You
keep leaving messages for me in our Forum so I'm going to
try and answer all of them. However, I'm NOT going to
spell check for you, so it's going up as you wrote it,
people, and here we go:
Written by Venus: (Sic)
Who needs a pacquiao-mayweather fight? To suggest the idea is pathetic;
the point of view is cross-eyed to say the least. To assume
that the winner of the Cotto-Pacman fight to face
Mayweather? What would both Miguel and Manny get out of
Mayweather? Money? Common let us be honest here and talk
real boxing sense. Either fight, I DON'T agree that
Mayweather brings in the money to the equation; easily, it
is the other way around. I don't think I still need to
qualify my opinion on Floyd. The fact is he is a businessman
and an entertainer wearing boxing gloves. If you'll ask me i
don't think boxing needs him. Why should i spend hard earned
money to watch a JOKE of a "fighter" in Floyd? Now on the
Cotto-Pacquiao catchweight fight. We all know that it is, as
a matter of fact, a fight made in heaven where the gods are
surnamed Arum and the likes, but what the heck, am still
eager to watch it coz that's a fight worth seeing. Sure as
hell there's going to be fireworks in there. Manny is doing
it for GLORY, Miguel for MONEY. Plain and simple as that.
After this fight, for boxing's sake; I would love to see a
real welterweight fight between Cotto and Mosley; and a real
lightweight fight between Manny and Juan Miguel. NOW, THAT
WOULD BE HONEST-TO-GOODNESS BOXING BETWEEN REAL FIGHTERS
BOXERS! wHO NEEDs PBF? stupid.

My Response:
Really who needs A Mayweather Pacquiao fight? The idea is
pathetic? What I find pathetic is you rolling your eyes at
the biggest fight in boxing. You don’t think Mayweather
brings money to the equation and boxing doesn’t need him?
Well, the facts don’t lie. Mayweather is the king of PPV
and a million people agreed with him when they bought the
Mayweather - Marquez fight. You say Manny is doing it for
glory and Miguel for money? Where are your facts? Here’s
the truth: they are both doing it for the glory and the
money. If it was just about the glory why not fight for
free?

after reading your post, all i can say is that "you don't
sound like you believe what you just posted". first of all,
i now dont believe there is this thing called 'puerto rican
pride' after knowing that you actually BET against Cotto on
the margarito fight!. second, you have no clue what boxing
is all about after knowing that you believed everything you
saw on the 24/7 episode(you pro'lly believed also that
hatton was a whole lot better boxer under floyd sr.). and
lastly, and you better believe this, pacquiao is going to
beat the **** out of cotto but he's gonna show him mercy and
finish him off!

My Response: It’s hard for me to feel Puerto Rican pride
when I am not Puerto Rican. What am I suppose to take from
the 24/7 episodes? They are real life looks at both men
during training camp. Unless it’s scripted, I’m going to
believe what I see. He’s going to beat the **** out of
Cotto yet show him mercy? Let's get real here, this is
going to be a good fight but Miguel Cotto will be the
winner. You think Pacquiao is going to win and I respect
your opinion but why is it when I say Cotto will win you
act as if I spit in your mother's face?
Written by Molybdenum:
fair enough
author. But I have to agree on the 1st round KO. Yup Cotto
can take a beating and all, he has the tools to beat
Pacquiao. But it would all really boil down to how they
train theyre selves. Cotto's sparmates n trainer doesnt have
the tools to make Cotto 100% in the November 14 fight. Is
Cottos trainer even a boxer? Does his sparmates have enough
experience to improve him? I think it would be a Cinderella
story if ever Cotto wins the fight. I know hes visualy big,
strong n all but according to few people hes the underdog. I
do beleive he'd be going down on 3rd round or less. In terms
of PBF (I bow down), 3 years ago it was very far fetch'd
thinking a PBF Pacman would happen. Its like PAC fighting
with Heavyweights. And now??? Even though I would still go
for PAC against him, I think PBF is a great guy and a one of
the best fighters. Too much publicity ruins his name. Just
like PAC he doesnt say much, he always smile, he helps
people out of his own pockets and yet some People hates him.
Even my Mother hates him (hehehe I dont know why) and one of
my good friend wants him to lose (hehehe he doesnt hate him
but he wants him to lose). And a word of advice to boxing
fans (fans) dont go way over board dudes. I would die for my
family but not for PAC PBF JMM or any other boxer or any
other human rather than my family. (Someone near our town
died because of Pacquiao debate, now the other person is in
jail) hehehehe.. . WATCH the fight, be a FAN, RESPECT BOTH
FIGHTERS. DONT BE STUPID.

My Response: Now this is a boxing fan I can respect
because he respects other opinions. I’m not asking you to
agree with me when I say Miguel Cotto will win, all I’m
asking is you respect my opinion. Buster Douglas beating
Mike Tyson was a Cinderella story. Miguel Cotto beating
Manny Pacquiao is not. Anytime two respected world
champions meet in the ring it’s any man's fight. A 40-1
underdog winning is a Cinderella story, a 2-1, hell 5-1
underdog winning is a fighter doing what he was supposed
to do and that’s win. I love the sport of boxing so much
but I will never die for it or end in up prison for it. As
soon as a gun is pointed at me I’ll tell you whomever you
want me to tell you is going to win.

You're exactly
right rhey! some boxing fans are not really boxing fans they
ought to be. even some writers are not true boxing fans,
they just know how to write but they do not how to box,
fight somebody using their fists. a true boxing fans are the
ones who knew how to fight like trainers, coaches,and
boxers. is that what you mean tony? hey, tony will you
please give the CORRECT meaning of a boxing FAN! who will
watch the fight if there are no boxing fans all over the
world? YOU, ALONE? because you claimed that you're a boxing
fan and we're not. if i'm a cottofan you will consider me a
boxing fan? pity on this writer. i don't buy your ideas.
LIMITED MIND. As a writer please don't let your emotions
control your mind. Be open minded. Don't be biased. If
you're biased don't ever show or ever let the world or us
read what you wrote... they will just ask a fight from you.

My Response:
Let me make myself clear once again. I never said all
Pacquiao fans are not boxing fans. I said I’ve talked to a
lot of Pacman fans and they are not boxing fans, they are
Pacquiao fans just like there are Miguel Cotto, Floyd
Mayweather, Mike Tyson, etc., etc., who are not fans of
the sport but only of the fighter. Why do you feel I was
talking to you? Do you doubt yourself as a boxing fan?
Because I pick Cotto to win I am an idiot who knows
nothing about boxing? It’s great you are a Manny Pacquiao
fan but when you as upset as many of you have been because
I picked Cotto to win you stop being a fan, and start
becoming fanatical.

Oledor: Great Article Tony! At least with this article,
especially your Round 10.. I salute for that one.. Yup,
everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Now, it justified
your argument of your choice that Cotto is going to win the
fight on Nov 14. But my belief is otherwise on yours.. it
will be Manny who will K.O. Cotto. Take note, it will be
within Round 8. Manny is a BEAST BOXER than Margarito.
Cheers!!

My Response:
Now this is what I’m talking about. Here is someone who
disagrees with me, yet doesn’t call me stupid and not a
fan of boxing. Like I’ve said so many times if you have
picked Pacquiao to win that’s great and I respect that, I
just disagree with it and I've told you why I disagree
with it rather than be close minded.
Written by Jude:
You're such an idiot, Tony Montgomery. What a stupid
question. How can you say that Cotto is being overlooked
when Manny's camp keep saying that Cotto is strong and they
are not taking him lightly?
-
My Response: This is exactly what I’m talking about. The
title of the article I wrote was "Is Miguel Cotto being
overlooked?" Did you miss the question mark? It was a
question, not a statement, can you tell the difference? Is
he being overlooked? Well, when I see messages in boxing
forums that say Pacquiao will stop Cotto in one round,
Cotto can do nothing against Pacman, and who should Manny
fight after Cotto? I look at that as being overlooked. How
do YOU see it?

Regardless of
the result of his upcoming toss-up with Puerto Rico’s great
warrior Miguel Cotto, i will always be beaming with pride
for what Manny has achieved for himself and for the whole
Filipino nation. Now i have a great story to tell my
grandchildren when im already old and gray.And i can say to
them, “see that man in that faded picture? that’s the
Pacman! He was the King! and i lived during his reign.”
Mabuhay ka Manny!

My Response: I
agree with you Charlie, regardless of the outcome, Manny
Pacquiao will always be remembered for what he has done in
the ring. I’m not trying to take any of that away from
him. I have enjoyed Manny’s rise to the top. I just feel
Cotto will be the better man in the ring on the night they
meet. I don’t hate Manny Pacquiao or his people, I just
hate when people only want to read what they want to read
from my articles. You need to stop taking my words and
twisting them into what you want them to be.
