    They said that Cotto had taken a beating from Margarito and was drained @ 145 despite weighing in at 146 for Clottey one fight before. They said the belt didn't really count. They also said that Floyd fought a fresh, undefeated Cotto.

    How you gone discredit Manny and then give Errol full credit and say that Brook was 100% when just one fight ago, he got his face destroyed by the hardest punching middleweight and had to drop 35 pounds to get back down to 147?

    Here, there and everywhere.

    Just give the name of one person who gave Pac no credit but gave Spence loads of credit.

    I only answer one question from a mentally challenged troll per day. It's nothing personal, just my own policy. Come back tomorrow, but feel free to continue banging away at your drool soaked keyboard!

    People are nit-picking when they're hating on the Pac win, and they're in direct opposition to Cotto himself as Cotto stated he had no problems making the weight that time around and he has no excuses there.

    That fight shouldn't have been sanctioned, but it was and Pac pulled out one of the very greatest achievements in boxing history that night.

    Brook was undoubtedly effected by losing muscle to make 147 again, but beyond that, Errol's overall body work paid huge dividends and Errol just wouldn't stop coming. Brook looked bigger than Spence which shocked me.

    Spence is an experienced weight cutter. His youth allows him to continue draining down without affecting his abilities. They knew Brook was damaged and that the weight was going to affect him badly. That's why he and his team were screaming "Just make weight! Just make weight!" during the first press conference. They weren't screaming this because it sounded cool.

    I had Brook up 5-2 after the 7th and I remarked in the early rounds that Brook looked lethargic and was pushing his punches. Healthy Brook stops Spence.

    If he can get away with it, it still counts. In the past few years, the weight cutting has gotten ridiculous.
    I had Brook ahead too up until Spence took over, but I felt that some of the rounds could've gone to Spence. Brook was too economical and Spence was busier and ultimately outhustled Brook.

    For sure. I'm just making the point that they knew Brook would be badly affected by the weight loss. And I know Spence defenders will say Spence was drained too, bit it's really not the same situation.
