Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Cotto Held Up By Weight, Mayweather is Not

[parrish duke]

rematch is all wrong for Pac - Cotto didn't have a corner in the first fight and it seems that no one remembers that? who the **** can beat pac without a corner???? Cotto will win this time around trust me - Pac better go towards mayweather at least he will get a bigger pay day - Cotto is not shot or damaged goods as most would like to think - all he would have to do is replicate the first couple of rounds from their first fight, and a good corner will be able to tell him whats working / adjustments that need to be made / what his opponent is doing / and work the game plan - cotto had no real game plan for the first fight!!!

Pac wants Mayweather at 147. He said he would take the lesser share, that he would fight on may 5th and that he would under go random blood and urine tests...

Pac needs to get control of his team and inform Bob of HIS wishes....

WOAH...HOLD UP HERE...A Mayweather donkey running away...... You're just repeating your usual mantra, not based on actual truth, but mere "Goebbels-like" rumour. Maybe you hope to get a different result if you repeat it often enough...(Einstein's definition of....)

In line with Teddy Atlas' (for a change good) article, it's very possible that MannyP was expecting 60%, or at a squeeze, 55%, since it is he who is the global icon, the FOTD with world wide appeal, which Mayweather does not have.

You've been saying that Pacquiao agreed to the May 5th fight in mid-December already.
This just could not be true, since he got that bone-deep 3 stitched layers totalling 28 stitches in mid Nov. He's no doctor, and it's generally known that his doctor, who took over an hour to stitch him up, has said "no sparring until April the earliest". That's a minimum of 4.5 months to heal properly, about normal for such a cut.

I don't believe you about Pacquiao agreeing to May 5th. but if he did, then he may have been showing his ingrained, agreeable personality, to suit a present need to give an answer that the rabid writers could drool over. Some of this drooling has splashed onto you, it seems. You must be aware that at least 95% of everything we hear about this projected fight, is only rumour and speculation, with new headlines twice a day.

The only 2 things I'm aware of, that are reasonably true, are, 1) that Ross Greenburg confirmed that negotions had been ongoing, although Mayweather denied it. Oscar said they were close to conclusion, although Schaefer got himself in a knot later, trying to show that Oscar was "misquoted".......a well worn (out) excuse.

And 2) is that a few months ago, Keith Kizer, Head of the NASC stated that he called a meeting the previous year,(must be 18 months ago by now) which was attended by Top Rank, Golden Balls, and Pacquiao. They all came to an agreement on the fight, but, as he said.........Maywaather didn't attend. Kizer said "he didn't even acknowledge the invitation, .......I put the blame for this fight not happening squarely on the shoulders of Floyd Mayweather Jr........

These two corroborations are too heavy to dodge even for Mayweather, and now the latest, "no 50-50'...".

We all MUST come to the realisation that it has been Mayweather who has been avoiding this fight, regardless of his present "seeming" eagerness. I realised this long ago.

He agreed to take less but never to the may 5th date when he made that statement so u aint gotta lie to kick it lol.. That's no different than saying and yes manny u're next then 24hr later I never said that!!

Wow, so he said he would take less but that doesn't mean he was talking about may 5th? LOL, these are your stans Pacquiao!!
Notice I said "Stan" cause fans aren't this blind.

Fixed it for you. Judah had 3 or 4 good rounds tops and then after he got beat up. Pac needs fighters to come forward, hands down, trying to pressure him because he doesn't know how to engage and get inside on his own. You should go learn boxing. That's why JMM had a more convincing performance the 3rd time because he didn't play into Pac strengths. Floyd adjusts on spot to all fighters styles. If you don't know that then you haven't been watching Floyd or boxing for long.

Read the damn post right, Im not talking in no way, shape or form about Pac nor Jmm, im talking about Cotto and his style! Apparently u are a Floyd nuthugger, Floyd is not all of boxing, anyone can adjust to a Balbomir, A Flabby JMM (NOT THE JMM THAT FOUGHT PAC 3), oh and what was supposed to be a threat to him,Ricky Hatton! I want to see him with a good proved boxer that wont lose his cool and can control himself, unlike Ortiz! Im not saying (as u can read in thr post) that Cotto would win, im saying that styles make fights, and that a well trained Cotto, with the power and boxing technique, can present somewhat of trouble!

I've figured it out. Edgar is an alcoholic.

Why can't you guys get it straight. His actual words as shown on BoxingScene were "I would even take a lesser share...." This in NO WAY implys "less than 50%. he may have been thinking about 60%, as well he could, since he's the global icon with world wide appeal, and FOTD. etc.

I've never seen anywhere that he said he would fight on May 5th. And even if he did, he's not a doctor nor promoter, and he would be getting into their line of work by saying such a thing. I don't believe it anyway. Just Mayweather fans' monkey chatter.

[UrGonnaLooos]

Cotto... take the Mayweather fight.... come on now

100% Agreed

I've figured it out. Edgar is an alcoholic.

According to my standards I actually am. I have a drink on my late mother's and father's birthdays, a drink on my own. That's 3 drinks a year max. about 3 oz total........Nowhere else would you find genuinely aged in the bottle J&B whisky.

Not enough to make me dazed. What about you?? Just kidding.

[PAC-BOY]

Floyd wont fight Cotto. Cotto is to much of a threat.

You think I actually read your posts, don't you?
