some screen captures of the cotto/clottey weigh in

[rape]

horus calm down.

[mrpain81]

Clottey looks like Ken Griffey Jr when he was on the Simpsons.

[Scott9945]

Cotto too.

He was weighing 160 in the ring back when he was at 140.

HBO stopped weighing Cotto because they were too embarrassed after all the **** they talked about Gatti.

That is false. HBO wants to weigh every non heavyweight boxer on fight night. However it is the fighter's option to decline.

[Scott9945]

seriously how does he keep a body like that

He doesn't. It's like a model or bodybuilder who gear down for one time. Clottey won't look anything like that on Saturday.

[IMDAZED]

No, I did not say he was weight drained, I only said that to maintain that sort of low water/low fat ratio to your body is unhealthy for more then a day. Clottey right now is chugging on these protein shakes like crazy.
But nowhere did I say he was weight drained in the sense that people use it here.

You're right. Immediately after the weigh-in Clottey was drinking pedialyte after pedialyte.

[rape]

pedialyte tastes awesome.

[IMDAZED]

Outboxed my ass..

Tony set the ****in pace...imbecile.

Allow me to inform you of a few things.

The 8 million offer was a MULTI-FIGHT deal which included Hatton and Cotto for 7 million a piece..

Floyd...not being a DAMN FOOL...wanted 10 each....because he realized Hatton and Cotto are worth more that Tony's BROKE no-name ass.

WHY NOT GIVE FLOYD 10 A PIECE FOR HATTON AND COTTO AND MAKE THE DAMN FIGHT?????????

FMJ was being REASONABLE.


Somthing else needs to be explained:

If Tony REALLY wanted Mayweather...

He could have dumped his WBO ****-strap and became Floyd's MANDITORY.

WHY DIDN'T HE?????????

Tony KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT in WBO land while Shane...Forrest....Mayorga....Spinks...Judah...and Baldomir took care of REAL business.

While they kept it real..

Tony was fighting the sorry likes of Hercules Keyvelos...Sebastian Lujuan(3 year rookie at the time) and Manuel Gomez.



Arum would LOVE to have a fighter that could bring Floyd down...

If he thought tony and cotto could beat Floyd he'd move heaven and earth to make it happen.

I agree with some of what you say but for much of the time you mentioned, Floyd wasn't even a welter. Margarito didn't have trouble just making a fight with Floyd, he had trouble making one with anyone. Arum even kept his own fighters away from him because they were worth more. You think Don King was gonna allow any of his fighters (Spinks, Judah, Mayorga, etc) fight Margarito and possibly lose a money stream? Hell nah.

Arum was willing to give Floyd to Margarito because he didn't lose either way. He didn't think much of Tony's drawing power and it's clear he underestimated Mayweather's box-office potential. Once Floyd broke ties, so did any chance of that fight happening.

cotto by ko 9

[intoccabile]

On yes because putting on 30pounds in one day is possible and healthy, no chance.

He weighed 170 against Chico, which means he put on 30lbs.
So.. yeah.. there's a chance.

[intoccabile]

As you watch the weigh-in and when they stand and pose for pics, you can visibly see Cotto is a few inches taller than Clottey

What people fail to realize is clottey has terrible posture. Notice he is slouched over in every shot? The final she he actually straightens his back out. Clottey has been taller than cotto at every press conference aswell
