    Pacquaio is a good fighter don't get me wrong, but do you actually think a de la hoya that's not weight drained would beat Pacquiao? Ricky Hatton just like ever other fighter can no longer make 140, its no good for your body when you blow up to 190 drinking beers then have to get down to 139 for a fight.

    Ricky Hatton was also weight drained in his fight with Pacquaio, its just like Cotto when he use to get rocked all the time at 140, he was drained and weak, Torres could never drop cotto 3 times at 147.

    My point being and you can mark my words, THE FIRST TIME PACQUAIO FIGHTS A LIVE GUY WHO'S NOT WEIGHT DRAINED HE LOSES...if he fights cotto at 142 he may win because cotto will be drained. Pacquaio's luck is about to run out and he knows it thats why he wants to retire soon.
    last time cotto fought was at 146, so if he drops to 145 he is immediately weight drained and is now a useless fighter?

      Yep.

      Either that or he has to take over his PR, because between Roach, that Gacal douchebag and Arum, its pretty hard to like the guy right now.

          Pacquiao would be an absolute beast at 140. Probably unbeatable except by marquez

            Valid point though, they actually do weight drain people and aren't the least bit shy about it. Seeking out unfair advantages publicly is pretty questionable for anyone IMO. Like if Kobe said he will only play Gilbert Arenas one on one if Gilbert wasn't allowed to eat for three days and had to jog 5 miles at full speed before they began there game to ten, while kobe was rested and ready to play.
            When did he do that?!!! A year ago he was fighting at the featherweight limit, and at that time we were all thinking that this former flyweight has just reached his limit and no way will he be thinking of moving up in weight some more, specially after he witnessed two failed attempts by Morales himself at going up just 1 division higher. Now that Manny is doing the unthinkable and doing it impressibly, you are all hating at the man for stepping up, fighting at an uncomfort zone, fighting the big boys. And now you bitching out that the pacman is cheating on his opponents, why don't you look the other way and see if manny is getting favorable advantages form his recent fight deals..

            Manny fought Hatton at 140lbs, a weight ricky was undefeated in for the longest time and was considered the king and lineal champion by everyone.

            Manny fought Oscar at 147lbs, 3 divisions jump from his comfort weight of 130lbs. A former Middleweight fighting a former Featherweight, the only problem is Oscar miscalculated his diet, he should have been 155-160lbs at fight time but Manny came in prepared either way.

            And now Cotto at 145lbs, Cotto was 146lbs in his last fight with Clottey, and there was some bitching before that it shouldn't be a title fight at 145lbs coz it would be really unfair to cotto, well guess what.. IT IS NOT A TITLE FIGHT!! you all haters happy now?!!! Manny gave in to cottos every request just to make the fight and cotto is the BIGGER MAN on this fight...

            Kinda rubs you the wrong way doesnt it...

              Why do so many people rise to the Pacquiao bait. If people didn't feed these fools and just ignored them they would soon get bored.

                    Agreed. It suddenly becomes a trend as soon as they hear from somebody else that a fighter is weight drained, not the same fighter after a loss or too old. People then just start going by what they heard and not by what they're seeing. Yes, De La Hoya looked weak as **** in the fight wit Pacquiao but Hatton weight drained? After he just finished f-in' up Paulie? Even though he lost in 2 rounds against Pac, he showed the ability to fight hard in those two rounds.

                      Good post. I'm pretty sure 145 is comfortable for both Pacquiao and Cotto.
