    Where should i begin.... Freddie Roach stated that he wants Miguel Cotto to drop down to 143 to fight Pacquaio and thats the only weight that the fight will take place....:-( Freddie Roach needs to understand If he wants Pacquaio to be rememebered as a great,he needs to fight fighters at their best,which is at 147,**** the catchweight!!! Manny needs to beat these fighters at their best,not drained!!! To me,Freddie wants Manny to have an advantage,thats how i feel and im sorry to say it even if Manny does manage to beat Floyd,Mosley and Cotto at a catch weight,i just cant see myself giving him any credit becuz he didnt beat them at their best becuz nobody wants to see Manny at a 100% fighting Miguel,Shane,Floyd when they 60%,whats Manny proving to us if he does that?? that he can beat a drained fighter?? he does not need to prove that again,he already proved that against Delahoya....freddie and Manny need to both suck it up and go up to 147 and make history and then and only then will Manny legacy will be sealed.

    If pac is that great, then he needs to prove himself by taking the Henry Armstrong route.

    I dont think he has it in him.

    Only idiots will question it, the guy is a true great and he never forced those guys to move in weight if they want to fight him. They want the fight and if they accept it then that's THEIR decision, Pacquiao never forced them. Just say you can't make it and lets move on rather than add complications. Pac isn't even supposed to be at 140 let alone 147. If you guys can't see what this little guy is doing then you guys have major issues.

    Utter bull****.

    If he can beat Mosley or Floyd at any weight, it would be impressive.

    The fact remains, Pacquiao is the hot commodity right now. HE'S THE ONE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. There can be no questioning this fact.

    **** Cotto, then. If he don't want the fight at 143, I'm sure Mosley would be more than happy to oblige him.

    I am with you 100%, Scar.

    People seem to be forgetting which fighters is causing an uproar of excitement. It ain't Cotto, and it ain't Floyd. To a lesser extent, it's Mosley, but the one who is the clear draw at the moment is Pacquiao, and rightly so.

    Pacquiao is the one in control and nobody is forcing anyone to fight him.

    I, for one, hope he does wind up fighting Mosley and I don't give a flying **** if it's at 143, 144, or whatever.

    I want to see two of the best fighters do battle.

    c'mon.. pacquiao starts his carreer at 106lbs.. give him a chance.. dont force him at 147lbs.. he fought DLH becuz he is at 150+lbs and sometimes 160 at that time so they meet at 147lbs.. and cotto is only at 147lbs! he can go down at 143..

    Pac is the man right now and Cotto should only fight Manny at 140 or **** off. 143 is being generous to Cotto. Manny does not need Cotto, if he don't agree to the weight then Manny can tell him to **** off and wait for Floyd.

    Manny doesn't need Cotto , Floyd doesn't need Cotto.

    Or...

    He can still risk it all by fighting Mosley instead,. and proving to the world that he is a warrior.
