    Previous to Cotto/Pacquiao, Pacquiao fought at 140 versus Hatton, he weighed in at 138 for that bout at the scales. Cotto fought Clottey, weighing in at 146. During negotiations the idea of 143 was proposed. Cotto countered with 145. Both sides agreed and the fight was on.

    Now, my question to those who seem to be confused is, and I'm 100% serious,...are you ****ing stupid? Seriously, are you just a bunch of morons? Maybe someone can translate my post into a rap song, or maybe into Spanish...so your slack jawed high forehead slobbering heads can absorb what you're missing. Poor dumb *******s.

    $ <---- Why Cotto counter offered with 145.

    But anyways....why did Pacquiao want 143? Please enlighten me ****ing genius? Who gives a **** that Pacquiao weighed in at 138 for Hatton. If Pac was fighting for a 147lb belt, what the **** does it matter?

    Do I have run through the list of catchweight title fights in the history of boxing, and as to why they took place, or should assume you're not a ****ing pissant fool?

    Oh, and we'll conveniently forget/ignore the fact that Cotto wanted a 150 lb. catchweight bout versus Margarito, but eventually settled at 153 instead, one pound below the Junior Middle limit. And he wanted a 160 lb. cap on fight night, but didn't get it. This is after fighting at 154 twice preceding this bout. Yeah, nothing similar happened there. ****ing douche bag dickriding fanboys and their selective memories.

    #1: $$$

    #2: Cotto makes no excueses! He is a true boxer, a man and future HOF! No need to discredit anything or make excueses. But he did say: "I'll not sacrifice my body again to make weight like that".

    catchweights are used throughout histry to make fights between fighters that wouldn't normally happen.

    Deal with haters

    It was made because people wnted the cotto manny fight. but cotto was though s the much bigger fighter so they came up with a catch weight. Cotto was fine with iw.

    Manny gave Marquez a catch weight in there 3rd fight.

    Floyd also gave him one.

    Ward and Dawson have done it so we get to see that fight.

    Hopkins and delahoya did it so we got to see that fight.

    Broner said he's do it to make the rios fight. A fight we'd all love to see.


    Catch weights happen in boxing.

    If the fight had hapened after clottey, then it would have been at 147.

    Deal with it Haterz
