    Cotto says that Team Pacquiao wanted another advantage over him thats why they requested a catch weight of 150Lbs and also that Bob Arum did not offer $13 Million.

    What do you think ESB?

    Don't give a ****, to be honest. Pacquiao's already bust him up. Not a fight the fans wanted.

    Glad Miguel said no, I personally think he'd win a rematch against Pac. He's grown in confidence since then and also would have a proper trainer in his corner unlike last time.

    Plus Manny's on the slide IMO.

    at a catchweight (145). would be a much closer fight if fought at 154 or even 150.

    I believe Manny is on the slide big time and he is trying to get himself a shot at anyone with a name. I think that is proved in a 4th fight v Marquez which is pathetic. What happens in the next fight will there be 5th? or a 6th?. Paquaio will suffer in a rematch against Cotto as he gave Mayweather a good fight with pressure and i feel this would be the end of Manny's career

    Manny looks on the slide now IMO, however I find it difficult to gauge where Cotto is at because Margarito's eye was ****ed, and even though he fought well against Floyd, what has Mayweather done recently?

    I'm gonna give Miguel the benefit of the doubt given that he looked good against Floyd and should be more comfortable at a higher weight than last time, but I might change my mind if Pac finally figures out Marquez and beats him comfortably, looking good in the process.
