Cotto has said he was fine at the weight, and nothing that happened in the fight wasn't anything we hadn't saw from a healthy Cotto? What the hell is the problem?
Cotto may or may not have been weakened, maybe he was being a good sport saying that or maybe he just wasn't weakened. Roach obviously put it there to weaken Cotto though The fact that Popkins can't get it through his ******ed skull that 1-2lbs of weight loss could kill a drained man nevermind weakening him shows his immense bias to Pacquaio. There's always a point where 1lb more is 1lb too much
You are truly justifying your legendary ****** status on ESB. Cotto going through a 10-week training camp to weigh in at 145 did not substantially weaken him as compared to going through a 10-week training camp to weigh in at 146. The very idea is ****ing ludicrous. Either sober up or die.
Popkins you clearly know nothing about weight making and have never had to make weight, your ignorance is beyond belief. You've been owned time and again on this topic on your own thread and now you try to sneak the topic in here after you've been categorically owned on it by plenty of posters more knowledgable than yourself - ie practically anyone who posted on the thread Roach made it a catch weight with the sole purpose of weakening Cotto. But obviously you know more than Roach, right. Cotto himself was going to pull out of the fight when it was proposed at 144/143 because he couldn't make that weight. Cotto is naturally a 160lb man when lean, thats what he weighs in the ring. He starves and dehydrates himself to make 147. So he's drained at 147 anyway but having the fight at 145 drains COtto even more than usual. When he weighed 146, he didn't have to weigh 146, so he could stay at 147 for a few days, when he weighed 145 he had to keep his weight down to 145 for a period to ensure he'd make weight. Now Pacquaio would dominate Cotto at any weight, as I predicted before hand, but the fact remains Cotto isn't as strong when he drains himself further Not that you'll pay any attention to any of this because you're a biased little ******* ****wit and even if you were objective you wouldn't be smart enough to understand it. I'm suprised you're figured out how to turn your PC on, maybe someone does it for you
