Miguel Cotto: ?The trash talking doesn?t matter because the only way he can beat me is with his skills. He doesn?t doesn?t have skills, he?s just a brawler and I?m prepared for anything he can bring. We?re pretty sure we will beat him no matter what. We?re going to capitalize on a lot of his mistakes and I know he?s going to make mistakes in this fight.?
Emanuel Steward: ?Nobody has had an easy fight with Mayorga. It?s always been a difficult fight until the end when he was exhausted. It could be difficult. But I feel that the way Miguel has been looking in training and with his shoulder healed that he will put on an excellent performance. I don?t see this fight going four rounds.?
Don King: ?I think Ricardo will knockout Cotto. Case closed. He?ll do what he has to do because he wants Pacquiao.?
Ricardo Mayorga: ?This is the fight where I impose my will so much that if I don?t beat Cotto by knockout and I beat him by decision, I don?t feel like I deserve a fight with Pacquiao?..(Miguel Cotto and Emanuel Steward) are both clowns and failures. After this fight I will prove that they are both failures. That?s all I have to say.?
