Cotto has never been in the ring with anything like Manny Pacquiao...

Lol mangler, the fight is at WW. 141-147 is Welterweight. 147 is just the WW limit. It's only called a catch weight at 145 because this time the limit will be 145. DLH vs Pacquiao was signed as a catch weight bout for some reason, but HBO acknowledged it as a Welterweight bout because it was at 147. As a result, Manny got credit for that fight as a WW. hence "fought at 7 diff weight classes".

At the end of the day, they'll both come in as Jr Middleweights on fight night(Cotto 155-157, Pacquiao at 151-153) like WW's do.

Oscar vs Manny was not a catchweight fight, it was fought at the Welterweight limit of 147. The stipulation was that for every pound Oscar came in over the limit he would have to pay something like 3 mill per pound; and I think, near the date of the fight, Freddie even threatened to pull out if Oscar was over 147. But the fight was contracted at full Welterweight even while Oscar came in at 145 and Manny at 142.

Orange juice mixed with *******
With a trainer like Panama Lewis.... I don't even wanna begin with this one.

Panama trained Duran too.

Maybe that'll make you think before you type ****** ****.

Judah would be the closest.. speed + power + lefty..

but manny owns judah in everything!


judah is a 1/3 fight fighter while pac is a 20 rounder!

Yeah, but Judah doesn't bring the pure energy that Manny brings. And I think that's the difference. It overwhelms.

Lewis was the trainer of Resto and Pryor did have a drug habit so how ****** is it, ******?

[El Chicano]

I agree... its not a catchweight.. This will be the first fight of Manny on a catchweight.

End of the day, Cotto would probably have come in at 145 anyway, so there should be no excuses after the fight.

There hasn't been anything like Pacquiao period.

Step away from the nuts

I repeat

Step away from the nuts


You need to watch some fights.

In October 1986, Lewis and Resto were both put on trial and found guilty of assault, criminal possession of a weapon (Resto's hands) and conspiracy. Lewis was also found guilty of tampering with a sports contest. Prosecutors charged that since Lewis had deliberately removed the padding from Resto's gloves, the bout with Collins amounted to an illegal assault. Lewis was sentenced to six years in prison, Resto to three years, of which they each served 2.5 years.


^{Nah, Lewis never did anything wrong ever... not with Pryor not with anyone, Please.}
