I agree, Margarito should be banned for life and also face criminal charges. Cotto has been through too many really brutal fights. The cement gloves must have taken their toll on him. And, in the back of my mind I wonder how Pac can consume 7000 calories a day to maintain his weight and be so fast, then only put on 4 pounds after the weigh-in.
No accusations, I just ponder how that can be done for this fight, when light-weight Marquez pretty much equalled him in 2 fights and he could not knock out a skinny Oscar, but later punched holes in real welterweights.

Manuel Perez:

Why didn’t Cotto take advantage of:
1. the distractions in Manny’s camp? The Philippine typhoons, the lack of training days, the numerous flights, the in-team bickering.

2. Manny’s numerous commitments to show business, further rendering his training short in days.

3. Knee injury suffered by Manny after the fight with Hatton. Obviously Manny was wearing pads during training.

If Cotto had an excuse with the weight, didn’t he have the same (almost) weight against Clottey at 146?

Geez, it must be very hard to admit his greatness because Manny just proves you wrong everytime and keeps beating up your boys.

When Manny tears Mayweather a new a*s*s**h*o***l*e, I’m certain you’ll find another excuse, and a frontrunner would be, Floyd isn’t Black American enough.

Bob Arum is a moron. he’s calling manny the greatest of all time for beating Miguel Cotto, just because Miguel is “bigger” than Pacman. dumbest thing i’ve ever heard.
for one not only is Cotto NOT bigger than Manny (look at their pics at the weight-in, they looked the same. the only thing miguel has bigger than manny is his fists and waist size) but they weighed the same at the fight.
how does someone who weights as much as you and one inch taller than you become a bigger man?

David: mosley taking steriods is jeopardizing his own health. bludgeoning another man with bricks is not.
it’s that simple.

Can you imagine being hammered by a hand with a plaster of paris. Its like being hit by a solid brick.

Haha…How come I dont hear anyone echo these same sentiments towards Mosley who actually admitted to using steroids???? and not some ruling saying something contained elements of something that contained elements….no one will come close to match the greatness of Mexicans regardless if this propaganda runs 24/7

Margarito need ILLEGAL HAND WRAPS while Pacquiao dont need it to make Cotto’s face like a hamburger.

I agree, Pac is good and all, but c’mon he never even defended his last 3 tittles. and if he does with his welter he will most likely do it at a “Pac weight” of 145. c’mon a welter is 147 max. it’s b/s he’s the 147 champ, but wont defend it at that. he’s starting to act like floyd. i give him credit, but i think it would have been a greater accomplishment if he fought and won with no catchweight. to a boxer every pound counts. regardless. and how was he ranked that high at welter when he never even fought any welter opposition exept an over the hill DLH. Pac is a good boxer maybe even great but not an ATG and for sure not GOAT.

If two pounds aint nothing ? Then why didnt TEAM PACMAN take the fight at 147 ? Because unlike you guys…They know 2 lbs make a difference!

i like manny and i like Cotto, but to be honest , cotto lost due to three months of training and the most importtant thing is his new green Trainer. Cotto must make up with his uncle Evangelista Cotto and if he dont, than Cotto is in trouble because Joe Santiago, cottos, new trainer is just that NEW!!!! at 147lbs, and with his old trainer, Cotto will give manny the biggest whipping of his life. and for all u out there who say oh two or three pounds is nothing.. thank u know nothing about boxing cause two, three , four or five pounds is a great deal in boxing. but than again, everyone here is a boxer. lol.

I agree that Margarito should be banned for life. What he did was criminal.

I also stopped thinking why there’s a lot of people bound to discredit Pacman’s achievements. He is indeed one of the greatest & no more excuses.

Lastly, I don’t read any articles from that Manuel Perez & Liam Santiago anymore.

Team J & J:
YOu idi#t, Cotto didnt lose bec of 2 lbs. Saying 2 lbs made the difference, then going by your argument, 5 lbs can also make or break Manny. The thing is, they prepared hard. That’s why you have nutritionists, conditioning experts, etc.
Cotto lost bec he’s got inexperienced trainer. Cotto has his own speed but his trainer didnt develop it along with his power. Their gameplan, if they had, was wrong.
