    give and take , buddy.

    manny is at 140. cotto is at 147.

    144 is a nice , fair weight to meet.
    The fact of the matter is that if Pac wants to continue boxing the best he has to move up weight. It makes no sense look for challenges in higher weight divisions and ask for them to drop down to meet your conditions. The fact of the matter is that PBF, Cotto, and Pacman can all do just fine without facing each other. (Hope it doesn't happen cuz these are good fights.) However, since Cotto and PBF are WW if Pacman decides to fight either of them he is the one that needs to step up to the weight. If not he can go back down in weight and try finding other mega fights with names like these.
    Pac will not struggle at all at 147.

      Yeah I noticed the size similarity a few months ago at the conferences but this just proved my thoughts as well. Clottey and Cotto are about the same size so this fight will really be about executing gameplans and being the better fighter.

        They both look in shape. I still think Cotto has an edge. And damn shame they wont transmit Calderon vs Mayol.

          Jake donavan next time you want to mention any champion from any organism, just do it in a proper and respectful way as wbo or ibf, etc. These boxers work very hard for their belt for someone like you and others mention this like an alphabet. I bet you if you go in a ring with the worse boxer in the world you will be ko in the first round. Being a boxer is not a joke, is very hard.

            **** man, the way I see it is Cotto messed up by coming in at 146. That right there is gonna cause Pacquiao to try to drain him even more if they ever negotiate to fight. I gotta say, it sucks that Clottey is being left out of a potential Pacquiao match up. But I think Cotto will win fair and square regardless. I don't like the way Clottey has been talking lately. It's like the guy lacks belief in himself. Cotto and Mosley need to get it on after this sparring session is over with. And it needs to happen in Vegas.

              I heard that Clottey had to run all the way up to the weigh in because he was having trouble making weight!

              Hes gonna gas midway through the fight

                      after wattching the weigh in video 2 things surprised me; 1. After putting his shoes on Cotto was quite a bit taller than Clottey, weird. 2. Clottey seemed nervous, Im sure it happens but to me it shows a little lack of focus. He needs to get mean and ready to walk through some serious shots if he wants to win this one.
