playing this. Give up the belt if they insist on it, but enough with all the primadonna demands. He gave you the catch weight, Pac. Just shut up and fight.

Then you put a link in your post to support it & make it legit...maybe some other time i will respect you...

[Mr. Philadel]

The tug of war is still going for the WBO welterweight title. Miguel Cotto refuses to make it a title fight when he steps in the ring against Manny Pacquiao on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao wants the title to be on the line. The fight is scheduled to take place at a catch-weight of 145-pounds and Cotto refuses to defend the title unless Pacquiao agrees to face him at the full welterweight limit of 147. He says Pacquiao can have the title or the catch-weight but he can't have both. [details]

they should've manned-up from the door and took on the TOP WW......Mosley!......now the fight that they saw as the EASIER of the 2 might not happen ......props to Cotto for being REAL about this ****......147 for the strap or 145 for a check.......thats whats up!!!

your respect doesnt mean **** to me.your a ******* through and through youd have more credibility if you didnt defend pac even when he does **** no-class moves like this one.cotto right its at 147 pac and his goons are WRONG

[jetgeomcx]

Oh ****ing please stop with the bullcrap... Youre not talking to a little internet dweeb here, ok buddy???

How many damn CHAMPIONSHIP fights were fought at catchweights before anyone ever heard of PACQUIAO??? ****ing countless... Its a part of boxing even more so in the past...

You people speak about Cotto at his best,,,, what about PAC at his best??? His best is at 140 not 145 or 147.... PAc is willing to meet Cotto more than half way.... Where is your peoples heart, pride, sense of fairness, and this so called latin machismo when all I ever read are you people hiding behind a mesley two pounds???

And, FYI, Cotto had every intention of fighting Pac even during the Pac/Hatton fight so its a farce to think that Pac is the only one that did some posturing...

evrything is true!!
cottofans worry too much about cotto not in his best at 145...
weight-drained,??.....my arse!!
cotto readily said 145,...not 143 as first asked by team pacman.
these macho muchachos want 147 so their hero surely wins...not giving manny a fair fyt.
manny called cotto out??!!?
NO, manny chose cotto from among all that call manny out!!

BUT HE DIDNT CHOOSE MOSLEY OR JMM DID HE?its funny how the ones whom present the stiffest challenge are the ones pac turns a blind eye to.
