What are you trying to prove in your sig, Pullcounter?

[VERDUGO]

damn...pac tryin to fool ppl about this weight ****...look at that...15 pounds? so if the fight is at 143 could he make it to 156-159? makes you wonder about all this catchweight ****

Pac never blown up over 148 ma man.
Against Hatton at JWW, he weighed in at 138 and rehydrated back up to 148.Against the ***** at WW, he weighed in at 142 and rehydrated back up again to 148.

I've yet to see a self-proclaimed puerto rican not hate on Pac, I've seen many filipinos, blacks and whites give Cotto his due credit.

I give props to Pacman as i've criticized cotto. I think pacman is a very good fighter who has beaten lightweights/featherweights but also realistic enough to say he has not fought any welterweights. Hatton is a lightweight, the oscar that fought floyd was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY different than the oscar that fought pacman. A featherweight could've beated the last oscar. Pacman is a very good fighter who will be regarded as one of the best lightweight champs ever. If he beats cotto, mosley, floyd, clottey...i'll consider him a good welterweight also...COMMON SENSE DUDE.

Look at the last 8 pacman fights:

Hatton (140)-Light welter
Oscar (145)- Welter
Diaz (135)- lightweight
Marquez (130) Featherweight
Barrera (130) Featherweight
Solis (130) Super featherweight
Morales (129) Super Featherweight
Larios (129) Super Featherweight


If fight does go forward he'll be fighting a boxer (Cotto) that has not fought anyone under 145 in last 8 fights. That is crazy ! If pacman beats Cotto, i'll give him MUCH props. Save this post, i'll give him much props !

I stand corrected. You gotta admit there is a lot of rican hate on Pac these days though.

I like both fighters, they represent what I look for, that warrior spirit and balls to the wall mentality.

Hell yea..think about Pacman's quick punches to cotto's head and cotto's body shots to pacman's body. It'll be like the old fights.

[flipbjefrox]

so cotto's highest weigh in was 159... what was pac's heighest weigh in? 148.5???

let's keep in mind that he doesnt get fight night weigh in. for all we know, he could be blowing back up to 170

Correct me if I am wrong, but for his last three fights at different weight classes Pac has come in on fight night at 148.....so this leads me to believe this is what he is walking around at or near.....it also means he has been beating up on smaller guys for a long time.

So the point is, that if Manny doesn't want none of the big boys, he can hang out at JrWW. Pretty cut and dry.

Clottey reportedly weighed close to 170, as did Margarito. Cotto didn't complain. He laced em' up and went to battle.

Cotto has repeatedley said he'll rehydrate about 8-10 pounds. 159 was clearly his biggest weight.

But like another poster said, what's good for the goose
