    I doubt it is. He came in at 146 vs clottey so 145 is merely a trip to the toilet :)

    I dont want to hear that his weight is the reason why he lost (if he does). I really hope he can win though

    Go Cotto!

    24/7 said he was close to fighting weight - so he's doing pretty good so far. Do see weight being an issue for him.

    A friend of mine was at the open workout and was very impressed. He said Cotto looked focused and in shape. I wish that this fight was a true 147 pound fight, but at 145 it isn't that bad as he came in at 146 his last fight and is smart enough to take off the weight properly.

    Does it annoy you that its for the WBO and he's gotta come in at 145 when really 147 is fair cuz the belts on the line?

    Is there a WT limit on Pac aswell, Or only on Cotto?
    (I hope HBO does an "Unofficial" weigh in on fight night, would be interesting)

    Didn't think about that, would be bit cheeky is PAC came in at 147.

    Does Cotto tend to put on as much weight between the weigh in and the fights as other fighters?

    I remember when he was still fighting at 140 that on fight night he came at 154

    Freddy Roach should have been careful what to wish for because come fight night, he's going to find out he has got a lot more than he or Pacquiao bargained for!

    Cotto is focused, ready!

    Well if he comes in 14 pounds heavier like that he will be 159, which is apparently the fight night weight of Mayweather when he fought Marquez.

    Imagine what will happen if Manny gets hit with a 159 pound hook...
