    I dont know but he wasnt as ripped as he was during the weigh in. Id say he had about 10lbs on Pac.

    i think he looked all bones, he didnt even have swet on his body in the ring before the first bell rang which is a sign of dehydration.

    I guess 5-7 punds would be reasonable but he did look a little dehydrated during the fight although he wasnt as exhausted as previous matches... He sad he wasnt dehydrated on the local news but i dont buy that...

    I wish we knew. How much he put back on would be good to know. If he only gained 5-7 pounds, then the weight was a problem. He usuually rehydrates about 13 pounds, so he should have got close to 158. Maybe he didn't though.

    I just hate catchweights when we already have all the extra divisions now.

    I knew someone was going to say this. Looked like bones :rofl:rofl. That look was a look of a guy in shape.

    That was the best shape he's been in for a long long time. Cotto , for once, trained his butt of and his body was lean and in shape.

    Dude, anyone who can backpedal all the way to the 12 rounds is not dehydrated, he looked like he could win the Tour De France with his energy. He got beat, and weight was definitely not an issue. My first impression was he looked really crisp and physical. Watch the first round! It's simple, his game plan went down the drain once he felt Pac's power.

    Yes because you would know more than Cotto himself how he felt based on seeing pictures. :roll:

    Why would he lie?

    Wouldn't it be better for him to say he was dehydrated since he would have an excuse for losing.

    He should have applied constant pressure to Pacquiao. Pacquiao canNOT fight going backwards.

    According to the UK commentary Cotto had a 10 pound weight advantage over Pacquiao on the night, does anyone know how much Pac weighed?
