    We only give credit to PAc for beating Marquez lol. Everyone else was either shot, past it, or beaten up and ripe for the picking. Pac's resume is over blown by his fans. He's been ko'd twice in 3 rounds, and made his name beating "past it" fighters...

    Pac can't go above 148/49. Cotto has the ability to bloat up to 160 on fight night. Technically that means you could have Cotto coming in on fight night with a 12 pound weight advantage. That's the danger for Pac in having it at 147. Fighting Mayweather at 147 would be fine as Mayweather comes in the same weight and doen't re-hydrate which is the way it should be.

    PAc has never fought anyone at a catchweight, stop bitching. This is the first fight that he will be fighting at a catchweight.

    Cotto's never weighed 160 on fight night.

    He comes in at 158 give or take a lb.

    Im not talking about Floyd fighting Pac at 147. Im not about Floyd fighting other WWs. Why dont I see you making the same post for Mayweather that you do for Pac?

    Floyd weighs less than Pac.

    They're meeting halfway to make the fight even. If pac fights cotto at 147 then he is on a disadvantage that's why a catchweight of 143-144 is fair.

    No it's not fair.

    Not when Cotto would kill himself to make that weight. His nutritionist said 145 is the lowest he can go and thats his limit.

    The reason its different is because Floyd weighs even less than Pacquaio.

    Floyd stated he was down to 146/147 already. That means he's going to add like 2-3lbs from 144. While Marquez said they are going to bulk from 140 (what he weighed)

    So they might even weigh the same on fight night.

    While Pac-Cottos weights are going to remain the same no matter if its at 145 or 147 even 143.
    The difference will be how much Cotto hurt himself draining all that weight.

    It's not a matter of doubting himself, it's a matter of balancing the situation. 147 is COTTO's domain, definitely the bigger man while PAC is still acclimatizing himself to 140. You want the fight where COTTO is of the edge instead of them meeting halfway. You really are on a mission for PAC's destruction. Obviously, you are not an objective fan of the sport! No matter how you rationalize things, your true color shows you are just a HATER . You have a grudge from previous loss betting against PACMAN. That's why you are a waste of time to discuss with. You and your ALTER EGO NALLEGE. :hat

    yeah, when there is a catchweight it means they really should not be fighting because one or the other cannot fight at the correct weight. If he cannot make 147 then he should fight at 140. If there is a catchweight, that means everytime that Pacman fights someone his opponent will be weakened by making weight.

    Boxing has way too many weight divisions already. Pac needs to pick one of them and fight at the weight of the division not some stupid catch weight crap. It is a joke and a farce and it cheapens the sport.
