    If it's nothing they won't make a big deal about it.

    well we will have wait and see, and i cant wait, for some reason I am just as confident as you are

    but that Cotto will win the fight if it is made.

    i am not predicting a KO although it is a distinct possibility

    i would rather see cotto mosley 2, but this is gonna be a hell of a fight. i would love to see cotto in more welterweight wars rather than risking another loss to fight at a catchweight against pac.

    If you were Pac you would not ask to fight Cotto before Cotto beating Clottey, would not you?

    Glass is either half filled or half empty. Cotto is going to cement his legacy by beating a fighter who moved up from 112 or Pacquiao making history by fighting a natural 147lb moving down to 144lb. Numbers-wise, 2-3 pounds? i think its more than fair.

    Personally, I would like pac to fight miguel angel at 147 but team pacquiao said earlier that they want it at 142-144 while cotto said he won't go below 145. Pacquiao became interested with cotto after having a nice reception from nuyoricans and watching the cotto-clottey war. I think he's still has something to say regarding the weight issue so let's all just wait cause we'll all have an answer in a few days time.

    I don't believe anyone is really complaining.

    My only objection will be a catchweight of 143-144. I'd prefer it happens at 147.

    145 is fair to both sides.

    They are bitching about catch weights when nothing has been mentioned about it yet.

    So you think losing 3 more pounds is nothing huh? It's a peace of cake right? Yea i find that funny cause weaks ago Cotto even said that he will risk his body badly if he fights Manny at 144 pounds. And for god sake weeks before the fight vs Clottey, IT WAS REPORTED THAT COTTO WAS ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE MAKING 147 POUNDS. So if he's already having trouble making 147 pounds, how in the world that losing 3 more pounds is more then fair?

    I prefar it happens at 147 pounds as well. Pacquiao can still weight 144 or 142 pounds in the weigh in so whats the problem?

    You can't see the problem? pac would be weighing 148 while cotto would be weighing 160 during fight time. That's the problem. LOL
