    Clottey was relevant?

    Top 4 is a relevant fight IMO, even though he was coming off a loss I believe :-(

    The discussion wasn't about Cotto being weight drained but Roach's intentions with asking for him to fight at 145 instead of 147. Which was verified by Roach himself admitting to looking to take something off these bigger guys in one of his youtube videos. Its a simple concept, for most ppl that last few pds are the hardest to cut so now add 2 more pds on top of that to cut and you will have to put more attention to cutting weight leading up to the fight then training for the fight. Cotto being weight drained isn't what im argueing. Just the intentions of asking Cotto to weigh less then 147.

    Rewatch the Cotto vs Mosley fight and then watch the Cotto vs Pac fight. If you really believe Cotto had the same build then I don't know what to say. During the Pac fight my brother said to me that "Pac looks bigger then Cotto".

    Agreed. Clottey wasn't relevant when manny fought him (nor has he ever been).

    manny's only noteworthy win at 147 was Bradley. Everything else was smoke and mirrors.
