Same day weigh in for Cotto vs Pac

[manok uli]

I thought Cotta was only 146 at fight night against Clottey? Why is he now suppose to be 154+ as you ppl say?

[ThunderWolf]

Realistically on fight night Manny is going to come in at around 145-147, Cotto is going to come in around 158-160. Instead of the 145 limit would anyone be in favor of a 147 limit with the weigh in 4 hours before the fight?

Yes, that`s can be stipulated. But I doubt it, governing bodies should first amend the rules and revert.

He was 146 at weigh in the day before, 154+ at fight night

No, he was 146 for the weigh-in.

They didn't show the unofficial weigh-in for that fight. They rarely do for fights that take place in New York.

The more weight advantage Cotto has, the better fight it will be, so guys that are talking **** need to **** off and become boxing fans instead of nuthuggers.

Cotto will need a good weight advantage because Pacquiao will be making him absorb a lot. He'll be hitting him almost at will.

Ya and one clean body shot from Cotto at 160 could crush Pac's ribs. Even this fight up a little.

Cotto is usually 155 on fight night, Pacquiao around 148... if Cotto weighs 147 on fight night he will be dehydrated...

[Spacey1991]

cotto can't make a 147 lbs limit 4 hours before the fight.

H can make it, but not fight effectively...

I don't understand, if he could make it a day before why couldn't he make it the day of?

He has to work hard to make that weight and dehydrate himself, if he fights like that he wont be fighting fit and it would be something similar to De La Hoya vs Pacquiao...

[Spacey1991]

I'm in favor of a return to same day weigh-ins, period.

Same here... all fighters fight in there proper divisions... I don't see how its right having some one 160+ at a 147 fight.

That and having just one world title belt in each division is what would make Boxing perfect for me...

A lot of people have been touting him as today's Henry Armstrong, he fought at a 10 pound disadvantage more than once.

Anyway, what previous evidence do you have of Cotto weighing in at 160 on fight night?

I don't think you do, so stop talking out of your ass.
