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

[DiLLiNGER]

If a deal for a November fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. falls through, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao would have two options on the table. The first option, who is seen by most as the frontrunner, is Antonio Margarito. The second option would be a rematch with WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, who Pacquiao stopped in the twelfth round last November. [Click Here To Read More]

Nobody is asking Pacquiao to come in at 154.

The bull**** is him not allowing Cotto to come in at his real weight.

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

"NOT LETTING HIM". OK, what is it you don't understand about the contract doesn't have to be signed?

Anyhow there's nothing to argue over, if Cotto don't like it, his camp won't sign. Agree to disagree.

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

Okay but dont expect Pac to get credit from me and alot of other people for that win if that fight happens. I doubt it will anyway it just sounds like Koncz wants some publicity and to put pressure on team May.

i DONT get this

the first fight was a washout it was not even competitive after 2 rounds why are we back to this again?

sure cotto looked good his last fight, but that just isnt enough

i would love to watch this rematch, but im not spending 50 bones to do it.

[Kagami Taiga]

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.

dude, floyd and pac are the fights at the moment. what fighter will make cotto more moeny than fighting pac???only one is floyd. stop it, u kno what im sayin is true. its like offering a crackhead crack only if they run around naked. they'll do it because they need the crack. cotto will do it because he wants the money and he wants to fight the best. thats who he is.

LOL, It doesn't matter to me who gives credit to anyone. This is a ridiculous fight anyway and shouldn't even be happening much less at a catch weight.

You are entitled to your opinion sir, I respect you feel that way for sure.

They have to give manny every advantage. The first fight with cotto was at 145lbs, BUT he could not weigh more than 150lbs on fight night!! I bet not to many people knew that!!!

Exactly. Cotto doesnt have to agree to it but it's Team Pacquiao and their demands which are the problem. They want to win titles at catchweights. Which is beyond ridiculous. How can you call yourself a "champion" of a certain weight class if you refuse to fight people at that weight class?

The funny part is-If Floyd was to fight Cotto for his 154 belt, people would say he is ducking Manny,yet when Manny entertains a fight with Cotto,it becomes no big deal.In fact,his fans glorify it by saying he will get an 8th weight class.

You can tell that Floyd is great by the different and higher level of expectations based on boxing fan's opinions.They do not afford him the luxury to have multiple catchweight fights for belts in other divisions.They hold him to different standards than Manny.

With Manny,they seem to think it is a fair fight when he wants catchweight fights for the Champ's belt because he is "the smaller guy" coming up in weight.Team Pac have used his size and popularity for getting the high end of negotiations-they better kneel before their own adopted standards when they negotiate with Floyd,otherwise they are a pack of lying hypocrites.
