Damn and I was going to Vegas that weekend
Since PBF/JMM will not happen until most likely September, I think we will see Shane/PacMan in October. And we can all hope and pray for PBF/Cotto fight inJan./Feb.

Post fight vs Cotto
Wraps taken from the Mosley fight
Notice what appears to be the same bloodstain
Great fight last night. They're both two of my favorite fighters so it was hard to root against either but I had to back Cotto being at the Garden andall. I didn't keep track of the score during the fight but I knew it was close. I watched it tonight and gave it to Cotto 114-113 but I would no problemwith anyone giving it to Clottey. Nice to see Clottey finally get a chance to shine but he'll now probably be the most avoided guy in boxing other thanmaybe Williams.

I'm a Cotto fan, but I think he lost that fight. You have to give him credit for going the length with that huge cut, but Clottey was the aggressor inmajority of the fight. He didn't close, but I still think he should've won.

Great Pics , as far as the handwraps go you cant just blame the fighter he doesnt wrap his own hands , if somethng becomes routine you dont even think about it. You can blame the trainer and the commission for not doing there job . Its old news he has been suspended and his old trainer has been fired . And Clotteyisnt a big puncher any way who was the last guy he stopped a Faded Diego Corrales ?
Williams beats Clottey allday he outworks him to a easy dec.

Also, Cotto needs to leave his 'yes men' home and get a real corner crew.
His current team is pitiful.

Yup.
Great pics Jags
I remember Arum saying he'd have a bunch of world class trainers lined up for Cotto after his fight with Clottey.
But I think Cotto might be contempt with Joe Santiago in his corner.

Ride with the dude that been riding with you since your amateur days. I think I was the only one that probably was SMH @ Hatton when he dumped his oldtrainer for Mayweather Sr.

Yall know cotto basicaly trains himself, did u hear the instructions he was getting between rounds
Laughable.
His people give him no insight or change in game plan or things to tweak in his original plan.

you know if this pac/cotto fight happens... this will be the first time i'll cheer against pacquiao. And I'm not even close to being a Cotto fan. Icheered against him when he fought Judah, Mosley, Margarito, and Clottey.
But the pacquiao nut-riding here is getting worse. Local media been bashing Arum for putting Cotto in Pacquiao's level when he made that statement aboutbeing an even fight. One guy compared him to David Diaz

[h2]Cotto-Bobby Pacquiao dead-even fight[/h2]By Recah Trinidad
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 02:14:00 06/16/2009
Filed Under: Boxing
PROMOTER cum lauded Bob Arum, no doubt, has the highest respect for world boxing pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
But Arum will have to elaborate on what he honestly thinks of Pacquiao as a fighter following his latest pronouncement.
Arum made a shocking claim in New York on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) which sent many Pacquiao diehards wondering what the revered promoter was up to.
* * *
Arum was only kidding?
"He (Cotto) and Pacquiao is a dead-even fight," Arum was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
Maybe Arum thought nobody was listening when he made that lofty assessment of Cotto, who's also under contract with Top Rank.
Problem is the whole world heard what Arum claimed he thought of both Pacquiao and Cotto.
* * *
The unbelievable comment came on Sunday, after a bloodied Cotto eked out a contested split decision win over Josh Clottey of Ghana at the Madison Square Garden.
Arum was at ringside with Pacquiao to watch the main event.
But it's easy to believe Pacquiao was not within hearing distance.
* * *
Anyway, knowing Pacquiao, the Filipino boxing icon would've humbly smiled off the Arum comment, if it ever reached his hears.
Here at home, Pacquiao fanatics have every reason to feel insulted.
Of course, Filipino fans, who Arum claims he truly adores, are not expected to raise hell.
But these same fans will not hesitate to tell Arum that Pacquiao deserves a worthier opponent.
* * *
It's like this: In displaying faded skills, Cotto, although physically bigger, visibly disqualified himself as a decent candidate for Pacquiao's next foe.
In fact, there followed suspicions that all Arum plans to give Pacquiao is another punching picnic, a final ring outing for the year, before the Pacman joins the 2010 political race.
There are only very few fans who believe that Cotto will not turn into another swollen statue like David Diaz, who got stunned stiff after Pacquiao exploded with blinding fistic fireworks.
* * *
Now, if Arum honestly wants to enhance Pacquiao's chances in the political ring, he should think of a worthier foe, without insulting the intelligence of Filipino fans.
The way things appeared after Cotto's flat-out win in New York, Arum was caught peddling silly tough steak with that #++@-eyed line.
Arum had also been suspected of trying to grow a longer nose than Pinocchio's by Sir Michael Marley, the famous ringside wit who writes for boxingconfidential.com.
Arum has no choice but to rethink his sales pitch.
Unless he means Bobby Pacquiao, the Pacman's luckless younger brother, is pretty even with the faded Cotto.

[h2]Mayweather out of action with injury[/h2]
Comment Email Print Associated Press
LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. has damaged cartilage in his ribs and will stop training for his comeback fight until a doctor says he can resume.
Richard Schaefer, chief executive of Golden Boy Promotions, told The Associated Press on Monday that Mayweather has been in tremendous pain since suffering the injury during training on Thursday.
"He tried to work through it. He really did not want to postpone the fight, but it came to the point where he could barely sit," Schaefer said. "He could not train, he could not move and there was really not much of a choice."

Getty ImagesFloyd Mayweather's training has been shut down until his rib cartilage injury heals enough for him to resume.
Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) was scheduled to fight Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) on July 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Schaefer said both fighters have committed to rescheduling and a September date has been mentioned. But promoters and the fighters won't agree to a date without the OK of doctors.
Mayweather's ribs are not broken, and the former five-division champ plans to see a doctor this week, Schaefer said. He said he did not know exactly how Mayweather damaged his cartilage.
"Right now he cannot go and train, he cannot work out, he cannot run, he cannot hit the heavy bag and the speed bags and jump ropes and all these kinds of things," Schaefer said. "He definitely will need some additional training but again, Floyd is such an amazing athlete -- and really on top of his game -- that I think it will be relatively easy for him to get right back into it."
Cartilage connects the ribs to the sternum, and can tear away after direct blows to the chest, other trauma or particularly violent coughs and sneezes.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo injured his rib cartilage during the team's season-ending game at Philadelphia last year, a disastrous 44-6 loss in which Romo fumbled, was sacked and benched. Coach Wade Phillips said a flare-up of the pain caused Romo to collapse in the shower afterward.
Mayweather and Marquez were scheduled to fight at a catch-weight of about 143 pounds, eight more than Marquez has ever fought and the lightest weight for Mayweather since 2005.
Mayweather hasn't boxed since knocking out Ricky Hatton in December 2007. He was slated to fight a rematch with Oscar De La Hoya but instead abruptly retired last June, while still considered the sport's pound-for-pound king.
Now, many believe Manny Pacquiao holds that title after he beat De La Hoya and Hatton in fewer rounds than Mayweather.
It's possible that Mayweather and Pacquiao will eventually meet in the ring if Mayweather beats Marquez first.
But promoter Bob Arum also wants to set up a Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto fight in November, the earliest Cotto can get back into the ring after the welterweight's win over Joshua Clottey on Saturday.
Cotto won by decision but left Madison Square Garden in New York with a big gash over his left eye that required six stitches.
