    It was my bad. Duran was coming off a tough close fight to Hagler when he fought Hearns and have to move down in weight to fight Hearns but i won't give that an excuse for Duran. Duran fought 3 atg and beat 1 out of those 3.

    If Pacquiao wins the fight at a catchweight, he does not deserve any credit. As I said, not worrying about weight during camp is such a breeze rather than having weight to worry about. He doesnt deserve any credit because a) he knows his opponent was handicapped and worked on losing weight rather than strategy and b) His opponent would gas earlier than usual.

    You do realize that Pac outweighed Marquez by 9 lbs in their second fight do you? So we can say that it was unfair on Marquez's part to fight a guy who outweighed him by 9 lbs. Do you know that it is harder to lose weight than go up? Oh yeah I guess you dont know. You dont know what can happen to you when your more focused on losing weight on camp rather than working on strategy. You dont know the effect of being drained. It should be at 147 since Pac wants Cotto. Make the fight at 147 since its for Cotto's title. Not at some catchweight.

    Duran was #4 out of the fabulous four and all four of those guys are ATGs.

    This fight should be at 147 no catch weight. I don't want to hear excuses from Cotto fans saying he was drained.

    :yep Cotto always gets hurt but the difference this time will be like it was against Margicheato; Cotto won't be able to a damn thing to stop Pac, this is gonna get very ugly for Cotto fans. BTW Pac is the REAL puncher between the 2.

    He wants Cotto because after seeing his performance against Clottey he thinks it will be easier than Mayweather. Otherwise, he would just wait for the winner of Mayweather/Marquez.

    Imagine how Cotto will fight when he's drained down to 140 pounds.

    it doesnt really matter what weight it takes place.....there will always be excuses, if he looses they will say that cotto was past his prime because he didnt show his best aganst clottey. even though he did great given that clottey was a very very tough opponent. its all bull****, you gotta stop listening to these fans, otherwise you'll go crazy and wont be able to enjoy boxing anymore

    I agree.

    Plus there's the seventh weight class title for Manny. It's worth the risk.

    So basically you're saying that Pac was at a huge disadvantage when he fought Marquez because he was too focused on losing weight during camp rather than working on strategy.
