If I were Pac I would wait for PBF/JMM or take up on Mosley's offer of his welterweight title on the line at 140. Cotto really brings nothign to the table if he continues to take this stance.
Wait for winner of Mayweather Jr and JMM. Cotto is taking all the advantages going into this fight. The only reason for Pac to take the fight is for the title. Mayweather-Pac is one of the biggest fights of the modern era and that is no exageration. So why the hell is Pac giving up 5 pounds to Cotto? It's too much of a risk.
WONT FIGHT COTTO! wait for Mayweather! pacman is taking somebody 10 steps higher and they're being an ass. forget them.
Play something else like; - fight Mosley at 143 for Mosley's WBA welterweight title belt (I think Mosley will agree to this since he's willing to even go down to 140 in order to nail a PAC fight)... - sit out, relax and wait for the winner of PBF/JMM... PAC could fight the winner at 143-144 lbs... the same weight of PBF-JMM fight... - retire from boxing for good and run for congress in the Philippines...
I would just leave cotto and his title on dust and fight berto for his belt and after that the floyd-jmm winner. for sure cotto will someday regret for letting this oppurtunity slips away. let cotto have rematch with mosley for lesser money.
IF Pac wants to claim he had belts in so and so many divisions ... then he needs to go fight in those divisions against fighters who fight at the standard weight for that division. Instead of being a ***** about it. It is like a blind man saying to a wlrodl champion dart player "I will fight you for the championship but both of us have to use a blind fold." Suddenly the blind man has far better chances, but if he wins IS he really the world's best dart player? Come on Pac. Stop the BS.
I'll drop Cotto and fight Mosley. That would **** Arum too. Two birds in one stone. Arum is the one insisting on this fight because it is a fight between two of his fighters. Arum will earn from Pacquiao and will earn from Cotto . . . both sides. Arum as a promoter should promote the fight that the fighters and their teams wants. On this case after repeatedly showing unfairness to team Pacquiao . . . team Pacquiao should **** Arum and his plans.
If i were on Team Pac, ill summon my Accountant, analyze the possibility of buying out my contract with Arum, and take the viable fight to recover the cost of buy outs. And yes, Mosley is a big option.
Well I say fight at Cotto at 147 because that is the Welterweight limit, I could careless if it's for an ABC belt or not.
