And THAT is why Pacquiao wouldn't fight Cotto at 154.

    Seeing how well Cotto did, he looked full strength, years younger, fast, with a great corner and a great gameplan. He is a force at 154.


    Come at me.

    His stamina was the best I seen. He usually gasses around 8 and all the pushing and wrestling was more/different than the usual Cotto. If he was that strong and physical with Pacquiao he still would of lost but he would of did a lot of damage and possibly got a body shot knockdown. This fight has no bearing on a May/Pac fight and if it does... Floyd beat a bigger Cotto and Pac got worked by a lightweight jumping two weight classes..

    Wouldn't matter which is why they tried to drain him back down for the rematch?
     
  6. When are people going to understand that Pacquiao is the smallest welterweight in the game? In fact, most junior welterweights are bigger than Pacquiao on fight night.

    No, it's more like Pac can't make that weight. Pacregularly weighs in sub 145 for his welterweight fights....fighting Cotto at 154 would be giving himself an even bigger handicap. Now Pac has consistently overcame his size handicaps, but ****...why give the other guy that even bigger benefit?

    No you ****in idiot it was because he had a brutal fight with margarito at 150, after that fight they said pac would never go past 147 again. He clearly has no business at 154.:patsch

    Why would he fight him at 154 when neither had ever fought there before? 147 would have made for a more appropiate thread.

    & that is why Pacquiao fought Margarito @ a catch...
    Why Miguel fought him @ a catch...
    Same reason Mariano Rivera is out for the season cause he was playing catch...

    "Catch me if you can" an ok flick...
    Use a condom or you might catch something...

    They actually sought the Cotto rematch before picking Bradley, but would have "probably" only done it at another catchweight for Cotto's belt.
