Wouldn't it be just as easy for Manny to gain 0.25 lbs or 1/4lbs, or 2/8 of a lb, or 4/16 of a lb per week to make the weight comfortably by fight night? Manny could gain the 3 lbs in 5 weeks, leaving potentially 7 weeks to gain no weight at all and work on strategy. Why are people crying? Scared? Aint it funny how when a argument is weak it could be reversed so easy? Quit trying to sound smart, keep hoping Manny gets an easy fight against another drained fighter.weight drained or not it is plain and simple: they are talking about November, it is July for arguments sake- 3 months away at least. This means that Cotto must go from a weigh-in weight of 147 to 144 (presumably) which means a total loss of 3 lbs in a span of 12 weeks. This equates to a loss of 0.25 lbs or 1/4 lbs per week to make the weight comfortably by fight night. Cotto could lose the 3 lbs in 5 weeks, leaving potentially 7 weeks to lose no weight at all and work on strategy. Why are people crying? Scared?
keep hoping that this fight does not come off I guess!Comment

To fight in the damn division or look for opposition in your own division..there's a reason for these and weight limits..
This isn't a chess tournament..these guys beat their bodies up to make weight and to have some dude pound on it..**** ain't as easy as it sounds..Comment

First, it is your opinion as to "what is considered weak" and the reality of who is the money draw here. Should the guy with a smaller frame fight at a weight where a guy he is fighting re-hydrates to a middle weight weight at fight night?Wouldn't it be just as easy for Manny to gain 0.25 lbs or 1/4lbs, or 2/8 of a lb, or 4/16 of a lb per week to make the weight comfortably by fight night?

Pac is the draw and it does not matter who he fights, they will have to make the weight losses if they want that check- that is the way it works man; sorry you are a die-hard Cotto fan but it is just the way the dice rolls. I like Cotto, Mosley,Mayweather but none of these guys come close by a "country mile" to drawing like Manny does.
Next time you want to argue, come correct with your original ideas and stop regurgitating someone else's words in attempt to simplify your needed efforts to support your case!!
BY THE WAY: DID PAC FIGHT A WEIGHT DRAINED HATTON WHEN HE KO'D HIM IN UNDER THREE RDS AT HIS "BEST WEIGHT" AND WAS IT NOT MORE OF A CASE THAT DE LA HOYA LOST WEIGHT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HAVE AN EASY FIGHT AGAINST THE SHORTER GUY PACMAN?Last edited by mathed; 06-21-2009, 12:12 AM.Comment

Wow you still dont get it either huh.You want to make thread after thread about Cotto fans making a big issue about the weight. So far I haven't seen anyone ***** about it more then you and of course Freddy Roach. Ask Roach what the big deal is about 3lbs. Take your own advice and stop your bitching....look foward to the fight.
Where have you been? Thread after thread? Lets see TWO threads. Boy thats alot. You dont like it get the fu(k off the thread. Im bitching at the whinney crying bitchy ass Cotto fans like yourself it appears . Other than that I Think it will be a great fight. My TWO threads and you aint seen not one person huh. Check statistics lol and stop your liesComment

My difficulty with the catch weight issue is why the hell make it an issue? When Roy Jones wanted a crack at the heavyweight belt he didn't make Ruiz come down to 190lbs. Hell no he put combat boots on and rolls of quarters in his pockets just to make the limit of 193lbs. to be able to fight Ruiz...that my friends is what I loved about Roy Jones Jr. and why I believe he is ATG....and Manny Pacquiao could do the same since he said to Arum make the ****ing fight Bob. So why is it now that there is an issue with fighting at 147lbs.??? A true great would act just like Roy Jones Jr., just like Henry Armstrong, Just like Duran...who fought from lightweight all the way to Light Heavy and didn't ask all those guys to fight at a catchweight. I believe Manny is truly a great fighter but his team and his fans are ****ing it up for him.Comment

Dude..Manny won't draw **** with out them tho!...he did what like 125k PPV buys against Diaz?..how many would he do against Bradley or Campbell??..150k-200k TOPS!..only die-hards will order those!..First, it is your opinion as to "what is considered weak" and the reality of who is the money draw here. Should the guy with a smaller frame fight at a weight where a guy he is fighting re-hydrates to a middle weight weight at fight night?

Manny needs them just as much as they WANT Manny..yet Cotto can fight Mayweather at 147 aka THE WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT and easily sell 800K+ he can also fight Mosley again!..and sell 500k+..who will Manny fight and sell that big with out Mosley, Cotto, or Mayweather??..Comment

because his team wont let Cotto come in on fight night bigger without paying a price? If he comes in on fight night at 147 then WTF is the problem with it?My difficulty with the catch weight issue is why the hell make it an issue?
