    I love how Pac fans try to use this ******ed reverse psychology as to givew the impression that Cotto is going to read ESB posts and be goaded into putting the belt on the line because some jackass who jerks off to a Pac poster every night says he's scared. The guy Stepped in the ring with Margarito when hardly anybody else would. He's fought everyone fans have pretty much wanted barring Paul Williams. With the exception of Michael Jennings hes fought hard fight after hard fight. Im pretty certain he's not scared and is just using the belt to negotiate. Much in the same way Pac is using his draw and p4p status to get the negotiations to go his way.

    In the same manner that dela Hoya contested Hopkins WBO middleweight crown at 158 instead of 160. What's wrong if Pac a former flyweight asked for it? :patsch

    Look I dont think hes scared. but why all the talk when he just put his title on the line at 146, but he doesnt want to at 145?? against the best boxer in the world, and have a ton of money to pay that sanction fee?? I dont know why he doesnt just put that title on the line

    He shouldn't have to put his title on the line. If Pac wants the WW belt, then let him fight at WW.

    There's nothing wrong with asking for it...I didn't say there was, my point is it isn't owed to him..can you comprehend that??

    Hopkins offered 158 and his belt, it's different. Hopkins was the one who really wanted the fight and pursued it. DLH accepted.

    Man STFU About Pacquiao being a former flyweight. Blah blah blah. Pacquiao was just a teenager back in his flyweight days and didn't beat anybody worth a damn so again STFU!! Duran fought at what? 118 pounds? Look what he's done, he beat one of the best fighters in the world in Leonard without catch weight bs.

    Hopkins was the one that wanted to fight De la hoya so damn bad. He called out De la hoya for years. Cotto wasn't desperate to fight Pacquiao. And Cotto didn't tell Arum "To make the Pacquiao fight happen"

    After Roach said if Cotto vs Pacquiao happen it be at a catch weight. Cotto only said if it's a catch weight it be at 145 pounds.

    both were not desperate for this fight. pac only said to make the fight happen because arum had been all over it due to his hands in both their pockets.

    frankly at this point without the belt, i really would prefer this fight not to happen. both pac and cotto have shown they are not that invested in this fight. without the fight, cotto can plod along until he finally finds his depth again. and pac with his limited time can focus on the real fights out there.
