Super star from Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto sold out Madison Square Garden last December when he executed a sweet revenge on bitter rival, Antonio Margarito.
Miguel Cotto claimed all the way leading up to the rematch that Margarito fought with loaded gloves in their first meeting in 2008 and his decisive victory was proof enough for him that Antonio Margarito was a cheater. So when Floyd Mayweather asked Miguel to submit to Olympic style drug testing leading up to their May 5th showdown in Las Vegas, WBA super welterweight champion could not be happier to oblige.
“If sports is something about skills, conditioning, preparation and you have to be clear , all over in all the sports and if you can contribute to make the sport better, more clear I am not mad with that, ” said Cotto,31:”I agree with that because I am sportsman and all I want is a clear sport. Sport that people can trust. People can sit at their homes and watch real fighters without using anything.” Advertisement
“It’s the same system I used for the Olympics in 2000,” continued Cotto(37-2,30KO’S):”Four , six , eight times through the camp. This isn’t going to take anything out from you.”
Agreed weight for the fight is 154 pounds, a super welterweight limit. Floyd Mayweather asked for that as well.
“He said yesterday at the face off, he doesn’t want anything to make excuses, ” explained Cotto about his opponent:”Talking about a situation when I fought Pacquiao back in 2009 at a catch weight of 145 pounds. I felt I made my weight pretty good, but those two pounds can take a lot from you.He wanted to be as clear as drug test, as clear as boxing condition, to be at the top of the division at 154 pounds, he wants to fight at this weight for this belt.”
As always, unbeaten in forty two fights, American super star, Floyd Mayweather got everything he wanted. What does Miguel Cotto want?
“All that I want to let you know is that I don’t want to stop training hard for this fight and I don’t want to stop until I find a tool to beat Mayweather ,said Cotto: “I Know what I have to do, just train hard and do my work the best I can and on May 5th I am going to prove.”
