Comments Thread For: Roach Guarantees No Pacquiao-Cotto Rematch

[twosweethooks]

I'm a big Cotto fan but he's contradicting himself regarding the catchweight. Immediately after the fight when asked by Larry merchant if the weight was the factor, Cotto response was "no I felt fine. It was his speed. I didn't know where the punches were coming from". Now he wants to claim that the Catchweight effected him. Which one is it? Was it the speed or the weight?

Mang , I remember that ! I remember Cotto comfortable with the weight !

This right here. If everyone remembers Cotto just recently said he's quite comfortable with 154 and not 147. Therefore it's rather obvious that a rematch with Pacman won't happen cause Pacman won't fight a healthy Cotto.

Cotto was essentially shop worn after the Pac fight, there would be no reason to beat up a shop worn mang unless you are ..................................

Once Cotto loses and switch to a different trainer again, Roach will demand for a Pacquiao-Cotto rematch.

Interesting opinion. Especially considering the fact the Cotto was team Pacman's "preferred opponent", and at yet another catchweight before Cotto took on Floyd.

Pac almost killed him the first time and they're both shot now, so fuck a rematch

i see a lot of people have selective memory. it was the margarito fight that started cotto's down fall, pacquiao just picked over the bones.

I can now sleep at night, knowing something I knew would never happen, isn't happening.

Thank you Freddie. I needed clarity.

it was right after the fight Im sure cotto didn't want to make excuses. He gave manny his props and called him the best fighter he's ever fought.

Exactly. There are fighters that always give some ****** excuses for their losses. Instead, Cotto has given props for his opponents' wins. Everyone knows that he was drained @145 vs Pac. Cotto is a heavy 147, small 154. When he was a kid, he had weight issues (He was already @153 when he was 11yo), so we know that he is too heavy for his height.

Floyd was option 1 but he that wasn't going to materialize so they were thinking about a money fight. Same with Floyd when he took on Cotto after all his wars.

I'm happy with this news as there was no point in this fight (for Manny). It's not like Cotto has been beating everyone he has faced since or looked very impressive.

Whatever. Pacman hasn't looked good in too long and they wanted Cotto at an unfair weight to try and make him look good. But Cotto wasn't having it, that's what happened.
