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

That post above answers it all.

People want to make their own rules.

Better suggest to the sanctioning bodies that fighters should weigh at the contract weight 1 minute before the fight.

If you used the same logic, Cotto should be fighting paul williams or Hopkins at middleweight with no problem.

Just hope this dumbass fight don't happen.

Yes because people complain too much.

When you make the weight one day before the fight, what is there to complain anyway?


Just a terrible excuse to find a bigger guy to finally hand a smaller guy a justifiable loss.

I must say that is an unfortunate turn of events....I got to go make a Pac vs Mayweather thread and get him back in the red.


Thanks for all the points...I sure need them.

And still....

thats the 3rd fight. and its in SFW not WW. pac is getting bigger.

pac is struggling to make that weight.

and after that fight pac weight drained to fight JMM. and thats last on SFW.

next fight is LW after JMM.

I didn't hear any bitching from Eric Morales or MAB when they had to fight a guy that would rehydrate to the WW limit over night...

I guess Manny doesn't like to be the smaller guy... and will only fight top tier competitors if he can out weigh them by a significant amount or they come down from there comfort zone.

Cotto fought smaller guys at 140 I can't front...but as of late he's been fighting nothing but very big WW's with world class talent... with the exception of Gomez and Jennings of course...Still bigger men but not world class in the talent department.

but

Clottey
Margo
Shane

All big top tier WW...Taller and outweighing Cotto.


How come Manny can't fight big guys...but he has no problem cutting weight to fight the Mexican legends?

Because as you get older, your body gets bigger and bigger and you cant make lower weight. Just like how Duran, Leonard, De La Hoya, and other small guys moved up in weight. Its common sense. Did you see how skinny Pacquiao was in Morales 1 and Marquez 1. He was nowhere near a welterweight lbs, and just recently i believe the about 2 years ago he started weighing in that much.

Proof...I don't need proof just common sense.

If you think Margarito Shane Mosley and Joshua Clottey are not bigger then Miguel Cotto you need give your contact lenses eye glasses eye drops contact lens fluid all to Roger so he can pour gasoline on them and lite them ****s on fire.

Mosley and Margarito showed their fight night weight, how come Cotto doesn't.

Proof is needed. Commons sense my ass.
