Why was Cotto so much easier for Pacquiao than he was for Mayweather?

    pac fought a version of cotto that had been recently stopped by a plaster wearing margarito. we know about he catchweight...but let's not forget that cotto DID NOT HAVE A REAL TRAINER in that fight. so he was making mistakes that were not being corrected.

    now...he's at a better weight...he has a world class trainer....and he was a few years removed from his ko loss. i believe floyd faced a much better version of cotto than what pac faced. this cotto stops pac.

    fvck Pac for draining Cotto! losing a pound or 2 makes a difference. check out Floyd not honoring the CW fight against JMM. i mean, Floyd comes in at 147 man. if he drops at 146, 145, 144.., Floyd would've been drained and the result would've been different. because again, like many Floyd fan says, losing 1 pound makes a difference.

    Dude you've repeated this like 5 times, where do you get this from? He fought a non welter (not ranked at least) in Oscar, who else? You mean, Pac had fought twice above 135?

    If Cotto was better in the Floyd fight it doesn't have that much to do with the different weight class as it has to do with Pedro Diaz preparing Cotto physically, mentally and technically a lot better than Cotto's idiot uncle.

    I'm very skeptical that Floyd is coming at 147 for his WW and above fights. If you chose to believe him it is ok for me.

    Why did Pac go cross-eyed when he got knocked out?

    its not like Cotto did not agree, he agreed to the catch weight and Both Cotto and pac honored that contract...

    its an entirely different story when you agree to a catchweight have a guy move up two divisions and deliberately fail to make the weight Nobody talks about that....

    Bottom line here is simple, you can talk all the **** you want about catch weights but as long as the fighters agree, what do you really have? an empty hater like argument.

    But when you have a fighter who agrees to make a specific weight especially when a guy is moving up two divisions you have an obligation to make that weight, I know I know the next ***** type response is he paid Marquez... your right he did but is that the ****ing point?

    you want to talk **** about catch weights lets talk about catchweights one fighter honors that limit the other doesnt for a specific advantage.

    Anyhow the boy looked old in alot of spots, sure you all say brilliant sure your all sitting on his dick and pedaling his balls, but the man isnt using his legs these days for a reason he is 35.

    The fight was closer than the score cards show, Cotto won 4 maybe five rounds in my eyes and Floyd got too much credit for looping right hands that were clearly blocked.

    Anyhow from the 6th on Floyd looked like he couldnt keep up the pace, so when you have a guy like Manny who wont stop throwing who doesnt fade in fights, you really think this is an easy fight for Floyd?

    Ask yourself this we have moved from Take the test to please take less, and Manny has a right to PPV revenue as he carried the sport and fought everybody Floyd was supposed to while Floyd got cold feet and retired.

    so if the fight doesnt happen its not on Mannys hands nor Arums, Floyd is going to have to learn how to conduct business like a grown up if you really want this fight, you are going to have to work around the politics of the sport if your not you are guilty as well that simple....

    Because Pac drained him and Cotto didn't have a corner.

    This. Cotto claims he could not eat for 2 1/2 days before the weigh in...that will have an effect.

    Easy to pick on *******s in this forum.:good Pejevan is very easy to pick on.
