Roach's Weight Demand Could Collapse Pacquiao vs. Cotto

[WhoreUs]

I don't think fighters are scared of other fighters from a physical point of view. But they are aware of the consequences if they lose. Why does Pacquiao go out of his way to leap over all of these guys like Soto and Campell? There were two occasions of where Soto was slated as Manny's opponent, and Pacquiao saw dollar signs with De La Hoya and a disinterested Barrera. I wonder if it's Pacquiao's fans who are afraid of him taking a loss. He is that important to the Phillipines, I'll admit. But I can't respect fighters that fight for themselves and not the fans. Pacquiao is an exciting fighter inside the ring, but his behavior outside of it leaves a lot to be desired.

believe me. soto and campbell were NOT bigger risks than delahoya.

people just revising history because oscar didn't show up.

everyone thought manny had no chance against oscar. i thought oscar would take manny's head off.

when could a soto fight have been made?

don't forget that washed up barrera was still ranked higher than soto at 130.

when did soto even get a belt at 130? end of 2008?

manny left 130 after the marquez fight in june.

campbell was not even top ranked at 135 'til he beat juan diaz. that was when march 2008?

come on now.

Soto and Campbell also dont bring a penny to the table

[Dorruel]

doubt it.

*******s think pac can beat pavlik at 160. lol

some to think about it you may be right. It will just make Pacs fall even sweeter

143-144 for me is fair.

right in the middle of 140 and 147.

if the fight is at a catchweight , fine. if it's at 147 , fine.

i don't care.



tired of arguing the same thing over and over again.

roach is doing his job. he's trying to do what is best for his fighter.

to me it's unnecessary. i don't think 2 lbs. will make a difference.

whether at a catchweight or 147 , it's a 50/50 fight for me.



pacquiao has nothing to lose. if he loses , he's not suppose to be fighting at 147 anyway.

roach will say whatever he wants. that's roach. doesn't change my opinion of pacquiao.

Good post.

Cotto fans dont want Cotto to be drained i dont see a problem with that. If the fight was sighned at 147 i guarantee you the *******s would FALL BACK

First of all, I think you ought to dead this "*******" ****, it's making you look cheap and I can't respect you nor take you seriously.

Secondly, I, like Mr. Pink, don't give a crap about the weight. There is no falling back, I'll be betting on Manny winning regardless of weight. Don't be painting all Pacquiao fans with the same brush!

when did paquiao fight david diaz? summer of 08? he could of fought nate campbell,juan diaz or cassamayor

Henry Armstrong fought his Welterweight fights weighing 133lb, so he gave up 14lb.

he also fought a welterweight who had what 21 losses & was 5'7 at the most compared that to oscar's physical statistics.

this fight will go on. 144/45 lbs. & This weight drained argument is ridiculous. Ive never heard it so prominently blabbered about before the oscar fight.

Weight drained will only be used if the same situation happend to miguel cotto where he only gained 1 pound during rehydration.

I doubt that happens.

Cotto is no oscar. He's 28 in his prime. He will rehydrate to 154/55 & Pacquiao will get his proper due win or lose.

U can dissect any fighter, any great fighter's resume & find imperfect little details.

Henry Armstrong fought his Welterweight fights weighing 133lb, so he gave up 14lb.

different era. also same day weigh ins.

armstrong fought a lot of his fights at 147 weighing 136-140.

his opponents were around 141-147.

fighters back then fought at the same weight pretty much they weighed in at.



when armstrong fought for the middleweight belt he only weighed around 140 BUT his opponent only weighed around 155 more or less.

lightweights now are the size of middleweights from the old days.

times have changed.

That's why I was asking "why are we sat here arguing over ONE ****ing pound of Cotto's body fat?" -- it's ******! He already said he'd do 144. How hard is it to get to 143 or just keep negotiating until he gets his wish to fight at 144?

I'm wasting my time here. We all are. This fight will get made and it will be at 144. I said this ****ing ages ago!
