    I could say he cut from 160 even. Principal still applys. Cotto would weigh in on fight night at 160 for his junior WW fights.

    I used to wrestle in high school i know the effects of cutting weight very clearly.

    In the sense of rehydrating 10lbs overnight, like most top fighers

    Im just saying Pac wasn't the only one draining himself when the ATGs were fighting each other.

    You don't ask for a catchweight unless you believe it's to your advantage.

    :huh In your opinion, pac saying Margarito hurt him is insincere and a lie, but Morales saying he was drained is legit? Morales has looked soft pretty much since every fight over his 130 career. Perhaps he had trouble makling weight, maybe that was on him. But her sertainly didn't look like others who get drained and move up. Of course, it's different for each fighter.

    BTW, did you know Morales moved to 135 in an attempt to get a 4th division title? I believe his motivation for that was to be the first 4 division mecixan titlist. A little incentive to move up, ya think?

    thats why all of this 'pac is such a little guy' nonsense needs to stop. he was just a big weight cutter like most fighters. he was beating up on little guys at the lower weights.

    now pac actually has to give up some size and hes suddenly henry armstrong :nut:nut

    No problem with that. My point was, you can't base your success on draining over 7 divisions.

    they were even negotiating for a lightweight bout but pac wouldnt cave in. not pacs fault, but morales drained himself.

    morales moved to lightweight before that and got ****in smoked

    No, it doesn't apply because the fuss is, Pac forced Cotto to cut so much weight, it drained him. We don't even have an indicator HOW much weight Cotto cut. So it's all a guess.

    Bottom line is, you can't say Pac forced Cotto to cut too much weight because how much weight isn't even known.

    Why you quoted me with this reply doesn't add anything to the discussion. I am aware he moved up, it's in my post.

    *****s - kindly remove Floyds testicles from your mouths and accept that Bradley is better than any win Floyd has had in years.

    youre acting like morales moved up purely for incentive....hed already moved up to lw for a non title fight because he was struggling to get to 130

    :huh I never said PURELY for incentive. I simply said that distinction was one thing he was after. And that he looked soft, which he did.

    Raheem was his first at 135. What non title fight are we talking about?
