Pacquiao vs. Cotto in 09: Arum Would Attempt To Do It

[Pullcounter]

I'd rather see Pacman vs JMM 3 and Cotto vs Clottey or Cotto vs Mosley 2

i agree with you... dont let this talk about pac/cotto distract you (which is all this is, a tactic to distract you)... cotto has to fight mosley, thats the only fight that matters at 147.

I would prefer much Mayweather vs Pacquiao, because Cotto would massacre Manny, eitherway let's get it on...

what are you talking about massacre, manny too fast for cotto, and only a couple inches in height.

i think everyone in here forgets pacquiao hasnt fought at 126 since 2007, its ****ing 2009 guys, EVERY FIGHT in 2008 pacquiao weighed in at 147 or higher, no matter what division it was in. if he fought cotto at 147 he still would have his power, and def has a chin and def wayyy faster than cotto and more stamina, everyone needs to relax it would be a good fight tho but no way pacquiao gets killed[

at 147 its a close fight that would go cotto's way, but cotto gets destroyed at 140

cotto outweights pac by 10+ lbs on fight night... its not even worth discussing this fight.

Not even a couple of inches. It's 0.5". The official size stats for both fighters are not far apart. Cotto has bigger thighs. That's his main advantage. Pacquiao has bigger calf muscles. Everything else is actually very close, with Pac being bigger in some areas (don't get the wrong idea, LOL).

Yall are quick to hate when a man ducks a fighter and quick to hate when a fighter takes risk. If Pac is willing to fight Cotto, embrace it rather then **** on the fighter. Aint no fighter in the next decade or two or maybe ever again going to move from lightweight skip LWW and fight a WW. Some fans just aint ever satisfied.

i agree these haters are all hypocrites. f### em all, they call floyd a p### for not taking fights, then criticize pac for trying to be the best he can be. what haters

Not according to some info I've seen. The average weight Cotto comes into a fight at is apparently 153lbs. How accurate this is, I'm not sure, but it's not all down to weight anyway. Weight isn't a huge factor, skill is way more important.

It's funny how many people think Pac is so much smaller than Cotto. They are dead wrong. The difference is not that great.

That doesn't account for shoulders and just pure width though, ya know?

Look Pac when he's not in training, walks around at what 150? Maybe 155?

Cotto walks around sometimes north of 170. Maybe his bones are heavier(might sound ****** but it could be true), but Cotto is just a larger, stronger person. His frame is definitely bigger, he's broader, and he's stronger.

I can see all the stats people wanna throw at me, but I know there is a significant size disparity.
