I know that 1 or 2 pounds can be dramatic and very important. But why is that the case? How is it possible that a fighter can come in at 144 and be too weak, but come in at 147 and be bigger and stronger than his opponent? Ne answers will be appreciated.

Why is seemingly miniscule weight differences dramatically change outcomes?

Because most of them walk around at much higher weights, and lower weights means they have to eat less and burn more which makes them weaker.

Originally posted by Nuurzhaelan View PostGood, then perhaps Pacquiao will fight at 147 since it doesn't matter? Really, since it does not matter then it should be no problem and all the accusations leveled at Cotto would be held true if Pacquiao defeated Cotto at the LEGITIMATE WW championship weight LIMIT of 147. Too bad that will never happen because roach knows that Cotto will lose edge if he comes down two pounds. I think Cotto will still win, but roach fears Cotto at 147.
don't give a **** whether this fight is at 145 or 147.
nor do i care if it's for a title or not.
go talk that crap to someone who cares.
