Kneeguel Cotto has a soft change of heart.. it's now catchweight @ 159

[FinitoElDinamita]

Maybe they heard that Martinez' knee isnt that bad after all...

Knowing how he pulled the same stunt on Margarito, this isnt surprising..

What the heck is 159 ?

[Ron Swanson]

I don't see how this has any effect other than saddening me. I hope the details of the negotiations stop coming out because the bits that have come out seem so diva.

Holding it up over the name that comes first, why, it will sell either way?

Holding it up over one pound, why, when neither struggles to make weight?

If Cotto comes in to the ring last I'm going to lose a little respect for him, only a little but I don't want to lose any

[FinitoElDinamita]

I lost respect when he started crying on HBO faceoff , going far as to pulling out his Ipad to reach for an evidence that dont exist... he was like trying desperately to prove that margarito's gauge didnt look right poo hoo lol.. I understand how devastating it is to lose your first fight but dam take the loss like a man and stop looking for excuses!

He's a crybaby.. no wonder Tito is closer to Juanma.. there is no room for crying business in boxing.

[powerpuncher]

how is cotto a crybaby? he has had a tough road and hasnt really complained much at all other than against your lover margarcheato. anyways, martinez is small for a middleweight anyways so the 1 pound wont be a factor.

Finito, criticizing a fighter like Cotto who has fought the best throughout his career for doing a catchweight and crying on TV makes you look like an idiot when you're defending a proven cheater in the same post. Margarito is a scumbag for doing what he did, and his reason for attempting it is down to lack of belief in his own ability to beat the best.

Margarito got caught with substances in his glove against Mosley, not Cotto.. He's innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.

And to clear things up, this whole plaster controversy was so overblown it's not even funny.. There were traces of substance, we are talking about a pinch of powder so all these talks of him carrying bricks and brass knuckles are rubbish..

They didnt have any concrete evidence to convict margarito..

[TitoFan]

Seeing such bitterness out of an adolescent breaks my heart. Cotto has had a great career and is headed for the HOF. Margarito is a convicted cheater, and is probably telling his stories while serving fries at a Tijuana McDonalds.

Accept it and move on.

If you are human there is always room for crying, you piss and moan as well as anyone.
I might have done it a time or two myself.

Definitely nothing wrong with crying but making 101 excuses as to why you got your ass beat is.

Yeah it's "crying" when the guy you fought cheated and could have ended not only your career but your life.....yeah "crying"


You're a sad son of a bitch

[beenKOed]

How much money you get, the kind of trash talking you do, and especially what you do in the ring is where the real respect comes from, in my opinion.
You guys are arguing with each other about a pound that everyone says doesn't matter.
Ali was disrespectful. Broner is disrespectful.
Martinez and Cotto are having a difference of opinion about the main course for lunch in comparison.

Nice to see they got the reaction they wanted.

Cotto should be bitch slapped for trying to get a 159 catchweight. That's the lamest condition I've ever heard for a fight. I thought 2lbs was bad… this is just some f*ggot bullshit.

And people shit on Floyd for demanding Olympic-style drug testing? Something that actually matters? Yeesh.

I've always liked Cotto but I hope Martinez takes this and knocks him out Paul Williams style in the first round.
