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

[jayblack]

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]

What a surprise.

Because Clottey is Manny's best friend. Seriously though, Manny should fight Cotto at 154 or don't fight him at all. Either way, Manny would still beat him. Cotto has the tools, but he doesn't have the knowledge to use those tools.

i love cotto he's my favorite fighter but i really dont think the weight makes a difference, Manny beats him no matter what!!! hell he already beat him once and beat his ASS badly. so wtf is the point?

People here are morons, it's KONCZ that's saying all this. He's the supposed "advisor", and looks out for Pacquiao's best interest.
There's is no way Roach or Pac would let it be at a catchweight for the 154lb title. The rematch will either be at 147 or 154.

Your logic doesn't add up. Then why did Roach and Pac allow the first fight to be at a catchweight? The very next fight, they fought a fighter who is naturally better than Cotto at no catchweight. If u don't think, at the very least Roach isn't on those things (catchweight, the right opponent to choose), then you are sadly mistaken.

Its not fair that Cotto has to defend his titles at catchweight just because its pac

and i dont even like cotto

what come on we aint ****** here...for a second i was gonna just keep my opinion to myself regarding pac b*tch @ss but you want to come out and insult us...come on...mosely wanted the fight and pac didnt want no part of it so instead of saying no and ducking mosley he offered a catch weight (similar to saying he scared of needles so he cant take a blood test, no pac you either juicing or scared of floyd) of 145 and mosely said yes, then he said no come in at 144 so mosely said ok, then he said no come in at 142 so mosely said ill come in at 140 and ill take your low ball money offer i just want to fight...then when manny was pushed to the wall he simply said you know what you are too good for me...they also said floyd wont ever fight mosely...i wonder if they were right about that....oh wait mosley is old and was inactive for many yrs...too bad that pac was scared as hell of that same mosely that was old and inactive...ya pac fans kill me

After all that... Mosley still offered to fight at 140lbs.

So I don't know what your point is.

[Dsanchez]

what do you need a catch weight with a fighter from your own stable that is paid not to beat you...

whomever thinks clottey tried to win that fight is completely naive

thats no the point tho. im just saying according to roach hes a damaged guy? so why are u gonna go tru all the trouble and take away from mannys win

[prsi]

1st) I've learned to not beleive anything that comes out of ****** Koncz mouth.

2nd) This might also be a bluff trying to have PBF sign a fight

3rd) It is not coming from Pacman nor Roach (remember that Roach was the won campaigning for a catch weight at 144 until they signed at 145)

4th) If this is true, and even though I'm a big Cotto fan, I would be more upset with Cotto, than with Pacman, for putting his title on the line, for the second time with a limit on weight that does not represents his title. True that 150 or 153 is withing the weight class but it is not limited to that weight. Restricting the weight to anything other than 154 is against what the belt represents which is up to 154 nothing less. Like I said the 1st time, it will be up to Cotto to accept or refuse this IMO, he should just say at 154 or no deal.

yea of course not, pac dont got a track record of such..he didnt do it to cotto and didnt try to do it to mosely. he didnt make delahoya come down a whole weight division nor did he make morales fight a whole weight class lower then what he was comfortable with..no not pac...

Cotto doesnt have to. If he chooses to do it then that's his own fault, He should be smart enough to turn around and refuse. But Bob Arum is his daddy and he likes to do what Bob Arum wants.

I agree. Clottey hit him every time he tried then backed off. Dude got an extra million to play dead.
