Miguel Cotto is "Not Impressed By Manny Pacquiao"

[KingTito]

****ing right baby. Cotto's ready to go.

[Dave Rado]

Bradley and Campell are busy fighting each other and that's why I suggested Humberto Soto as an opponent. Do you honestly think Soto would turn this fight down if it was offered to him? I am not totally bashing the Cotto-Pacquiao fight as a circus act, but I've got my doubts about it even going down. A lot of things need to iron out in the negotiations. Who is Pacquiao going to fight if this fight does fall through? He isn't going to sit out for the rest of the year is he?

The weight difference between Pac and Soto is greater than between Pac and Cotto. And if your objection to the latter is that he should be cleaning out his own division, the objection applies equally to both fights.

If he was going to fight a lighter opponent, it would be Valero. It would generate far more interest (= $) than against Soto because of Valero's punching power.

The Bradley-Campbell fight is scheduled for August 1, and Pac wants to fight in October or November, so there's enough time between those dates, barring injuries.

If the fight falls through he'd probably fight Mosley.

Ppl shine the light on pac and dim the light on cotto because of his last fights.

If a real boxing fan would acknowledge that miguel has fought TOP welterweights.THE HARDEST OPPENENTS YET TO DATE. In no way does this guy turn down any fights or cherry picks.So respect has to be given.

Pac put a performance but in no way was i shocked either when hatton got ko'd.When hatton fought mayweather his clumbsy self did a wrestling turnbuckle knockout.

Some way,somehow,cotto will emerge and keep his title.

the more manny nut huggers keep jumping on the pac bandwagon ( & i mean bandwagon cause other than asians & filipinos the rest are just borrowing pacman cause their cotto haters) the greater this upsets gonna be 4 cotto, so he can become the worldwide star he deserves 2 be.....& yes i know how impressive pac has looked in his last 3 fights & how cotto hasnt really looked so dominating, but if u know anything about boxing u know u cant even compare the very dangerous opponents cotto has faced in mosley, margarito, & clottey, compared to diaz, old azz de la hoya, & overrated hatton....honestly i want cotto 2 be the underdog 4 the first time in his career in this fight, cause come nov. 14 cotto will expose manny 4 the little man he is in this division... only fighters that give cotto trouble are fighters that make him fight moving backwards. & honestly i dont see manny backing cotto up in this fight....cotto is 2 strong when moving foward & has shown that he really can take a punch as a welterweight so dont think its gonna be another hatton fight where he gets caught coming in....cotto aint no hatton, or an old as de la hoya & definetly no one dimensional fighter like diaz...yes he is a great fighter that has all the respect of cotto & the puerto rican people for his heart, skill, & acomplishments but honestly i really dont think pacman could ever win against either mosley, margarito, or clottey so i dont understand why people that arent asian or from the filipines are so quick 2 jump on the pacman bandwagon when just months ago those same people where saying cotto was 2 big a puncher & stronger plus has the skills 2 stop the pacman train......caN IT BE that his showing against clottey wasnt that impressive? if thats ur main reason ur all gonna get a rude awakining come nov.14.....the positive to me that cotto wasnt that impressive against clottey was that if cotto wouldnt have got cut & knocked clottey out i dont think manny would have been so eger 2 get into the ring with cotto...so GOD always has a plan & he knows knowone has worked harder,overcome so much adversity,never complained about anything,& fought every dangerous adversary thrown infront of him that knowone else would want to face like a warrior...knowone deserves manny more than him.....my greetings to all the asians & filipino fans out there, u have a great champion & its gonna be a great fight,may the best man win.....as for all the haters including fans & fighters who dont want this fight 2 happen & are quick 2 jump on the pacman bandwagon,get in line suckers cause after nov. 14 its not manny who u'll be lining up 2 see or fight, but miguel cotto....after this win 4 cotto lets see if we can draw out the coward of floyd's biatchhh azzz to fight.....which i doubt he'll ever want 2 fight cotto.....

****...im not impressed with your long ass post...lol

I think Pacquiao is going to bust Cotto's ass. I think the stamina deficiency that Cotto is notorious for having is going to do him in. I was at first getting a little bit skeptical of my prediction at first because of the weight demands that Pacquiao was throwing out. But I think he did that to get a bigger purse cut. Not because he lacked confidence of beating Cotto at a reasonable weight.

[AP♠]

I wish cotto would get some one like teddy atlas in his cornerr 4 this fighttt... cause me as a cotto fann as much as people think he's in his prime now i still feel he is very teachableee and is still kinda raww i kud jus imagine what kinda fighter he would be with a kick ass cornerr

I, myself feel the same way you do.However teddy atlas is not the man.Matter of fact i beleive he was against cotto on the clotty fight.Cotto has to sharpen up his defense a lil bit and WORK ON THE HOLDING GAME.Thats part of boxing.He doesnt do that.Against big welter weights you have to hold sometimes so you wont tire out,so you can land more stat punches,so you can time yourself.

Cotto does deserve respect for never ducking anyone. He just needs to work on his stamina because Pacquiao seems to have as much energy in rd 12 as in rd 1 but Cotto will probably be packing more power than Pac will so it will be a competitive fight no doubt about it.

I have to disagree on the stamina asset.Cotto has stamina issues when it comes to bigger guys putting on PRESSURE.Such as the bigger WW's.Pac is not going to put pressure.He wants to command the fight in the middle of the ring,trade puches because he feels he's gonna land them 1st.

I do agree on the weight purse trap.They got him good by calling the weight low early in the negotiation process.I call it weight bluff marketing.

Im riding the wave with you.I think it's all going to come down to power and who lands the most impact.

I don't agree that the weight difference between Soto and Pacquiao is greater than the one between Cotto and Pacquiao. Soto is a big fighter for his weight class and he could easily move up to 140. Didn't Pacquiao make Larios move up from 122 to 130 after he got starched by Vasquez? Soto would take a Pacquiao fight in a heart beat and the rest of the top guys at 140 are tied up. I'm not suggesting a Soto-Pac fight over a Cotto-Pac fight even though I would rather see the former for personal preference. I'm just saying that Soto would be a ready and willing opponent for Manny if the negotiations for a fight with Cotto fell apart.
