    the sarcasm was obvious, but I have a question:

    does cotto have any excuse losing to anyone under 147 lbs?

      Please stop with all the cotto double standards. Pac isnt having problems making WW in fact hes walking around at more than WW. One can make the same argument that pac is the one who should be ashmed for staying at the lower weights so long when he can easily make weight for WW fight.

        if he wins only by a decision against a guy who is a blown up featherweight......
        pac physical attributes are fine for jww. he had bigger legs, longer reach, bigger neck etc. So was hatton a blown up featherweight aswell?!! so this blown up featherweight stuff is complete rubbish IMO.

          c'mon, stop joking around.

          pac officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton, cotto officially weighed 146 lbs against clottey. pac ain't no WW.

            what a ****** ass statement.

            welterweights weigh in at 147. on fight night they are junior middleweights & some regularly come in on fight night as middleweights. See pullcounter's signature (cotto weighs 159 vs okral on fightnight).

            Pacquiao comes in on fight night at 147/148. that doesnt make him a welterweight. he weighed 142 for a 147 match vs oscar, he weighed in at 138 for a 140 match vs hatton.

            the man has 1 fight at 135,140,147 now he should have been a welterweight?

                I know Pacquiao is an elf. Cotto should step on him.

                I mean skill and athleticism has nothing to do with anything. It's all about how much you weigh at the beginning of your career. That's the main determining factor when it comes to legacy.

                  Please show where every WW comes in at more than 147.

                  And I didnt say was that viable, I just wanted to make a point. All these excuses that are being built in adavance for PAC if he loses are Bull****. If PAC decisions Cotto hel get full credit but if Cotto decisions Pac hell be looked down on. How can anyone say that when claim PAC is better than Cotto.


                  "Pac>>>>>>>>cotto but if cotto dosent KO him then he should be ashamed."
                  ^WTFis that?

                    Equally as ridiculous. He's had one fight at 135, 140, and 147, but if he beats Cotto he's a 7 division ruler. Whaaat?
