'Manny's victory over weight drained Cotto not impressive' Manuel Perez

[cashdon]

I am just surprised it took so long for people to come up with excuses for Cotto

[benray4fun]

Cotto took the fight at 145 cause he had to to get the money, pure in simple and he's a man of his word so he kept it even if it was to his disadvantage. It's true that he didn't have any power or stamina for the duration of the fight, but that was the whole idea behind Roach's strategy.

Unfortunately for Miguel finding out the hard way that was the strategy and didn't think those two extra pounds would effect'm that way, but it did.

Cotto should've agreed to the catch weight, came in at 147, paid the fine and beat the hell outta manny just like floyd's gonna do. There ain't no way in hell floyd's gonna come in weight drained with no power n stamina to let manny and Roach ruin his career cause he's too kind (like Miguel) to let'm **** himself out of millions in the future.

I say Manny n Roach give Cotto a rematch at 147 or Cotto just pay the fine and break manny's ribs nextime. Cotto won't retire until he faces Manny and Margo again, but this time it will be different, cause Cotto is different, he see's the world for the cheaters they are and the nice gullible person he's been...but no more trust....

Weight drain my ass, because 1lb will make such a difference. Cotto look awesome up until the 6th round, after that, it was downhill. BTW, Manny was at Cotto's Clottey fight, they already had decided to fight Cotto even before the fight was over. In regards to Manny not choosing Mosley or Williams, both guys wouldn't have drawn as much as Cotto, plain and simple. Besides, Williams is too big.

Deep inside he was impress or don't give a shiet. Ignore him he just want attention, if people wouldn't read his column, he wouldn't have a job if Pac is gone- which is a contradiction.

off balance???lol

[Bushidō]

ahahha wow. Thats extreme nut hugging for him to say Pacquiao looked like crap

[bbos]

now cotto is weight drained? it was 1 extra pound from clottey fight, cotto started training much earlier and was prepared and in shape, this essay radiates hate, The point of this essay is not to defend cotto from the loss but to solely discredit pacquaio.

and cotto's face sure as hell wasn't weight drained post fight LOL LOL

[S A M U R A I]

Since when was 145 a weight class? History will tell us that Pacquiao needed to drain a faded fighter of two extra pounds just to assure that he would claim victory.He couldn't meet the man and challenge for his title at the welterweight limit,he would rather claim a tainted win rather than a legitimate win.

LOL. Cotto lost one extra pound from the Clottey weigh-in.

Weight drain my ass all over your face.

You act like nobody in the past has had catchweight fights. It's normal.
