What's next for Cotto

[TitoFan]

Cotto abandoned his fight plan against Pac because he got the fuck beat out of him by a superior fighter. Simple as.

Cotto is a great fighter that put up a great performance against Floyd.

You can give him huge credit without making silly excuses for his previous defeats. Lets keep it real.

This makes no sense. I'd say that he "got the fuck beat out of him" BECAUSE he abandoned his fight plan, not the other way around. And since when can't we speculate on how fighter "X" would've done in a fight under other circumstances? Oh yeah, right..... 'cause it's Cotto, the fighter you love to hate.

Cotto fought a level fight for two rounds, got seriously hurt and knocked down in the 3rd, got seriously hurt and knocked down in the 4th, then fought the rest of the fight completely on the defensive trying to survive, before finally being saved from the torture.

Pac beat the shit out of Cotto. Floyd boxed the shit out of Cotto. He did well in both fights.

No excuses needed. Fact.

No excuses given. It's ok to speculate how Cotto would've done against Pacquiao with a trainer like Pedro Diaz in his corner and a gameplan like he had last night for Floyd. And from my point of view, last night was hardly "Floyd boxed the shit out of Cotto." But you're completely biased, and never accept defeat.

Fact.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. How can I be "defeated" if I'm not even competing? I've simply stated how events played out.

Pac beat the shit out of Cotto. Fact.
Floyd beat a UD into Cotto. Fact.

You are 100% entitled to speculate on what might have happened. I'm just stating what factually happened. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you were "factually" stating what happened, you would have said that Pacquiao beat the shit out of Cotto at a catchweight of 145lbs and with no trainer" - As it stands, you're being selective in your so-called facts.

Here's a "fact" for you though because I know you like facts : Pacquiao refused to fight Cotto in a rematch unless it was at 145..why is this if he so handily beat the shit out of Miguel in their first fight? (Not to mention that he is the fucking WELTERWEIGHT champion of the world NOT the 145lb champion)

To follow on from that, I would love a Pac vs Cotto rematch. I fancy Cotto to take him to the cleaners at 154. Why not? Doesn't Pacquiao formerly hold at belt at Light Middle? Or was that the 150lb belt he vacantly (and fraudalently won) against Marg?

Unfortunately team Pac will continue to sell snake oil to the Pac fans all over the world. I wish Pac would fire about 85% of his retarded team and develop a brain to think for himself. Bob Arum would be first to go and Roach wouldn't be calling any shots for Pac either.

How is stating a fact being "selective?"

If you want to add to my fact that's entirely up to you.

Cotto agreed to the catchweight. If fighting at 145 was such a major handicap he should have refused. He didn't. It's impossible to prove he lost because of the weight. That is purely opinion.

What we do know for certain though is - Pac beat the shit out of him. Fact.

[El Kabong]

Cotto also went into the fight sans trainer....sooo Cotto was at a major disadvantage let's be honest about it.

I already gave you an example of how you were being selective so I'm not going to repeat myself. You stated "a" fact but chose to omit others. Hence you were selective (Hopefully you now understand the word "selective"..you're welcome)

More facts :- Team Pac have been known to say things like "We knew he'd be weaker at xxx lbs"

Or when Mosley wanted to fight Pac before Floyd signed to fight him "We'll only fight you at 142..you're not the same as Oscar"

I like this "Fact" game...do you have any facts for me about why they wanted Miguel again at 145 despite beating the crap out of him last time for the 147 title?


If we have no proof that the weight was the deciding factor, then neither do Team Pac. So it would have made sense, especially now, to rematch Miguel at a comfortable weight and outshine Floyd..also pick up a nice payday and some high ppv numbers.

I have a feeling they know what's up..

Your interpretation of the word "selective" is a bit odd.

A fact is a fact. Whatever the weight was it will never change the fact Cotto was stopped by Pac. And that is the only fact I am reporting.

I honestly have no idea whether Cotto got the shit beat out of him because of the weight. That's impossible to prove. Even if Cotto beat Pac at 154 it still wouldn't prove it. There are a multitude of excuses available to fighters for every contest.

I'm not interested in excuses.

No Fenster.... of course you're not interested in excuses. Not unless they serve YOUR agenda, of course.






"Congratulations David Haye. Magnificent effort. Fact."

The "experts" predicted an easy KO for Wlad. He would take Haye "whenever he felt like it"

Instead we saw SIZE determine the outcome.

A good big man beats a good little man.

Well done Wlad.

Of course, you already had no credibility to begin with.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I say Cotto should call out Pacquiao again but only to see if Pac is willing to fight at 154.

Given the changing perception of Cotto as a fighter it would be a popular fight and very easy to sell plus Pacquiao really should believe that the extra weight on Cotto is no problem.

Of course it should be no problem. Didn't Pacquiao fight Margarito, who's a naturally bigger guy than Cotto? I'm sure Margarito rehydrated back to at least 165 by fight time. Cotto wouldn't carry that much weight into the ring, even if he weighed in at 154.

I'm pretty sure that after Pacquiao was hurt by a body shot landed by Margarito, Pacquiao's team have made the decision to remain at 147 for fights. If I'm not mistaken, this was why a second fight with Cotto was not made, and it'll continue to be the reason why a future fight with Cotto won't be made.

It's just my opinion but I don't think the weight was the issue with Cotto in his loss to Pacquiao. To me, Cotto is a tiny junior middleweight. I actually thought he was just an average-sized welterweight, definitely not a big one. He began his career below 140, and fought most of his fights at 140 or below. He was a beast at 140, a semi-beast at 147, but not so much a beast at 154. There's a reason why he fought bruisers at 140 and 147 and then at 154 fought Yuri Foreman, 38-year old Mayorga (unranked), and damaged Margarito (unranked), prior to his fight with Floyd, who is really a welterweight. He fights at 154 because it's easier for him to make weight, not because he's more effective there. With a proper nutritionist, not the fat guy in their camp, he should be fighting at 147 in my opinion.

Moreover, he fought Clottey at 146 in the previous fight, and looked fine, albeit Clottey wasn't an easy opponent.

Of course it's all theory, who knows the real reason he lost. It was probably a combination of things, including the lack of a good coach. It's entirely possible. On the other hand, it could also be a difference in stamina. There's no way to know as there are a host of reasons of things that could have contributed to his loss.

[Althugz]

I want it again..I want the playing field levelled. No excuses, no nothing. Cotto deserves it..and you know what? So does Pac because his team have done him a lot of discredit in the latter part of his career.

Cotto vs Pac 2 - get it signed (coz we know that "other" fight isn't going to happen)

[Galaxy]

I wouldn't mind seeing Pac/ Cotto 2 at 154
