Floyd gets more credit for fighting jmm the closer to 135 lbs the jmm/floyd fight is.
Cotto gets more credit for fighting pac the closer to 140 lbs cotto/pac is.
Anything else is hypocritical and is subjecting floyd to a double standard???
The Floyd Part - I agree, the closer the fight to 135 the more the weight disadvantage is ashared between the wtwo fighters suggesting it will be a fairer match
Cotto Part - Only if he wins, if he wins close to 140 it means he had the weight disadvantage and still won. If he loses Pacquaio get little credit from real boxing fans for winnin.
If Cotto loses thats a ready made excuse. My feelin about the Cotto fight is that 145 is not too much of a concession in terms of weight especially since he weighed in 146 for his last fight. Anything below that I wont respect Pac for, but since its at 145 I accept the outcome and IMO the winner wins on merit. No weight issues.
Floyd gets more credit for fighting jmm the closer to 135 lbs the jmm/floyd fight is. Cotto gets more credit for fighting pac the closer to 140 lbs cotto/pac is. Anything else is hypocritical and is subjecting floyd to a double standard??? yeah i agree if pac is too small for cotto then floyd should go to jail for beating on a minor.
why fight a LW when he can fight any Jr WW or WW??
JMM was moving to jr welter to chase Pac. I wish he would have been able to have one fight at that weight to prepare though.
