ok got ya............

B-Hop is a lot more spartan and much more of a gym rat then Oscar. To me you can't even compare Oscar to B-Hop in this regard. I also believe that B-Hop is more mentally tough, which would allow him to overcome such things. Oscar at the point he fought Pacman was pretty much a softy with silk briefs on~.

Cotto should be thankfull that he isn't being brought down to 141. If he has a problem with weighing in at 143-145 then he can rematch Clottey or Mosley it's that simple.

[The Gambler1981]

I do not think Cotto compares to B-Hop either in regard to his ability to manage his body. B-Hop is the best at this kind of thing, Cotto could be fine but B-Hop is an entirely different animal then Cotto (when it comes to training, lifestyle and most likely diet ~ B-Hop is a freak).

[The Gunner]

Cotto aint even a big Welterweight!

144 is makeable for him and he'd still be strong.

I realize just made the mistake of comparing Bernard Hopkins to any fighter ( Maybe except for Pac and PBF in terms of preparations and training).

BHop is just a different kind of animal. He's a freak actually the latter version would be a greater treat to RJJ than the one who lose to him.


I guess whoever wins (Cotto-Pac) the winner wont get the deserved props.

all these cotto will be drained at 144-i45 is just an preemptive excuse by those fans who are worried that pac might beat up cotto.

I have concluded that Cotto fans are scared. It's that simple. Marquez was smaller than Pacquiao and he would have no problem moving up to 140 to fight him and it would be a 50-50 fight. Pacquiao fought his last fight weighing in at 138 lbs and had to eat two breakfasts to do it. pacquiao is a natural light weight, and Cotto comes into fights at 165, and his fans complain about 3 lbs? Ffs Hatton fans had a lot more heart.
