    Is it true that when Cotto and DLH fought Pac they could not go above 147 the day of the fight because of a clause asked by team Pacquiao?

    nope because pac weighed 148 and 149

    they cant demand for a fighter to do that and not follow that same rule.

    I suppose we can only speculate and take a guess. Cotto didnt look as big as he had done at full WW but was still strong and fast as ive seen him before. DLH was clearly not the same fighter who fought mayweather, but he wasnt completey shot against pacquiao.

    That's some bull**** rumor. Cotto and Hoya would never agree to something like that. Plus it would have been highly publicized if true.

    Both weight drained ghosts. The ODLH fight was a farce, Oscar had no business fighting in a division he had not fought in for 7 years, he was like a skeleton. Cotto less so but he still didn't look the same, the move up to 154 was the best move for him to make as he's to big for 147 now.

    Don't know about Cotto but DLH was 147, 2lbs below Pac.

    Oscar kept his weight low until the HBO weigh-in because he didn't want the fight to look like a mismatch.

    Well I just confirmed that ODLH entered the ring that night at 147, while Pac entered at 148.5. It doesn't make sense that DLH in the weight in was at 145 and entered at 147 being the bigger man. I'm not saying it was because of a clause, but it still makes you wonder.

    Nope, Pac has no voice for himself. That's why I said team Pacquiao. In fact I think if it was for Pac and not for Roach and Arum he would have done alot of things differently.
