    Well... pound this and pound that aside.

    I still dont know who will win the fight... Ill still order the fight, and ill still enjoy it...

    I just feel like if Pac wants to make history by taking a belt in the 147lb division.... then do so at 147lbs.

      I voted no.

      I'm a big fan of Manny but I'm not a big fan of forcing champions to come in drained with their title on the line.

      To be honest I think its a bit gutless.

          Well, the Julio Cesar Chavez/Whitaker fight the 147 belt was on the line even though it was at 145. If Chavez would have won he would have gained the 147 belt.

            Does it make sense to say pacquiao is a blown up WW, I'm only asking. Sorta like when people say, JMM will be a blown up WW against Mayweather.

              No one blaming Pacman for Cottos training habits.

              To say that FURTHER weight drain will not effect Cotto WHATSOEVER cant possibly be accurate...
              I love you Reed but that is the most ******ed **** I've ever heard.

              "If he can make 145, he can make 144.." ???? The fuck are you talking about right now?

                I think there is a difference in that Pacquiao seems to carry the weight better than JMM does. I think JMM lost a fair bit going up to fight Diaz, I think he will look worse against Floyd.

                  Well first of all, it doesnt mean I agree with even THAT catchweight...

                  Second of all, even though technically yes you can win the 147lb belt at 145lbs... I dont agree with it.

                  If YOU want to come in at 145.. or hell even 140... then so be it.

                  But dont make the 147lbs champion... who is defending the 147lb belt... come in at 145lbs. Thats how I feel about it.

                    Fight a welterweight, at the welterweight limit.

                    Nobody says Manny has to go up that high, but hes trying to take away from Cotto in with the weight issue.

                    There are weight divisions and champions on those classes for a reason.


                    **** a catchweight.

                      My point is where does it stop?

                      If he can make 147, he can make 146.... well he made 146, so he can make 145...

                      At what point DOES it start effecting the fighter?

                      That was my point... f.uckboy
