Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Ready: "I'm Not Afraid of Manny Pacquiao"

[The Big Dunn]

he's already a millionaire. he doesn't need to get hurt to feed his kids.

he'd get tons of money for any fight at this point anyway. he should've said no if 145 weakened him

Dude there are very few $8 mil fights. I get your point but this is business. ODH went down to 147 for $50 mil, He surely could've told Manny no. But other than floyd, where else was he making $50 mil.

[The Big Dunn]

i agree on that, but it's still a ***** move to challenge the champion under a catchweight. if he can beat him at 147, there's no point in going for 145

I agree 100%

COTTO never complained @ 145 lbs he came at 146 lbs against CLOTTEY 1 to 2 lbs can be easily shred in a single work out. Do you even EXERCISE?? Stop the Alibi's your BOY COTTO lost fair and square..

I don't think Cotto knows how to complain. He did lose fair and square.

Part of his stubborn attitude.

[Mr.Smith]

For the most part he did....i think 1-4 or 5 he did..it wasnt until the late mid rounds when he started to come forward...he neutralized his speed going back..just like vs mosley.

Ok, I don't really remember the fight too well. Thanks for the refresher.

There is no way of knowing what could've happened if Cotto wasn't forced to fight at a catchweight, anything is possible.

The truth of the matter is, Bob Arum and Michael koncz will force Cotto to fight at a catchweight again.

who "forced" him again?? was it mr. $$$ ? or was it mr. "believing he can beat pac at 145" ? or was it both... either way HE COULDVE SAID NO!

and the way he got beat, the general consensus is, that it wouldnt have made a difference.

This catchweight stuff is bullcrap. I like Pac but he needs to stop with this stuff. Fight the guy at the limit or don't fight him at all. And can Pac fans please stop making freaking excuses for him this crap is getting old. If you don't want people making excuses about Miguel coming in at a catchweight don't make excuses for Pac saying he has to fight at a catchweight because of such and such reason. You can't have it both ways. Anyway, like i've said before although Miguel wants this fight it's still cherry picking on team Pac's part. They wanted no parts of Yuri because he's too tall but him and Margs are the same size. But you have no problem fighting a guy you whooped at yet another catchweight for the title you didn't want to fight Yuri for? If that isn't the definition of cherry picking I don't know what is.

But where else does he make that money?

But where else does he make that money?

the point is no one "forced" him to fight at 145, and never bitched about it to this day unlike all of u pac haters, he said he felt great at that weight.

the same people who were posting stuff like "pac's done, he's gonna feel the power of a true WW blah blah blah" are now saying that it was a ***** move for pac to fight cotto at 145. wtf?

[street bully]

Must be why he was running the last time. Running in the face of Pacquiao taunting.
