Cotto: "Hardest fight for me...Mayweather" "145 catchweight Pac did affect me..."

[The Big Dunn]

True n logical but Floyd fans ain't buying it.

Are you seriously suggesting that bungalows logic should be given more credence than cottos own words?

[ButtScratcher^^]

Cotto was beaten by manny on earlier rounds than expected; not just beaten but utterly dominated. If it happened on late rounds a case for stamina issue would of matter.

He wants to use floyd because it is easier to handle on his ego. Remember: this miguel cotto is very prideful man, small things matter to him and we all know it would be easier to accept if it's floyd because after all floyd is known to be universally the most skilled on the planet today, and thus, it's easier to go by that reason alone.

But, don't be fooled, 'evidence does not lie' manny is harder and ten times more dangerous for him than floyd ever did.

Cotto also had no problems with losing to Margarito, until someone showed him a picture with string on Tony's glove. Dude is a crybaby.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even when the evidence was first presented I remember him saying that margs beat him fair and it was a tough fight. Then later he brings up his ****** iPad and started to cry about it! Cotto is a fawking cry baby

There's virtually no difference in Cotto's physique, 2lbs is nothing.

In ring body means nothing when you have to lose something in camp..

[The Tase]

catchweight in reality didnt really matter. Still, if people want to use it against pac he deserves the win getting somewhat tainted for the catchweight.

with the 24 hr rehydration, catchweights are totally unnecessary.

But for arguments sake, yea pac win deserves some criticism for the catch weight which was not needed to beat cotto.

[BUNGALOWS]

Could that possibly be because they were both promoted by Arum at the time and Cotto just did what he was told? For ****'s sake, Arum made Miguel put HIS title on the line for a catchweight fight that heavily favored Pac. When he parted ways with Arum, sure enough he admitted that making 145 was a "sacrifice".

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, Arum has THAT much power, where he can tell a millionaire fighter with a HUGE Puerto Rican fan base to keep his mouth closed about something like that.

Reaching for the stars are we?

Cotto being a typical crybaby gatekeeper, nothing new really.

BTW, putting quotations around something doesn't make it a legit quote. Source?

Pretty sure it was on last week's golpe a golpe, if not the week prior. Hosts were playing a game of speed Q&A when one asks Cotto which fight proved his most difficult, and after replying Mayweather Chavez Sr personally requests to know why the answer wasn't Pacquiao given the brutal nature in which he lost. If memory serves, Cotto mentions how Floyd's skill level was the determining factor. JMM said the same once as I recall..
Chavez Sr then expressed his belief in Cotto to defeat Sergio Martinez.

Manny fans are so upset that they decide they know more about how cotto feels than he does.

What makes it funny is that it's true..

[Hyper Knuckles]

....ah, I did forget, Cotto brought up the weight issue as the OP states in his opening line. In the interview he tells everyone how it took a toll on him and feels it was executed as an advantageous tactic on behalf of Pac and his team.

Someone brings up Mayweather giving Cotto the luxury of fighting in his comfort zone at Junior MW to which Cotto agrees, basically saying if he'd been allowed to prepare himself the way he had against Floyd, the Manny fight would've been a different affair.

I mean lets look at the facts, cotto got the **** beat out of him by pacquiao and margarito. Mayweather-cotto, while one sided atleast had the semblance of a competitive fight. And before the fight with pac it always "the weight is fine", after his beating, "oh the weight hurt me". Just saying.
