Just out of curiosity..don't try and make this a "oh so you're saying he was drained" thread..he obviously wasn't..he lasted on his feet for 12 rounds and didn't look fatigued..just beat..
with that said..he did look considerably smaller than his previous fights..I'm guessing he didn't add the lbs he should have to impose his size and power..
I clearly thought he'd go up to 157-159lbs but he didn't look any where near that size..I'm guessing more like 150-152lbs..
Discuss.
Kieran Mulvaney over at ESPN said during ESPN's coverage for the fight that the rumor was Cotto gained about 15 pounds overnight so that would make him 160.
Lets cut the crap , Cotto was weight drained period. The man was looking thinner then Pacquiao . Every one knows Cotto has no power or stamina when he's not fighting at his natural weight. This whole fight was a setup by Roach who did everything possible to give Manny his advantages .

cotto looked great, he looked strong and he looked solid in rounds 1-4. Pacman just rattled his cage, and Cotto could not adjust
to me Cotto seemed in top physical shape
LMAO!..how does that signal he's too heavy?..and show me where it was stated that he refused to..
they do fight night weights in EVERY damn fight almost.
pacquiao had a fight night weight. 149. filipino tv stated it.
why else wouldn't they have a fight night weight unless cotto refused to go on the scales.
like he always does.
Pacquiao weighed in unofficially and it was released on one of the filipino feeds I think. Cotto refused to signaling he was heavy.

someone said that the filipino commentators said pac's fight night weight was 149.

I can confirm this. Chino Trinidad (one of the commentators) said he asked Buboy directly. 149.
No way he was only 1-2lbs heavier than Manny. Manny was probably 148-150. Cotto looked much much bigger.

He looked bulkier against Urkal
But he did look more ripped (more muscle?) against Pac. Muscle does weigh more than fat, so....who knows.
I say 154.
Weird thing is, he looked healthier and more muscular no homo at the Pac weigh in than he did in the Margo weigh in.

Maybe it was Landman who decided not to bulk him back up to the max.
?
:dunno:
:nonono:
I said from Day 1 to leave that catchweight bullshyt alone to kill these questions before they could be born, but nope. Team Pac those fukkers didn't listen to me.
