Right! I impartial either way to catch weights. I just wanna see good fights and let them work out the details. No one is forced to do anything...either you want it or you don't....either you can or you can't. If you say you can then make sure you show the **** up 100% otherwise that's your ass! PAC said he'd move up in weight and he did....he didn't know if he'd be crushed by larger men, he took the risk and it played out in his favor...Cotto throwing out a catch weight of 145 is a risk, albiet a very small one..so let him do his thing without excuses. The bigger risk is a NON WEIGHT issue...its the person in front of him. PAC too! Being smaller is not the biggest concern for PAC...it's what Cotto brings to the fight.
Pac was not fine at 135, he had to move up. Floyd is bigger but that does not change the fact that come fight time they are the same weight. Floyd should be able to grab the same advantages pac is demanding right? Not when rehydrating your body isn't going to decide to add more weight than what you started at.
I disagree, just because he says he's WW doesn't really he should be fighting there. He has the ability to fight at 147 because of his skills and he can call himself a WW but he weighs less than what most normal 140lbers weight on fight night.
I guess if Cotto throughout the statement of 145 weight, then he can pull it off. Now, if Roach comes out and now says "oh, we want him to come in lower", then Cotto is in deep **** if he takes the fight. If it is not signed yet, Roach can come up with the weight issue.
