    I don't and I still think Pac could beat Cotto at 147 w/ the re-hydration to 160. It would be more of an achievement if he beat Cotto at the WW limit and less drained anyway. What do you guys think

    It should take place at 147.

    If you want to fight the welter weights, that's where they fight.

    We got way too many divisions as it is.


    However, if Cotto is agreeable and it has to be at 145, i'm ok with that.

    However, Pac needs to be aware that he'll get more credit if it's at 147.

    I would like to see that fight at almost any weight, but a few pounds below would be OK.

    I think that they should fight at 147, but i don't think Pac would come away with the W. Im takin Cotto in this if it pans out.

    In saying that, 142 or 144, whatever they are discussing is still practically WW.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Pacman is an unbelievable fighter, but I just think his last few victories (Diaz, ODH, and Hatton) have been blown up a little too much. A fresh Cotto in my mind will be able to deal with Pac at 147. People sayin that it is gonna be Pac-Hatton all over again are fukin dreamin. Pac can eek out a decision, but Cotto will bring it and Pac will do well to finish the fight.

    145 the absolute limit should be no problem hell he weighed in at 146 for Clottey. 145 for the Mannyweight but not a pound less.

    They should fight at 147lbs and nothing less. Cotto doesn't need to fight PAC right now because he still has options before the end of the year. With that being said i think Cotto should set the weight in his favor. If PAC wants to fight a WW then there it is 147 above !

    I can't vote in your poll because the questions are too ****ed up. Just mark me down out here for "147. No excuses."

    they should fight at 147 and i still think even at 147 paquiao has a big chance to win this fight and it would add another weight belt

    however 145 it's not bad at all but less than that i wouldnt like cotto to be weight drained

    I think the welterweights want to fight Pac more than Pac wants to fight the welterweights.

    I'd prefer 147. 145 at the lowest. But how bout 146? That's what Cotto was for Clottey so there can't be any excuses. People are making a big deal about every pound and rightfully so, so why not that. But I'd prefer it to be at 147 for Cotto's title.

    i would like to see 147, just to see manny make history one more time and snag another belt in a different weight class....

    but cotto said before hatton-pac that he wanted to fight the winner, so it was cotto and the welterweight crew that wanted to fight manny first.....

    manny is the cashcow, and is p4p number 1, if cotto wants to fight then he should meet manny's demands or go fight somebody else.....its just common sense..... this fight should happen at 144....143 is not fair to cotto and 145 is still too high for manny

    using your reasoning then....3 pounds less at 144 is not a big deal either....just 3 pounds?....see its a 2 way street, if cotto wants the pay day and the fight, meet manny's demands miguel....
