    You can't answer the question, because you are wrong. Cotto was the champion at 147 pounds, which is welterweight.

    You assert that Pac fought Cotto in Cotto's division, which is a lie. Pac fought Cotto at 145.

    So you agree that a prime Cotto was pre-Margarito? So with your logic Pac and Mayweather fought a past his prime Cotto? Or that rule doesnt apply to Floyd?

    Floyd fought the healthy version of Cotto-Fact.. Even Freddie Roach talked about how he dodged Mosley and fought a damaged Cotto..

    And even if Cotto fought Margarito at a catch weight,he didn't steal world titles from weakened fighters and cheat his way into the history books..

    Yes Prime Cotto was before Margarito,that still does NOT change the fact Floyd fought a better version of Cotto..

    Cotto after Margarito too,had a trainer,confidence and was not drained huge difference.. You might not want to admit it,but true boxing fans can see past all that..

    Pac is willing to go up to 150 and fight Cotto now when he wasn't a year ago.. What's changed? Has Pac grown? I thought he had to be force fed to stay at 147? If he's not grown, why the willingness to take the added risk now after Cotto got beat by Mayweather in his last fight?

    Cash out time! He should just take the big check against Floyd and call it a day..

    He fights a fighter that hasn't come off a bad bad loss (Bradley) and he loses on the scorecards. :lol:

    it's the WW FFS! the same division ortiz-berto, floyd-marquez and chavez-sweet pea happened.

    so i turn the question back to you, what division did cotto fought margarito a second time?

    Who ****ing cares if Cotto is hypocritical? Two wrongs don't make a right. Pac has no damn business rematching Cotto when he's already got a convincing win over him. Not only that, but Cotto is coming off a loss. You'd think Pac would want to KO Bradley (it would be easy since Pac "dominated" him the first time, right?). But that isn't the case. And it makes no sense.

    If Pac desperately wants to make a lot of money, even more so than he would earn fighting Cotto, then he should've taken that ****ing $40 mil payday Floyd offered. You can't have it both ways. Is Pac fighting for legacy or money? Which is it? Beating Cotto again surely isn't going to enhance his legacy. The excuses Pac fans make are pure garbage. No credibility at all.

    That is part of it,him being drained is why Pac won and knocked him down.. :think:lol::lol:

    I give Pac credit though for cherry picking the fight at the right time at a catch weight,great strategy on his part..

    :lol:

    so cotto suddenly was less damged 3 years later after some beating from pac?

    also cotto was at WW that time. accepted the 145 catchweight going down a pound from his previous 146 aganst clottey while pac moving up from JWW just weighing 138 previously against hatton. pac moving 7 pounds while cotto moving down 1 pound seems like a good deal for cotto who said that the weight is nothing even after the fight.

    also cotto didn't steal world titles at cacthweight but he defended one on it. :patsch
