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

[Cinci Champ]

He got dropped twice, beat up for 11 and 1/2 rounds and stopped by Manny. He's not being real.

ya its more likely hes lying about it just to make manny look bad ya thats likely alright

[-Kev-]

Well I can't agree to that. It was Margarito I.

But I understand Cotto's frustration with Margarito having loaded wraps and the catchweight Pac put on him. He's kinda saying, Floyd was my toughest fight of the fighters that fought me fairly.

Doesn`t mean the 145 pound didn`t effect him,1 pound can effect a fighter,and i noticed Cotto moved right up to 154 after that fight and never came back to 147.Pacquiao never ko`ed anybody at 147 or higher except for Cotto which shows that the weight had an effect on Cotto.I mean he couldn`t even drop Tm Bradley whose been dropped 3 times by Kendall Holt.

Sorry but Cotto came to fight and that is what happened. Margarito too and that one should have been stopped too. Other fighters moved more as they just wanted to make it to the 12th round. Only exception was Marquez.

Against Bradley, Manny took it easy the last 3 rounds.

As for Cotto, Cotto at the weigh-in said he is too big and too STRONG! If it affected Cotto, there was no way that those words would have come out of his mouth.

Chad Dawson also said he could make 168 fine also,then we seen how that turned out.

Chad wasn't close to that weight in his previous fight, was he? Chad didn't wait many years later to say it affected him. Apples and oranges.

So you are saying that Floyd didn't fight Canelo fairly?

Sorry but for Floyd fans, Floyd fighting Cotto would not be considered fair because he was Margarito's and Manny's LEFTOVERS!

[Holywarrior]

You are making it sound like Manny was a pure WW back then. He was just trying to make history back then by getting another title but nobody knew that he would continue to do well at WW.

The crap move is when 2 title holders fight at a CW of 152 even though one of them keeps on saying before, during and after the fight that making weight was the hardest thing that he had to do to for the fight! Floyd was OK with that!

Like he made history fighting Margarito for another title

This isn't about Mayweather lol youre kinda obsessed with these 2 huh?


and Manny had had already fought at welterweight before Cotto numb nuts, it was a pussey move

[-Hyperion-]

trying to pump himself up, because he did well against Mayweather....Pac beat him up after that punch in the fourth, dude got sonned...

[straightleft]

I can't say he's lying, I don't know, but Cotto looked fine physically against Pacquiao. He fell off after Pac dropped him hard and began whooping his ass. I can't believe 2 pounds would change that.

Actually just 1 lbs with 6 months to lose safely those extra lb. He weighed in 146 on his last fight before Pac.

Same people who say Canelo was drained tho after weighing in at 153 his previous fight....it's just picking and choosing really.

[Mr.Fantastic]

The two fights where he gets his ass demolished aren't the hardest? Maybe he means at a chess game type of fight difficulty.
