    I just realised everyones is debating about numbers like nerds.

    The truth of the matter is that Cotto will outweight Pac by around 13 pounds on fight night.

    So you guys can winge all you want about 'draining' and all that bull**** but Cotto is the one with the advantages here.

    The least he could do is put his title on the line. Unless he doesn't think he can win?

    If Pac wants to claim he has won a title at (or even a fight at) 147, then he must fight by the rules there. He cannot try to handicap the 147ers and then if he wins claim he fairly and squarely beat a 147er. If he wins the most he can cllaim is to have beaten a handicapped guy who normally fights at 147...

    Rubbish.

    If he feels 147 is too much. Then fair enough - then don't move up!!! Its ****ing simple!!! Im starting to be really annoyed with Pacs bull****..

    For example...

    What if Haye said to Vitaly "the fight is in November, and for your belt at 201 catch weight."

    Who would win? and does it matter? Would the result be meaningful?

    You are being annoyed by your own ignorance.

    Rules? Is 145 lbs being in the middle of the limit of 141 lbs to 147 lbs against the rules.

    Shame on you and your rules. :-(
