    wouldn't that be great after team pac making all these concessions and we get to see Pac get destroyed by a body shot writhing in pain like snake on the ground?

    So your saying Pac wont fight Mosley, JMM, or Mayweather? While Mosley was the second pick if Cotto did not happen and is waiting for the JMM-May winner to fight next. :huh Cotto wont fight JMM(Cmon now), Mosley(again), Williams(hell no), Clottey(again), Berto(for what), Margarito(Yeah right)..... SO Cotto dont have an option. Repect your opinion though the examples you gave dont cut it. :cool:

    Cotto didn't need to fight Clottey but he choose Clottey over Berto and Cintron in which shows Cotto isn't afraid of any fighter.

    So your saying IF the bigger guy asks for it, its ok then? Hey dumb *****, think before you type ReT... was going to call you a ****** but that will be belittling all the people who has down syndrome because most likely they are better than you. Peace.

    If the belt holder says I want to fight at a catchweight and put my title on the line, fine. When a challenger starts saying that the titleholder needs to fight at a catchweight and not only that, but put the title on the line, that is where a lot of people draw the line and have a problem.

    That is my issue with Manny. How are you going to go to Cotto, who has ****ing options where he can make equal or greater money, beg him for a fight at a catchweight, then with that handicap say you want it to be a title fight. Not only that, but when you look at the fact that he had no problem fighting at 147 before it really reeks of sandbagging by Team Manny.

    *******s don't listen to reason though, most live in their own worlds.

    Cotto - PBF and Cotto - Mosley would be bigger fights in my opinion, and Cotto would make more money in those fights as well.

    But you said Cotto won't fight Clottey again, Mosley again or Margarito again if the Pacquiaio fight didn't happen. I gave you example you moron that Cotto if he didn't face Pacquiao could fight either one cause like i said he ain't afraid of any fighters. If Arum ask Cotto if he would fight Mosley again, i bet Cotto would say yes in a heart beat.

    I'd favour him too. I reckon ODLH could be a bit soft around the middle with all that extra weight so Hopkins should go to the body. Late stoppage i'd say.

    If you are the champion, and a little guy called you out. Why the hell would you negotiate and compromise for the fight to push thru, but opt not to throw in the belt with it? i only see _ reasons for this.

    -afraid he'd lose his precious belt
    -"this is the biggest paycheck i'd ever get, if i lose, i still get to defend it against somebody who draws the crowd"
    -"stupid people told me not to"
