    Actually that's not what happens, thats what happens when you're Pacquiao.

    A catchweight or two can be overlooked, especially if it was the only way to make a fight, but having 8 different times where you demanded your opponent to be removed from his weightclass? Eight ****ing times?


    What champion did he beat to become the Jr.MW champion? FFS, Canelo and Chavez Jr. are more legitimate titlists then Pac was at 135 and 154. :deal

    Cotto did not kick rocks, he went on to make more money than Pac did, and at a weight class better suited for him. :deal

    Isal is clowning this ni33a bazooka and Lance!!! LMFAO.

    Reading through the thread, Isal's points are much more valid and he seems to have more to back what he is saying then either bazooka or lance.

    Exactly. Having a few catchweight fights is ok. The way Pacquiao does it, he putting dubz on **** and doing way too much with these catchweights.:patsch

    Simple minded fool, this was a reply about avenging a loss... And clearly Margos eye was the defining factor in the Cotto rematch...

    Cotto wanted a 150 catchweight for Tony, guess he wanted to "drain" himself to make it harder for himself to win. Pacman would beat Cotto up just like he did the first time.

    I never saw the point of a rematch. With such a one sided loss in the first fight.

    The first fight wasnt close , both are on the decline. I wouldnt want to see it .

    There is no unfinished business here.

    With JMM there is.

    Stop inventing things the fight limit for the Oscar fight is 147, it's Oscar's own decision to weight 145..

    This is stupid reasoning. Look if you understood boxing you would understand that Cotto knew that the 150 weight would really **** with Marg. although Cotto too.would have some effects, he calculated that Cheato would be worse off. With Pac he knew the catchweight would only affect him and not Pac. So he told them, No deal. I wonder if extra testing was also an issue?

    with regards to the selection of cotto over shane...i thought the people that have followed boxing for a while would see that shane didn't have a chance in hell in getting that fight.

    cotto just re-signed with tr with the promise of getting a pac fight, arum was just following up on an agreement.

    cotto beat shane.

    cotto is as much, maybe even a bigger draw than shane.

    cotto and pac were both with tr, shane was with gbp who has been at odds with arum off and on.

    ...choice was a "no brainer."

    pac went to thailand to beat a lineal champ.

    pac only got a 2 week notice to fight and beat the 122 champ in ledwaba.

    pac went up from 122 to 126 to fight MAB.

    pac went up from 126 to 130 to fight EM.

    pac went up from 130 to fight the 135 champ in Diaz.

    pac in 10 months time went up 17 pounds to fight at DLH where Isal (UliUli) predicted pac will get murdered with the jab alone.

    pac and cherry picking don't know each other.

    8 times name them all please


    Look he has a title, regardless what you or I say in reality he is in the books officially as a world champion at that weight, let me ask you this if you fought for a vacant title against the #2 or #1 guy and won would you not call yourself a champion? be honest you would have felt you earned that regardless of what the media and fans put out there you became the best by that governing body of course your going to call yourself a champion and you should...



    Cotto fighting trout makes him more money than Pac vs Marquez?
