Miguel Cotto: "De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao Hurts Boxing"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former welterweight champion Miguel Cotto has finally spoken out against the December 6 bout between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. Cotto says a fight like De La Hoya-Pacquiao is the kind that brings down the entire sport. He says De La Hoya is avoiding the tough fights and instead makes Pacquiao, the current WBC lightweight champion, move up from 135 to 147 for a fight. [details]

Arum needs to reprogram Cottobot ASAP.

The machine is getting out of line, speaking without first being spoken to.

My thoughts exactly. When has Cotto ever voiced an opinion on anything?

Respect to him for calling it like it is though. However out of line it may be with his programming duties.

For those who weren't following boxing years ago and have been seeing what Oscar is doing these days, take a good long look.

You wanna know why his resume is littered with so many big names? Well, save for welterweight, this is what he did...fought them usually in the wrong weight class or when they were well past it. Now he gets to add Manny Pacquiao to that "incredible" resume.

While I agree to an extent with what he's saying, he shouldn't talk about **** about this fight. Just close your mouth Miguel. Its not your place, and you probably ruined any small chance you had at landing a huge money fight with Oscar.

I disagree...because cotto just wish he was in pacquiao shoes...Ha Ha can you say Hater...how does it hurt boxing when it sold out in a few hours after going on sale... plus ppl sayin their not going to purchase this fight when they will....ODLH fighting at a division he haven't fought at in 10 years and pacman first time fighting here this fight will be interesting because when i first heard this fight was being made on paper it looks loopsided, but ODLH could be weight drain and Pacquiao could be stronger just have to think of it makes an good fight, but i still think Pacquiao will get knocked out! Look at the tune up against forbes..

Gomez was a junior middleweight moving down.

Sadly he might be euthanized after Arum finds out.

Poppa, do you know if Cotto's CPU is a neural net processor (a learning computer), like the one they put in Terminators?
