Cotto couldn't make 147 anymore, much less 145, he agreed because they made an offer he couldn't resist, the biggest purse of his career, and he will make a lot more in his next fight against Fraud in a more comfortable weight, Pacroid is a cheater, we need Joey Greco to caught this guy in the act...

Sorry for my english. My father, he was from the United States. Just like you, ya know? He was a Yankee. He used to take me a lot to the movies. I learn. I watch the guys like Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney. They teach me to talk enlgish. I like those guys. I always know one day I'm coming here, United States.

because he wasnt confident he could beat him on equal terms, which is understandable seeing as how he was taking on the top fighter in a weight much higher than he is used to fighting in.

Does anybody feel like it's fair to say Cotto's own promoter wanted him to win this fight?

The most ignorant answer coming from fagtards is that Cotto came in at 146 against Clottey. That shit burns me badly. It let's me know how ****ing clueless you mother****ers are.

Cotto said himself after defeating Foreman that he would be willing to drop back to 47 for right fight.
