Comments Thread For: Cotto: Does Pacquiao Fear Me? Mayweather Will Go To 154

[Rocky Rode]

I would prefer Martinez-Mayweather at 154, but this is a decent fight. Better then the Canelo fight that's for sure.

All this talk is not needed. If Pac is asking Cotto to come down he is doing it for the same reason Marquez asked him to come down and why Floyd asked Martinez to come down and Cotto asked Margarito to come down.... Manny had a fight at 150 and came in at 144.5.... He said before and in the ring after the Margarito fight that he can't fight above 147... Cotto should understand fought Margarito at catchweight even though he was the Champion in that division... Kind of wack if you're not moving up in weight to ask for a catchweight to defend your own title... Manny has NEVER down that he was moving up to fight Cotto... If Manny's people called Cotto and says Manny wants to fight at 147 and Cotto feels he can't make that weight anymore that should be the end of the discussion on Cotto's part. Here's a hint if a guy has a fight at 150 and weighs in at 144.5 and says after the fight I can't fight at that weight it's too much... Why can't anyone understand that Manny Fan or Manny Hater.... I understood why Marquez didn't want to fight Manny at 147 and I understand why Floyd said he'll fight Cotto at 154 but yet wants Martinez to come down to 150... I just don't understand why people can't push their hate aside and say hey the last time Manny had a fight at 150 he came in at 144.5 so maybe he shouldn't fight above 147 since he can't even come in at a fight at 150 above 145... Manny is 147 pound fighter and Cotto is a 154 pounder or whatever catchweight he got Margarito to agree to and that's that...... No need to hate on either fighter, Cotto just outgrew 147 and Pac is to small to go above 147... End of negotiations... The other guys can still fight at or below 147 so Pac will move on and so will Cotto but there is nothing wrong with Pac asking Cotto could he still make 147 and Cotto asking even though you came in at 144.5 for your last 150 pound fight and you said you won't do it again, would you consider changing your mind????

Good ****..

It's simple. Cotto would make it a long night for both guys. Cotto knows that he has arum by the scrotum and will not bend like he did before. Good for him. For those people that are blind and spew all this Pac can beat King Kong nonsense, let it be. If they agree to fight at 150, then let Pac batter Cotto around again. What if that is not what takes place, instead Pac sees himself in a life or death struggle? What will the excuses be then? Oh, Cotto was too big. Pac was distracted with Politics.. etc.. For those that say they won't pay for the fight, then so be it. You can miss out if you want. The promotional twist on this will be so clever, that it will make casual fans break out the CC quick. Many good points for both sides of the fence have been stated and the bottom line is; Arum wants Cotto to hang around a bit and the fact that Cotto has left everything open (promoter wise) gives him enough leverage to not let Arum push him around. Arum wouldn't want the 2nd best payday to hop on over to GBP/Mayweather side. So there will either be a boatload more of money thrown Cotto's way or they will allow the 150 catch weight. If Cotto beats Manny, that will propel him to be the front runner to face Floyd. Cotto will cash out twice.

If Cotto fights Floyd at 150 or above, as I stated before, I give Cotto a good chance of beating Floyd. For those of you delusional enough to believe that Floyd will KO cotto, need to puff puff pass that good stuff you are smoking. When was the last time that Floyd KO'd someone? Sharmba in '05? Hatton doesn't count, turnbuckles aren't fists or gloves and Ortiz doesn't count for obvious reasons. How will Floyd keep Cotto off of him? Goodluck with the pot shotting to a UD theory. I am quite sure Cotto will take the fight to Floyd after feeling out his speed and timing him for the first couple of rounds.

Cotto deserves either fight either way.

to anyone who says that pacquiao won't fight cotto at 150 or above because he was hurt by margarito in their fight, i have 2 points to make:

1) margarito came in 17 pounds heavier than pacquiao on the night. cotto has no chance whatsoever of doing that.

2) so what if margarito hurt him?....that's what happens when you get hit by someone??.....saying that he can get hurt when they fight at 150 isn't an excuse in my book, because you can get hurt by anyone who lands cleanly...

[chiguy91]

.....or maybe just fight alvarez, mayweather, or martinez?

Pacquaio beats Cotto at any weight the fight is purposeless Cotto is Pacquaio's b*tch. Let floydie girl maynever get his chance to whoop Cotto's ass. Floydie girl by ud 10-2 or late late stoppage.

Of course Cotto is Pacquiao's b*tch-- at 145 that is. At 154, Pacquiao is most likely Cotto's b*tch. That's why Pacquiao is not as confident as yourself who feels that Pacquiao can beat Cotto at ANY weight-- because if this were true, Manny wouldn't mind fighting Miguel at 154 isn't it? But no, Manny doesn't want to fight Miguel above 147. And you seriously think Floyd will beat Cotto by late stoppage? At 154? Wow. You're probably one of those Pac fans who thought Manny would KO Marquez. Bloody hell delusional.

Totally agree.

Because Pac said that he no longer has plans fighting above 147.. And he said right after the Marg fight... And quite frankly, I am glad that Cotto is not agreeing to move down to 147 so that Pac can face a fresh opponent in Bradley..I have seen Pac beaten Cotto from pillar to post, no point of seeing that again..

[Stl_Buay]

Pacquiao should be a MAN a fight his opponents at the correct weight. Enough with this Catchweight crap!

You do know that Floyd and Cotto fought at catchweights too.... Cotto made Margarito drop below 154 to defend his (Cotto's) 154 pound title and Floyd even came in heavy on his catchweight against a 135 pounder. LOL but u only blame Manny even though he has went up and down to make catchweight fights, so its not a one way street... So since you guys are saying Pac is a 154 pounder and should fight Cotto at that weight than why aren't you guys crapping on Marquez for making Manny go down to a catchweight??? You guys say Manny weight drained his opponents yet when he goes down you don't say hey, Marquez weight drained Manny.... You guys are just too funny!!!!!! Using Pac haters excuses Cotto fought Manny at 145 (2 pounds under) and Cotto was drained well newsflash Marquez made Manny drop to 143 (4 pounds under) So if Cotto was weight drained Manny was double weight drained for the Marquez fight right??????
