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

[JK1700]

As much as this fight is ******, you can't expect Manny to go up to 154, that is WAY too high for him, and if Cotto wants the fight, he'll do it.

Besides, Junior Middleweight is 148-154, so technically it is a Jr. Middleweight fight at any weight in that range.

Nobody is asking Pacquiao to come in at 154.

The bull**** is him not allowing Cotto to come in at his real weight. The catchweight thing isnt to benefit Pacquiao, He can come in at 143 for a welterweight fight and not have a catchweight. But he wants the catchweight because he wants to make sure his opponents arent at 100% and that they are drained. But this shouldnt suprise anyone, Team Pacquiao have been doing this for a while. Whether it's making the opponent fight at an entire weight division below their natural weight (DLH, Morales) or demanding catchweight fights (Cotto) they want every advantage they can get. Even if the opponent is coming off devastating losses (Morales-Raheem, Cotto-Margarito).

Everyone stop blaming Manny and the Manny camp. Are they putting a gun to anyones head forcing them to fight? Let's be BRUTALLY HONEST. Every ONE of those people thought it was an easy win for them against him.

I think its just smokescreens they throw out there to put pressure on Floyd.

If that scenario would happen Cotto would officially have the DUMBEST handlers in the history of ALL sports.

thats what I'm saying Cotto would be just as accountable agreeing to it. I hope he learned from the last fight but he did say he would go back to welterweight for the right fight.

Don't tell Cotto, you mean don't make Cotto sign the contract? Done.

exactly, 148-154, not 148-150/151. No one should allow anyone with a catweight wen the weight class already has a limit. Go all the way to the limit, dont limit it more than it already is.

I disagree with a rematch. The first fight was not even close. Cotto should rematch Margarito instead.

I thought I was the only one who saw that, thank you for backing that up.

What Pac wants, Pac gets. Some of you are saying "I wouldn't co-sign on that", "Manny should be criticize if he do that", ect, will all ignore and fully accept that fight if it happen.
