Chances are the Cotto will make the 145 pound limit and not have to rework the contract because he knows he won't make the limit like Mayweather. Pacquiao has fought at WW and JWW before. He's at least had that much weight on his body before. I put great win because Manny is favored to beat Cotto at 145.
    it's not a great win.... a WW is supposed to beat a jr WW.

    I bet after pbf/jmm, that a lot of cash is gonna get laid down on cotto.

    SIZE MATTERS!!!

      simple,

      if cotto comes in at the agreed weight and wins he gets full credit for a good win.

      if cotto does like floyd and does not come in at the agreed weight then he gets zero credit and a worthless win.

        I agree that Cotto should beat him because he's bigger than Pac, but Pac is favored and everyone in the media is not giving Cotto much of a shot. If he beats Pac, everyone in the public will think it's a great win. I know size matters. The casual boxing fan doesn't.

          Does it mean:
          1.That Manny Pacquiao was the world's top junior welter but we found out against COTTO that he was no better than top ten at 147?

          2.That he beat a fighter that didnt belong at Welterweight?

          3. That Cotto should have fought Berto, Mosley, or Williams instead of picking on Jr. WW's?

          4. If Cotto wanted to fight within the Welterweight limit than he should have fought a WELTERWEIGHT! and if he wanted to fight Pacman the fight should been at 140, a weight thats his Pacquiao weightclass.

          5. That it was a great win reguardless
          You are the biggest wanker Horus. You can't say this ****e about Cotto because he's spent the last many years fighting each and every best WW and each greatest threat to him. **** off you pansy little wanker.

            It's a better win for Pacquiao if he beats Cotto than vice versa. Cotto is the bigger man and will only be giving up 1lb since his last weigh-in. On paper at least, Cotto is supposed to win this, so regardless of Manny being P4P #1 he's had very few fights above 140lbs and is therefore still relatively unproven. He weighed in at 142 for a Welterweight fight against De La Hoya, and only 139 against Hatton.

            Now who is taking the bigger risk = Cotto losing 1 extra pound or Pacquiao taking on one of the best in the Welterweight division who enters the ring ~160? It should be quite clear to all that Pacquiao is taking the bigger risk, which translates to a better win, if he he pulls it off.

            A Cotto win over Pacquiao is good, not great, and certainly not mediocre. The poll doesn't offer any choice for the way I wanted to vote, so I didn't bother. Pz.

              Why didnt Cotto move down to 140 if he wanted to fight Pacquiao?
              Why is he forcing Pacquiao to moved up to welterweight...when Pacquiao weightclass is 140?

              What does that win mean for has legacy...
              Should he just have fought berto or williams?
              And there it is...

              Cotto did not express a particular desire to fight Pacquiao. That's Arum's brainchild (whose name, incidentally, is just one letter off from the Latin 'aurum'...) because the man's avarice is legendary. It is a **** match because Cotto gives up everything. Even if he wins (an expectation of mine, but not a guarantee) Cotto will not likely be afforded the accolades and respect that goes along with a normal victory. It's a bull**** match.

                yep because they are sheeple and don't know boxing. boxing fans should be more nuanced.

                  Cotto didn't choose Manny. Manny chose him. This is another name on Pac's resume before he fights Mayweather.

                    so when does it matter if an opponent calls you out or not...?
