Roach should demand that there be a limit on how much Cotto can weigh on fight night.

[Del Coqui]

That's what I'm saying. I think it may have been better to make the fight at the 147lbs limit, so there'd be no bitching about the catchweight, but put a limit on how much weight the fighters can gain by the night of the fight. That's a fair proposal.

Wow that reminds me of all the bitching from Cazares fans coz he was held to 10 pds until next day 9am, and he was a 108 fighter! Your talking about a WW and fight weight clause?

blah blah, you ready to pay me that 100K bonus when Manny lays you boy out???

fights should be fight-night weigh in. if fighters are too weak for the weight class then move up. i'm tired of seeing fighters like cotto, clottey, margarito, dlh, vargas, etc when they would come in at 156-165 on fight night. its not a damn welterweight fight if ur fighting at middleweight division weight!

true you have a point.. but pacquiao did the same thing when he fought at 130 and lower.. he would weigh in at 130, and fight night he would weigh 147..

do you think it'll end up worse than cintron vs angulo? will miguel also use the flu excuse?

[FLYBOY]

heavyweights are always fighting guys 20-100 lbs above. the pound for pound champion should have the balls to face someone 20 lbs above.

[rob6465]

I think this is more important than the 145lbs catchweight. Miguel weighed in at 146 in his last fight, one more pound is nothing. More significant is the amount of weight he'll put on by the time he enters the ring. I remember one of the sanctioning bodies doing this in the past; only allowing a fighter to gain a certain percentage of the weigh-in weight. It should be implemented in the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight.

Hey, why not? WBC is making a new belt for pacquiao, why not do that. While we are at it, make sure the judges are all filipinos, cotto not be allowed to use cutman, etc, etc
