    u never know..if ssm takes care of his weight properly.. he could weigh in at 140 and gain most of the weight back between weigh-in and fight night.. dlh came in at 145 and fought at 145.. its still a big risk what hes doing but if he wins it gives him another lineal title and another devision ..
    and to the ppl saying pac has more 2 gain by beating cotto!!...how?... he could fight ssm for a welterweight title too... even at 143!..
    this is arum being greedy.. but then again.. if pac really wanted shane.. he would have asked for that fight..

      Shane Mosley hasn't fought 135lbs. since 1999...that was 10 yrs ago...is he seriously looking to get put into a coma??? Look at Shane's body...the dude is ripped up and doesn't have much fat to lose...that's dangerous because you will have to lose muscle...think of Roy Jones Junior losing all his muscle from after he beat John Ruiz...look how awful he looked against Tarver and that was him being out of the division for one damn fight...Shane has been out of 135 for 10 yrs. I'm sorry but this fight at 140lbs doesn't look right on paper nor does it sound right for any sane person with half a brain.

            I'm not blaming Pacquiao...He came in and did his part...but that doesn't change the fact that his part was to come in a beat on a corpse...That was Dela's crappy decision making and overestamating his body's capablilities..it is what it is...Dela was a shell.
            Roach was shouting weeks before the fight that DLH is killing himself n making 145 very early.

            NOBODY LISTENED!

            Some called it a circus act.

            When the fight is over. Everybody is saying DLH is weight drained. Then why no one listened to roach in the first place?

              These welters are calling out pac because he is the draw. Damn... everybody is calling out pac. Darchinyan even called him.

              Pac calls the shots right now. If he makes demands, deal with it. Take it or leave it.

              If you want to be the man, beat the man in his own terms. Thats how Pac took it from DLH.

                  The way I see it. Mosley is only after the big payday. I would rather see him fight Williams at WW or Mayweather, or Clottey.

                  Pacquiao in not a WW, that's why he fights at a catch weight. He gives the advantage in size but gains with the weight drain. And if he were a true WW just because he weighted in 142 (148 fight night) for one fight like some here claim, then there is no advantage given, he is draining himself too by fighting at a catch weight.

                  Anyways, what Pacquiao is doing with Cotto and Mosley, is no different that what Mayweather did with JMM, it just doesn't look as bad since he is the smaller man. Mayweather is perhaps the only WW than can actually make JWW. But this sissy is only a small fighter when he has to fight the true WW, and too big to go down to JWW when he fights a smaller fighter.

                  This is all DLH fault by picking on the smaller figthers and not sealing the deal. Now this circus fights are happening and don't look bad on the eyes of the public. Pacman should be fighting JMM and Mayweather vs Mosley or Cotto.

                    Can you tell me what is it that cotto has been demanding lately? I am just curious.

                      Shane needs to stop obsessing over Pac and fight Berto.
