Not this again. I'll say it one more time the limit is 147, if Cotto exceeds the catchweight the fight will be called off, but it will not be against the governing bodies (WBO's) rules, however the legally binding contract Cotto signed will be breached, and he will be viable to be apprehended in a court of law. The maximum weight is 147, and thats all the WBO cares about that fighters do not exceed the weight. If two fighters agree amungst themselves to not weigh past a certain limit, then that is their decision, and the WBO will treat it as if it is a full flegged WW fight, hence having the belt on the line. It doesn't matter if the fight is at 140.1lbs or 147.o pounds as long as you weight within those seven pounds it WILL be considered a title fight.
Honestly I thought you guys knew more about boxing and how weigh-ins work.
Do you have a link with that rrule please ?
I tried to find it but I didn't have any success.
I wouldn't Juan Manuel Marquez, James Toney, B-Hop, Roy Jones Jr., Antonio Tarver, GLenn Johnson's time might be running out. Edison Miranda, Kermit Cintron, Zab Judah, maybe Paulie Malignaggi, hopefully not.
James Toney, B-Hop, Roy Jones Jr., Antonio Tarver, Glenn Johnson are just too olds, I agree with the others and I think Antony Mundine's too.
I suspect that margo cheated before the mosley fight, but there is no proof that he in fact actually did cheat before the mosley fight.
Yeah, there is no evidence…. again and again, you said it before and I told you that I agree, I just asked for your opinion.
Me I don’t suspect it, I’m sure he cheated before.
No honest fighter turn in a cheater at the end of the career (or almost the end), especially after such an accomplishment !!!!
BTW, I’m not a Cotto fan or Margarito hater.
margo definitely is a cheater, but we only have evidence that he cheated against mosley, not against cotto.
I agree there is no proof, but tell me: do you really believe that he was honest until the Mosley fight????
Me, I think he's born a cheater !!!
It doesn't make any sense that a boxer who was able to become the champion of the strongest division without cheating to take such a risk to ruin a brilliant career.
It doesn't make any sense that a boxer who was able to demolish Cotto, the undefeated champion, in his prime, to cheat against the old Mosley one of Cotto victims.
Well, in a court those aren’t evidences but on a boxing forum I think it works.
So, you still believe he was innocent until Mosley fight ??????????????
There is no evidence that he cheated before Mosley fight, so I can’t prove it (not yet), but I strongly believe that he did it, not only against Cotto but long time before.
Like I said in another thread: no honest boxer turns in a cheater at the end of the career (or almost the end) after becoming the champion of the strongest division.
I don’t try to convince anybody, I just picture my feelings and I’m sure there are many boxing fans who think like me.
He should stay at 175, he have a better chance of winning a belt there and less risky, because comming down in weight, is no easy task. look how DLH end up against a Junior lightWeight.
The safest bet for ROy is beat a top ten contender at LHW and aim for Dawson, because Dawson is less likely to KO roy. Jermain or Froch could really hurt Roy.
Is this a joke or what ???????????
BCD and his grandma will demolish Froch and Taylor at double!
Hatton's gonna crack PAC like JChing's feelings when someon predict a PAC win :D
Of course he will.....

Well, seems they just got 2 referees in Montreal, Marlon and another old man, grey haired, dunno his name, but he's famous for stopping fights too early, guess he's been watiching too many uk fights.
And just to compensate Marlon B. Wright doesn’t stop it if the fighters still have pulse.
