Comments Thread For: Cotto Reflects on Pacquiao Demand, Feels Geale Struggling

[RAV3N]

You don't have to weight the full 147. Besides, Oscar did (his opponent?).

He fought at welter. Cotto didn't weigh 160 either against Martinez, so no there's no difference.

So according to you the lineal champ of a weight division shouldnt be expected to defend the title at the full weight limit.

Pac didnt even hold a title at 147.

I think there is a difference but you are entitled to your opinion.

No, according to me, the Pacquiao-Cotto catchweight is the same situation as what we have here. Try to stay on course.

Cotto sounds really salty. Sort of like a cop who used to get bullied as a kid and now can get some pay back.

[Mr. Philadel]

Manny DOES catch a lot **** for the catch weight fights, stop pretending he doesn't or didn't. People don't give Manny a pass, people shouldn't give Cotto a pass either. I like Cotto, but he's just become way too much of a diva since the Mayweather fight, especially during/after the Martinez fight.

I get what you're saying but you have to really listen to the wind blow around here....let me school you a bit bro

a few weeks ago the great BHop shot down Pac's shoulder injury excuse....certain fans felt like BHop had no ground to stand on with his comments due to his NC against Chad Dawson when he was slammed down suffered a shoulder injury....the jury found him GUILTY of FAKING THE INJURY....so his comments came across as hypocritical to many

follow me bro....Cotto fought Pac at 145 pounds....took a thumping and didn't complain....Cotto being the G he is got his groove back and won a belt at 154....Pac wanted to rematch Cotto at 147 AFTER Cotto was comfortable at 154....Cotto wasn't playing Pac's drain game anymore and certain fans bashed him for NOT allowing Pac to dictate policy

follow me....those SAME fans are NOW bashing him for doing what was done to him....Pac was said to be too small for Cotto so a CW was okay in their minds....even though Pac went to 150 t fight Marg for the JMW belt....Cotto even said he'll fight Pac again but NOTHING below 150 pounds...Pac declined and slid off without a backlash

Cotto is playing the game, he didn't make the rules....so just like I was told in that BHop thread about Pac's shoulder injury....I don't see those SAME guys who supported Pac's CW demands supporting Cotto's...in fact those SAME fans who was riding with Pac are now throwing shots at Cotto....the wind be blowing crazy around here....dress warm my man...these mutha****as ain't playing fair

[Larry the boss]

I have lost all respect for Cotto,not only did he chose the person GGG ko'd in 3 rounds over GGG then ask"who has GGG beaten...He demands he be drained

[aboutfkntime]

You heard it from Cotto himself, he doesnt feel safe against Geale unless its at 157. A full Geale at 160 pounds, who was recently KTFO there, is too dangerous for the lineal middleweight champion. Yeah I know that Cotto is in company with Hopkins, SRL, Hagler and SRR in being a part of this lineal title, but a 160 pound Geale is a dangerous fighter.

I agree with you man, great post !

Lineal/ABC titles, are completely worthless.

Good point !

[aboutfkntime]

The difference is that pac was moving up in weight, cotto and pac were in separate weight classes, this is what catchweights were designed for, allowing 2 boxers from different weight classes to get into the ring (probably not so necessary with the amount of weight classes these days).

Cotto and Geale are in the same weight class, the only reason for the catchweight is so Cotto can drain Geale, there is no other reason.

Cotto fans fail to realise this, cotto is pretty much just using dirty tricks to gain an advantage.

What cotto is doing is far worse then what pac did to him.

Rubbish !

Pacquiao had already fought at welter before facing Cotto.

They attempted to drain Cotto in order to obtain an unfair advantage.

Sorry to completely fcuk your agenda.....

Pacquiao admits that catchweight is crucial to outcome with Cotto !

Great..... fkn..... post !

[VERDUGO]

Only Now.....now he's making excuses after all those years??
im not a cotto fan anymore...salty kneeler!!

[aboutfkntime]

Great..... fkn..... post !

Mr Philadel, I will add two more.....

Once upon a time, Pacquiao fans were completely disinterested in addtional drug testng..... " let da commission do its job, doe .

But now, not only are Pacquiao fans extremely interested in additional drug testing, now they require close-up video proof in slomo to prove that Mayweather is also being tested

Once upon a time, Pacquiao was referred to as the catchweight king, and Pacquiao fans did not have a problem with that..... " but Manny da A-side doe ".

But now, despite a history of facing fighters who are at the very top of their game, Mayweather is a coward for accepting the offer of 152 from Team Canelo, despite the fact that Manny refused to fight him at 150.

Funny shhhhhhhhht !
