    which also gives the wbo the option of declaring the belt vacant should cotto lose, as the fight is taking place over 12 rounds and within the ww limit.

    hmmm fighting for the welterweight belt... doesn't that mean fighting for a belt were either fighter can come into scales weighing up to 147 pounds if they choose???

    Seems pretty self-explanatory as to why it wouldnt and shouldnt be on the line. You pac dick suckers can insult me or w/e. Too bad you cant insult real logic. :rofl

    Dont worry, we can make pac the new "catchweight" champion :deal

    Btw can anyone remind me of a time when floyd asked for a catchweight?:yep

    it doesn't because at the end of the day thats only a label, and how good he is is determined by what he does in the ring.

    Its within the limit. But the rules says up to 147lbs. If they are going to limit Cotto to 145lbs, then those are not welterweight rules.

    147 is the LIMIT. Get it???

    SO as long as there are below 147, the belt can be on the line.

    145 is a contractual thing. Not related to the belt. Of course, Cotto's team may have asked for the belt not being on the line. Its all about contract. They COULD have fought for the belt even with a 145 (contractual) weight limit.

    The weight of 145lb, along with the brand of gloves, the color of shoe laces,
    the advertisements on the trunks and the water brands they spit in
    corner during the break are part of their private agreements.

    Uh perhaps the middleweight title wasn't on the line becasue it was fought at super middleweight. The middleweight belt shouldnt' change hands in a fight fought at 165.

    Of course it is in the welterweight limit, and of course the belt can be up for grabs, however I don't blame Cotto for not putting the belt on line when he can't fully take advantage of the weight division.
