Pacquiao Is In The Process Of Lobbying To Get The Cotto Fight @ 142-143 lbs.

What weight was he at when he fougnt Oscar?

He didn't look blown up....he actually looked cut up !!!!

 

Tell me when PAC hasn't looked "Cut up"? He's always looked ripped but he looked smaller than DLH that is for sure. I think PAC weighed in around 142 for the fight at 147. He easily made the weight within the WW limit but he had to force himself to weigh more than his body was accustomed. And PAC probably didn't look blown up to you b/c of the sheer dominance of the performance. But its pretty clear PAC has no problems makeing Jr. WW, WW or even Super Feather weight. He weight in at 138 against Hatton. PAC just has the uncanny ability to fight at higher weights will keeping his power, speed and reflexes. Floyd enjoys that same quality as a fighter.

 

Cotto shouldnt take the fight then and go for a rematch with Mosley/Margarito....
Pac is not playing fair if he really wants to fight Cotto to prove a point.

What do you guys think he demands will be if and when he faces PBF????

 

Proabably a catch weight at 144 with Floyd or Floyd might be confident enough to go to Jr WW. Who knows. With Floyd and PAC their egos are large and both will be making demands.

 

Thats what Im saying man, the whole thing with these demands is really getting out of hand. I thought the demands should only concetrate on the money, who comes out to the ring last and whose name gets call last when introducing the boxers before the fight. Those are the demands that have always been standard. This whole thing about catchweight, and weight on fight night is simply bull****.....

 

Pacquiao don't need to do this, he's such a great fighter that he should be able to fight Cotto at any weight. Doing this means he's just lowering himself to a lesser champions standards.

 

That just shows he cut too much weight.

 

No way does all this catch-weight nonsense not hurt Paquiao's legacy.

 

Exactly, they cut weight they didn't have too. I assume it was a miscaculation.

 

against Hatton, Roach said that Pac even ate a full breakfast on the day of the weigh in. He still weighed in at 138.

 

Okay?

He cut even more weight than he should of then as well.


If Pac could only weigh in at 142 for a 147lb because he's that "light" he would not of put on 7 extra lbs in the next 24 hours.


And against Hatton he put on 10lbs. Pac was cutting 15lbs when he was fighting at 130 and against Diaz he put on 12 1/2lbs after the weigh in.

Pac is cutting too much weight. His body is probably use to cutting so much weight and he's done the same routine over and over, he just happens to do it. If anything he might do it on purpose so he can feel refreshed by eating breakfast and still being able to make weight.


But he's cutting TOO much weight. He could spare himself probably 4-5lbs if he's eating a full breakfast prior to weighing in.

By fighting at 140 he only needs to cut 8-9lbs

 

154/155 would seem right for Pac. Scatterbrain is saying he is at his physical peak weight (149/150) on a constant basis which that's just false. Fighters have training camps to hit their PEAK condition on fight day.

 

It doesn't matter what weight they agree on. Cotto will have a lot of trouble against Pacquiao. If the fight ends up in 145 or 147, it will be like the Delahoya fight with a little bit of Diaz and the fight will end in rd 7-10. If the fight happens @ 143, expect the fight to be over in 5. I watched all of Cotto's fights (that I can get a hold of ) with a boxing fanatic and I told him why Pacquiao wins this at any weight. He said because of Cotto and Pacquiao's style of fighting. He agreed and I told him the reason why Cotto will lose and he was glad I noticed it too. He just started laughing and told me not to tell anybody untill fight night.

 

Then why are you telling us ?
Sounds like you are a very perspecacious person :nut
