even if Cotto is bitter at the initial 145 fight in 2009 and the 147 demand for this one, its still his fault for allowing Arum and roach to butt **** him on negotiations the first time around. He still got suckered into agreeing. this was his statement back in 2009 when negotiations were going on. Made a great point.
"The weight of 145 pounds is not a division. If the WBO doesn't agree with my decision, the I wll gladly deliver them the title. I do not have any problems with that. The WBO has the legal authority to dismiss me as champion and I will gladly deliver them the title. Paco Valcárcel knows better than anybody that 145 pounds is not a division," Cotto said.
"If Pacquiao wants the fight to be for the title, it will have to be at 147-pounds. I won the title at the welterweight limit and that is 147 pounds."
Plus he demanded 153 for Margarito so he CHOSE to play the weight game. Cotto still my boy but have to keep it real. its his own fault for agreeing to it.
