Pacquiao-Cotto: WBC Approves Diamond Belt Bout

[Epie2]

Instead of a belt, wbc should have created a new weight division between light-welter and welter weights and call it the catch-welterweight division. The weight limit is 145 lbs. and the welterweight division limit be moved up to 149 lbs.

Win it, sell it.

these organizations together with the WBA continuosly destroying the sport of boxing. we the pure boxing fans dont give a **** on this diamond belt, as well as the other alphabet belts. We still prefer for the linear belt, the ring belt, thats the true world champion's belt.

The fight isn't the best possible fight and there talking about making some insane diamond belt for it. Cotto doesn't deserve the fight for one and two pac ****ing up the whole division with these insane exhibitions he calls bouts, there are so many strings attached and factors that cloud these wins that there almost meaningless and costing everyone good fights that matter. Pac should be fighting Marquezor fighting at 147 if he want in. Cotto has a WW belt but don't want to defend it, so it's not even a real fight for the divison.

Arum is selling a second tier product and acting like it's the best possible fight on the planet. he really made it worse by not giving Pac the Oct date he wanted cause now we gonna sit here til ****ing nov to see how the mismatch plays out and it will be a mismatch one way or another, i'm leaning towards pac in this but if Cotto is too big and dominates it wouldn't be a shock either. Cotto is as custom built as they come for Pac at this point, with the possible fights that he has had available, he is easy to hit doesn't handle speed well and is looked at by a very large part of the fans , media and experts broken mentally.

So yeah the fight is a fraudulent at a fraudulent weight with fraudulent title that they invented for the fight and every detail of the fight has been a nightmare from the jump.

Pac could have fought Mosley at 140 or he could have waited on Mayweather if he actually wants the fight, instead we have to watch him fight a guy that looked terrible in his last three fights. Jennings was hardly busy and he was able to stay away from cotto and hit him and he's a BUM, yeah a ****ing BUM...he is nowhere near Cotto's class of fighter and it took Cotto a min to get going, imagine Pacs speed and power, Pac def hits hard than jennings did, Clottey is slow as **** compared to pac and he was hitting him with ease.

I guess if Cotto could take these punches like margorito took his it could turned into a epic fight, but Cotto has never done anything to give anyone a reason to believe he has that stamina toughness or will to do that though. Pacs fans are killing Judah on here today and saying he is nowhere near as fast or powerful as Pac and yet that man gave Cotto massive problems until he was allowed to cheat, so i think this fight will turn out as ****ed up as the negotiations have been. Thats why i say a fraud.

u got some nice points..

with that being said.


care to bet all your points on pac?? let me know

Totally agree & some of the best fights in boxing now are not for belts at all.

[Da Hammer]

just what we need... another damn belt... boxing aint dying but **** like this is what makes people those thoughts because the greedy son of bitches everyday do more and more to make it worse!!!

[Maugrim]

whoever wins this belt should donate this to charity.
