Will you give Manny full credit if he beats Cotto @ 145 for the ww belt?

[skipperman]

Tell me one thing y'all.

Were all the title fights in boxing end up with the exact weight?

for me, i believe WEIGHT agreement is just PAPER.

How can you say that a fight is at 147 when they end up in a different weight during the fight?

There are no perfect match-ups in boxing people.
Even if 2 fighters have the same weight there are still other things that affects the fight (reach, height, age, fight history, dedication in training, habits, etc.)

Hey, i'm not an expert but this is a fact with all these weight issues.

For me, there really ain't no issue at all.

If this 2 wanted to have the fight with or without the belt, let them.
They know their own capacity as much as anyone here does.

Just be happy this fight has been made and enjoy the show.

pacquiao is such a disgrace...that ***** doesnt even have the balls to fight Cotto at 147...****en catchweight *****...**** manny.

If they want the title on the line then they should fight at the welterweight limit.

I would give Pacquiao credit for a victory over Cotto at 145 but he shouldn't claim himself a title holder at welterweight if the fight is held at a catchweight.

I don't see why they need a catchweight. Cotto never comes in at 147 and Pacquiao will not come in more than 143. Cotto is going to come in at the junior middleweight limit no matter what on fight night. But I won't be surprised if they force a certain weight that Cotto has to be the day of the fight.

112 to 145 is not bad at all compare to harry potter trilogy

[KittenFlaps]

I'd give him credit, and lot's of it, but it's still not 147. I'm not saying it wouldn't be an incredible accomplishment, and I'm not saying it wouldn't be worthy of praise, I'm just saying I can't give absolute full credit when it isn't fully welterweight.

Exactly. He should get full credit for the win, if he wins, but you shouldn't be able to call yourself the Welterweight champion if you're unwilling to fight Welterweights except at catchweight - that's just bull****.

Even though the welterweights come in as middleweights? If Cotto wants to weigh in at 147, then let's do the weigh-in on fight day. After all, that's how it used to be anyway.
