    Cotto's been having a very good camp, and rumor has it that Pac has not trained long for this fight... PAc knows Cotto will be weakened making 145, and that has always been PAc's vote of confidence.

    CABALLO, what happened with Ariza? Did he cheat in the past? If so, who against. Give some specifics please. I've never heard of him.

    if you think that Paquiao is going to be stronger than Cotto you need to stop drinking that cool aid! He could come to the ring at 150 he STILL will NOT be stronger than Cotto. You will see, Cotto is about the slap a 130 pounder silly!

    Are you insinuating that
    Ariza is using steroids for Pacquiao? You need to substantiate your claim or lose credibility here in this forum.

    Alex Ariza doesn't have a reputation.

    145 is already 7 pounds higher than Manny's last weigh in.

    Just 1 pound lower than Cotto's last weigh in.

    Cotto has the big advantage here. If he wants an even bigger one and to come in at 147 then thats his prerogative but its only fair that he should forfeit an even bigger part of the purse to gain that egde.

    Everything has its price. Despite the huge size disadvantage Manny is willing to fight Cotto at 147 if the price is right and the right price happens to be 1million$ extra per pound.

    Your point???? The welterweight division is anything between 140.1 and 147....I believe a fighter should fight at there best weight between the weight class stipulaltions. Henry Armstrong fought for the welterweight title with a 7-9 pound weight disparity and later for the middleweight bout while barely being over the lightweight limit....it aint pound for pound for nothing

    I see what you are saying but I dont see a pound or two deciding the outcome of the fight.....skills, power, speed, and intangibles will do that but I understand your position:thumbsup

    Don't bring this **** up again. Pac wanted 142/143, Cotto said he could not go below 145. It was not his choice/idea; Pac insisted on a catchweight. Cotto said he could not make the catchweight Pac wanted.

    Cotto said he could make 145 and still be able to fight at 100% - so no excuses from either camp.

    I havnt liked what ive been seeing from cottos camp...... i dont know if its because his uncle is no longer on the team, but the whole team and routine seems a bit soft, and lack of intensity. Also, im not confident in the conditioning coach, as i believe its the same guy he had for margarito, and they showed the same type of training for that fight i believe, only for cotto to run out of gas in the fight.
