      I know its only 2 pounds from 147 to 145 but I think it is bull **** if they make it a welterweight title fight. If you break a record by winning 7 titles you should win those titles at the weight the title is supposed to be won at.

        no but mr. cotto signed it. not you, not his cornermen....cotto did.

        he had every right to just say no to mr. arum, but he didn't did he?

        if pac is behind held guilty for this so should cotto because he signed it.....first!

          no is blaming pac. I think the ones making the fight happen are the dumb asses tainting history.

            As others have said Pac would likely drop the belt. For the sake of speculation I believe it would be possible to defend the title on catchweights between 141 and 147. I am also pretty sure that the WBO wouldn't ensure that Manny should defend at 147 since that would mean that they ultimately would have to strip him thereby missing out on the gigantic sanctioning fees Pac would bring.

            In the worlds of the alphabet boys it's not about what's right. It's about dollars.

                This is the reason I don't think a title should be on the line, cause it isn't a proper welterweight fight, it isn't at the welterweight limit...

                    He'd more than likely relinquish the belt because he's not going to fight any mandatories either way. It's a trophy piece.
