HOLY SHAT!! Miguel Returns the trash talking.. Claims "Paulie is nothing!!"

http://www.fightnews.com/freitag229.htm

WBO junior welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (26-0, 22 KOs) was unusually candid in his comments today in regard to his June 10 pay-per-view clash with unbeaten Paul Maglignaggi (21-0) at Madison Square Garden.

On Malignaggi's credentials:

This guy has done nothing. He's really nothing yet. He's taking this opportunity I'm giving him to try to sell himself, but once the fight is over he'll go right back where he came from, fighting back in the clubs in New York.

On Malignaggi's prefight trash talk:

I don't know if he can back it up or not, but I don't think he can...this is the the first time someone has had the guts to say stuff about what they're going to do to me. I just hope he has the guts to do that in the ring, to stand up and fight. If he doesn't, I'm ready to go at him for twelve rounds, and believe me, he's not going to have the stamina to run away from me for twelve rounds.

On Malignaggi's claims of breaking him down and possibly knocking him out:

I don't think he has the power nor the courage to try and knock me out. I think that's just one of the many lies he's been saying.

On Maglinaggi's motivation for his comments:

I do have to commend him for selling himself as a viable opponent for me. He's been saying a lot of stuff. He's been making up all this stuff that he's going to do to me. I think people want to see if he can really do that to me and I think that's good for the fight. I think a lot of people are going to buy the fight just to see if he really has any possibility of doing anything like that to me and I think that's good for the fight.

On the possibility of Malignaggi-friendly officials:

I'm not concerned at all. As long as I do my job, my uncle gives me the plan and we're sending him wherever he came from.

Knockout or decision?

I really don't know. All I know is I'm going to win. You can hit a home run any time and if Paulie slows down he's going to go to sleep quick.






HOLY SHAT :o Cotto.. a trash talker!!!! Can it be? ;D

He's only stating the truth imo. I don't think we ever hear the name Paul Malignaggi as a threat ever again after this fight.

I like Cotto, he frustrated me in the Torres fight but I hope he does good for himself this fight.

It ain't really trash talking if it includes fact. Cotto is right, Paulie is nothing

cotto has kept it clean. it isn't trash talking he just reasoning with what Malignaggi said

Cotto gonna crush Malinaggi. Malinaggi is nothing that much is true. Too bad I won't get to see it, guess I'll have to rely on Wacko's drunken round by round anaylsis.

Hulk if Malignaggi pulls the upset will you have more respect for him ???

If Malinaggi wins, LEGITIMATELY, that is the key, then I will leave the forum for 1 week, and seriously comtemplate returning. Mayorga gettin KO'd by Oscar and Malinnaggi beating a good fighter like Cotto, would be just too much for the hulkster to handle. :o >:mad

Don't worry about that happening. Seriously, I can't envision Paulie winning.

Neither can I. When I first heard about this match up months ago, it seemed like a joke. Malinaggi hasn't fought nobody, and is a nobody.

Yeah....I mean, I'm not even sure if he is a superior boxer to Cotto.

If Paulie wins, I'll be the first one here to say that the fight was fixed. :thumb:

I hope Cotto get Ko'ed, But he will probably win by late Ko.

I will never respect that fuckin yankee!

I don't really think it was trash talking either because like most others said it was fact. What has Paulie even done to deserve a shot at Cotto? I'm just pissed that there 2 decent fights on that night and there both PPV. I'm going with Cotto 6th round TKO

I aagree Cotto is just saying what he thinks of paulie, he has no courage and is a liar. But I do agree with paul he will bloody Cottos nose by the second round, because he will throw his tampond at Cotto to try and keep him away cuz he would have run out of ways to keep Cotto away!!LOL.

Cotto will not lose,my boy is too good and he's headed for one place and one place alone,that is top 5 P4P,trust me.I have faith in the boy,he has it all! Starr,where is the link for that? It does not sound like the cool calculated Miguel but then again,he was probably calm when saying it.

Thanks,Cool Click.

trashtalking is a load of shit anyway. I think it demeans a fighter to talk badly of a fellow professional. All that needs to be said can be said in the ring. Rahmans gay comment is one of the worst i've heard. What has it got to do with anything if it is true?

Paul Who?
The is guy is a ego trip, Cotto will shut his mouth

No way Paulie will take as many shots as Gatti did. Paulie either gets knocked out early or he quits like Camacho Jr did.
