That extra 2 lbs in the Cotto/Pacquiao fight wouldn't have made a difference and I am sure we all as boxing fans honestly believe that. Manny put hands on Cotto and would do it again even at 154. Oscar had no business going down to 147 and yes he was drained but that was his own fault. He probably would have had more energy at 154 but he still would have got hands put on his ass too.
True. The weight didn't play a role in the Marquez fight with Floyd. It would be that way at any weight.
And Pac fans, be honest: Even if Floyd fought the exact version of Mosley that beat Margarito, he still would have whooped him in a wide UD. It's not his fault that Mosley was as shot as he was. He just did what we were all demanding him to do back in early 2010. And even if JMM made a successful transformation to WW like he did against Pac, would he really have done any better? I doubt it. Size and weight wasn't what allowed Floyd to dominate the way he did, it was pure skill and intelligence.
basically yup its funny to listen to manny fans dispute steroid accusations by saying "well floyd and manny were the same weight as teenagers so why dont we suspect floyd too"..... yet they make it seem like manny has accomplished these amazing feats....if thats the case..then floyd has accomplished amazing feats too.....not only that....but he didnt win vacant titles or fight at catches to do it at 147 and 154
And Bute fans be honest; Your hero is an absolute cowardly disgrace who got a 300 count and is afraid of leaving Canada.
I always said pac would beat cotto, even went as far to say he would knock him out. Just surprised I was one of the few people who never bought into the cotto hype.
But it wasn't pathetic at the time. Manny was still unknown at welterweight. He only had a shot Oscar to his name. Cotto was a legit, powerful, live 147 pounder, and it was only natural for Manny, who was a mere 138 in the previous fight, to request a 145 meeting. It's also worth mentioning that Manny turned down a fight with Shane Mosley at 140! That's how questionable their confidence was in Manny's chances against welterweights.
And Hatton fans be honest. Mayweather Sr did not ruin hatton career. Ricky binge drinking and ballooning up in weight did.
i dunno man...i like cotto....sure hes not an all time great...but hes one of the best of his generation....hes fun to watch....i dont get some of the hate
And Klitschko fans, be honest, your boys are operating in an absolute pile of horse**** of a division. So you can forgive people for not approving of the Ali, Louis, etc comparisons.
