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

Most fighters fight 1 weight class below their normal weight to get an advantage in strenght at fight night. Cotto really could fight in Jr. Middle but chooses Welter to get an edge. I dont think 2 pounds will make a difference because of Cotto's age. If your talking about DLH age and cutting weight, thats a different story.

If Pac didnt fight DLH and fought Cotto first at 145 and bet posters here wont even cry about weight drain. DLH-Pac fight is stuck in their minds because it was a shock so their basing the weight drain issue from that fight. Just my 2 cents.

 

Yea cause we have all seen how 1lb is so easy to lose. :nut

What happened with Guzman vs Campbell?

or Campbell vs Funeka? 1lb is soooo easy huh?

 

You really cant base it on that, their not well prepared. Trying to lose 1 pound on the day of the weigh-in is hard.

 

So? They had A LOT of time to train to their weight they last fought. Cotto is going down in weight.


both should of at least been able to shed off 1 more lb.

 

going to fight 3 lbs off the limit?.that only shows the lack of discipline and unpreparedness of those fighters you mentioned which is unacceptable as a fighter..

and besides, why fight at a division where you struggle to make the weight limit?.just like i said, there are a lot of factors why a fighter cannot lose proper weight and you cannot compare a fighter who cannot loss a pound in an hour to the other who's been fighting at 147 to weight 145 in 4 months..

 

I easily can. They should be able to lose just 1lb right? While attempt to make their weight limit they could of gone down even lower right? Cause it's just 1lb, and 1lb is nothing right?



Go ahead and take the balls out of your mouth and realize the only thing i've ever argued is that this fight is taking place south of 147 for one reason and on reason only. To attempt to drain Cotto.


Why else is the fight taking place at lower than 147? To make sure Cotto doesn't come in at 158 come fight time? So him losing an extra lb of water weight is magically going to stop him from gaining all of this weight back? But rather stop him 3-5lbs short? atsch


1lb is a lot. Whether Cotto attempts to cut the water weight or lose a 1lb of muscle in training camp. Either way, its unhealthy.

Im not saying he's going to be drained, but when you are pushing your limits, who's to say he wont?

 

your assumptions make me puke and your stupidity is all over the place and very contagious so am done with you..:bart

 

Like i said, cutting weight at the day of the WEIGH-IN is hard. The fighters you were reffering to dont have discipline and cant blame anyone else but their camp. If you are well prepared losing a pound wont make a difference.

Was Cotto look Weight Drained at 146? They were fighting at 147, if Cotto knew he will be fighting at 145, you think 1 pound would make him weaker? Get a scale and tell me if 1 pound is ALOT. A banana is a pound.

 

Oh look. You can't respond to anything I say but rather reply with an insult.


Good Job.

Go ahead and put Pac's balls in your mouth and move along. You're done here.

 

And like I said. These fighters had plenty of time time to back to the same weight they were fighting at. Cotto is going down in weight. And there's no difference, each fighter had a lot of time to prepare themselves to make weight.

Cotto looks unhealthy when he weighs in. And straining himself even further is not good.

His nutritionist said 144-145 was the limit. So he's clearly on the edge.

1lb is a lot. It can be make or break. If he decides to lose muscle mass during camp, that's unhealthy, or if cutting that extra water weight hurts him, then what?


Explain to me, why is this fight taking place at 145 and not 147?

Do you believe this "1lb" that is nothing according to you guys. Is going to magically stop Cotto from weighing in at 158-159 come fight time?

So this "1lb" of waterweight is going to have Cotto come in on fight night at 154 instead of 158? :nut

 

you think your stupid posts worthy of an intellectual response?.fat ass clown posters like you doesn't deserve a serious one..:rofl

 

You can't respond with an intelligent reply, that's why you resort to responses like this.


you can't even answer me why this fight is taking place at 145 instead of 147.



Like I said, move along, you're done here.

 

LOL.... Long time reader and just signed up... Guidokz and eze: I always see you guys go at it. Fun to read you guys back and forth smackdown. Gets boredom out at work. Peace.

 

Well he was cutting to 138 only 3 years ago and usually weighs in at 146 anyway. You can cleary see Cotto struggled to make 140 but hes not a big Welterweight and his body isnt like a Shane Mosley that has like 5 percent body fat and would ruin him just losing 3-4 extra pounds. Cotto has to get to 145 that might cause him to do alittle extra work in the sauna room but its nothing he cant overcome in the 24 hours of rehydration. If this fight was 143 or 142 then yeah he would have problems buts not. If Cotto loses its because Pacquiao is a better fighter. Cotto is 28 and hes not shot hell he just beat a damn good fighter in Clottey and 1 extra pound wont break him. Any excuses by Cotto fans will be uncalled for.

 

No one is saying it will or it won't. His nutritionist said that 144-145 was the limit. And if that's the limit you are pushing it by going to 145.

I don't think anyone has stated that Cotto is going to drained. Everyone, including myself has argued that the only reason this fight is happening at 145 is to drain Cotto.
