Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Cotto II Would Be at a Catch-Weight, Says Koncz

[decipher]

im in the minority but i would like 2 see cotto redeem himself vs pacquiao. tottally understand if your not a fan of cotto and want 2 see manny fight some1else. BUT this fight better not be at a ****ing catchweight. pacquiao is on somebull****. roach said the same **** about manny not being able 2 fight at 147 so he wanted cotto "as low as possible". they agreed to 145. then after the cotto fight he fights clottey at 147. that was some bull**** right there. now this other ***** is talking about another catchweight in the rematch??? this is unbelievable.

i agree i would love to see cotto redeem himself but it was not fair the first time because of the catch weight and it seems like more of the same this time around...sounds to me like they are protecting pac at the expense of other boxers...hopefully pac doesnt seriously hurt anyone.

Nothing is concrete as of yet so lets not blow this up too much especially since its coming from Koncz.....

He won't say no.

I mean he COULD say no, but at the end of the day Team Pacquiao is backing him into a corner. He has options at 154, but none would bring him as much money as Pacquiao would. Money is the key especially when it looks like Cotto's career might be winding down.

i agree...

Yea because Bringing a guy up 19 pounds to oscars perfect weight is so much more fair then Oscar going down 3 pounds and Pac going up 12.

Is it Mannys fualt Oscar couldnt manage his weight correctly and came in at 145 and needed IV to rehydrate?

If he did it correctly he would have weighed close to 160 fight night but obviously ****ed up, its all his fualt

i understand that you are going strickly based on numbers and i cant argue that...but the last time he fought at 147 was 2001. he went manny yrs fighting at 154. he was not comfortable at 147. yes he fought forbes at 150 but even in that fight he was a shell of himself. in my opinion he lost to forbes as well.

If this actually goes down Manny is a ****ing fraud. I'm praying it doesn't. Is this what's boxings come to?? Winning world titles at ****ing catchweights??

Their contract would NOT allow Oscar to rehydrate to his normal weight.He had to weigh 147 on fight night as well.....
It was just another exploit from Manny's team....it is becoming all too familiar.

Hey it had to be a compromise, no way Manny is gonna go 3 weight classes and 19 pounds up to DLH's best weight......im sure that NO fighter would do this
