Cotto Will Be Scouted By Team Pacquiao on June 13

[Datu Puti]

so basically, its ok for pac to have an outright advantage when hes at 130/135, but when he wants to fight welterwieghts, they essentially have to come down to jr welter, throw themselves at a disadvantage even though pac is more than capable of making welterweight?

you tell me dont act dumb, i understand this is what fighters do, but the **** is the point of saying "ok cotto, come down to 142, even though you will rehydrate to 158, the same weight you would rehydrate to even if this fight was at 147"

i dont care how many weight division pac has moved up, it kind of removes the signifigance of pac beating welters if every single one has to come down in weight to fight him, hes better off just taking on other guys at 140 who would be more than happy to accomodate him at that weight. Cotto has already shown he is NOT healthy below 147, so why force him to come down for the sake of an advantage? cotto is coming in at 158 no matter what.

this guy is a perfect example of a moron, read the middle paragraph. if he a fighter at 142 rehydrate to 158...at 147 which is five pounds heavier than 142 add 5lbs to 158...163lbs..size difference...you must have failed science and math class. "peeleft:

I'm sure this was said before but did not feel like reading the whole post. But if pac wants to fight welters he needs to move up to 147. I can hear roach saying, "we'll fight Pavlik if he will come down to 147". If you want to call a fighter out to get a fight, you need to fight at their weight. If I were cotto I would say, "I fight at 147 and if you dont want to fight at WW then chase someone else".

Roach only fought DLH knowing that he would be a zombie trying to make weight. He only fought Hatton knowing that he blocks punches with his face and runs into them. He will only fight Mosley or Cotto if he knows they will be weak from trying to loose all that weight.

wow.......if Cotto agrees to fight under 147 he's a fool.......straight up!.....if Pac wants a big dude's name on his resume then he should fight at the bigger dudes weight.......he'll get more props........

Here is a novel idea...40-40 and the winner gets the other 20...SEEMS SIMPLE TO ME!

No, i think the winner takes it all! By that, there's no excuses of losing because it's not an opton to pay all your training expenses from nothing! I think this is fair enough!

What he want to tell is, even Cotto dehydrating himself from 142 or 147, he would ends up rehydrating the same at 158lbs during fight time!
