There was a re-hydration clause, Cotto was drained

:hijacked: Enough of these stupid threads.

Am I reading it wrong? I'm reading it as Cotto was going to be fined if at the weigh-in he came in over 145 and if he came in at 147 at the weigh-in, Roach was going to have the fight called off. That is exactly what I understood

IMO Clottey was Pacman's best win above 140. He did not look like crap when he beat Clottey & Margarito. He looked like superman in those fights. I wouldn't quite say Superman against Margarito. He looked fine, but not great. That fight was the beginning of the end it seems.

Yeah the article says nothing about re-hydration...........damn there so many haters. And cotton has not said one word about being drained. When they were talking about fighting again that's when cotton said he would not drain himself because he was fighting at 154 now. People give it a rest

If only Floyd got balls to fight Paqciao, we would have seen who the real superstar is. Until now, Floyd has no interest in fighting Paq. If you've heard his recent interview, he's back with his ped accusations against Paq. He's getting ready to switch back to ped testing issues just in case Paq calls his zero PPV bluff. The guy is still scared of Paq.

I'm not getting into the Margarito fiasco. But Pacman looked great in those fights with Clottey & Margarito period. Looking good in a fight is not the same as saying the opponent were quality or legit. But he looked great in those fights. He looked better in those fights than Floyd did in a few of his. Finding the same level of opponent. A cherrypick is a cherrypick no matter who does it. If they at least where winning and or had titles I would feel different. The fact that Pac turned down a 50-50 fight to fight a loser in Clottey is a disgrace. The fact that he gave Margarito a pay day is a disgrace. Who hasn't looked good beating Margarito since Mosley destroyed him? Clottey is just garbage and has only won 1 fight since 2008 and that was vs a bum. Can't really argue saying everyone looks good vs Clottey but the point remains it was still a garbage cherry picked fight and I personally don't think he looked good. That fight was about as disgraceful as Calzghe fighting Manfredo. However if the same fat ref had been the third man in the ring, Pac would have won by stoppage too. Point is, it was sh*t and Pac looked more like a clown than superman. It's whatever, all the cherry picking then is hurting him now.

is jinky pacquiao now the spokesperson of the team pacquiao? You call me pathetic, but you're calling his wife a liar?? I didn't ask for your input, you gave it & if you're saying she's lying to defend Pacman, who's more pathetic now??

He didn't look like superman, he looked like a fraud that cherry picked two sh*t fighters that hadn't accomplished anything in years. Not to mention giving a disgraceful coward like Margarito a pay day. Bob Arum even said it wasn't about the other guy having a chance to win but that he made the fights so people can see Pac win. It was disgraceful fights and an embarrassment to the sport of boxing. Which is why I no longer was a fan of Pac's after the Cotto fight. He has been an embarrassment and has looked like a clown since cherry picking Clottey all the way up to fighting a JWW in Bradley and officially "losing". I'm not getting into the Margarito fiasco.

Clottey his best win? Nothing to see here guys. Moving on.

3 fights? Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, JMM and Bradley equate to 5 fights. Due to the opposition, in his last 2 fights he has looked his worst. The other remanning 3 where just sh*t opposition. Like I said, since Pac's CW victory over Cotto in 2009, he hasn't accomplished anything other than validating that he is not as good as Bob made him out to be. So much so that the Mayweather fight isn't even in demand as it once was. People see the truth and now Bob needs that look good fight, i.e. Cotto at a CW. Ironically like 2009, when the Mayweather Pac fight was at its peak. IMO Clottey was Pacman's best win above 140. He did not look like crap when he beat Clottey & Margarito. He looked like superman in those fights.

Bull$#1t. His entire team wants to fight Cotto at mannyweight rematch because they want Manny to look good because he hasn't looked good in 3 fights. Jinky Pacman came out & said they wanted Cotto early this year, not arum. 3 fights? Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, JMM and Bradley equate to 5 fights.

his entire team being who? theres no guarantee he looks good against cotto anyway! he is a top ten p4p fighter. ha, well if his mrs said it, it must be true. Being his entire team, Roach, Pacman, arum, Konck & whoever the fvck else.

you're pathetic. Since when is the truth pathetic?? When you don't like it??

no, its hardly surprising that pac would want a catchweight with cotto because cotto is a junior middleweight, and pac has never been anywhere near junior middleweight weight wise. thats why he wants it at a catchweight. its bob arum that wants him to fight cotto again, beause it makes money.

It's hardly surprising that Cotto is at 154 & Pacman is a welterweight?? But why does Pacman keep trying to get the fight at a catchweight then?? Why does he continue to call on Cotto instead of fighting welterweights?? no, its hardly surprising that pac would want a catchweight with cotto because cotto is a junior middleweight, and pac has never been anywhere near junior middleweight weight wise. thats why he wants it at a catchweight. its bob arum that wants him to fight cotto again, beause it makes money.

You dudes crack me up. Always bringing up Floyd. Pacman has officially asked for 3 catchweights to fight Cotto. Floyd fought him at 154. The fighter of the decade would not. Lol at wouldn't have agreed. What bob wants, he gets. As long as he promotes a fighter. he gets what he wants. Which is why Mosley and JMM had to break ties with GBP and sign with TR in order to get Pac and just like Cotto had to break ties with TR in order to get a fight with Floyd... Not to mention Mayweather leaving Bob Arum in order to get Hatton and Hoya. Funny how Bob Arum was the reason all that had to be accomplished in order for those fights to happen.

well its hardly surprising imo. cotto is at 154 now. pacquiao is not a junior middleweight. and to be honest pac vs cotto 2 is not a fight we need to see, he has already stopped him. It's hardly surprising that Cotto is at 154 & Pacman is a welterweight?? But why does Pacman keep trying to get the fight at a catchweight then?? Why does he continue to call on Cotto instead of fighting welterweights??
