Come on Cotto, do the fcuking business. Its an insult the man the way he has been sold short in this fight!
I cant believe the incredible amount of disrespect to Cotto heading into this fight. Remember the other month when Ward fought Pudwill and Kessler fought Pedermo or whatever his name was ? Going into those fights its like ok when Ward and Kessler fight cause we knew those guys where lower level fights. With this fight everyone talks about Pacquiao fighting Mosley or Mayweather and basically acting like Cotto is a Shelby Pudwill.
Thankyou man and I forgot to mention in my post Shelby Pudwill is no Miguel Cotto. Cotto is also no Ricky Hatton or drained DLH.
so excited for dis fight 2 weeks away from 2day guys! dat still seems like a lifetime to me lol. cotto looks so determined n a chip on his shoulder the way he is talkng in interviews a perfect camp he has had.pacman looks great as always i wont pay attention to what freddie says everyday,everyday he has sumthng new to say,bob arum and many people arent treating cotto fair as they should are they forgetting pacman is the challenger in this fight and cotto is the champion?
Pacquiao is not sweating it ... he is here at Hardtimes Billiards all day today and tomorrow sponsoring a tournament and playing as well....there are afer parties and a ton of his fellow phillipinos. So, he has a lot of time on his hands and is taking things lightly and not too serious or stressing......reclining back making plans for his " Megafight " the one he always wanted in the first place with Mayweather !!!!
Doubt it. He's probably only going to show up for the 1-on-1 with the tournament winner, or at least he should only do that.
