    You just dont get it do you?? He fought at 147 because he didnt want to miss out on the payday and Oscar was the one calling the shots in the fight...Now that Pacman has reached stardom...He's the one in the driver seat and makes the damands, not the other way around.

    Why does he have to? Pacman can fight anyone he wants to. What has Cotto done to deserve a fight with the top guy in boxing now?

    If Cotto doesn't want to go down a bit to 143-144 in weight against Pac which is a lightweight to begin with. Then he's throwing away a big paycheck.

    They are beginning to be realistic. Cotto would overwhelm Pac. He is actually genuine threat.

    You guys are kind of asking too much from pac, he's already jumped so much weight. To me he's proved himself

    settlement is the answer here. Cotto say 145 or up and roach say 143-144 pounds but in thailand where pac was welcome as a hero, he says is willing to fight mayweather, mosley or cotto at 140 to 145 pounds....may be after cotto vs clottey fight...arum will start meeting this poeple....let see....:thumbsup

    Don't knock Cotto my friend, this guy has fought some tough contenders at the beginning of his career, where he was truely tested. He came back from being rocked and dropped, to knocking the other guy out. That's heart.

    True, he's got that warrior mentality, he's fought Mosley, Marg, and now will fight Clottey. He's also an exciting fighter, right up there with Pac and Darchinyan.

    Yes, very humble too. Even after the plaster incident he denied any chance of Margo possibly cheating. Because he feels either way he should have won, plaster or not. Geez this man inspires me so much

    Exactly! Pac basically is a lightweight although he currently fights at 140 while Cotto is a middleweight who fights at 147!

    And to be truly fair, the official weigh-in should be done at fight time just like the the good old days!:yep
