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

[IwatchBoxing]

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

Extactly, somebodys protecting somebody. But this fight would go down in history as one of the biggest fights, ever !!

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's not accurate at all. No way. It probably includes his time at 140. Cotto fighting at 147 comes to the ring closer to 160.

i honestly wouldn't know who to root for in this fight.

[S A M U R A I]

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.

OK... Foreman beats Ali, right?

I didn't say anything about the outcome....just that there was a big size difference.

nah, its a huge mismatch. Pac weighs 149 on fight night while cotto can come in as heavy as 160. That's not a fair fight.

Cotto is too big.

But in a fair fight pac probably kos cotto. Cotto stamina sux while pac is as strong early as he is late.

Plus cotto doesnt like to hold even when hurt. That means he get koed.

floyd mayweather has been doing it for yrs...of course it is a fair fight. Zab has done it as well..it's fair and cotto isn't too big, just bigger.. The fact u think pacman is too lil and this is unfair comes from the fact manny just don't have the skills to fight someone a lil bigger then him and can box with him.

[S A M U R A I]

That's not accurate at all. No way. It probably includes his time at 140. Cotto fighting at 147 comes to the ring closer to 160.

Then please post the accurate stats. Regardless, weight is not the most important factor by any means. Fighters outweigh each the all the time.

Let's agree to disagree on this one.

First of all, let's get past Pacquiao/Hatton before anybody gets too excited. Does Arum see this fight (Hatton) as a tune up or something? He should have kept his mouth shut until after Pac's next fight, or it may all backfire.

I'd rather see Cotto/Mosley 2, no matter how mouth-watering this fight may sound. Reality is, Cotto is a big Welterweight, but Pacquiao is super-human.
