    COULD SOMEONE PLEASE DO A TALE OF THE TAPE

    FOR COTTO AND PAC :good

    In some photo's miguel doesn't look much bigger than manny
    he looks a little broader on the chest and shoulders but
    height , arms and legs they look the same size???

    Manny's size seems to go up and down he even looked bigger than hatton
    especially with all the steroid rumours floating around
    would be interesting to know the sizes :deal

    THANKS GUYS :thumbsup

    Looking at that, how is Pac coming off the smaller man here? They are the same basically. Hell, why a catchweight then? Then again, why a catchweight at all?

    Hell with catchweights. Just stick the supposed top 10 P4P in a tourney at their natural weights and let the chips fall where they may. There haven't been any HWs making that list in years, so no biggie.

    It is because of their natural build. Cotto is naturally bigger, just not in terms of height and reach.

    yeah its quite deciving

    cotto looks wider shoulder to shoulder but pac looks stronger
    in the legs and arms.

    when he fought hatton in an interview pac looked tiny to hatton

    then a week or so later pac looked like a bodybuilder
    and ricky looked like chesney out of coronation street next to pac :rofl

    Cotto is alot wider naturally. Hatton wasn't massive next to Pac but you could definitely see the size advatage over Pac.

    WTF steroid rumors? By who a trainer whose fighter was iced in two, that is also the father of the second best fighter.

    He was looking pretty strong physically in the short Hatton fight, and we saw how physically strong Hatton was against all his previous foes. Can't see Cotto being drained by dropping 1 pound from his last fight, but if he is it would be a problem.

    Pac will be crazy if he tries to match physical power with Cotto and stands in front of him, cause he'll lose. I expect his punching power to be phenomenal as he gets more accustomed to higher weighs, but I don't even think he'll be up to 145. Probably 142-43.
    He'll more than likely fight similar to the Hoya fight. I think that they were gonna fight this way for Hatton, but just knew Hatton would do anything to make it an iinside fight and would end up catching him early.
