    So Cotto is a disgrace just for rematching Marg? Maybe so, cause Marg was medically unfit. But the real disgrace is that he asked a defend his own belt at a CW against this one eyed bum.

    You seem knowledgeable, do you know of another paper titlist that asked to defend his belt at a CW? How about with a rehydration clause? How about against a guy not ranked top 20?

    Avenel, if it didn't make a difference, then why not fight at 138 where Pacquiao weighted in at for his last fight?

    The issue was the use of PEDs by Pacman in this fight it really showed.

    Here once again: THE EVIDENCE that it was a plot against Cotto!


    Source: http://philboxing.com/news/story-26053.html

    This along with comments of Team Pac's trainner Roach being quoted saying that:

    The evidence continues to rain on Team Pac.

    He may have struggled somewhat making the wait, but his problems were more technical than anything.
