    it looked like the chin but when i tried to pause a low resolution video of the fight, it looks more like to the right side.

    Cotto weighed 146lbs vs. Clottey, do you *****s really think 1lbs would of had a diffrent outcome? :rofl. *****s won't accept it even though Cotto stated he felt alright!

    The only that can't be argued is ODLH as he was truly drained. But then again the one that wanted to pick on a smaller man was Oscar. And everyone and their mother gave Pac no chance at all, including me.

    im not a ***** but one pound makes a difference and its really 2 pounds...also with a **** trainer 0 confidence and before he gained everything back by beating margarito...the cotto that fought mayweather was way way better and hes going to continue to get better with diaz

    The Cotto that fought Mayweather would have knocked out Tyson. Truely a Boxing God that only Money could have conquered. Ali/Cotto of Mayweather fight...50/50 at best.

    But the Cotto who fought Pac don't get me started. My grandmother would have knocked that weight drained, unconfident, shotz to shitz zombie, poorly trained bum out of the arena.

    In 2009: "I felt really good at 145. It wasn't a problem for me."

    That's basically code for: "Thank you Bob and Team Pacquiao for getting me the highest payday of my career. I shall not complain [puts on a fake smile]."

    In 2012: "Now that I'm no longer working for that ***** Arum, it feels so good to finally speak the truth. They want me to drain myself by going down in weight for a rematch? **** them. I can make more money fighting Mayweather at a comfortable weight."

    His lack of a proper trainer in camp and in the corner contributed much more to the loss than the catch-weight; he didn't fight like a drained fighter, just a poorly prepared one strategically. Still a very good win for Manny.

    Really simple in 2009 Cotto could make 145 comfortable in 2012 he is a solid 154 he could probably make 152 safe.

    Whats your point he stated that the 1st fight the weight was not a problem.

    The weigh had nothing to do with his loss to pac more than the weight what affected cotto vs pacquiao was his confidence, i think if they fought today it would be a entirely different fight. Cotto was coming of a beating from margacheato he was doubting himself. After beating margo and doing great vs floyd cotto has regained a lot of the confidence he loss that night vs plaster man. Today he feels good is going through a good period in his career he trust his corner and diaz has him fighting hard, training hard and believing in himself again.

    He already said he abused his body making weight for the Pacquiao fight and that he wouldn't go for that ever again.

    Fighting at a disadvantage is dangerous any way you like it. If Pac can't fight real welterweights at their real weights why not just stay at junior welter?

    man cotto at 145 was aight.

    145-154 whatever in this case.

    if cotto wanted to fight at 147 he could fight there and be aight.

    147 is not a thing of the past for someone like cotto.
