    Those guys are all bigger than Pac and have a huge size advantage.

    A catchweight doesn't erase that - it just softens it a little.

    When Pac is not fighting his focus is on politics, not boxing.

    He's a part time fighter in the sense that his primary career right now is being a politician, not a boxer. If he wasn't getting paid so much he wouldn't even be boxing anymore.

    Pac doesn't even train between fights.

    They could fight at heavy weight with Cotto getting every conceivable advantage in the negotiation and it wouldn't make a difference.

    Insulting to a paying audience that this rematch was ever being considered.

    it's not weird. Pac had just fought Cotto at 145, Clottey at 147, Margo at 150 and surely figured he was starting to get more and more confident taking on these bigger guys. I think he realized at 150 he was seriously outsized even though able to overcome it.

    Pacquiao is greater than Floyd:

    Pacquiao: I'm one of the best.

    Floyd: You see health come first...God dammit, I'm a coward ok. Why do you want to watch a coward in me, stop watching me :lol:.

    he already smashed him before, wo gives a ****, many is a welter now and cotto a light middle, they couldnt agree on a weight so they left it.

    Marquez deserves the rematch more anyway, he was competitive. Cotto got smashed

    Either way honestly even if they were to fight at 154, Pacquiao is just a bad match up for cotto, yeh he does have a new trainer and fights at 154 and first few rounds will be competitive but cotto is easy to hit and gets his face busted again. Styles makes fights. Cotto fans and mayweather fans make it out like he is a beast at 154 who fought the best fighters in that weight.
