For a mere TWO pounds, Roach is saying Pacquiao isn't good enough

Floyd-Marquez will be fought at 143 and Pac haters here called Pac cherrypicking Cotto by fighting him at 145. Do the math, Pacterons!!!!

 

Im not calling it a cherry pick.

I think Pac beats Cotto at 147. Why force it at 145? Cotto's going to gain the weight back the same and weigh what he normally weighs.

 

He was, didn't he start l08? Did you guys about some posts ago discredited Pac's win against Hatton as fluke? :hi:

 

sure man. whatever you say.

148=149?

which is a load of bull really. here, 1 pound is insignificant but for cotto to reduce by 1 lb is matter of life and death. :rofl

now i get it.

pbf is "slightly" bigger over pac because

1. 1 lb weight advantage only. :rofl
2. 2 inch height advantage.
3. 5 inch reach advantage.

pass me some of that **** will you.

 

Again, I clarified this already that no one was forcing Cotto to fight at 145. He volunteered this weight and was accepted by Roach.

 

You're comparing apples and oranges.

He was 148 compared to Floyds 149. When comparing weight, they are basically the same weight. And if we want to believe what Floyd said when he said he was down to 146 I could easily say Floyd weighs less than Pac but I didn't.

Cotto losing 1 extra lb is the not same as comparing two peoples weights and them being 1lb apart. atschatschatsch

Floyd is not that much physically bigger Pac.

It's actually a 2 inch reach advantage, not 5. There's a different between wingspan measurement and armpit to fist.

 

Like I said. Just because he agrees doesn't mean it wont hurt him.

 

bottom line floyd is still bigger! :yep


when it comes to floyd to you 1 lb doesn't matter but when it comes to pac it's a matter of life and death.

anways floyd should have fought cotto a long time ago but... i guess cotto was too big for him. lol

 

Roach said Cotto is a tough customer. No one is sure in winning this fight. Both fighters respect each other strengths. Pac's strength is his speed while Cotto is build and power. This is like Floyd-Baldomir if I may say so.

 

I admit Floyd is bigger. Never have I said they aren't.

Comparing two fighters weights 1lb isn't a factor.

But when you are forcing a fight to cut extra weight that he hasn't weighed in at in over 3-4 years. It can be unhealthy.

That 1lb is a lot when it's added to 12-13lbs that is already being cut.

Complete difference.

But if you want to get technical Floyd said he was at 146 already and someone saw him weigh in at 145 2 weeks after.

 

Cotto lacks defense. Pac has an amazing offense.

Combine that with Cotto's chin. I see an easy fight.

 

That's your personal opinion but what about Cotto. He won't propose 145 if he believes it will hurt him. He did not only agree btw, the counter offer came from him.

 

We cannot underestimate Cotto who beat fast and bigger than Pac Mosley. At this point, anything can happen.

 

but you don't fight with one fist don't you. stop skewing the numbers in favor of pbf.

he has always been listed as 72 inch reach. pac at 67. :yep

 

Castillo agreed to fight Corrales at 135 after fighting their prior. He couldn't even come close to making weight and was given extra time and couldn't even lose an extra lb.

Just because someone says they can, doesn't mean they will.
