Good for Cotto stand up for yourself this time. 150 doesn't sound to bad though as long as its not for a belt and Cotto feels he can comfortably make 150. If not then so be it.
Cotto is only standing up for himself because PAC + 8oz gloves and cotto is getting destroyed again. 154lb 10oz pillow gloves cotto makes the distance. But this fight ain't about cottos belts @ 154. It a crap fight anyway. Bring on Bradley I say.
Cotto vs Pac @ 150 or nothing. I think Pacquiao is running out of options and catchweights for that matter.
Cotto is a jrmw jrmw = 148 - 154 They should be allowed to be anywhere within the jrmw range whether the same weight or not.
Didn't the article also say that weight wasn't an issue when the fight was discussed with Mayweathers people? I could see Floyd letting the fight be at 154lb because Cotto will end up coming into to the ring about 150/151lbs anyway and Floyd would be 148-149lbs.
I think Pac should fight Cotto around 150 or above. Unlike Margarito, Cotto is not a huge Jr. Middleweight; he is actually a pretty small one. Cotto will not come in as heavy as Margo was when he faced Pacquio. Personally, I would much rather see Floyd vs. Cotto @ 154 for the title.
Glad to see people getting sick of this weight drain game bull****. Just fight straight up with no stipulations. No excuses at that point from either side.
Will the money team get hit with the drain game if they fight Cottoe at 147? What would be the difference?
