    143-144 is okay. it's right in between 140 and 147 so it's fair.

    he probably just asked for 142 first but what he really wants is 143-144.

      He won't because he knows he'd put himself at a massive disadvantage. What's the point of fighting if you're so weight-drained you can't fight?

        I agree, If it goes down, it happens at 144/45 or nothing.

              I don't even see why Cotto is entertaining the thought of fighting Manny, other than for the money, obviously.

              Does he forget how he was killing himself to make 140, and how it effected his chin, stamina, and power?

              If he shed the extra weight down to 142, it wouldn't be illogical to expect similar results.

                  Manny already fought at 147, why shouldn't he fight Cotto at 147? It doesn't make sense and it's a big cop-out.

                  I don't think Manny will be happy with this because I don't think he cares what weight it is, but Roach and Arum will probably push for 142-144.

                    143 is only 4 lbs.

                    all he needs to do is take it off correctly and properly.

                    weight drain excuse is so overrated ever since the pac-delahoya fight.

                    when miguel had problems making 140 he wasn't taking care of himself in between fights. he does now.

                    he'll be in tip top shape after the clottey fight. all he has to do is not put on so much weight in between that fight and the possible pac fight.
