    why doesnt he want to fight Cotto @ his natural weight? for the people claiming Manny is "too small", its not like Manny HAS TO weigh in @ 154. he can weigh in to where he is comfortable like he always does. Floyd did it, why cant he?

    why does he want to put Cotto @ a disadvantage so badly?

    He went up to 154 and was almost KD'ed by a Margarito bodyshot. I think they realized 154lbs was too much after that fight. Still think it's absurd to be chasing Cotto when he has unfinished business with Mayweather, Marquez and Bradley. I don't see him sticking around too much longer at the elite level.

    is just a mind game that the *******s use so cotto will have to focus on making weight and to prepare for the fight at the same time witch means he wont be able to focus on just the game plan but also in the weight..

    freddy joke roach said it him self

    so you're saying Cotto, a guy that he cearly beat, would be too much for him @ 154? thats pretty much saying that a 145 Cotto made huge difference in the first fight.

    I don't know honestly what Cotto would do to him at this stage, but I know they want no part of him as a full-fledged JMW. Add that to the fact the guy who faced Cotto 3 years ago is not the same one that stepped in the ring against Bradley.

    Come on now, you know Manny has no opinion on this. As a matter of fact he has no opinion on nothing in his life...
