Cotto: "I will use any advantage I can against everybody @160 just like Pacquiao did"

[Kenchiro]

So is Cotto done as WBC champ even if he wins against Geale? Basically he has the voluntary defense, which is against Geale. Then he needs to make a mandatory against GGG, which he won't cause he's taking on Canelo(granted he wins) on September. I understand he'll be stripped of the title...

Btw, I view the Cotto-Geale as an even fight regardless of the catch weight. If i have to pick a winner I'm actually going with Geale. He'll be the bigger man, faster hand, and better footwork. The Cotto team has vastly underestimated Geale...

Damn, I can't believe how the MW picture has played out. Everyone in the MW division, save Andy Lee, should be embarrassed to GGG!

so then by that logic Floyd would get no credit for beating an ex-flyweight come May 2, right?

no credit from me whatsover.
Past prime shot to pieces pacquiao shouldnt be mentioned in his resume if he wins

[Build That Wall]

Yes and the ****** rat did the same to Alavarez.......oh the hypocrisy...i guess it's a ****** thing.

Not as much credit as Manny will get for beating the naturally bigger man.


Correct.

Exactly. This tactic of diminishing ANYONE Cotto faces in advance, is used to discredit a Cotto win should he beat Geale. The haters are crafty but I see it all.

"Oh but poor giant Geale, he was at such a disadvantage against the little ex Jr. Welter doe"

Correct.

except floyd is not the naturally bigger man. They are pretty much the same size, at most 1 division apart. Only real difference is manny turned pro at a much younger age, thus the lighter weights early in his career

And you are a ****** thug

[Sup]

hahah cotto is such a ****ing pansy.

[AKAcronym]

I still don't understand this objection. Why shouldn't Ward fight in his hometown again? Nobody *****es when Cotto fights in New York.

Come on. You can't compare one of the highest PPV attractions fighting in NEW YORK to someone who fights in Oakland. Big difference man. Not defending either one as I don't care where they fight, but don't compare New York to Oakland.

Cotto greater than ducktowns ward.
