Cotto: Pacquiao won't beat me

[freeloada]

Miguel Cotto is convinced he will beat Manny Pacquiao in Saturday's Las Vegas superfight.

Cotto is rated the underdog by the bookmakers for the pair's showdown at the MGM Grand, where Pacquiao will be seeking a seventh world title - namely Cotto's WBO welterweight crown.

However, the Puerto Rican is adamant that will not happen.

"If he thinks he is going to win seven titles in seven weight divisions now, he has picked the wrong moment, the wrong fighter and the wrong opponent," said Cotto.

"If he thinks he is going to win the seventh title against Miguel Cotto, he is very wrong."

Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has spoken about how his man could end the fight in the very first round but, not surprisingly, Cotto has scoffed at such suggestions.

"Forget about Freddie Roach," he said when asked about the trainer's comments. "The only thing Freddie can do is train Manny. He can't go over the ropes and into the ring to fight against Miguel Cotto. He can only train Manny the best he can.

"He may say and think Manny will knock me out but at the end of the day, it is just Manny and Miguel Cotto in the ring. No matter what kind of things Freddie Roach says before the fight, I have a very strong mind. The psyche game? I'm not going to follow that game."

There have also been suggestions that the Pacquiao camp are already planning ahead for their man's next fight in March - possibly against Floyd Mayweather Jr - but Cotto says if that's the case then they are playing a dangerous game.

"What they say and what they do does not concern me," Cotto added. "They know what they have in front of him. He better be focused on what they will have in front of him in Miguel Cotto.

"Once I beat Manny Pacquiao they can continue their plans and do what they want but I am not going home without winning this fight."

Instead it could be Cotto facing Mayweather should he win on Saturday night.

Asked about the prospect of such a fight, Cotto said: "I am here for the big names and ready for the hot opponents. That's what boxing needs for the guys at the top to fight other guys at the top, like it was 20 years ago. Make the fights that fans want to watch.

"I am here for any boxer that wants to fight Miguel Cotto. They have to start with my company and I am more than ready to fight the biggest names in boxing."

How can some boxing fans not like Miguel Cotto? He has the same mentality of a Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran. He wants to fight the best and he fights everyone that is put in fron of him.

Boxign fans are lucky to have Miguel Cotto.

Cotto is officially pissing me off with this third person ****. FFS, please stop it Miguel, you're turning into Ricky Hatton. Every time he opens his mouth he's doing it. Why? Just stop trying to be menacing, it's wack. You're not Mike Tyson!

Cotto dont sound so sure. There are no certainties in life. Only death! Pac might beat you, just like you might possibly beat him.
If he hits you on the chin, and your senses dont like it, you could be beat. Just look at your fight with Margarito. He hit you once too many. If you could be beat then, it is possible again.
So dont say Pac WONT beat you.

I don't mind him saying Pacquiao won't beat him, but the third person references -- to me -- are a sign of either being over-confident, like he sees himself as some kind of god, or he doesn't feel confident and is trying to make himself and everyone else feel better. The thing is he doesn't need to do any of this. Manny ain't doing it, and he says Roach isn't getting to him, but he's talking like I've never heard him talk before.

He's doing it just to get under your skin, Sam! Pay it no mind, my friend. Ignore all the talk and enjoy this awesome fight. By the way, good luck on your bets!

I think it's funny how it bugs people...lol.
