Manny Pacquiao at 130 weighed in at around Welter weight...Why the double standard?

[letsgobrady]

i remember there was a video on youtube with one famous boxing historian talkin about how skinny pale and UNHEALTHY morales looked in the rematch..
yet even with manny's choice of gloves he was still losing to the great erik morales halfway into the fight..it was erik's GAS TANK that ran out..only 4 rounds later manny won..pac STILL couldnt even knock out morales instead erik tired out...yet manny gets SO MUCH DAMN credit for that win

un****enbelievable...

erik wanted the rematch at 135 manny and his people refused and chose to fight a sic dehydrated erik and was still losin

Cotto has stop taking fight night weigh ins ages ago. There is a reason behind it. I would not be surprised if he is near 165 or even 160 like Clottey is. Cotto at the age of 21 at 140 used to come in at 154. This is when he was only 21, what do you think an 28 year old Cotto at 147 would weigh in

Think about it

I don't think you understand the principals of weight cutting.

Cotto did not need to bulk up to make 147...he was already a natural 147 pounder fighting little guys at 140.

Cotto has been fighting bigger men since he stepped up to WW...Cotto proved he can fight with bigger guys...and win for the most part...Why can't Pacquiao test himself in this way?

Quintana
Judah
Shane
Margarito
Clottey

All with either a height or weight advantage on Cotto....3 of those guys with both.

No risk no reward.

Cotto is bigger than Judah/Carlos Q. Judah is 150 at WW fight night.

Period

Shane is 160 fight night while Cotto is 159. Margarito is also 160.

Clottey is 170. But Cotto would be now over 160 now but doesn't allow fight night weigh ins.

Cotto is around 175 walking around. Cotto is not a natural 147. A natural 147 is more like Judah/Mayweather/Pac. Cotto cuts tonnes of weight to get down to 147.

erik wanted the rematch at 135 manny and his people refused and chose to fight a sic dehydrated erik and was still losin

that was for the 3rd fight.

Judah is not a bigger than Cotto. How do you know he fought bigger guys, the last time we seen his fight night weight was against Urkal.

you don't think margarito,clottey and shane weighed more?didnt clottey and margarito come in to previous fights weighin around 170

You like to give that excuse as a loss. Why don't you ask Morales why he insisted Pac to wear winning gloves on the contract?

people forget that manny moved up from 126 to 130 to fight morales.

after morales lost the rematch at 130 , he then wanted manny to move up again for him to 135.

manny wanted to fight a 3rd fight at the weight they fought the 1st 2 at after already moving up once.

but of course manny is a ***** for not giving in to morales demands and giving him an advantage.

But there is no fight night weight of Cotto during those fights.
