Cotto: "Pacquiao Will Be Another Win For Puerto Rico"

[toyboy33]

I'm not a huge fan of Cotto. He's a warrior though and I think Manny is in for a long night. Just for the hell of it. Anybody want a 50,000 bet? I got Cotto. When and IF floyd fight Pac, I'll bet all my points on Floyd.

For the first time, Miguel Cotto revealed that his WBO welterweight title will be on the line when he meets Manny Pacquiao on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Previously, everyone but Cotto would confirm that the welterweight would be at stake at the catch-weight of 145-pounds. Cotto plans to use his physical size and strenght advantage in the fight to exploit Pacquiao. [details]

Cotto will win this fight no doubt.People are making a big mistake writting him off.I also like the idea that he got more for putting the title on the line.It is good to see smart people like Cotto,he didnt allow himself to be bullied.Everyone in negotiating was against Cotto now he will prove himself in the ring,demolishing pacquaio

Cotto is the bigger guy, and he better fight like it. If he does, he got it locked. If he tries to box, he's gettin ****ed up by Pac.

Cotto will wear down pacquiao's speed with non-stop body shots. After a certain amount of rounds pacquiao's speed will be like judah and malinaggi and that's when cotto will end it. Pacquiao??? You do know this is WELTERWEIGHT, not lightweight/featherweight like marquez, morales, barerra, etc, etc.

this fight for cotto,even on day 1 is more all about how much he will earn rather than how he will be remembered if he defeats pacquiao. imo, this fight will weigh more on pacquiao, but not about his legacy or him making history by becoming the first boxer to win 7 championship belts in 7 different weight divisions. this one has more to do with pac's standing of wether he really is a great boxer or just a good boxer shaped by circumstances. with his past 3 fights viewed by many as no more than a boxing match where he can't absolutely given any credit due to the way he demolished his opponents or how his opponents fared against him. with the cotto fight, he will be given the chance to prove himself if he is worthy of greatness and to silence his critics, detractors and haters alike if he comes out victorious.

I agree with your on your statement about Pacquiao, however I was expecting more from Cotto regarding the belt issue. He had not given any indications from the past not beleive in him (at least in the sport) and at the end he was just bought out.

[rob6465]

Haha, Cotto sounds so smooth and confident when he says things. That's good for him. He's going to be very confident in the fight. But, he did say the exact same thing Diaz, Oscar, and Hatton said. That he's too big, and he'll have the physical advantage over Pacquiao. While I highly believe that moreso than ever with Cotto who is an absolute beast and it took forever for another beast to chop him down with cemented fists(Margarito), it would be a huge mistake for him to underestimate Manny's confidence in fighting a bigger man. Manny doesn't care and is used to it. If he let's Manny fight his own fight, Cotto could be in for a long night.

The difference between cotto and those guys are:
Diaz: Cotto is bigger, stronger and faster
Hatton: Cotto is bigger, faster, better defense and won't leave himself open like hatton did.
Oscar: Cotto will move and throw punches, unlike oscar.

in boxing, everybody has a price tag. in cotto's case, he just use his belt as leverage to earn more and i don't blame him for doing what he did.

i think cotto is mad for putting his title on the line at a catch weight. if it was me id of said 147 or no title, if you wanna win a welterweight title then fight at welterweight! if pac wins, then its a very cheap way to gain a title

for sure, cotto didn't just put his belt on the line for nothing. there must be some concession/s on the part of pac or arum or the wbo for cotto to agree to put his belt on the line.

yeah, its just wrong IMO. whats next? pac fightin for the heavyweight title at a catch weight of 150?!!!!!! you didnt see hatton bitchin around over 2lbs when he stepped up to face a welterweight.
