If Manny can beat Cotto at any weight...why does he ALWAYS demand a catchweight?

    That's fine, Marg is a bad guy, he doesn't deserve respect. The point is this, if Cotto is really drained at 150, and chose to drain himself just to get en edge over a non contender with 1 good eye, coming off an epic beatdown, then he's worse than a paper champ at 154. This was a title defense for Cotto, he was Ring ranked #1 at 154! Requesting 160 rehydration clause lol, that's what Matt Hatton asked of Canelo (and Canelo probably missed). Cotto himself weighed in 159 against Urkal ages ago.

    You are just hating TS, you already know the answer to your question. Pacquiao is happy to fight Cotto at 147. Pac's team and Pacquiao mentioned long time ago that Margarito fight will be Pac's last fight above 147...

    Solid contribution. So what's your opinion, why did Cotto choose to drain himself to 150 to get an edge on a one eyed bum?

    He doesnt need Cotto he has options and will make good money exercising those options....

    if Cotto wants a piece of Pac, as long as pac is viewed as the star between the two, Cotto is going to have to fight on Mannys terms.

    Example

    Floyd Mayweather insist that any fighter should dare earn a shot to share the same ring with Floyd Mayweather, they are going to have to under go additional testing..... Or there will be no fight....

    Welcome to the Hollywood side of Boxing, when your the star you get to call some shots....

    Dont hate...

    Why would he even request it if it was gonna drain him? You think he enjoys draining?

    Anyone who thinks Cotto would've beat Pac if they had fought at 147 instead of 145 is either delusional or didn't see the fight.

    I can understand if Pac v Cotto was close, people could say... well if Cotto weighed 146 like he did against Clottey instead of 145 or even 147 he might have faired better against Pac and beat him. But it was a destruction. Pac moved up from 138lbs and whooped Cotto's ass.

    It's like saying that if Margo had his plaster he would've beat Mosley. Are you kidding? Mosley would've kicked his ass regardless.
