    They wanted Margarito, Cotto and Mosley to drop to 142 pounds.

    Yet they fought Oscar at 147.

    I smell something fishy and its coming from Pacs trunks.
    Cotto could reasonably make 142, but could you imagine Margarito weighting in at 142. The man looks deat at welterweight as is.

      Is damn right scary.

      Power...speed...reflexes.

      Co-sign homey. So why not make the fight there if it's gonna happen? It's for Pac's title and no size excuses to discredit Mr boat buyer if he won.

        He was crying for his performance. Not for beating Gatti. And, remember, he had been going through a lot of that courtroom drama.

        IMHO.

          It's unbelievable to me that people can't understand that BOTH FIGHTERS ARE 148 POUNDS.

          Is it the American educational system? What do people not understand about that?

              Whats funny is that the heavier Floyd weighs...the more of a chance Pac has.

              At 140...he loses in 3 rounds or less.

                  Cotto could reasonably make 142? Dear me, I take it you stumbled across this boxing forum by accident then and just start posting randomly? Cotto is a stocky guy, he was finding it very hard to make 140. He has been at 147 for years now. Getting down to 142 now would kill him. This has to be a joke.

                  In my eyes Roach is just being sly but it's very clear he has an extradinary eye for handpicks. But now the big boys, prime elite fighters, want to play - Roach will pull all kinds of tricks and gain every advantage possible. The fight should be no lower than 145 - if Pac wants to fight Welters, let him fight welters - not drained skeletons.

                  I'm a big Pac fan by the way.

                    Ain't Mr boat buyer's ****suckers always insisting it's cruel & unusual punishment for your boy to fight a top WW? You don't want him to silence his critics by doin that, and now you don't want him to have an unquestionable win over Pac? Do your thing Dios. It ain't worth you gettin mad over homey.

                      Oh. My. God. This is nut-huggery taken to a new level. When was the last time Floyd knocked someone out in 3 rounds? Um.. probably some lesser fighter early in his career. The very idea of Floyd knocking Pac out in 3 rounds is ridculous. If you think Floyd would be the same '140 Floyd' you saw destroy Gatti you don't know boxing. I can't believe the ******ation in this thread. If anything Pac would knock Floyd out based on current evidence.
