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

[Boxing Scene]

Before I get cursed out again by awesome Larry, I'll leave my humble opinion that Manny isn't forcing a fight with anyone. Don't sign the contract if you don't want the fight, period.

Wow! Another catch weight for the current P4P king, fighter of the decade lol.
Pacquaio vs Cotto II at 149 for the jr middleweight crown. What a joke

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.

dude, they are responsible, they are offering cotto a deal he really cant refuse. one he's promoted by arum as well secondly, cotto is a warrior, he'll take the fight if it makes him money. so why the hell not blame team pac for offering a guy who is in no position to refuse a fight he cant win??

Pacman is a paper champ

Undisputed 140 pound champion, nothing to do with paper at all. He beat the 140 pound champion at 140 pounds, so care to explain?

if cotto agrees then hes dumb

[Check_hooks]

im not worried about cottos power at 154, however emmanual steward in his corner is a concern

koncz is a freakin idiot and i remember reading that ariza threw a 5 punch combo on his punk ass

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).

I'm not bashing Manny's team but this is the truth. Nobody is forcing Cotto to fight but Team Pacquiao are basically saying "Fine we will fight you, but you must drain your body if you want a fight for YOUR TITLE"

Team Pacquiao "Drain your body or we wont fight you"

Are you serious? Cotto has MANY MANY options besides Pac and even at 154 Pac would beat him again, so really this is a pointless arguement.

when will he defend that title at 140???never...i think hes speaking about the 145 title he won

[imscythe]

Everyone in Pac's camp probably hates Koncz and he'll probably get another slapping with this statement.

Let them fight at 154 and Manny's not even oblige to be at 154 during weigh in. He could come at 150 if he wants to.
