Cotto weighed in@146 v Clottey - would TWO lbs less make him a walking corpse?

    Not saying it will happen or it won't happen, but IF IF IF somehow Pac knocks out Cotto easily and decisively, Coach Roach and Team Pac will be kicking themselves for making this fight at 145. For the rest of their lives, they'll be left to wonder, "what if" and "if only".

    pac met delahoya at 147. pac comes from 135 while oscar comes from 150 (151 actually) in his fight with forbes.

    pac and cotto will meet at 145 because pac comes from 140 (138 actually) int the hatton fight while cotto comes from 147 (146 actually) in the clottey fight.

    it doesn't matter where they come from, you tell me why it was ok for him to meet oscar at 147 and not cotto, a much smaller man

    if 1 pound is a lot, how about the 9 pounds that jmm is suppose to go up when he fights floyd?

    that's what i've heard from someone who called him a stalker, which proves likely to be true based on his weight dreams and wishes..:roll:

    it does matter because that was the reference of their previous fights. pac-oscar was a fight between two different sized fighters so a catchweight was necessary. and so was cotto-pac so a catchweight is also necessary. oscar is bigger than cotto so a fight at 147 seemed reasonable. if pac will fight cotto at 147, then team pac are acknowledging that it doesn't matter to them that cotto is bigger. but of course they know the real score and are trying to make the size difference as little as possible by asking cotto to also have a weight concession.

    besides, as a cotto fan, how much credit would you give cotto for beating a jr welter in pac? by making this at catchweight, cotto would get as much credit because the size difference between them will not be as huge if the fight happened at 147.

    exactly..

    people picking on pacquiao alone is unfair, this fight is also for cottos legathy isn't it and what credit will he get for beating a JWW?.

    100% JWW vs 100% WW = (

    vs 100% WW) now does it look fair?.

    i would give either all the credit in the world if the fight was at 147, but since now it's at a lower weight, pac kind of takes the black eye here....listen, when you move up in weight you test yourself a bit...pac manned up and didnt take a test, he took right on delahoya and humiliated him....that was his welcome to 147 party, now with a much smaller man he wants him to be dehydrated so that he can hold the advantages...if cotto is too big for pac at 147, then take yo ass back down to 135-140 and finish what you started (jmm)

    besides, i thought 2 pounds didnt mean nothing....

    It goes both ways. Why would 2 more pounds be an issue for the great Pac man

    exactly...

    OSCAR HITS HARDER
    BETTER CHIN
    FASTER

    yet 147 is cool

    but with cotto, they also wanna drain his ass so they can hold the same advantages...i dont even know why we're arguing, FREDDY ROACH ALREADY SAID THEY WANT EVERY ADVANTAGE THEY CAN GET....THEREFORE NOT MAKING THIS A REALLY FAIR FIGHT....YOU *******S WANNA BLAME SOMEBODY, BLAME FREDDY FOR OPENING UP HIS MOUTH....

    this kind of fights are of epic proportions and happens only once in a blue moon, anybody who doesn't want to see this kind of battles are either a hater or a hypocrite..
