Comments Thread For: Cotto Denies $13 Million/Pacquiao Rumor, Blames Weight

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Out of curiosity, would you find it more reasonable that a fighter that has been destroyed by a fighter suspected of cheating to try & gain any advantage he can in negotiations??

Or a fighter that is considered 1 of the 2 greatest fighters of a generation to ask for another catchweight over a fighter he's already destroyed. Which would seem more reasonable??

They both asked for catchweights. Its the same thing. Stones and glass houses.

Why would Miguel not be ok with going down to 150 for this fight, when that's the demand he put forth to Antonio Margarito for their rematch?

Seems pretty hypocritical to me.

Not that I wanted to see a Cotto/Pacman rematch anyway, just saying.

Didn't have to accept the catchweight and he said he had no issue with it at the time. It was only 1lb less than what he weighed for Clottey. He said he wasn't gonna make any excuses after either.

No proof Margarito cheated in the first fight. Should blame his incompetent corner for not watching his hands get wrapped.

Shows how delusional he is if he thought he won the Mayweather fight.

Yes he did the WBO even got involved and threatened to strip him if the fight wasn't made..and no proof Margo cheated??ok cool but is he wrong for being su****ious of a man who got caught red handed in his very next fight?

That's Fair; Manny Said The Same Thing About 154!

Manny went up and fought Margarito at 154, didn't even weigh that much on fight night, and Margarito outweighed Pacquiao by more than 25 lbs. Manny said he didn't like how his body felt at that weight, felt slower, and felt guys at 154 were naturally too big and strong for him at that weight. Although he destroyed Margarito, he said he'd never fight that heavy again, and that's perfectly fine. Marcos Maidana should be doing the dame thing at 147, opting to stay at 140. So if Cotto feels drained, weaker, and a struggle to go the other way, that's fine too. Don't make a big deal of either fighter in where they want to fight.

Cotto takes has taken on the best in his division numerous times give the guy a fair fight at a real weight class

I understand that they both asked for catchweights. But that's where the similarities end. You won't answer the question then, I presume?

Su****ious but until he shows some actual proof he should shut the *** up and stop acting all high n mighty about how he never makes excuses for losses.

Thats where they start and end. Don't cry about people asking you to come down to a catchweight when you asked Margarito to do the exact same thing. Its simple.

No the difference is Pacman's supposed to be the greatest fighter of this generation & already own's a brutal destructive ko over Cotto. While Cotto was destroyed by Margarito.
