During official weigh in:
Pac about 141-142.
Cotto at 147.
During fight night:
Pac will weigh in around 148, gaining 1 pound over the ww limit.
Cotto will gain 10 pounds or more over the ww limit.
Yes, it is a fair fight.
my thoughts are this.
if you pacman wants to fight for the WW title then do it at 147. come in at the weigh in at 147 (or under obviously it is your choice to do so remind you) and fight for the title.
Dont try to get a bargin and ask cotto to make 143 (as pacman and company had originally requested) when you know darn well that cotto moved UP from 140 because he was complaining of being weight drained for his last few fights at 140.
so if he gets weight drained trying to make 140 then does anyone honestly think a whole 3 extra pounds will prevent him from being weight drained?
really now?
pacman doesnt have to fight cotto. he can fight mosley or mayweather is he wishes or he can stay at 140 and fight whoever he wishes there.
im so tired of all the complaining about this fight around here and in the general boxing world.
Yes pacman is the top p4p fighter in the sport and cotto (at least in my eyes) is the best WW in the sport (even though mosley is ranked higher the loss to cotto doesnt make sense to me as to why he'd be ranked higher than him) and if they are going to fight at WW then allow cotto to come in at the limit of WW which is 147.
Floyd came in light againt oscar and stayed low during unoffical weighins the day of the fight and did he have problems with oscar? did it impair his ability to fight? no. so i dont see this being any different. Cotto needs the extra lbs and if pacman is as good as his ranking says (as was mayweather) then those extra lbs he's giving away to cotto shouldnt affect him as much as it would affect cotto to lose that weight.
right?
So let me get this shit right. It was Ok for Pacquiao to weight 144 when he fought Morales and marquez at 130 buut is not fair for Cotto to weight 153-157 for a WW fight?
I mean dont be such hipocrit!!!!
Its Ok for Manny to outweight people but Cotto cant out weight him?
Manny Will be like 148-150 fight night, Cotto will be 52-155 because he will nee to be light.
The weight difference wont be more than 5-7 pounds
NOw STFU, wanting weight drain fighter is a bitch move!!!!!!
more like 160 :lol1:
Larry is getting my support on this one.
If 147 is unfair for him, then he has 135 and 140 to play with
Floyd at the very very least never asked a fighter to cut weight for him and is even giving up some pounds to JMM. Very hard to do when you've been out of the loop for 2 years.
Agree. I like Pac but if its for the belt then fight at the weight like he did for Oscar. He has fought at the weight before so I don't get why he wouldn't agree to it this time for the title. If he doesn't care about the belt then whatever mae it a non title catch weight attraction.
Que lo que? jajaj Why ?
Pacquiao at 130 was damn WW (Fight Night), the so called "Little Man" was actaully the bigger guy, outweighing most of his opponents. All of a sudden, he doesn't want to be the smaller guy. Just saying, I'm happy people are finally realizing this.
All I'm saying is, if Pacquiao is so called "Greater then Mayweather", fight bigger men, Mayweather has been outweighed by 10-20 lbs, I'm sure the greater Pacquiao should be able to deal with that eh?
bump
Its a fair fight because Pac is seeking the belt. If he doesn't want to play with the big kids at 147 then there are plenty of quality 140 opposition.
.
Thats why its fair. Thanks for the post.

Your waking up now Ch@mp :rofl:
i stand corrected
i see your lies finally caught up to you? where's the proof or are you trying to rewrite history. floyd didnt fought the #1 fighter in 154
i stand corrected
puck facquaio
Cotto Mayweather needs to happen and shouldve happened.
Im tired of the manila hype cause thats all he is at the WW division.
ok gimme a second
i just cant see anyone with reasonable logic putting oscar at #1 with a 2 yr layoff and a victory against mayorga. if i remember it correctly oscar was # 5 that year.
spinks, ouma, karmazin, were ahead of him
no floyd won the linear belt at 147..then went up to 154 and got another belt...you fail
so how many division did he get a title 5? oh you failed pac fought bigger competition and won 6 titles in 6 different weight class. 4 lineal.. how many lineal title floyd got?
floyd fought plenty of top dogs..the linear champ at 147..the #1 ring magazine fighter at 154..oh that isnt good enough right..lol..dont forget he ko'd hatton 2 years before pacman aswell..he beat a solid champ in gatti at 140 beat the ring champ at 135 and beat the top fighters at 130..so who are the top dogs he didnt fight???
proof that oscar was the top dog at 154.. he was the biggest attraction but he wasnt ranked #1 by the ring. prove it!
no your the on crying that cotto will outweight pacman by 10 pounds on fightnight..but floyd beats baldo who outweight him by 17 pounds and oscar outweighted him by 13..
LOL, i started a thread about Cotto and Pac and you came in here with Mayweather. I didn't even say anything about PBF until you started posting about him. And even against JMM at a catchweight, i defend PBF about that cuz JMM is the one who called him out.
I posted the "outweight by 10 pounds' cuz some fans complaining about the 145 or 143 is an advantage for Pac. But their not mentioning that the 10 pounds or more is an advantage for Cotto.
Larry is getting my support on this one.

Floyd at the very very least never asked a fighter to cut weight for him and is even giving up some pounds to JMM. Very hard to do when you've been out of the loop for 2 years.
if he's too big for 135 and doesnt wanna fight anyone at 140..then move up or retire
floyd was too big for 140 but too small for 147 so the solution is to fight a lightweight? it's either move up to 147 like you said or stay retired
jmm wont bitch if it went up to 147 and threaten to cancel the fight
JMM is not bitching cuz PBF is not demanding it at 147. If that happens, then JMM would surely bitch about it.
