    Cotto camp refuses to bare Cotto's weight.

    http://sports.inquirer.net/professi...234270/Cotto-camp-refuses-to-bare-pugs-weight

    By refusing to reveal his current weight, is Cotto pulling a fast one on Pac? Will he do a Floyd violating the contracted weight of 145? Although Roach said Cotto can come at any weight, I believe this is tantamount to cheating on Cotto's part if he comes over the limit of 145.

    Another issue is: Is Cotto having a hard time going down in weight? If you look at his recent photos, Cotto looks like he's weighing around 160 lbs.

    Are we hearing another convenient excuse the for Pac haters that Cotto got dehydrated in the event that he lose?

    didnt roach say over 147 for cotto = no fight?? anyways, i can't see cotto ****ing this up. he seems like a solid guy. if he says he'll be 145 then i take him at his word. if he came in at 146 v. clottey...then he should be fine. but you are right, it is kinda odd. maybe trying provide another reason for people to talk about the fight given what happened w/ pbf prior to his last weigh in??

    The question is why are they keeping Cotto's weight less than two weeks before the fight. This is strange. Floyd made a precedent on this. This is not good for boxing.

    If ever Pac wins this fight despite Cotto's violation, he should be given the biggest props in boxing history.

    I don't see the big deal, if he's hiding his weight so what. You will find out during weigh-ins. If he's over he pays a fine, if he's over 147 no fight.

    I thought I heard reports that Cotto was at around 150 :huh anyways, in the 24/7 they also said he was close to the weight so I guess will just have to wait and see.

    He'll come in at 147 and gain the early mental edge in this matchup.

    The photos show otherwise. He must be around 160.

    What? We should hate him like Floyd then if he comes at this weight. That's practically cheating.
