…Manuel Perez? Are you using another name? or is this Liam Santiago?

It seems to me that someone is desperately looking for a future excuse after stupidly spewing ridiculous prediction about this fight.

Someone closer to this embicile should offer him a counsel of a wiser head.

And If I am him, if Pacman wins I would take solace in vicars and write whatever it is he wants to write about, rather than boxing of which he knows nothing.

Where have you been lately boy, have you been to Jupiter? Roach said even if Cotto weighs in at 147 he will still let PACMAN fight but not above the welterweight limit.

Another nonsense excuse for loosers!

Pacquiao had that looked when he fought Barrera the second and Marquez the 2nd time around. Yet he squeezed those fluids to honor the contractual weight and Pacquiao won. Sure Marquez made Pacquiao look horrible at times, but maybe dehydration also was the culprit why Manny fought sluggish against Juan Manuel. They’re both honorable men, they’ll make the weight and fight without any excuses once it’s over.

Also, what’s the difference between Cotto’s recent photo to this photo taken at Cotto-Clottey weight-in?

http://www.boxnews.com.ua/photos/1802/Miguel-Angel-Cotto-Joshua-Clottey16.jpg

Cotto has a normal sunken eyes facial feature.

Pretending to be a boxing expert is already laughable, claiming to be outrageous soothsayer and now a physician is wildly absurb.

Think clearly and taking that nail-studded broomstick out from your behind will help.

he is not dehydrated he just looks so tired.

oh oh, here comes the ready-made excuse AGAIN! ..lol

He’s too old, he’s dehydrated, he’s washed up, he’s finished, ..LMAO.

Give Pacquiao his due, he’s just a ONCE IN A LIFETIME fighter. There won’t be another one like him in your lifetime, so just sit back and enjoy. Take pleasure that you’re at the same time and you got to witness GREATNESS, it’s historic, relax and be thankful that you got to witness it.

FREDDY SAID, IF COTTO GOES OVER 147, HE WILL CANCEL BUT IF HE’S BETWEEN 146-147 THEY WILL STILL FIGHT HIM. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, BEFORE YOU WRITE YOUR ARTICLE.

“Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach said if Cotto goes above the 145 lb limit he will cancel the fight and call it off, basically denying fans of a fight they wanted to see.”

Hey Lou! you got your facts all wrong, have you seen the interview with ROach? What he said was if COTTO weighs more than 147 then the fight is OFF, not 145! Please be responsible enough and research first before writing something.

Whoever did this is a great makeup artist! What an excuse before the fight! LOL;-p

I think Cotto should move up to 154 lbs., his frame is too big for 147. He’s getting older, and he’s just a muscular guy, and he’ll have trouble making 147 no matter what.

All Cotto has to do is pay the penalty and be at 147 lbs. Pacman is still willing to fight as long not above 147 lbs.

“Miguel Cotto is in his best condition,” Santiago said in Spanish. “I hope our opponent in this fight, Manny Pacquiao, is the same. We’re only three days away from the fight and a great victory for Puerto Rico.

“Manny, good luck. You’re going to need it.”

Now, its Cotto’s corner saying his in his fighting form and you say he looks dehydrated? Easy excuse if Cotto loses right? Give us a break…

To the amateur writer of this article,

Do some research before you flap your gums about the fight being cancelled if Cotto comes in above the weight limit.

If you’d been paying any attention, you’d know that Roach said the fight would still go on at 147.

I think Bookie is right when he said you’re just preparing an excuse of Cotto being dehydrated. Cotto had close to one month advantage in training camp over Pacquiao. Cotto had plenty of time to get down to 145.

And FYI, Pacquiao is always smiling.Has nothing to do with Cotto’s weight.

here’s another idiot writer from nowboxing….why is it that all of you from nowboxing are idiot?even if cotto weighs 147,he will still fight according to roach.if above,then let’s call it a day.you idiot,be careful in what you write.you are a writer,there’s no room for you to make errors.gather your information first.you have no difference with your fellow writer from nowboxing with the name mr lester salvador,he is also an idot writer.nya hahahahaha!!!

I THINK YOUR DEAF!!!!!!!!! OR CANT READ OR SOMETHING MAN!!YOU BETTER CLEAN YOUR EARS MAN.. ROACH SAID “IF COTTO WEIGH “BEYOND 147″ THE FIGHT WILL BE CANCELED. THE CONTRACTED WEIGHT IS 145 IF COTTO WEIGHS 147 THE FIGHT WILL GO ON BUT MANNY PACQUIAO IS GETTING $2M.. $1M FOR EVERY POUND EXCEEDED.

YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR MIND MR.EDITOR lou block!!
Of ALL the EDITOR, IM VERY SUROPRISED THTA READERS KNOWS MORE BETTER THAN YOU!!LOU BLOCK UR OUT OF YOUR ABSOLUTELY OUT OF UR MIND!! UR A SHAME!!

looks like they already have an excuse for cotto after he sleeps in the canvas.. so sad!

where’s laura i miss laura!

The contract is signed sealed & delivered at this point. Cotto will have his biggest pay checque. Roach said that Manny will fight Cotto w/maximum weight in of 147lbs. Team Cotto should be grateful that Team pacquiao have given them a 2 lbs buffer. Whoever wins deserved it all. Just hopefully NO MAFIA Like will FUCK fixing the game that people love so much.

Damn that writer got owned! haha!

I think Cotto saw Manny’s condition and suddenly he looked pale and sunken-cheeks. Really now, I am beginning to suspect we are all starting to gather excuses for af the fight. Remember, Cotto prepared more than a month ahead of Pacquiao and he was 160 at that time. This 170 claim is, I think, from hearsay. Santiago himself said that after the Clottey fight, Cotto kept himself fit and kept his weight at bay for his next fight. Right now his handlers are too optimistic and satisfied with what their fighter achieved in training and looking forward to the fight. They should know better. We are just outside looking inside.

“We worked hard. We worked like never before,” said Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs). “I feel good. I’m in excellent condition.

“It’s going to be a great night for the boxing public. But more special for the Latin people, the Puerto Rican people. We’re prepared for everything. But especially to win.”

-Miguel Cotto

hey, dont write something that u really arent sure! its not 145. its above 147! Eventhough Cotto weighs 150lbs at weigh in, I know Pacman will insist to fight Miguel…dont make any excuses bcoz Miguel will not tell u the same. Just relax and enjoy the fight……………………u better practice writing an article that make more sense….LOL

1 pound for elite fighters should not make a difference. For any other fighter, 1 pound may kill them. If Miguel is struggling at welterweight, he should move up to Jr. Middlewt. He should not have taken this fight! It’s either a mistake of his management or himself. -not Manny’s

I am requesting that the Webmaster close all comments! Why is it so hard for you pac maniacs to talk in a sane manner?

I am just sharing my opinion, I just feel Pacman should face Cotto at 147,so people do not question his legitimacy.

For me Cotto looks more Scared and afraid and not dehydrated…LOL!

Lou Block…you think? Miguel Cotto will agree to the catch weight of 145 lbs. if he know he’s not gonna make it…it’s like your saying Cotto is an idiot and come to the fight dehydrated…may the best man win…no excuses

Why are you being duped by just how Cotto looks? Morales displayed the same condition prior to winning the fight with Pacquiao. Early on they’re making excuses already. Just be being honest that Cotto is fearful of the outcome and by displaying such emotion makes a fighter looks sunken.

non sense!

paquiao and roach is the bigest fraud in boxing history… Surely if pacquiao wins they drain the guy in weight again like oscar and pac fight. They are very smart to manipulate opponents by draining them in the fight night. So smart by picking the right opponents at the right time. Bigest fraud indeed. This two should be ban in boxing.

Isn’t the cotto-clotey fight was done basicaly with cotto at 146?

Maybe cotto looks like that, not because He’s dehydrated, but because He can’t sleep. He has nightmares of the fight’s outcome.

haha…

Desperate…

Guys this writer just want to gain attention…
So common lets give him the love…

L O S E R… hehehe…
just another dumb@ss that can’t accept the truth…

Cotto hardly smiles. He was 146 just 4 months ago. I don’t buy either the Margarito theory. No matter what shape Cotto is at he won’t overcome the relentless volume of punches Pacquiao will throw at him. Bayless will stop the fight at 4th due to the excessive, unanswered punches he is receiving.

If I understand correctly, welterweight is 141 up to the limit of 147…….

Hey amigos,

If Manny will fight our Cotto in 147 catch weight limit then for sure Manny head will be blown out in just seconds. Wanna bet Pacfans?

First of all, Roach said if he went over 147 not 145 that he will cancel the fight. As far as Cotto coming down from 175+ that is his walking weight and he fights in the 147 range. HE came in at 146 for clottey. Cotto and his team claimed that they have no problem with the weight and their training. They would know more than any writers. IF he loses it is because Manny was great. The excuses are already lined up for cotto if he loses. Also come fight night he will weigh way over the 147 mark.

Cotto weighed 146 against Clottey. He will make weight and don’t even start making the excuse that he is “weight drained”. He’s also carrying more body fat than in his past fights. Tell him to lay off the damn pinchos and eat extra lean meats with complex carbohydrates and he would keep the body fat down.

why is mr. block saying that cotto is coming down from 175 or more pounds, when from all the reports out there, say that cotto walks around at around 160. fighters are used to cutting weight and this should be no excuse. no one was making an excuse for clottey when he made the 147 pound limit vs cotto, and then entered the ring at almost 170 pounds. cotto having to cut 10 to 12 pounds is nothing compared to what many of the boxers have to cut.

Our Cotto will fight Manny at 145 agreed weight limit. He is a warrior who is true to his words.
So you Filipinos should watch the downfall of your sports icon.

Viva Miguel Cotto!

Some writers don’t do their research before they write their articles. The readers probably know more than this writer. If Cotto comes in over 147 pounds, the fight is off. Roach says he does not want to take the risk of Manny getting hurt. If Cotto OR Pacquiao comes in over 145 but within 147, the contract stipulates that offending party will pay the offended party an undisclosed amount (probably 1 million dollars) but the fight goes one. If both fighters come in at welterweight but both are over 145 pounds, then no harm no foul, no penalty, and the fight goes on.

Cotto looked like he’s seen a ghost. It’s typical to anybody who’s losing sleep. He’s having nightmares of Hatton’s 2nd round “picture perfect punch”.

If Cotto is struggling to make welterweight, he should fight at 154. But Cotto knows he’ll be sluggish at this weight and could get knocked-out that’s why he remains at welterweight.

Cotto should expect Pacman to be sluggish when they fight because he’s only a junior welter. It’s good motivation for Cotto instead of sulking and get prepared for excuses, excuses & excuses.

Manny will take the fight even if cotto weigh in more than 147. the million dollar penalty per 1 lbs of the contracted weight is too tempting to resist. Anyway, being heavier is not a guarantee in winning the fight.

This will be a lame excuse if Cotto loses to WAPAKMAN!

i believe Cotto has prepared extremely well for this fight. he said it and his staff exclaimed it. i also believe that this is going to be a very exciting fight, however, i 100% believe that Manny will come out as the victor in this bout. After a beating from Margarito, close shaves with Mosely and Clottey, Miguel Cotto has sustained severe punishments as opposed to Manny’s last 3 fights which he eventually won unscathed. Manny is more confident, fresher, more motivated (7 championships), and his “kung fu “is much much stronger than Cotto. Manny “PACMAN” Pacquiao wins via knockout in round 2!!

HAHAHA! THIS AMATEUR WRITER GOT OWNED!

this is CRAP! why dont you go check PHILBOXING http://philboxing.com/news/story-29389.html and you can see a LOT of PHOTOS for their Last Presscon..I am An Artist, and I am knowledgable about Photos. you can’t compare different “SHOTS” from different Event or time..even Camera has different qualiy of Shots and Modes..Like the LCD monitor produces different Pixel color compare from other brands…EXCUSES CRAP!

hey guys.. dont worry ,,, because everything will be fine,, i believe , cotto will catch the weight of 145 pounds and that will be sure,, because he is hungry to fight pacquiao and if he does not get the 145 lbs, the fight will be cancel and the long long training of cotto will be a big useless anymore , so im sure and im telling you, cotto will do anything in a good way to make his weight into 145 lbs so that the fight will not be canceled..

this foool is retarded just like the lester salvador..get your facts right or better yet find something else to write about..or find somethin else to do besides writing

this foool is retarded just like the lester salvador..get your facts right or better yet find something else to write about..or find somethin else to do besides writing..

i tried to submit the comment but it said ive already said it..so im doin a lil editing haha

lame ass article..remind me of a lil kid writing about something thats not on point you wasted your time writing this article what you get out of it you wasted people time with your bullcrap and youre getting nothin but bad comments because of it

THIS ARTICLE SHOULD BE THE ARTICLE OF THE YEAR..GREAT OBSERVATION!!!!GREAT WORK! YOU DESERVE A PROMOTION OR SOMETHING..COULDN’t ANyONE THOUGHT OF WRITING THIS BUT YOU!!!DO YA KNOW ANYTHING??

haaayyy… what the &^@%#@..?

CORRECTION GUYS! this is not a future excuse.. It is already an EXCUSE… por favor, we’re expecting Cotto to come 100% for this fight considering he trained several days earlier than Pac… and now what? we’re hearing excuses already even the fight have not yet started!!! my oh my… hehehe

I think it is you ( Mr. Lou Block ) who’s been dehydrated. The Cotto picture you showed is his looks after Pac KOs him with his eyes crossed. lol

please dont use that as an excuse when he lose..

The food were good and tasty. Especially the deserts. It was the best Italian specialty I’ve ever taste..
Is this the right website? Opppss.. I think this is the wrong website.

Yo! this writer is a ModerPackman Hater! Already making excuses. Cotto didn’t agree to this fight just so he can loose the belt to Manny. He signed up for this fight because he believes he can beat Manny in 145-147. And Cotto already said that he will be the winner of this fight come nov. 14. So what are you worrying about my Prend!? Are you scared because you know that Pacman has the skills to kick Cottos Culo?

NAH, COTTO LOOKS THE SAME AS BEFORE HE FOUGHT HIS PREVIOUS FIGHTS. EVEN IF HE FIGHTS AT FULL WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT HIS FACE STILL LOOKS GAUNT. CHECK OUT HIS PICS DURING HIS WEIGH IN AT PREVIOUS FIGHTS. ANYWAY HE GOES 145 OR 146 OR 147, HE WILL STILL BE IN A VERY TOUGH FIGHT WITH PACQUIAO.

this site sucks!!providing readers an idiot writer…….both fighters hve trainers and advisers…surely they also analyzed and agree in what is stateed in the contract…both fighters signed the contract…with a good agreements!

The face of Cotto doesn’t spell dehydration but more of a worried face.Probably some inner self conflict is happening to him(like a psychologist).
But without trying to be sounding intellectual, personally i do believe he is a worried face than a dehydrated face.Would you add another picture of a confirmed dehydrated face ,even not a boxer but much better if a boxer with doctor’s certification that he is dehydrated,for readers to really compare it please,thanks.

Just don’t read any articles from NOWBOXING. Seems a bunch of writers (wannabe) who don’t even get their facts straight.

Oh and for the record, Cotto himself admitted that prior to the weigh-in with the Clottey fight, he was 145.

It’s Roach who said he’ll allow Pacquiao to fight Cotton only up to the welterweigh limit of 147lbs, but guess what, Pacquiao categorically said he will fight Pacquiao even if he exceeds the limit.

Again, to the writers of LIEBOXING i mean nowboxing, get your facts straight.

hmmm… maybe its the camera’s white balance or

He looks like nervous

what??? r u kidding me? Manny has a big smile on his face because he knows Cotto is weight drained? IDIOT! pacquiao always have that big smile. JUst look at him going to the ring on de la hoya and HAtton fight! what a total dumbass!

hahaha!! i bet they goin to use that again for an excuse,,if cotto will loss they will say again he was dehydrated or drained,,,you are all nuts and stupid…………..

geezz! how come this guy cotto drained and dehydrated,when he fought clottey his weight was 146lbs. he only need to reduce 1lb..dont make it an excuse if he loss this fight….if he will loss this fight it means pacman is too good for him…

damn! theres no difference with those pictures ,cotto still looks fresh,,its the color of the picture, you idiot!ya better wear eyeglass or if u have now,change the grade of the lens,,lolol…u sick guy!!

Lou make a good research.. you feed people with your article shit.. Roach said that if cotto weighs ABOVE 147 the he will cancel the fight.. If cotto would weigh at 147 the fight would still go on.. You are soooo stupid.

Cotto’s martyrdom is getting near. Nove14 will be martyrdom day via a brutal knockout coming from the Pacman. Booming shots from the Pac’s chainsaw hands will execute the judgement and puerto rico will have a national hero in the person of a martyred cotto. Please guys pray for cotto’s survival here.

hey all of you!!!!

lets all pay attention to what Michael Buffer will be announcing after pacman executes cotto w/in 4 rounds…………….

im getting so excited!!!! hahahaha

” and now, the 1st man in the entire boxing history……

…. to achieve 7 weight division championship…

MMMMMMMANNNY….PAAAAACMAAAAN…PAAAACQUAAAAAO !

whoa!!!! i love to hear that!!!

Why already make an excuse when that fight has not even started yet. he weighed 146 with his fight agsinst clottey 1 lb is no problem for a great prfessional fighter like cotto.

I KNOW THAT THE PACMAN IS BRAVE BUT BRAVERY DOESN’T EQUAL STUPIDITY WHY HAVE AN OPPONENT HAVE ALL THE ADVANTAGES THE CATCHWEIGHT IS THERE TO EVEN THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT, COTTO IS THE TRUE WELTERWEIGHT WITH TRUE WLTERWEIGHT SIZE. POWER AND CHIN, WHILE THE PACMAN IS MORE OF A JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT FIGHTER AT BEST GOING UP IN WEIGHT WITH THE BEST WELTERWEIGHT IN THE WORLD AND SHOULD BE THE UNDERDOG IN THIS FIGHT THE ONLY ADVANTAGE HE HAS IS SPEED AND NOT BY MUCH BECAUSE COTTO HAS SPEED HIMSELF (MAYWEATHER HAS NOT FOUGHT ENOUGH WLTERWEIGHTS TO CLAIM THAT AND MARGARITO IS A CHEATER WHO CANNOT CLAIM THAT EITHER) THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT FIGHT AND WE THE FANS ARE THE SURE WINNIER IN THIS FIGHT, I’M A FAN OF BOTH FIGHTERS BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS I WOULD SUPPORT THE PACMAN ALL THE WAY.

i say Freddie is one hell of a coach, always looking for that small advantage for his ward Manny. Can’t blame Coach Freddie for being street smart in protecting the Pacman. But, to settle all the questons if Pacman’s opponents were dehydrated, let’s just wait see Pacquiao fight in the heavyweight division. Now, all doubters of Manny’s abilities are a fighter, are you all now satisfied?

Lou Block, if you make basic mistakes like the one you just did on the weight limit Freddie Roach mentioned, you do not deserve to write on this website.
and to Joash, if you think that Pacquiao and Freddie team is a fraud, why do you even read this article?

They just could not admit the fact that the Pinoy phenom would rule the boxing world. Come everyone, watch and witness the pinnacle success (7th division title) of Manny. I am very sorry to mention that Cotto is destined to be a part of it… Enjoy!!!

LOU “CINDER” BLOCK on November 11th, 2009 7:07 pm I am requesting that the Webmaster close all comments! Why is it so hard for you pac maniacs to talk in a sane manner?

I am just sharing my opinion, I just feel Pacman should face Cotto at 147,so people do not question his legitimacy.

IF YOU WANT US TO TALK THE SAME MANNER MAN READ AGAIN YOUR ARTICE. EVEN YOUR DADDY WILL BE MAD

You Puertoricans do love your fighter so much as much as Filipnos loves PACMAN. But this is not a fight of watchers outside the ring. You may say Cotto will win since you have followed his victory, but you forgot to watched PACMANS fight. With your fighters victory those opponents are not as good as Marquez, Morales and Dela Hoya. So better yet, think twice or you might be shedding your tears by the end of the fight.

VIVA PACQUIAO!!!!

COTTO KO @ 4th.. Want to bet Puertoricans in Cebu Phils. 100K to win 250K.

Stupid article from a stupid writer. Find another job. You suck.
