Let's say pac beats cotto @ 145 and...

I will.

 

not really....
I think that to be a champ at a certain weight you have to fight the guys at that weight, not 2 or 3 pounds less.

Not trying to take anything from pac, the guy is great for boxing.

 

145lb is perfectly at the WW weight ... 138-139 lb would
be 2 o 3 pounds less than WW limit.

Do you wanna say that Cotto won his title ILLEGALY because his weight
was 146lb and was not AT the proper weight of 147lb atschatschatsch :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

If he fight's for Cotto's strap and win's he will be.

 

147 - 145 = 2

People fight for welter belts weighing in at 145. When you're in a division, you're not supposed under that limit, not right at it. It would be a shame if the belt was on the line.

 

Dog Im with you on this one I tried to explain this on a thread yesterday and they keep complaining that this fight at the welterweight limit but clearly its not since Cotto cannot come in at 146 or 147. This fight is a catch weight dream fight not a championship fight!

 

If that's the case, welter must be strictly 147? anything beside that should not be considered welter?

 

agreed:good

 

Catchweight is the keyword

 

I'd be interested to see if he would defend the title vs Mosley, Williams, Clottey or even Margarito.

 

Though it's a catchweight, still it's welter.

 

Loool that made me laugh man. I agree with you, if the champion cannot come in at limit (147) it shouldn't be a title fight. It's as simple as that, I dont see why people argue this.

 

Cotto's opponent wasn't forced to fight at any weight below 147. That is the KEY difference.
