Roach: "We Don't Need To Fight Cotto For No Title"

sounds fair enough.....

but Cotto ain't putting his title on the line if it aint 147, so they're options are take the fight at 147 or fight Mosley

 

its up to cotto now, if he really does want this fight or not.

 

:roll: Just shut up and fight. Preferably, fight Marquez again - freeing up Floyd for Cotto (and then the Mosley/Berto winner).

 

But Roach said title belts are overrated. I don't get it if it's overrated then why Roach wants Manny to win one? So Manny can become an overrated champion?

 

It makes sense. He's seeing prestige in volume, basically. A single world title, in the modern alphabet climate - so what? Seven, though...that' something.

 

for the accomplishment of being the 1st ever 7division champ

 

He is very right.

No point in fighting Cotto if the title is not on the line.

So, either make it at no catchweight or fight Mosley instead who is willing to offer his WW belts even at 140.

 

no for 2 reasons

if i was cotto's manager i would want to keep the belt so if he loses he has somethign to come back too

how are you going to put a

on a fight thats @ 145?

 

If Roach wanted the title so bad he should fight at 147, funny how he was saying all that **** about it being no problem and them not even needing the belt, now they are crying.

What is really funny is how is the WBO going to make Cotto puth is belt on the line against Manny, when Manny is a voluntary defense. The WBO can't do ****.

 

Roach is higher maintanance then my ex girlfriend, theres no pleasing him and his bull**** demands.
Cotto's doing the right thing, you want my 147 title then fight me at 147lb.

 

aw gad not that again. there are enough threads posting reasons for both sides already.

what it boils down really is just how much both of them wants this fight. then let concessions be made to make it happen, or simply walk away.

 

That's perfectly acceptable in my opinion, but Pacquiao should go the full 47lb weight limit for his legacy's sake. This way, the only asterisk that's going to his ledger if he wins is that Cotto was a "spent" fighter when they met. If he loses, he lost at a weight that might have been too high for him anyway.

 

Cotto should insist on it being 147.

 

Agreed on all counts.:deal
