Cotto's and DLH's weight on the nights they fought Pacquiao?

If true, why no words for from Cotto or Oscar about it whatsoever? I mean it would be the perfect excuse. Its just pure made up BS. Just as reliable as saying Foreman had a clause he would hurt his knee in the 7th, Pac had a clause he would loose to Morales. Its pure bull****.

 

Change your name from Don Q to One IQ.

 

enough with the alts...

you already have loads of them..

 

I will give you the answer that you want, and the one that the pacroids fanboys dont want to hear. Is very true that Oscar cant go over 147 to the Paquiao fight, that was part of the contract. Second both Cotto and Oscar has plenty of time to dehydrate and lose the power advantage to Pac. The question is why they dont do the same strict requirements to Clottey, easy, the fight was on march 3, and Clottey was advise in January 18. Advise, he was not training at the time. The natural weight of Clottey is about 180 pounds out of the gym and has less than a month to lose 33 pounds and to be in shape. They dont need to put weight clauses, because he will be weight drain the night of the fight. Contrary to Floyd who weight 148 lbs the night he fought the La Hoya, and Freddie Roach has said that Oscar weight was 160 pound the day of the fight.

 

Yeah right. DLH, the king of gaining every perceivable advantage over opponents in big fights, was going to agree to come in to the fight without hydrating. You know how stupid that sounds?

And does anyone even know what Cotto weighed in his fight vs Pac?
Ridiculous conspiracy theory.

 

The reason DLH didn't hydrate back to what he usually would was due to him losing the weight early in training camp, maintaining it all the way to the fight. Why he did this could have to do with the excessive monetary penalties if he weighed in over and he wanted to make sure there was no chance he wouldn't make weight. Could also have something to do with the fact he had stated previously he wanted to fight Hatton at 140.

 

Thanks andres31, I often wondered why the negotiation when the way they went.

 

LOL, he's lying, and you're lying too. :hi:

 

I found it a little fishy that they didn't report the fighters' weights on fight night for the Cotto fight. This information is especially valuable when a smaller fighter moves up in weight.

 

yea, thanks andres. I was confused before, but now I understand.

 

De La Hoya was Pac's first fight above 135. It was fought at 147, with DLH agreeing to come down one division, while Pac agreed to move up two (after having only one fight at 135). This was agreed to make the fight not seem like a complete mismatch so it would sell, yet it was still seen as a mismatch. Did you expect Pac to fight DLH at 154? Idiots

The Cotto fight was a catchweight at 145. Pac had just knocked off Hatton for his 140 crown and hadn't ever weighed more than 142 for a fight. Pac was not an established welterweight, contrary to popular belief. His handlers weren't yet sure he could handle a young strong welterweight, and were in a position to do demand a catchweight to ensure the fight was as fair as possible. Unlike the clowns handling JMM who let the farce with Mayweather go ahead. Anyway, Cotto agreed, had weighed in 146 many times previously, and looked strong and even said it didn't effect him. What's the big deal? Why don't people use logic insteasd of letting their hate lead them to these stupid assertions and conspiracy theories. Pac is obviously established at welter now and will not demand any more catchweights at 147.

 

:good

 

Yes. Pacquiao would have died in the ring from the very first jab that Cotto threw. It wouldn't even have to have landed. :deal :happy
