he is complaining. comparing what pac is willing to do and what floyd is willing to do is irrelevant to the question at hand. besides the fact that these 2 fighters are not the same size, each fighter knows better than anyone what his ceiling weight is and where they are more effective, having both fought above 147. like i said, if he doesnt like the offer, refuse it instead of suggesting that the fighter who whooped you like you were josie harris, is afraid of you.
Nobody wants this fight to happen anyway, so if Miguel loses his chance to fight Pac, isn't that a good thing? Tell Miguel to keep it up. Cotto should throw in a blood test stipulation just to add some more fun.
Pacman is a small WW. **** it, he could even make lightweight if he wanted to (only needs to dehydrate 10 pounds, used to do 16). There is no need to fight Cotto if its not at 154.
Like I said, Cotto is in the driving seat...Arum and Pacquiao are the ones chasing the bout. Cotto has other big options, whereas Cotto is their preferred opponent. It has nothing to do with being the bigger draw. Boxers say a lot of things, that doesn't mean they are going to stick to everything they say and basically fold on the negotiating table. Cotto said he could make 147lbs if it was necessary. It is not necessary to seen as Pacquiao has already tested the water at 150lbs. 150lbs is quite clearly fair. Why? Because Cotto himself said so. It doesn't matter if you disagree, it's valid because he said so. IMO Cotto can still make 147lbs, IF he wanted to. Meet in the middle with no belt on the line.
I don't think he can make light weight or he would have fought Marquez at 140 lbs. He could make 140 lbs if he tryed to though I think.
So why will Poochiao fight margarito at 150 but Cotto has to come down? If i was Cotto I wouldnt even accept 150. How about **** poochiao. I was Cotto I'd go fight mayweather instead at 154 for an even bigger payday and a fight people would rather see
