    Some thoughts about the weight issue.

    It seems to me that everyone is bitching about a few measly pounds.

    First off, Packy has fought at 47 and looked good doing it. Independently of how Oscar looked, Manny looked good regardless.

    Secondly, Packy and Cotto are around the same size. Manny even said so.

    Everybody knows that boxing isn't about muscles or weight but about technique and timing.

    Also, ww is 41 to 47'. As long as both guys come in that range they are within the established weight parameters.

    As a JMM fan, I'd prefer he come in at 41' and retain his speed than needlessly blow up just to try and weigh the same as Floyd who will probably come in at 47'.

    At such a high level as this, a few pounds between the fighters don't matter.

    As long as one fighter isn't forced to dry out and both fighters are allowed to make weight comfortably, the weight isn't that important.

    The better fighter will win.

    As for Cotto coming in a few pounds over fight night. So what? Heavyweights do it all the time.

    Heavyweights aren't superhuman, they have chins too. So why not ***** about the weight discrepancies there?

    Eddy Chambers just got outweighed by almost 50 pounds against Sasha and he beat him like a drum.

    The weight issue is not as important as people make it.

    The better fighter will win.

    Now everyone quit your bitching and enjoy a damn good match. This is gonna be one for the ages.

    No excuses.

        Pac is doing Cotto a favor by making him come in at 145, he'll be in good shape and there should be zero excuses when Manny lays him out.
