    That is NOT the weight they fight at ,, its the weight they weigh-in at 30 hrs earlier ,,,,, big difference !! Manny fights at 147 while Shane and Cotto fight close to 160 ,,,, its not hard to work out

      pac can't make 126 lbs anymore so he shouldn't fight 126 lbers. Mosley and Cotto can't make 140 lbs anymore, so they shouldn't be fighting a 140 lber like Pac.

        They should fight each other and Mayweather should fight the winner of Mosley - Cotto II .. That way they don't have to bother fighting this little dude who's only interested in fighting dehydreted fighters..

Mosley, Cotto, and to some extent even Mayweather can't and shouldn't get below 147. Manny fought at that weight before and excelled, but all of a sudden it's too much to ask? Fine, everybody should realize that they are in different weight classes and move on.
          catchweights can be a title fight.

          welterweight is 141-147.

          either way cotto and shane can't make 140 and 142.

          if this fight happens it'll be 143-144 for cotto or 145 for mosley.

          roach is just asking for the lowest he can get.

          plus this might just be negotiation tactics for the upcoming mayweather-pacquiao fight.

            And the result of that is , Cotto and Mosley would be dehydrated by 12pounds ,, look Cotto and Mosley are bigger a lot bigger there is no even fight no matter how you carve it up .

              Pavlik wouldn't be a big fight for either fighter. I believe both Cotto and Mosley would kill Pavlik too.

              If this isn't a feasible fight, maybe Pacquiao's own camp should drop the subject.

              It's pretty obvious that neither Cotto or Mosley can make 142/140

                    You sure it works like that?

                    I thought they have two different divisions for "WW": "JrWW" and "WW" or 140 pounds and 147 pounds?

                    Never heard of a catchweight title.

                    Cotto has the belt at WW/147 pounds. That's also where he is healthy.

                    Team Pacquiao's intention is to purposefully have these fighters unhealthy for the fight.

                      When does this nonsense with Roach end? Maybe he can start putting in the contract that the opponent cant throw more than 20 jabs a round, or that they cant throw the left hook. lol

                      Bottom line is this: If you are not willing to fight someone in their natural division, then keep their name out of your mouth.
                      exactly, if mosley and cotto can't fight pac at 140 lbs, they should keep pac's name out of their mouths.
