Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: "Pacquiao's Refusal Raises Questions"

[crillz]

What the ***? Are you really that dense? So according to you every athlete that performs at a high level has to be juicing. ***ing ******!!

dense is taking that 1 line out of such a long post I contributed and only having 1 thing to say regardless of all other points I made..

that isn't even what I'm saying idiot, if you knew how to read AND UNDERSTAND you'd know what I meant, there are MANY guys whose performances don't warrant that kind of thought. look at how he took out the champions of 140 and 147, you ate up all of Freddie Roach's bull**** so much that you can't even fathom him being a cheater but people who are his "nutritionists" were tied to that whole BALCO scam too, there is a lot of back round down to Roach himself who had fighters with NO history of cheating go under his control and leave with a history of it..

consider all things and pull Manny's **** out ya mouth, they say that because even Floyd, the BEST fighter of our generation had troubles moving up, he showed the wear and tear that moving up brings and Manny doesn't? am I supposed to just believe he's some incredible hulk because Freddie Roach and Bob Arum said so? **** outta here I'm not a idiot like you are, sometimes when you do so good you have to explain yourself. stop bringing up other athlete's to bail out Pacquiao from the hot seat..

no other Boxer has done what he's done throughout these times, he should be proud and willing but he's quiet and not willing. you worked all this time to finally have the biggest fight ever and you not gonna take it due to random testing with no cut off periods? who sound crazier there..

lmao, you cant be serious. My god.

classic floyd move like making marquez move up 2 divisions at a catchweight and cheat on the weights. i know how mayweather thinks, he is trying to cover all bases. weaken pac or no fight and you fools fall for it.

[Ray*]

how many excuses does floyd need to convince you that a leapord never changes his spots. pacs taken on the toughest challenges and floyd hasn't even fought a legit welterweight and he has been in that division for how many years.

Pac took on the best challenges no doubt and anyone who want to argue that need to get a check on his boxing knowledge but at the moment the man is tarnishing that legacy that he worked hard for.

No one want to hear a top pro athlete refusing Random drug testing, Its bad for the sport, For that athlete himself and for his competitors.

Miguel Cotto is the true class act in this sport, the true humble guy who will fight anyone to prove his warrior spirit, and who will take any test to prove he is a clean and honorable man.

I'm impressed everytime I read a statement from Cotto, he doesn't duck any fighter and he doesn't duck any blood test.

It raises doubt in everyone's eyes, why Manny Pacquiao is refusing to be drug tested on a random date, why he's turning down close to $40 Million in exchange for a drop of his blood. Why is the so-called humble man avoiding a simple drug test?

Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and the other clean and honorable men who love the sport of Boxing, advocate Olympic style drug testing because the only losers in this style of testing are the cheaters.

We've heard every excuse in the book from Pacquiao, from fear of needles, to superstitions, and every one of his excuses have been ripped apart and exposed as lies. I think there should be an investigation done on his Team, and a potential law-suit should be filed from all of his previous opponents who might have lost to a disgraceful and cheating athlete.

It's Ironic, you uses USADA on your username yet you have little knowledge about drug testing. Your opinons are based on speculations. enlighten me with some FACTS about Pac alleged steroid use.

[ChopperRead]

Bob Arum put an end to that yesterday.....

He said he seen Pac getting a tube of blood drawn 14 days before he KO'd Hatton in 2 rounds.....

That means he wasnt weakened.

Try again.

That's a new one. When Federer plays Nadal in tennis, next time the loser can say the Olympic drug testing they have to do "weakened" him. That is a crock of ****, frankly. It's the same for both athletes, period.

[crillz]

Olympic testing is the future, anyway. It IS the only way to know for sure. Does it inconvenience the athletes? Sure. A lot of tennis players don't like it, but they have to do it anyway. I can't see why boxing should be exempt. We all want to know that what we are seeing is on the up and up.

exactly man it's only right

[fcastro1]

by your logic... we must assume that packy was trying to weaken cotto when team pac asked for 145 then right????

we are talking about blood.

[USADA]

by your logic... we must assume that packy was trying to weaken cotto when team pac asked for 145 then right????

That was absolutely disgraceful. It's well documented that Cotto was struggling at 140 in the later part of his career at that weight, which is why he moved up to 147.

Team Pacquiao, being the catch-weight, weight penalty, diamond belt, past prime fighting, type of team they are, requested 143lbs from Cotto initially. It was an obvious attempt to try and weaken the fighter as much as they good, while still trying to fight for his belt.

Now, Pacquiao is refusing a simple drug test and turning down close to $40 Million in exchange for a drop of his blood. An absolute disgrace to the sport of Boxing that I love. I'm an advocate of Olympic style drug testing, because I wish one day we can all have confidence everyone is fighting fair.

[Tomasio]

Very well said..

I totally agree with Cotto...No fighter should refuse this type of testing, unless that fighter knows he's going to fail the drug test....And I've been saying all along that they should make this type of testing mandatory in all of boxing...

[Go Blue]

we are talking about blood.

What will weaken you more........

Losing 2 Pounds or a teaspoon of blood.

How weak did Pac look vs. Hatton when he KO;d him in 2 rounds....

Oh yeah he had a tube of blood drawn beofre that fight...

Nice try.

Even Arum aint buying that.
