    So why would Pac fight De la Hoya at 147 but not Cotto or Mosely. Can anyone please give me a real reason as to why this is? The only one I can come up with is because Roach knew at 37 years old and at 147 for the first time in 9 years De la Hoya was shot and couldn't make this weight with out being weight drained.
    If Pac was so great in that fight why couldn't he duplicate it against the likes of Mosely and Cotto. Roach openly states he wants Cotto and Mosely to come down so they can struggle with weight but nobody has a problem with this? Yeah we will fight them just let them struggle with making weight first.:patsch
    Now I wouldn't have a problem with the catch weight if Pac's nut huggers wouldn't act like De la Hoya was some world beater that night. Everyone knows De La Hoya wasn't right but still want to give Pac creidt like this win was great even though Pac's trainer himself not me called Oscar shot. :huh

    hmm says... you have some validity but you need to stfu... old news bro..way to bring it back up for like the 4th or so countless times.. like you were able to foretell the future.. many experts were proven wrong regardless.... Cotto and Mosley at 147 ain't no DLH. getting that vibe and with your previous posts that you do nothing but try to discredit pac....

    Oscar was 35, a huge favorite and had all the size advantages ANY past it fighter would dream of going into a fight as big as that. Only an ******* would try to make that win look bad when the entire boxing world laughed and insulted Pacman for taking this fight thinking he's greedy and wants to collect big money, lose and leave.

    Exactly....Cotto only has to come down 1lb to fight Manny but ppl will still say he was weight drained if Manny wins

    The truth is Oscar was past his prime, likely shot, and was without a doubt weight drained.

    ANYONE who denies that is a complete moron, NO EXCEPTIONS.

    Exactly, Cotto cannot come in where he is MOST comfotable, he needs to be put in a disadvanatge, wether it's two punds or one, it doesn't matter.

    Also, this catchweight bull**** tarnished Pac's win over DLH's even more because IT JUST FURTHER PROVED Pac beat a DLH who was a shell of himself.

    And who's fault would that be. Manny could have avoided any excuses by simply fighting at the right weight instead he chose to ***** over 1 pound according to you. What does that say about Manny.

    I know it was for the pay day but all I am saying is don't act like that win was so big if you can't fight other people at the same weight. You want to fight Cotto for Cotto belt stop being a ***** and fight at the weight limit.

    Fighting at higher weight(even 145) puts Manny in a disadvantage...he was fighting at 130lb just a year ago but he good enough to fight these bigger guys at catchweights to even the playing field....Roach said DLH was shot and would be weight drained for the fight thats why they didnt mind fighting at 147...Cotto is a WW still in his prime and Pac is a JWW so why not meet in the middle
