    I read on another website that 2 important things they working out for the contract is a possible weight limit to Cotto's rehydration and of course the purse split!

    Thats bull if they do that. You can't limit a mans rehydration. Might as well have made Cotto come in at 142. Let the man weigh what he normally weighs and let the best man win.

    Yeah but Manny dehydrated more than JMM had to. Rehydration should be left alone. I hate that they are trying to limit Cotto's rehydration.

    No one bitched about it because JMM came in at 141 and Pac came in at 145. 145-141 < 9

    How time flies that people need to invent lies to suit their convenience. Pac NEVER outweight JMM by 9 lbs. Get your facts straight. For the SFW fight, Pac 144 lbs, JMM 140 lbs. 4 lbs. Official weight-in was Pac 129, JMM 130. I don't recall any fighter that Pac outweight significantly. Perhaps Solis during the time that he was having problems with the signing controversies since Solis was a natural FW.

    Good point man! It doesn't matter though I mean Cotto only weigh in at 146 for the Clottey fight. Losing 1 more pound is not gonna affect him.

    correct me if am wrong but let me enlighten your clouded mind anyways..

    roach said that he doesn't care if cotto wanted to weigh 200 lbs because he trust his fighters and they all have the final decision in which weight the fight will take place which means its not his decision to make, he only gives recommendations..

    now, does that still sound a double talk to you?

    get rid of the hate and it will clear your mind..

    Because they think tht Cotto will be too healthy at 147. In Roach's world, it's better to weaken a guy a bit, and then all Manny has to do is maybe lose a little and bulk up.[/quote]

    Yeah Cotto is going to be a walking zombie by losing 2 pounds. :patsch

    Cotto came into his last fight at 146 and looked strong and not 'weight drained' So he'll have to lose 1 pound.
