Cotto's Fuming: THEY ARE TRYING TO PIMP SOME MONEY!

You're right, Quintana is a great fighter because he beat Julio's overatted ass and got a tough decision over Williams who laid him out in 1 in the rematch. What was I thinking?

 

To be honest, it was up to Cotto and his team to secure permission first before they signed a contract. It seems he didn't get WBO permission for the fight, so now they can play games with the bylaws.

 

I beg to differ... In reality he has earned his stature as an elite fighter. No way of questioning that. As far as obtaining the belts... Having them are for the non-informed fans who pay the extra bucks to see a "title" fight. Thus generating more $$$. Then I see the logic with Manny but Cotto never said he would only fight this person or fight at this weight to get a trinket...

 

He still beat Williams... Can't deny him that.

 

Why doesn't Cotto want to put the title on the line?, this is a weight he agreed on so the championship must be on the line. Pacquiao gets a chance to get a title in his 7th division, that's history making and Cotto trying to stop it shows zero confidence on his size.

 

Man stfu. And whats wrong of paying Urkal ( who did Urkal became the mandatory challenger in the first place?) a step aside money to face Quintana in Cotto first fight at ww? Cotto has fought Maussa ( when he was undefeated), Torres (when he was undefeated), Paulie (when he was undefeated), Quintana ( when he was undefeated), Mosley (who destroyed Margarito), Margarito ( who was by many the most fear fighter on the planet. But same man that might have cheated to tko Cotto), Clottey ( who top fighters would choose Clottey over Berto, Cintron?) Cotto imo has every right to choose if he wants to defend his title or not in a catch weight that is not in the ww limit. If Pacquiao is the greatest and blah blah blah then fight Cotto at the ww limit. Isn't that hard ?

 

Yes Williams ko Quintana in round 1 in which is better then Quintana beating Williams in the first fight. But still Quintana has a win over Williams in his record book in which you can't erase it. So who did Diaz beat by the way that was better then Julio and Williams?

 

Is that the most impressive active WW resume besides Shanes?

 

But Cotto said Pacquiao agree to a non title fight. Also Pacquiao already said out of his mouth that title belt or not it don't matter to him cause all Pacquiao wants is to give his fans a great great fight.

 

Same reason Pac won't fight at 147.

 

I believe so yup.

 

EXACTLY. People say it's just 2 pounds. Ok, well if Miguel were to weight in at 149 or 150. He's considered a junior middle weight if it be 1 pound over or 2.

they are fighting at welterweight.
welterweight is anything between 141-147.

149 > 147 ==> not welterweight
150 > 147 ==> not welterweight
145 > 141 & 145 < 147 ==> welterweight!!!

when the welterweight champ fights at welterweight then his welterweight title should be on the line.

 

Looks like Cotto is having money problems. The title is up for grabs, so, he would have to pay the sanction fee. Standard procedure.
