Mayweather-Pacquiao Will Take Time, Says Arum

[cottofan2]

I would not be surprised if Mayweather-Mosley negotiations started soon. Mayweather prefers to deal with Golden Boy instead of Arum. He will offer Mosley 70/30 of a big pot and because Mosley needs the money and knows that a win over Mayweather would net him MUCH more in a rematch or other fight, he will take it. It may be sooner than people think (January). Mayweather may not wait for the Cotto-Pacquiao winner.

It seems a lot of people are so looking forward to a Pac/Mayweather fight that they are looking past Cotto. Cotto is the biggest roadblock to their plan coming to fruition. Does Roach honestly think he has the harder puncher? Why, because Manny KOed Hatton? Mr. Magoo could hit Ricky Hatton. Because he beat up De La Hoya? Even Roach knows that Oscar was drained and had an IV in him right before the fight.

Cotto is not a weight drained guy or an overrated brawler. Pacquiao's best chance to win is to hit and move, in and out using hand and foot speed combined. If he tries to brawl with Cotto, Pacquiao will get hurt badly. If Margarito with loaded gloves could not knock out Cotto, what makes anyone think Pacquiao can?

Pacquiao may be the biggest money fight Mayweather can get, but Pacquiao's value will plummet after November 14th.

This guy knows his stuff!!

I never heard ROACH say they'll **** with COTTO, he did say that if they think COTTO has power, he is confident that PACQUIAO has power too. Now if ROACH did say that then i agree with you, but I doubt he said that. Second of all did you even watch the fight against DLH, watch round 7th and 8th and see if PACQUAIO's punches were not hurting DLH. If it wasn't hurting DLH then why the **** is he in a defensive mode for most of both rounds. If he was not getting hurt, then why did he quit. Its because after the 8th round DLH knows that more bodyshots will make him go down, and he didn't want to lose the fight by getting KO by a much smaller guy. If he wasn't hurting then why did he quit like a little *****. Thats probably the reason VICTOR ORTIZ quit against MAIDANA, because he learned from the best, to quit in your stool rather than get KNOCK the **** out. I really can't comment at the moment on what PACQUIAO can do against MAYWEATHER. As much as i dislike MAYWEATHER, he was phenomenal in defeating MARQUEZ. In that fight, i learned one thing, that MARQUEZ was not fast as they claimed in the 24/7, to me he was much slower. Another thing I learned is that MARQUEZ moving up in weight didn't carry his power, unlike PACQUIAO who's power and speed is still with him even thought he move up in weight. With that said, if PACQUIAO gets past COTTO, then the potential MAYWEATHER fight will be his toughest fight of his career hands down. The only way I see PACQUIAO beating MAYWEATHER is by a KO, which is very very difficult, but not impossible. I don't see PACQUIAO beating MAYWEATHER by outpointing him. In my opinion MAYWEATHER will be heavily favored, but that is one fight that i will put my bet on PACQUIAO win or lose, it will be worth it.

No offense but I don't think you needed 24/7 to figure those things out.

Manny has to get past Cotto first so this might take more time than you think. Cotto might be the spoiler in this one folks. Just maybe. I am sort of leaning towards Cotto because Manny is too small for Mayweather too. I want to see Floyd fight someone his own size like Mosley or Cotto.
We shall know more in roughly .....
54 days 2 hours 18 minutes 50 seconds




Yes I am counting the days

Thats got to be the contradiction of the day , Manny is too small for Floyd but ok for Cotto ,,,,,, ahhhhhm hello where you been , Cotto is a lot bigger than Floyd !!!

[switchsouthpaw]

Floyd fans are delusional at best, at worst they are certifiable.

[Xcusemymood]

Arum stressed that while Mayweather “could look past the Juan Manuel Marquez fight Manny can’t look past Cotto.” He explained that the Puerto Rican star had lost only once to a guy (Antonio Margarito) who they think had his gloves loaded and he was beating him until towards the end.”

No one is looking past Cotto. Did anyone bother reading the article.

green k dude thats hilarious

I saw Cotto Sat night when he came to my show in Tampa. He looked to already be around 155 or so.....

I'm telling you, Cotto KO's Pac within 7.

And all this talk about Pac-Floyd is just ******. Pac went life and death TWICE with JMM who Floyd just made look like a 3 fight amateur. I dont really like Floyd and I think he's an ass, but he would spank Pac so bad it isnt even funny.........

@One Punch: If everyone wants to state that Pacman fought damaged goods/leftovers from Mayweather, the same goes for JMM. Floyd was just fed damaged goods. And if you don't believe that, then believe this: Styles make fights. JMM bum rushed Floyd and paid. Pac would come in bobbing, weaving and jump in and out and he's much faster than Floyd... You can't just base one common opponent on how each will fare against the other...

to say that Pac is "much faster" than Floyd is just silly. JMM was able to hit Pac quite a bit, but JMM couldnt hit Floyd with a bucket of water.

I dont believe in "triangle theories" all that much as far as outcome is concerned, but you can clearly see the speed difference looking at the common opponents of Pac and Floyd. Floyd has the speed edge all day.....

Floyd went life and death with Oscar and Manny destroyed him
