    But to be honest, im sick of hearing fighters say this...

    "oh i almost passed out making the weight here" "i was weak because of weight"

    alright alright alright

    Well how bout you fight at the weight class you should be fighting at then? Why do fighters think that squeezing down into a class they shouldnt be at is some sort of an excuse?


    Clottey vs Williams
    Clottey vs Margarito rematch
    Clottey vs Kirkland
    Clottey vs Cintron
    Clottey vs Quintana
    Clottey vs Angulo
    Clottey vs Foreman

    are all decent sized fights that could be fought at the weightclass above welter after this fight, so i dont have to hear this 'im drained' talk anymore...

    which is why this move up to 154 is only a sign of bad things

    so u say cotto is 2-3 inches shorter so how the hell is he 1 inch taller than clottey on that pic if he's just wearing "shoes" lol

    cotto was taking fetish tips from oscar and wore high stelleto heels at weigh in???

    come on man he may be on shoes and clottey on barefeet, that still dont explain your 2-3 inches shorter theory,.

    hahaha well don't always beleive the stats cus they state them differently on many sites judging by the real photos u know there aint 2-3 inches different. boxrec has clottey at 5'8"

    anyway theres no point debating about it. i see we wont ever agree on this. but next time check where u get yr pics from lol

    There's no point in posting pictures unless they are head to toe shots of two guys in bare feet standing back to back. Angles and posture and shoes make too much difference. Pictures would have you believe that Floyd and Marquez were the same height. Or that Cotto is only an inch or so shorter than Margarito

    Like you said, it's obviously pointless, but rest assured that Clottey bigger than Cotto and it's by a not inconsequential amount. The guy comes into the ring at between 160 and 170 and he's ripped. There's nothing left on him to lose.

    Go up in weight then. Clottey is one of the biggest complainers in boxing.

    yr rite theres no point in posting too many pics unless they r back to back but i dun see a big difference in cotto and clottey. u only have to watch cotto and clottey in the ring and i dun c much difference.

    i just have real doubts on him saying how its so tough to make 147. at the weigh in, clottey's body did not even look drained.

    I didnt realise it was THAT huge, I have never had to train down in my life. But I understand now, I guess alot of people don't understand either the difficulties involved hence why you get ignorant comments about weight.

    just wanna mention that I found out recently that even Henry Armstrong when he won his WW title, fought at a catchweight of 142.
