Cotto says 147 in order for WBO belt to be on the line

Damn right Cotto,for the championship welterweight crown,welterweight limit should be contracted!!Pacman doesnt have to weight 147,but for the 147 belt the limit should be 147,Pacman can weigh 143-146 if he likes,but the champ shouldn't have to go down to his weight to defend!! Great post and I co-sign:439:

I agree. I'm sure Pac doesn't give a crap but Roach may talk him out of it. I do hope its @ 147, I want him to win that title and I don't want people to have a "catchweight" excuse. I bet PBF would shit his pants if Pac knocks out a 147 Cotto then calls him out after the fight :) Whoever wins, PBF's gonna shit his pants when he gets called out post-fight.

pac's getting destroyed anyway right? So why not put the belt on line if they are so confident about winning. IMO with or without the belt, this will be an exciting fight period It's called negotiating. I don't think either fighter knows the meaning of the word fear or consider belts that important. It is for Manny because he didn't win one against DLH on his only 147 fight so far.

pacquiao should just let michelle fight at 147. michelle is gonna get fucked up either way anyway. I agree. I'm sure Pac doesn't give a crap but Roach may talk him out of it. I do hope its @ 147, I want him to win that title and I don't want people to have a "catchweight" excuse.

I'm glad to hear that Cotto is standing his ground. If you want the belt then the champ should be able to come in at 147.

Agree completely with Cotto. The belt is for the WBO champion from 141-147, not 141-145. This fight is going to be fantastic regardless.

Great if they want the belt they need to go by the rules and fight at 147... I can already see Freddie trowing in the towel to save Manny from all the punishment... this is going to be one hell of a good fight.. may the best man win... but I got Miguel Angel Cotto..

Well that has to be the case for me also, If they want the WBO then they cant put a restriction on what cotto can weigh in. cosign....

both r my fav fighters. i have to agree pac has to come to 147... i kno freddie is tiight right now :lol1:

I don't think Cotto will be drained at all for this fight. But I agree with him. Make the fight at 147 if you want the title

Keep the belt anyway there all bullshit..

Well that has to be the case for me also, If they want the WBO then they cant put a restriction on what cotto can weigh in. I think 145 is a fair weight to fight at but Pac's people can't talk out of both sides of their mouth. WBO belt = 147; that's only fair to the champ who won and defended the belt against true WW contenders. They screwed up by concentrating on the split aspect rather than weight and the belt. 145 or 147, Pac's getting destroyed.

Well that has to be the case for me also, If they want the WBO then they cant put a restriction on what cotto can weigh in.

win or lose panda got respect for the cottobot for stickin his ground and not bein tempted by the money
