Ok, it's like this I don't like Floyd Mayweather Jr. Do I respect his skills? YES. Fan of him? NO. On the other side I have always liked Manny Pacquiao, but lately I been losing alot of respect for him with all this weight draining fighters. Im sure that if it was up to him he would fight the fighters at there normal weight i'm sure it's Freddy Roach more than him, but he would not let this happen. I mean DLH was weight drained and the whole thing with a million each pound over was crazy. Now he wants to weight drain Mosley and Cotto. Some people are going to say he just wants to even the playing field if it's like that then the ww titles should not be on the line because the max limit is 147 at ww he should let them weight whatever they want I mean after all it's him that called out Cotto after the Clottey fight. Atleast Floyd fought DLH at his weight he didn't make him come down to that weight or put no stipulation like million per pound he went up to his weight and beat DLH. Also he fought Hatton at 147 which is not Hatton's best weight but it is easier moving up in weight than it is going down especially when your already rehydrating around 10 pounds in 24 hours it just kills your body and drains your energy and you feel weak. Floyd might duck fighters, but when he fights them he doesn't drain them he actually gives them a chance to be strong and fight healthy while Pac's team is trying to beat their opponent's at the scale.

I think Pac should fight Mosley instead so that the whinning will get passed on. And Cotto should just fight Berto or Williams. -
stop crying dude. If you dont like the weight then dont fight him. Its as simple as that. I dont know why you guys keep talking about the title so much. Do you honestly think that really matters? Do you really think people are going to have some kind of extra respect for Cotto if Pac knocks him the **** out but no titles were on the line? It means nothing really besides Pac claiming that he won a title in another division but thats not a big deal to me.Comment

not..he's not in charge of other people's decision....the reason you're hating on him now is because he might fight miguel cotto...
i hope this fight does'nt get made anymore so that the bs would somehow be minimized....i hope pac fights someone else who's willin to to meet up in the middle like ssm....better yet jmm......Comment

come off it man. Where were you when Cotto was at 140 and coming into the ring at 157 pounds? Did you think that was fair? I didnt hear you complaining then. He was breaking those little guys in half. They had no chance. Im not even saying that your wronb but if you dont like it then dont fight him. Floyd was coming into the ring at 146 pounds at WW but you rip him if he doesnt fight a guy like Cotto. Now Pac is telling him to cut some pounds and your upset about that. You just want Cotto to have the perfect advantage for every fight and then youre happyLast edited by DLT; 06-22-2009, 08:41 AM.Comment

they had no chance? What are you talking about? First alot of fighters rehydrate like that. I mean look at clottey 170. Alot of fighters do it not only cotto. Second when you drain a body your weak your not going to fight at full potential. You say they had no chance but yet torres knocked him down. Corley had him wobbly he was way more vulnerable then and his chin wasn't as good as it is now.if anything they had a better chance of knocking him out then than nowComment

And because they are different weights they should rob the public of what would undoubtedly be an amazing event?Originally posted by mangler
If you think Pacquiao should fight nobody over 140, he might as well retire now because Hatton was the best at 140 and look what happened thereComment

my point is that I think Cotto may have lost those fights if he wasnt that big. Guys like Corley & Torres were out fighting him but he was just too big in the end. The same with Paulie.
Floyd was coming into the ring at 146 pounds at WW but you rip him if he doesnt fight a guy like Cotto. Now Pac is telling him to cut some pounds and your upset about that. You just want Cotto to have the perfect advantage for every fight and then youre happy. Again, Im not even saying that youre wrong about the weight but Cotto doesnt have to accept. If he does then its a fair fight, plain and simple. Just like it is when Cotto had big weight advantages. Again, the title doesnt mean much. If Cotto loses then his stock will drop a ton, title or notComment
