    Are you implying that Pacquio is a woman? The reason that a 5'6 140 lb man is stronger than a woman of the same height and weight is because men have denser muscles, more fast twitch fibers, and less body fat.

    It goes both ways......if PAC wins it will because Cotto was weight drained, a shot fighter after th Marg fight or wasn't 100%. If Cotto wins, he's fighting the smaller man so he'll be hit with he had the advantage with his power, size and strenght.

    No one can question Cotto has the size advantage. He's a natrual WW....a bit on the smaller side but that is only b/c of his height. He's frame can carry 160 well, although that wouldn't be a good fighting weight. PAC "can" fight at WW and Jr WW but he's not a natural welter, jr or super. He's a legit 130 or 135 lbs fighter who's seeking "BIG FIGHTS" that are above an beyond his natrual weight class. If the Cotto's, FLoyds, Rickys and DLH's were at 135 or 130 PAC would have stayed put. He's looking for the challenge and of course the $$$$.

    Because ESB is full of self hating, bitter, arrogant fools who think they know more about boxing (and life ) for that matter when they are in real life true losers.

    to deny that cotto has a size advantage would be ridiculous.

    just over a year ago, people were saying that pac would get murdered if he went up against the likes of cotto.

    how times have changed. but seriously, look at the press con wherein cotto and pac had a staredown.

    it was clear that cotto had the height advantage.

    Cotto might look like the bigger fighter, but will he fight like a bigger fighter after making 145 is the question. I'm telling you now, I hope Cotto does not over train for this fight because you will see it at the weigh in. Hiring a nutritionist is not the answer unless he can get you to lose weight properly while still eating regular food, and not diet food.

    Oh! That's NEW!

    I know, if Cotto loses he over trained?!

    or is it because of the judges/ref?!

    IF Pac LOSES! 100% credit goes to Cotto!!!

    How about you?! You always have excuses for giving 100% credit to pac

    Cotto is weight drained?!
    Cotto over trained?!
    Cotto is not the same Cotto after the Margo fight?!
    Cotto is shot?!

    So what is it?! :yep:hey

    FYI-He's had the nutritionist for a few years now. It's not a new thing.
