    I just want to see the fight. 145 is good for me, healthy and fair. Too bad there's this title BS that only politicians care about.

    I can't stand none of these catchweights, if you want a title go to the original weight and win it, these catchweights are what's killing the sport.

    No it aint:rofl if it wasn't for these catchweight then we wouldn't have seen fights like

    Winky-Bhop
    delahoya-b-hop
    pavlik-b-hop
    taylor-pavlik 2
    etc etc there's nothing wrong with it as long as both fighters agree to the weight.

    Yes fighters can weigh from 141 to 147 (or even lower if they wish) but having a limit within a limit weakens the validity of the title for me even more than the numerous ABC's.

    I am a fan of Pacquiao and I hope he can win a 7th weight title but I want him to do that without enforcing a catchweight and by beating a champion that is allowed to weigh in at 147 lbs.

    i don't know why people care so much about that WBOgus belt when it was even handed to cotto like a candy..i don't even consider it legitimate when he won that piece of **** from a bum name jennings. The only legitimate belt i consider in the welterweight division is mosley's belt(WBA) and berto's(WBC)

    Then he should be allowed to weigh in at 147lbs... since he will be defending his belt. :yep

    Last time i checked 145 isn't a weight class. As far as I'm concerned if Pac wins it does nothing to solidify his legacy with regards to titles, all it'll be is defeating a weight drained Cotto. ***** move by team Pac, they're loosing respect rapidly now.
