    :huh You act like people aren't already dealing with that. It's just gossipy little floyd fanboys like you who need to deal with it. Which is why you guys can't STOP trying to talk about it like it's something bad. Pac's not the first, won't be the last. You see ******, each weight class spans a RANGE, not a single weight. :lol:

    "Ooh...deal with that!" You're such a catty little ****. :rofl

    Cool story, yet he numerous chances to go back down to 140, where big fights were plenty.

    He could have fought bradley at 140 and marquez at 140 but chose not to. This tells you pac is more than happy fighting at WW.

    even cooler story. He didnt force anybody to do anything. Pac took the hard way up an earned sway. Thats the way it goes

    Just like floyd didn't force marquez to fight him when he came in 2lbs over. :good

    As long as we are consistent.

    No, Cotto said no originally. Then Arum asked Cotto's conditioning coach about what weight Cotto would be able to perform at...the coach said 145. Arum took that number and backed Cotto into a corner with "well your coaches are saying...."

    Cotto, being the company man he was, said yes. It was a slimeball move by top rank.

    actually, Pac wanted the fight at 143. It was Cotto who said 145 or no fight.

    Pac agreed. Even though the fight before that he fought at only 140 and weighed in at only 138.

    Pac moved up in weight and made Cotto his *****. Deal with it.

    I never got this Cotto being weight drained thing. There´s absolutely no evidence at all of him being drained. Even Cotto said after the fight he had had the best training camp ever. Furthermore, Cotto had fought several fights below the limit with his last one before Pacquiao being at 146. I´ve NEVER heard of a guy being weight drained for having to come in ONE pound less than he did in his previous fight. Cotto just ****ing lost. What´s the big deal?
