What Difference Would 2 Pounds Make?

[REMOVED SHARK 99]

If its at 147 (Welterweight) couldn't Cotto come in at a much higher comfortable weight?

I heard Freddie Roach said he will settle for 145 pounds against Cotto! Why not just make it 147 pounds then? Then the fight could be for Cotto's WBO Welterweight Title! Giving Pac the opportunity to become a 5 weight world champion. I'm not a boxer but I think if you can make 145, why not 147? He made 147 against De La Hoya and he looked amazing in that fight so surely he can do it again!

Mass X Speed = Force.

Your not simply adding weight behind your punches, its being multiplied by a certain factor.

Pac's max weight is 142. If Cotto's at 147. You add in rehydration and you've got a big gap inweight. the 145 is strictly there for both guys to weigh a lb within each other 36 hours before the fight. Cudos to both & let's get it on.
