Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Ready: "I'm Not Afraid of Manny Pacquiao"

[Mr.Smith]

yup the 1 extra pound he had to shed made him into a poor boxer despite him saying he was at his best.....

it doesnt matter if the fight is at 140, 145, 150 or 154, pac will always beat cotto down because he is a far better boxer

Pac always beats Cotto if he wants to stand and trade with Pac. It's possible Cotto wins with boxing skills if he uses them the entire fight and not try and go toe-to-toe.

those "plan b" are boring but if hav to choose its Pac-Marg

[Mr.Smith]

the one scared here always been pacquiao.why hasent he set up any other boxer in catchweight the only opponent he has set up is cotto. first he said he couldent make 147 then after cotto he fought clotty at 147 with no weight problem know he whants another catchweight with cotto is simple the guy is afraid to fight cotto at the full division limit wicth is in this case 154. he calls himself the pound 4 pound king bullsh*** a real pound 4 pound fights their opponent at there division with now excuse or cachweight pacquiao is a joke and im with cotto im this one if they fight at the weight limit 154.

The catch weight didn't effect Cotto in my opinion. It was the fact that he fought the wrong fight. You do not go toe-to-toe with Pac. That's like fighting and octopus with boxing gloves. You will get hit in ways you didn't know you could get hit. I think it is a shame the way they wouldnt let Cotto come in like he wanted to at the weight limit. It was more mind games than anything. Roach had a great game plan. Cotto's team looked like amateurs.

Pac-Marg is bull****. Margarito should be banned for life one. Two, this is Arums doing trying to build his broken fighter back to make him more money. Stop fighting in-house fighters only Uncle Bob. By they way Pac cannot fight Margarito he is too tall. Check the sig...

translation "im not a afraid of another big payday, sure il get my face battered again why not"

if it takes place at 151, pacquiao shouldnt get cotto's belt. but why would this fight happen, the first fight was a landslide,its like mayweather giving zab judah a rematch, just cuz cotto had 2 good rounds doesnt mean the fight was close, it was a shut-out.

and why is margarito being considered ? he doesnt even have a license and just fought a bum and all of the sudden hes deserves a shot at the p4p champ ? what a joke.

if mayweather doesnt sign the papers, then fight either andre berto or paul williams, or call out timothy bradley, im sure he'l come up in weight to fight him in a heartbeat.

a cotto rematch or a margarito fight is pure garbage, not interested in neither of em, bob arum tryna keep all the money to himself,

Agree. But he's more worry about putting on a show instead.

[Mr.Smith]

Well usually PAC gains at least 10LB or even more just to come to LWW or WW that's 2 weight divisions bro...PAC is not supposed to b a WW but more like a LW & LWW but he could fight WW it's just he has to eat more and gain all that weight and even after that he gains more weight after the weigh in that like frikin 16 to 17lb..

Then leave 54' to the guys that fight at it. Rematch Cotto at 147 and let him come in at 147. Not that it will make a bit of difference in the fight. I just hate the games Pac's team are playing. I respect Pac as a fighter but his camp not so much.

All this was planned for Pac to get his 8th title since the time he beat Cotto. Cotto's being pimped by Arum and team Pac but, hey it aint trickin if you got it...

Well, although i agree you can't come at Pac toe to toe, that's just how Cotto fights, he can't fight effectively moving backwards without taking a lot of shots as well. Cotto should be afraid of Pacquiao, until he stops fighting with his head up in the air without any d, he's always going to be destroyed by high volume punchers that move forward effectively.

[Mr.Smith]

And he "show" got his ass beat..lol I know what you saying man. Like most of us we thought Pac wasn't going to be able to stand up to Cotto's power. He did and then some..

Good point! Along with the fact that Roach had Pac prepared for Cotto's habit's and not his mistakes. Roach earned every bit of his money for that fight.
