Cotto's welterweight belt is on the line!!!

[C-Lo]

Good so you agree that Cotto can come in at 147.

You guys bitching and moaning about the weight and split can save it. No one forced Cotto to take the fight. He has a team of negotiators who settled on those terms with the Paquiao camp. If Cotto and his team are satisfied with the terms, then there's no reason anyone else should care. 145 is a welterweight fight by definition, period. It's perfectly legitimate for the belt to be at stake and Cotto doesn't have a problem with it.

But Manny has issues with fighting at 147 which automatically devalues this fight. No matter who wins IMO.

This is not for the WW crown whatsoever, despite what we are being fed here. Manny is too chicken to fight for that kind of thing.

Really Miles? I know you have some heavy dislike for the Pacquiao/Roach camp but to call Manny a chicken is a stretch. He already fought Barrera, Morales, and Marquez multiple times!! Then he moved up in weight and was considered the smaller man against Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, and now Cotto. Who else is willing to fight these types of fighters and scale as many weights?!

I don't get how people are complaining about P4P fighters matching up with each other. Pac is going up 5 pounds from his last fight and Cotto just needs to lose 1.

But! I don't think the title should be on the line if the limit isn't 147 IMO.

Hey everyone! Write to the Nevada Athletic State Commission to protest this fight along with the FLoyd-JMM fight. It's a farce I tell you! No catchweight fights you hear me!

Business & Industry - Nevada Athletic Commission

And the sanctity of an alphabet belt organization must be protected! Floyd and Manny are chicken I say!




















Nah, I'm just fukking. Just like Violent Demise said, he's going to get high and order the fight! Though I'm not going to get high but will enjoy this fight and the Floy-JMM fight!
