Cotto vs Manny II???

Cotto vs Manny with random, olympic style drug testing.

I might check it out.

 

Cotto will never step foot in a ring with Pac ever again. He was brutalized.

 

uh hello pac and roach said it.

 

and Cotto is going to do the same fight again? If pac is not going to test Cotto's power, then Cotto is not going to fight him the same either.

 

Is difficult to think anybody would turn down a $25-40 million payday because of being afraid of needles or being afraid it might somehow misteriously weaken you, and only you, since both fighters would be subjected to the same standards. Wouldn't you think? Then again, common sense is not so common!

 

Cotto's fighting Foreman, I thought that was clear. Now, Foreman is not a good stylistic match up for Cotto (though really now, who should he be fighting, Martinez or PW?), but the reason why I think he's chosen Foreman is because of his (non existant) power. This should be a pure boxing match.

It would be stupid for Cotto to rematch Pacq, he'd get dismantled, because even his confidence would be taken away from him, knowing that at any time, Pac can hit with punches he cannot trace. Saying this, I do believe Cotto has the tools to trouble Pacq (not beat him though). Problem is, Cotto's too proud for that kind of fight. But anyway, it ain't happening.

 

:goodI would definitely love 2 see that!!!

 

will never happen.end thread

Not really. If I had a weakness to needles (and it can happen) I certainly wouldn't want to enter a fight that could define my career, weakened.

It's not like Pacquio's weakness to needles wasn't documanted way before this fight had been put up for discussion.

Roach said in an interview that they'd take blood testing, but not days before the match. And they'll do it after. To me, that's enough. I don't understand why would anyone insist in blood being taken right before the fight, when you still do it afterwards. It's not like all those substances vanish in such short amount of time.

 

I hope for Cotto's sake this doesn't happen.

 

if it does happen, i bet its going to be at 154.

 

It'll never happen..
Cotto was dominated so easily by Pacquiao there's just no way he will do better, even at a different weight class. Cotto was beat so bad, why would his trainers/premoters ever let him fight again? Why they would let their fighter go through that punishment is beyond me.

 

well if cotto gets himself a great corner i would think it'll be a whole different fight remember up until cotto was knockdown although it was early cotto was just popping pacs head with the jab so maybe with a good corner manny could be in trouble

 

Wouldn't be any different. Cotto has been touched up in his last 3 fights and more than likely will get touched against Foreman. The guy is damaged goods.

 

Cotto must want to die.
