Ok for Mayweather to go down but not Cotto?? WTF.

[GTR]

So why is it ok for mayweather to fight marquez on a lower weight class and why is everyone whining about Pacquiao meeting Cotto in the halfway at 145?

Im asking this because almost every thread here is complaining about Manny being a ***** about 2 lbs and weight draining opponents.. meanwhile no fuzz or complaints about Mayweather wanting to fight Marquez which is 2 notches down from welter. If we compare that, its like Cotto coming down to Mannys weight and gets everyones approval. Too much Pacquiao hate.

what???more people are complaining about the floyd-jmm fight than pacman-cotto..i think you got it twisted

cotto runs **** - mayweather doesn't.

it's ok for Cotto to go down in weight, but is not ok to go down in weight and fight for a title at a higher weight. Floyd isn't fighting for marquez belt and marquez ain't fighting for Floyd's. It is just a fight, but when you want to challenge for a belt and make history, then earn it the right way and fight at the limit

pacquiao has proven himself to be able to find at this weight, and be an elite fighter at this weight

The reality is that JMM has never fought above 135. Though he's probably filling to 140 now, Pac's proven he could fight at 135, 140, and technically the 147 limit (which he did all in one year). So the Cotto vs Pac seems more feasable now more so than maybe a year ago where everyone would probably have said Cotto mops the floor with Pac, but a win over Hatton and Oscar has now apparently gives Manny the edge (?)

And...did they even announce an official weight limit for the JMM vs Floyd fight? First I heard 144, 145, then full fledged 147.

The Cotto vs Pacquiao fight to me overall is the more competitive of the two, its really tough to deny that.

Umm,maybe because Pacman has fought at welterweight before & Marquez never??

I have no problem with Cotto-Pac being at a catchweight. I do have a problem with it being made for Cotto's belt.

Nobody gives a **** about Mr boat buyer-JMM, so the complaint has been less vocal, tho it's certainly there. I don't care for catchweights at all. Mr boat buyer and Cotto need to be fightin each other and lettin Pac and JMM face off.

true!!!
