    I see, you're well informed. Indeed Pac didn't even want to go above 147, then Cotto goaded him into offering 150. Pac eventually did, but Cotto rejected for some reason. I don't care that he did, just don't like him using the weight excuse, and he did. He also brought up money, but I can't see how Trout made more sense.

    Again, I was more onboard with Trout than Pac 2, somehow I don't think Cotto got what he bargained for there. IMO Cotto was drunk off his "success" vs Floyd, and forgot why he was carefully matched at 154 in the first place.

    But you agree it should never be at a champs disadvantage to defend at the regulation weight? It's pretty much an admission that he can't hang at that weight and is undeserving of the belt.

    Why would Cotto duck? He already fought him once!
    Plus Pacquiao was being a **** about the weight...

    I think a non-roided Manny gets seriously injured against the big boys he beat down when he was high on peds..
