Pacquiao Orders Arum To Make Cotto Bout, Nov. 14

[CFH]

Pacquiao is going to bludgeon Cotto. To tell the truth, out of the big three (PBF, Mosley, Cotto) this is the fight I least wanted to see.

[TheDemolitionDan]

The way Cotto looks now I don't want Cotto suffering the same fate Hatton and De La Hoya fell into. Fighting Pacquiao, who has improved overall over the last couple of years. While Cotto, like when Hatton and De La Hoya fought Pacquiao, there overall ability have decreased. I hope Cotto doesn't take this fight.

Yup totally agree

Pac saw what a lot of other people saw, a lot of flaws in Cotto's game. I see the fight probably happening at 147 even. He wouldn't be calling him out like this if Cotto had KO'ed Clottey.

I'm confident in a Pac victory, possible stoppage. I'll believe the fight is actually happening when it's signed though.

I said I thought Manny would win before the Clottey fight but this is still an interesting fight, Cotto could at least revert back somewhat to the search and destroy mode which is where he's at his best.

Still my reasoning for picking Manny was that I thought Manny's foot speed, lateral movement and hand speed would cause Cotto problems. But its still a hell of a fight on paper IMO. Nobody would look good against Clottey. I would still pick Cotto in a Mosley rematch.

I think people are overreacting. Cotto suffered a nasty cut that impaired his vision. Even Amir Khan was able to look good after assaulting Barrera's head with an axe. Cuts can make a difference in a fight and it did here too.

Cotto would probably bust Pac up even now. It's interesting hearing all this talk about Cotto being past his best because I really don't think he is. I would really like to see Manny walk through half a dozen Cotto body shots unscathed.

Bring it on, I say. I'm getting sick of the little midget and his big mouthed trainer.

Word of advice mate... Be prepared to get sick more...

Haha! I shall copiously vomit all over the place. Might even include a bit of projectile puking in for good measure.

I'm just cynical. People are saying Cotto is past it and here is Manny saying let's have a Cotto fight. Get out there and fight Mosley, you little poof! I'm not into this looking for weaknesses and then trying to make the match nonsense. I want the best to fight the best. Mosley is a cracking fight and it's a shame they won't fight him.

I hope Cotto has plenty left and beats him up. And let's not go into this catcweight of 141 and quarter pounds rubbish. You want a WW, well go up to WW and fight him. I'm sick of this pansified drivel.

As I've said, be prepared to get sick more... a nauseating sick...

Even before the Clottey-Cotto fight, I already pick PAC to defeat Cotto... The only one I pick over PAC is Mosley...

IMO Clottey soften Cotto some more so I think it will be more easier for PAC to handle Cotto now... Cotto been in so many wars recently... The one with Clottey, Margacheato (ohh that's so brutal), Mosley and Judah while PAC has a streak of easy fights where PAC either KO'ed or dominated his opponents in one-sided fashion...

Cotto going straight to PAC in November after the Clottey war will only make PAC's life a lot easier....

I would rather see Manny fight the top ww's at 144 than the junior ww's because he already knocked the #1 jr. ww out and the other junior ww's aren't as captivating as the current ww's.

Although if they are going to say the fight is at ww, it has to be actually at 147.

Why would he fight Mosely - a tougher, bigger fighter who lacks a fan base and who already lost to Cotto? With Cotto, he makes more money and takes less risk. It's a no-brainer. Cotto had MSG filled to capacity.

I'd love to see Pac get beat more than anyone, but I just don't see it, Cotto hasn't been overwhelmed like what Manny will do. Cotto had some nice footwork last night and he sure will need it.

Again with the cut, I see Manny slicing Cotto's face up and winning with a late stoppage. If they are talking November, will that cut be totally healed?? He will be testing it thats for sure.

It's not just Clottey that has been able to tag Cotto frequently.

The little guy is going to learn real quick what a true welterweight is, not some weight drain fighter that's shot. I have visions of Pacman being KO by an vicious body shot like the Hopkins-DLH fight a few years back.

And by the way be a man and fight a fighter at his best, no catch weights.

How would you call Ricky Hatton (a giant?), and Floyd Mayweather Sr. (Meek?)

Pacquiao is going to bludgeon Cotto. To tell the truth, out of the big three (PBF, Mosley, Cotto) this is the fight I least wanted to see.

I disagree. This is the fight I most wanted to see because out of the 3, this will actually be the most exciting fight to watch. I knew though, that after Cotto putting in a close performance Manny would pick this fight. If Cotto had stopped Clottey impressively, no way Manny would have taken that fight.

Of course, PAC was watching if Clottey did enough "softening" on Cotto... PAC was convinced and instructed Arum to make the fight with Cotto... (joke)

I didn't say he was looking for Clottey to soften him up. I'm saying he was looking for signs that Cotto's in ring performance is slipping. Thats not to say that it is though.
