Pacquiao-Cotto update!
By Nick Giongco, FightNews.com, Sun, 19 Jul 2009
Reports from Team Pacquiao say that Canadian advisor Mike Koncz is on his way to the US to relay a message to Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum that Manny Pacquiao has agreed to face Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico on Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will be at 145 lbs.
Funny thing is they might have as well taken the fight to 147 lb limit, Miguel made 146 the last time, 1 lb will not make any difference here:-\
Manny will be outweighed by atleast 10 pounds come fight night.
If PAC wins, hopefully there is no excuses.
there will be because cotto weighed 1 pound less than his last fight, that would make him severly drain :rolleyes:Quote:

Is that like a new modern interpretation of carrier pigeon, maybe they could have put a message in a bottle. ha..... Surely they would just pick up the phone these days..... I say they're fightin when they are actaully in the ring.... I'm not 100% that they actually want a Cotto fight, but i guess we'll see....Quote:

Cotto have the advantage at weight
and
Pacquiao have the advantage on speed
:)
this fight will be huge i cant wait for it to happen;D
dunno who i will be rooting for maybe pacman cos of giving away so much weight;D
Cool; can't wait for this one. Should be a helluva' fight; but I'm going with Pac to win.
pac needs to pack on more weight & sort out the heavyweights after cotto thenQuote:

Pac could always fight Pavlik;D He's in a lonely division.
:cool:
I'd rather it be at 147 but this is fine. Never once bought into the 143 thing.
