People seem to forget that Cotto fought Margarito at a CW, less than a year ago

Cotto initially said he wanted a 150lb CW for Margarito. They ended up fighting at a CW of 153lbs, with a special rehydration clause of 160 max (requested by Cotto). http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/6921196/miguel-cotto-wrangles-catchweight-antonio-margarito Why did Cotto fight Margarito at a CW of 153 (not a real weight class) and added in a special rehydration clause? Keep in mind this is a SHOT one eyed Margarito. Over and over on Pac-Cotto 24/7 he stated that "weight is 100% not an issue." Did Cotto feel he needed the advantage against a one eyed shot Margarito? Please discuss the topic only, no bashing or name calling. Here's a good post to explain the situation. cotto wasnt drained at all this is what drained looks like... http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/2f/7e/2f7eb289e74265381e7be8fdf5546c5f.jpg now here's what cotto looked like http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Manny+Pacquiao+v+Miguel+Cotto+Weigh+KtL16T0vi9_l.jpg he looks to be in great shape he's not pale and lifeless he's got plenty of color looks to be in great shape

http://d2fmj9q21jcbgm.cloudfront.net/AcuCustom/Sitename/DAM/134/MargaritoAntoniowiMosleyHo_lx.jpg Does he looks drain? SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE on 2:02!!!!! Javier Capetillo Breaks Silence on some issues - On the Mosley fight " weight was a problem for that entire camp. He put on a lot of weight, not just water pounds but muscle, after he beat Cotto. He had to chop 20 pounds before he left Mexico to begin his camp for Mosley, and then he dropped another 30 in camp. He kept dropping weight and dropping weight until he had nothing," said Capetillo, adding that Margarito also had back problems that caused him to miss crucial training days. "Then he would gain back whatever weight he lost the previous week. He was 16 pounds over one week before the fight, and the closer we got to the weight, the sicker he got from dehydration," said Capetillo. "Four or five days out from the fight it was like he had the flu. He was shrinking before our eyes." http://www.boxing forum.com/boxing-forum-general-discussion/22634-mosley-beat-drained-injured-sick-margarito.html

World's ****tiest, poorly constructed hammer that falls apart before being swung. Pac fanboys are known for being grammar nazis? WTF You're just a non-boxing fan who hates a man and is obsessed about it. I find you in every thread related to Pacquiao and/or weight issues, saying the same **** with hundreds of commas. The "facts" are retarded, and even if they weren't, they're buried underneath the worst grammar I've ever seen in my whole goddamned life. THE IRONY IS FIERCE HERE Why dont you send me another kiddie PM lol .,

And people seem to forget that margarita fought manny right before at 150lbs. Yea the Cotto fight was a "catch weight" but the fact is the Margarita was going UP in weight from his previous fight. So throw that catchweight excuse out the door.

He wanted a advantage or Margarito and he didnt try to hide either cause it was a revenge thing and even told them he was going for the eye. First post - Murked and ignored.

Type a proper sentence and maybe you'll be worth arguing with. Just remember, the website you're currently posting on has Pac at #1 p4p. Why is that?

I think it's pretty obvious he wanted to **** with Margarito in any way he could 'cause of the wraps incident which he made very clear. It'snot like he employs that as a tactic when he fights.

god damn, Cotto looked strong like a bull against Pac. If he was weight drained against Pac he would have been knocked out by exhaustion. He wasnt. He lasted all 12 rounds till the stoppage and survived mostly by running away.

lol gotta love the NSB logic. styles don't make fights, it's about an extra pound or so, trainers, etc. Cotto looked damn sharp the first few rounds against pac, same old cotto. Problem was he got knocked down then went into retreat mode. but hey it was this excuse it was that excuse. look at your sig for crying out loud. Great post. :boxing: Yeah! great posts if someone was looking for excuses but nothing explains why IF THE WEIGHTS MEAN NOTHING THEN WHY IS PAC AND ROACH SO Adamant ABOUT THE FIGHT BEING AT A CERTAIN WEIGHT?or they wont fight...lol I mean after all "it means nothing:bounce:.....no sense.

you can usually tell if someone is weight affected, the people that say cotto was drained and that's why he lost are just a bunch of man children being their *****ful, over-pampered selves and should be payed no heed and anyone that thinks pacquiao could make 154 without being fat(or lumbering), is also an idiot How can you tell using the pac fanboy criteria ? a specially selected photo ? lol ! Look at Cotto the boxer at 145 coming of a career stopping beating without a trainer and then 154 Cotto last time out with a real trainer , and look in these areas ,, strength , endurance , snap and sharpness , resistance , speed , recovery , mindset ! Any fool can see as plain as day the Cotto that fought Floyd beats the mortal crap out the Cotto that fought Pac , and you dont have to be Einstein to see it !!!

I guess for some reason ts believes that Cotto & Pacman are on the same level, for some strange reason.
