Team Pacquiao Made a Weighty Mistake With Cotto

I'm officially tired of this. The only article that matters will be the one written on Sunday morning, November 19, 2009.

I hope Manny is on the frontpage, smiling.

Cotto will murder pacman, I can't believe the majority believe otherwise.

Care to make a wager? I've got up to 300k on Pacquiao.

My bad. I meant the Sunday after the fight.

Manuel Perez is blatantly anti-Pacquiao and shouldn't even be writing for any publication, internet or print.

He could be xcaret for all we know.

I like this article, one of the better ones. Everything in it is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

The most blatant, obvious, destructive example of weight-drain in my opinion was the lead=up to the Corrales-Mayweather fight, where Corrales was broke, heading for jail, and needed money to pay his legal; bills.

Therefore he agreed to meet Mayweather ay 130 lbs, a weight he had left 6 months before. He talked about those "last couple of pounds" and said it was hard. He took the fight because, as he put it, "they made me an offer I couldn't refuse...... " The Mayweathers got all the advantages to make certain of winning, and poor Corrales turned up at the weigh-in looking, as T.K. Stewart wrote "grey and drawn down ........looking as if he was near death......" He just got money, and his first loss in a fight he was fancied to win.

He was KD 5 times in 10 rounds, and not one time did he go down from a heavy punch. He sank to the canvas in stages, folding up like a deck chair. He was as weak as a new-born kitten.

Very much the way that Breny Matteo is describing the Manny-Cotto fight.

What math are you using?? Corrales fought @ 130 five consecutive fights before he fought Mayweather. He was the IBF 130lb champ for almost a year and a half already. Then he went to jail got out and fought 4 tune up fights. Fought Casamayor twice @ 130 three years after he fought Mayweather. Do your homework before coming up with BOGUS information.

while i dont agree with the article, made me think about a couple things ... i still favour pac personally, but its close ... and a cotto win wouldnt shock me all that much ...

doesnt seem the writer is giving cotto enuf credit for his boxing skills ...

It's a dumb move by Pac's team .
They should've made the catchweight at 143.
145 is bull****. It won't make a difference.
Cotto only have to drop 1 lb plus the belt won't be at stake..
Might as well do this **** at 147.
