1b difference Vs Manny when Cotto fought Clottey

im on the other side of the fence here... if its only one pound, might as well make it to 147...

This is gettin beat to death. Cotto said 145 is cool. Pac never shoulda gone fukkin wit a top WW period, but he is so he can't blame anybody but himself if he gets KTFO. Same wit Cotto.

I said its safe to say Pac can make welterweight. You no speaky Englishy? my bad, professor.:)

It's because, this early, the Cotto fans in this site are preparing their excuse already, in case their man loses they will all cry "weight-drain" and won't recognize Pacquiao's greatness. That's stupid I haven't seen any smart cotto fan that have said Pacquiao is not great. He actually is better than ODLH.

As everyone knows, Cotto weighed in at 146 vs Clottey. Against Manny he'll weigh in 1lb less, while Manny will likely weigh in around 142 at the weigh in. Will alot of you still cry weight drain or an unfair fight for Cotto? Why doesnt anyone see Manny's disadvantage of fighting a much bigger fighter. Fight night, we know Cotto will weigh in around 156+, while Manny will be at 149 tops. And alot of you still want Manny to move up to 147 at the weigh in. I dont understand it, why would Cotto be the victim at 145. Everyone seems to have forgotten that Cotto is the bigger fighter and Manny is disadvantaged stepping in against someone alot bigger. The weigh drained myth is over exaggerated, especially over 1-2lbs. To make things fair, Manny would feel comfortable with a 147 weigh in at fight night. Cotto would probably get killed if he weighted in at 147 right before he stepped in the ring, but 147 is the welterweight limit. would a 147 fight night weigh in be fair? It's because, this early, the Cotto fans in this site are preparing their excuse already, in case their man loses they will all cry "weight-drain" and won't recognize Pacquiao's greatness.

then by that logic, why is Cotto fighting at welterweight? Since he hydrates to 160. He should be taking on bigger fighters at light middleweight, or even middle weight. is he being a pussy? you are 100% currect. and its not just Cotto its all of them.

Safe? Cotto can brutally KO Pacquiao just by that massive difference (10-12lbs) in weight! What is safe about that? I said its safe to say Pac can make welterweight. You no speaky Englishy?

Okay, after this post I think we might need to try morse code, failing that strobe lighting. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WETHER PAC FIGHTS COTTO AT 145-147, COTTO IS STILL GOING TO REHYDRATE TO NEARLY 160 ANYWAYS. PAC CAME IN AT 148 ON FIGHT NIGHT AT HIS LAST FIGHT, THATS THE SAME WEIGHT MAYWEATHER COMES IN AT FOR WELTERWEIGHT SO ITS SAFE TO SAY PAC CAN FIGHT AT 147. PAC FIGHTING COTTO AT 145-146 DOESNT STOP COTTO OUTWEIGHING HIM ON FIGHT NIGHT, ITS JUST MEANS COTTO MAY POSSIBLY HAVE TO DRAIN MORE TO GET DOWN TO THE WEIGHT. Safe? Cotto can brutally KO Pacquiao just by that massive difference (10-12lbs) in weight! What is safe about that?

First of I think Weigh-ins should be no more then two hours before the fight and not the BS of 24 or more hours before the fight. On weight it all depends on how hard it is for Cotto to make the weight and how much of him self he is going to leave in the gym. Old example but it applies – Paulie hurt Cotto in the 7th Round – What led to this? A perfect punch!! Or Cotto being spent from making weight!! Chop Chop had Cotto out on his feet – what led to this – a perfect punch - Or Cotto being spent from making weight!! He Who is asking to make the fight should make the weight sacrifice- Plain and simple. If Cotto is calling for PAC then Cotto should make PAC’s weight. If PAC is calling for Cotto then PAC should make Cotto’s weight. As everyone knows, Cotto weighed in at 146 vs Clottey.

cotto already said that he's gonna gain 7-9pds max that's 154 not 160+ like some people said

heh..Manny weighed in at 148 his last fight, DURING FIGHT NIGHT. The day BEFORE, he weighed in at 140, which was JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT. This is what happens in boxing. There's a weigh in, the day BEFORE the fight. Boxers replenish and gain weight. Normally about 8+lbs. So, true, Manny came in at 148 during the fight, but made 140 the day BEFORE to make it a JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT bout What you failed to mention. Cotto weighed in at his WELTERWEIGHT fight with clottey at 146. the day BEFORE the fight. During the fight, it was never said, we're guessing was around 156-160 But in past fights, it was noted that Cotto replenishes around 160+. This is boxers taking advantage of their weight classes. Why Im explaining this to someone who supposedly knows something about boxing is confusing me. so, to break it down. Manny will come in around 148 during the fight, the SAME he weighed in as a JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT during FIGHT NIGHT. Cotto, on the other hand, although weighing in at 145 the day BEFORE the fight, will come in at possibly 160+ at FIGHT NIGHT now, Manny at 148 vs Cotto at 160, we know who has the advantage. if you want to argue that Manny came in before at 147 vs ODLH, we must remind all the idiots that he weighed in at 148 during the fight. It was a once time deal, as he went back down to fight Hatton. Again, since people have trouble reading and understand simple concepts, Let me re-iterate that Cotto will weigh over that, likely at 156+ Okay, after this post I think we might need to try morse code, failing that strobe lighting.

foreal though, why am I explaining weigh ins. Everyone knows Manny weighed in at 148 during his fight night, for a 140 fight. That doesnt make Manny a welterweight. Clottey, mosley, and Cotto dont weigh in at 148 the day of the fight, it's 147 the day before. Then they baloon up to 160. Clottey balooned up to 170 on one of his fight nights. Does that make Clottey a middle weight? I thought this was common knowledge among anyone who knows boxing Am I missing something here...

The point being made is, the 1 pound difference makes no difference to Pacquaio, cotto is gonna outweigh him on fight night regardless, so whats the point? They are trying to weaken Cotto by making him lose that extra lb or 2. When you're dehydrating to make weight, every lb u try to lose is torture.

Exactly. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE COTTO WILL OUTWEIGH MANNY ON FIGHT NIGHT HEAVILY WETHER HE WEIGHS IN AT 145 OR 147. Therefore, since manny weighed 148 in his last fight, and was at welter before that, he could fight at 147 again against cotto. heh..Manny weighed in at 148 his last fight, DURING FIGHT NIGHT.

If any Cotto fan is complaining about Cotto coming in 1lb lighter than he usually comes in, please STFU! I'm a huge Cotto fan, but this is getting rediculous now! If anything, its Pacman who's taking the bigger risk by entering the ring with a man who will be about 158 come fight time.

Stop crying like little bitches!

I think we went over this about a million times. Just re-read the past 7 pages. Exactly. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE COTTO WILL OUTWEIGH MANNY ON FIGHT NIGHT HEAVILY WETHER HE WEIGHS IN AT 145 OR 147. Therefore, since manny weighed 148 in his last fight, and was at welter before that, he could fight at 147 again against cotto.

Right, so you tell me, What or how the f.uck is cotto weighing two pounds less on fight night change any of the above? If manny has such a problem fighting at 147, why did he fight oscar there? If getting cotto down to 143 then 145 isnt about trying to drain him, what the. f.uck is it about then? :ugh: I think we went over this about a million times. Maybe someone with better reading comprehension skills could explain it to you. Just re-read the past 6pages.

Haha, why dont you mention the fact that Cotto will be outweighing Manny by at least 8lbs? 1) He fought weighing in 142 weigh in, 148 fight night. Cotto will not be 148 fight not, likely 156+ 2) no shit, he weighed in at 139 the day before, Hatton was 150 fight night. Again, Cotto is no where near 147 during the fight. 3) he's not a natural welterweight. If Manny once fought at 147 before, you have to point out that Cotto has also fought at 140 before. Meet in the middle, but Cotto is still at 145. 4) If Manny can come in at 147, Cotto should fight Paul Williams at 154. That would be the equivalent, maybe even Benard Hopkins since he can make the weight. Right, so you tell me, What or how the f.uck is cotto weighing two pounds less on fight night change any of the above? If manny has such a problem fighting at 147, why did he fight oscar there?
