Comments Thread For: Cotto: I Will Not Sacrifice My Body Again For Pacquiao

[sinaloakidd]

It's time for Pacquiao not to have any advantages in weight. He's been trying to call his own weight in every fight since the third Morales fight!

[Dat]

Althought he agreed to the fight at 145 he was still coming in at a weight than he was best at I laugh at these ****** posters who #1 never fought and don't understand how hard is to lose those last couple of pounds...#2 I'm a body builder when I do my diet cut my lifts go down 30 to 40% I remember cutting 5 pounds to 7% one time and feeling completly like ****ttt... Imagine these guys that walk around 20 pounds heavier than fight time smh at all u FOOLS that have no idea about physical conditioning but want to roast Miguel for the 145 catch weight, Pac clearly walks around same weight as fight night so he is trully never affected from weight dropping. Some of u might know more about boxing and history than me but I would school u when it comes to nutrioning and Strengh and Conditioning. Just a thought regardless Pac would have won the fight at 147 but it does affect the body even if it is one fu king pound.

You have a point. It's for the same reason that recently ESPN mentioned that Mosley rejected an offer from Golden Boy for him to fight Amir Khan at a catchweight of 145-- Mosley said 147 is ok but 145 is a no-no.

These are athletes and they know that even a few pounds will be detrimental for them.

*** all that catchweight

You go Cotto! Don't let this fool call the shots. I'm tired of having to see Pacs career being nothing but his fony a$$ catchweight fights. Let that fool fight you at your weight!

Marquez and Cotto refusing to give the fraud all the advantages again. There is some hope for boxing.

WBA junior middleweight champion, Miguel Cotto, has made it clear that he won't fight Manny Pacquiao at the welterweight limit of 147-pounds, where Pacquiao holds the WBO title. When the two boxers fought in 2009, a catch-weight of 145-pounds was mandatory in reaching the deal. Cotto was stopped in the twelfth round of that fight. For the rematch, which has a tentative date of June 9th in Las Vegas, Pacquiao refuses to fight Cotto above 147. This time around, Cotto will not give in. Pacquiao has to fight him at comfortable weight limit.

Cotto's had the sense knocked into him, why would anyone choose to fight a fierce opponent on his terms, that’s moronic? It’s too bad he's getting these revelations after he's been ground into hamburger. So the man that's fighting Mayweather on the 5th of May is 154 pounds worth of ground beef, nothing more nothing less. He's a money fight for Mayweather and Cotto's going to be well compensated as well.

Last time Mayweather named a PPV event he called it "Star Power," but this time around he should call it "Reground Ground Beef."

Yep, and they were tired of waiting for Pac and knew he wouldn't budge from his pathetic catch weights so Cotto moved on to Floyd, the bigger star that wasn't afraid to take him at 154.
