    Like Mayweather fighting at catchweights? He was against catchweights but he does the same.

    144 pounds against Marquez.

    152 pounds against Alvarez.

    Remember when Mayweather said,

    "I fight my opponents at their best weight"

    He didn't weigh 160ish fight night!!!

    Also, if the weight didn't effect Cotto then why did Roach push so adamamtly for an unusually late weighin Friday at 6:00 pm Pacific Time?


    I blame Cotto's ego and his rookie trainer making his dayview Jose Santiago !!!

    It was a very good win for Pac, the fight should have just been at 147 though. Those 2 extra lbs would have erased all doubts about the legitimacy of the win. Before anyone says it should have been higher than 147, remember that Cotto was WBO champ at 147 at the time.

    nope. just another fl()mo.

    now this fl()mo is lying. Cotto could barely make 147??? hahahaha Cotto was 146 when he fought Clottey.
    and Cotto said it himself.

    interview few weeks after the fight.

    MC: I felt really good at that weight. It wasn't a problem for me.

    weren't you booted out of TMT? hahaha
    stupid ass fl()mos

    oh and if you all forgot how Cotto looked that night.

    Very good win. But, maybe just shy of great, due to bringing him down in weight, and the fact Cotto was only a fight or two from that bludgeoning he got from brick hands, etc. It leaves a fair amount of room for criticism. Pacquiao's performance makes up for a lot of it, though.

    it's Pac's worst win IMHO

    I think Cotto was a setup for Pac due to the catchweight

    and...

    this was the time when Pac was at the height of his PED's usage :rofl:rofl:rofl
