Pacquiao: Mayweather Doesn't Want to Fight

[Gandalf]

I really doubt Pacquaio sparing a moment to comment on a Mayweather fight means he isn't focused on the Cotto fight. Its just like when I won my basement ping pong tournament when I was in high school, I was looking ahead at times. Anyway if he isn't focused he'll get shitkicked.

If it was just this I'd ignore it, but he seems to generally be overlooking Cotto a bit, at least that's the impression I've got from his attitude in the past few months.

Let's remember Cotto's words at the press conference - 'I am not Oscar De La Hoya, I am not Ricky Hatton, I am not a basement ping pong competition, I am the Walrus!!' Ok I just got bored mid-sentence there, but that's the basic gist of it

Well said. Manny is going to be in for the fight of his life if Cotto is in his walrus midset. He's nigh on unbeatable like that.

"I am not DLH or Hatton" ??

Before those fights the name DLH and Hatton doesnt connote negative impression on fighters.


Can Cotto really say he can beat DLH and Hatton easily?

after the Cotto fight the next Pacquiao opponent wil say

"Im not DLH, Hatton or Cotto. im the Walrus!"

I was impressed by Pacquiao's victories over ODH and Hatton, though I did feel he would win both, but do you honestly think Cotto wouldn't handle either one of them in the same situation?

[Taeth]

I do, and I think Oscar wasn't Oscar when he faced Manny, it was still very impressive, but he was a dried up old prune.

Yes

but what if DLH is facing someone as slow as him that night? Pac magnified the 'weight' bull shit because of his speed. Remember he's a fethaerweight and at Featherweight he was fast. a fast featherweight at Welterweight? just imagine how frustrating that be for an average speedster like DLH.

Just like what I said before, I believe Mayweather doesn't want anything to do with Pacquaio.

Pac never underestimated Cotto so what he's saying is simply how he feels about Mayweather. He wants Mayweather to fight him but it seems MAyweather does not want to take the risk.

Mayweather vs Pac is supposed to be the biggest fight of the decade and people naturally would talk about that so if Pac is talking about Mayweather, he's definitely not disrespecting Cotto.

I think a big part of the motivation for PBF to get out of retirement is Pacquaio.

If Pac beats Cotto. it will surely happen.

Oscar Dela was not not at his best but he will not lose to Cotto the way he lost to Pacquiao. Dela Hoya would land a few left hooks because cotto is not as slippery as pacquiao. and landing a few left hooks could mean a LOT in a fight im sure you'll agree.

on Hatton. same case, you think Hatton will get caught by right hooks a few seconds into the fight againts Cotto? If you look at the phase of PAC-Hatton. very few can keep up with that and Hatton got sparked because he's so aggressive and Pac is accustomed to that phase. in Cotto Hatton got a target that he can actually hit.

My answer is Cotto wouldn't handle either one of them in the same situation. 50/50 on both fights.

I can understand the logic behind ODH providing a reasonable test for Cotto, though I disagree with it. However, Cotto would absolutely murder Hatton. It might not end as quickly as the Pacquiao fight but the result would be the same.

I think Cotto ends up with the victory too, At 147 that is but @140 where Pac-Hatton took place. Hatton has more than a fair chance.

Cotto-Hatton would be a slightly better version of Cotto-Gomez.

[Kirkland Laing]

The "he doesn't want to fight me" thing is just something to say. Neither of them are getting any younger and the pot for their fight could be $150 million and if Manny beats Cotto impressively there's going to be lots of dynamics all pushing to get the fight made. They're both going to make claims like this, both argue for a bigger share of the split, etc. etc., but the bottom line is they can make twice as much fighting each other than anybody else.
