Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto No Better, Pacquiao Beats Him Every Day

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

The only way the fight has merit is if Cotto wins (ex post facto) but it does nothing to boost Manny's prestige or glory. It would be like Cotto beating Yuri Foreman again. Yuri is a credible fighter, a true warrior, but the only people who want to see that fight are people who believe that Yuri can win.

I would love to see Cotto dismantle Pacquiao, but I do not think he can do it (possible, but not the way to bet). I do not want to see arum feed Cotto to Pacquiao again. If it is at a catchweight...well, there goes Pacquiao's legacy.

I agree. I don't want to see this fight at all or at least right now. I'm just looking at it from Arum's perspective.

Another point you can add to that list: IF this upcoming fight is Pac's last, if it's not against Mayweather... it can be argued why SHOULDN'T it be for a chance at a title in an 8th weight division?

though if he doesn't get Mayweather, I'd much rather see Pac versus Margarito (or better yet Pwill or Sergio)--assuming he fights beyond november 13.

Thanks. I didn't think about the possibility of Arum selling this fight as Pacquiao's last, if it was indeed his last.

Like we didnt know that already, of course pacquiao beats cotto right now, pacquiao securing another title and i bet itll be a catchweight, cause thats what he does, instead of retiring with glory and guns blazing, he prefers to fight someone he beat very bad and at a catchweight, all because he wouldnt agree to full testing, thats a cloud that will follow him forever, now if only mayweather agrees to this fight so that we can truly see whos the best... mayweather has to say yes cause this is where the money is!!!

Pacquiao won't ask for a catchweight this time around - why should he? For those dumb enough to buy it again (and there won't be that many), you'll see why a catchweight won't be necessary for the Massacre Part II.

Good, so can we rule him out now?

I hope they do rule him out mate!

Sadly, uncle Bob calls the shots.

Pacquiao beats Cotto any day of the week but moving all the way up to 154 would have to affect his speed and stamina no way he can put on that weight and remain as fast or as active so that would be a plus for Cotto going into the fight but I still think Pacquiao beats him

[fightnight1]

Can't you effing read? Roach said Pac would fight Cotto @ 154, no catch-weight! The reason they fought @ 145 vs. Cotto is because they weren't sure how Pac would fare at welterweight. After that, they fought Clottey @147, didn't they?

read more, mofo!

There were speculations earlier in the week about fighting Cotto @ 150lbs. THat alone is the indicator. And like i clearly said people are watching. Cant you effing read.

154 is the limit of the divsion. Pacquiao doesn't have to weight anywhere close to 154, he can come in at 147.5 if that's where he feels comfortable.

Pac will come in around 147. Cotto at 154. And Pac will beat him up again. Pointless all around.

Hell no!!! Roach knows how to pick em, this is the perfect opp. For him n PAC to make even more hollow accomplisments, he'll take it, but the powers that be will prob make it at 151 n not 154. PAC should just Bradley, it makes sense more for his legacy since he is "the people's champ". Plus he still have the ring champ down there

There won't be a catchweight - and if there is...ugh. Either way...ugh.

If Manny Pacquiao would rather fight Miguel Cotto again rather than submit to full testing, not only is he a user, is wholly dependent on PEDs to perform.
