Losing ONE POUND can never in a million years weaken an adult male.

    Reading the sort of drivel popkins is posting in this thread is the reason I rarely bother to post on here... it like trying to debate with a 5 year old.

    1 pound of muscle could mean alot. if 146 his natural weight that 1 pound will weaken him. however we dont know half these guys natural weight because only a great trainer can tell a fighter what his natural weight is and we aint that and with trainers pushing the fighters so hard to move up in weight its hard to tell. especially when fighters dont live right and work out right(weight lifting) so we dont know if cotto weakend himself or not because cotto dont know what his natural weight is.

    If i were a trainer my fighter stays at his natural weight and remain unbeatable. your fighter pays for moving up in weight with alzaheimers and bones that never heal. Hearns is ****edup and his nose never healed right. SRL is the exception because he used his speed

    Like I pointed out to you that Foreman is a boxer and largely stayed away from Cotto causing him to pick his shots rather than slug. You wouldn't understand though.

    Nope.

    If it takes everything you have got to get to 146 (it doesn't for Cotto anyway, but let's play devil's advocate), then getting down ONE POUND lower is still **** all. It's too small and insignificant an amount of weight.

    If it isn't, then WHY DID COTTO COME IN AT 146 INSTEAD OF THE 147 HE WAS PERMITTED TO FOR THE CLOTTEY FIGHT, IF HE WAS STRUGGLING SO INSANELY TO MAKE WELTERWEIGHT???

    If you struggle to make 147 and someone asks you to fight at lww, that is going to be a struggle which will affect you on fightnight. If you are asked to weigh ONE POUND less, it is NOT going to affect you.

    Then why even ask for a catchweight? It would seem to me that Roach and Pac thought it would make a difference. I guess they're idiots as well.

    That's good for Stewart. However, Cotto himself said he would only go back to 147 for a big fight. That would indicate to me that he struggles to make 147. But hey, maybe Stewart knows Cotto's body better than Cotto does.

    He burned out and couldn't keep up his own pace. You really are as ******ed as you sound.

    That is indeed a correct explanation of why Cotto's punch output dropped. However, earlier in the thread you claimed that

    and overall endurance

    which you do not appear to have as yet acknowledged as being false.

    Because you now what Cotto's natural weight is.

    How the **** can a fighter get down to 140 if they struggle to make 147? Stupid post.

    If fighters walked around near to the fight weight you would have a point. To get to fighting weight they have spent 3 months on megaitive calorie diets while trying not to lose
    any
    muscle.

    They are near to death at the weigh in no fluids no solids and have even started losing the fat around they organs.
    The
    more you train through your life the harder it gets. As you build
    more muscle.

    It is alot easier in your early career as you fight alot
    closer to your
    natural weight as you fight more
    often and don't have as
    long training camps.

    Look at hatton he loses close to 4 st in 3 monetha before a fight and looks like
    a
    ghost. This is not ature they are surrounded by experts. If it was easy to drap another lb or 2 wouldn't they fight at
    a
    lower weight and exploit they size/power

    Maybe a poor choice of words by me. He looked far more fresh in the Foreman fight and didn't tire down the stretch like he did against Clottey and Pacquiao.

    I know what one pound difference between 145 and 146 is. :good

    :huh That was kind of my point, mongoloid. Your reading comprehension skills are almost as rubbish as your opinions on boxing.

    Do you think that might, just might, have had anything at all to do with the amount of punishment & damage taken in the Clottey & Pacquiao fights, as compared to the Foreman 'fight'?

    Anything at all????


    What a ****ing monster '**** you are mate, honestly. :lol:
