    Mother****er 145 was a counter offer. Cotto wanted the money and prestige of beating a guy like Pacquiao. Who wouldn't?

    Mother****er who offered 143 lbs?

    Your boy ***iao was dead set against fighting Cotto at 147.

    Dumb mother****er, lmao.

    145 was cotton's terms not pacquiao. Anyone that followed boxing at this time know it to be true.

    The whole idea of a catch weight fight is to have 2 fighters a division or 2 apart fight at a fair weight so the fans get to see what they want. Not draining an opponent a extra pound or two so you have a advantage

    :patsch Let's throw Floyd in there as being in the cheaters Club right next to Manny.... There's about as much depth and truth to the accusation since I don't have a shred of proof or evidence to support what I'm saying.....no more than you do in saying Pac is doping.:lol: Cotto couldn't make 147 anymore yet he had not problem making 146 for the Clottley fight!:rofl. You a silly mother ****er too!:yep

    Cotto wasn't 100%. Weighing in at 145, and probably less during training isn't 100% healthy. Boxers train to be able to throw and take punches. Being hurt doesn't always take a lot out of your legs. Everyone's recovery power is different.

    No, you're the silly, stupid mother****er, lmao. You can't use the Clottey fight ass some ****ing excuse for Cotto coming in at 146 when the ww limit for that fight was 147.

    LOL....Cotto wanted to fight Pac and he AGREED to 145. He's a big boy and he was comfortable in suggesting 145 where Pac came off his proposal of 143.

    the point in question is who's idea was it for the fight to happen at 145...it was cotto's idea. cotto was quoted as saying 145 or no fight al all.

    cotto forced pac to accept his term...dumb mother****er.

    This is going nowhere. I'm out.

    *******s are new to the sport.

    You'll learn. You'll have to once Pacquiao retires. Most of you *******s will stop being boxing fans anyway, lmao.

    Cotto is a world class athlete and a world champion many times over in multiple weight divisions.... Cotto is always 100% prepared for his fights! No excuses...win, lose or draw. He has a legitimate concern in his loss to Tony but he just got the brakes beat off his ass by Manny based on not being on Pacs level.

    Cutting weight is a sacrifice in boxing that will never go away....miguel fought at Jr WW for years then moved up to Welter weight and was easily coming in under 147...... i.e. his Aight for the josh fight.

    Depending on how well conditioned you are contributes to how well you are able to recover. That's boxing fundamental right there kid....some have better chins than others and can take a better shot but recovering is something fighters can train for through conditioning.

    LOL....relax fruitcake... You got your panties all in a knot and for what? Because I'm not choosing to ride with your tired, lame ass excuses for why Pac beat Cotto? Don't be mad sweetheart...I'm just helping you improve on some much needed critical thinking skills you're sorely lacking in. When a man agrees to fight....that's it! There's no ***** ass excuses 2 or 3 yrs later from fans or haters looking to push their agenda....that's some weak sauce kid.:yep
