              Its not. But cotto better wipe the floor with pac. If he doesn't, then he should retire cause there are real WWs waiting for him after this payday.

                Is this another "Cotto special Rules"?


                Cotto special Rules

                Champions were viewed as Champions even if they fought for a vacant title. I never remember discussions about "Vacant" title fighters. Until Cotto did it.

                Many fighters took knees and more quit in ugly fashion under less pressure. But Cotto's team throws in the towel (Margarito)and Cotto is the worst quitter in boxing.

                Fighters like Tyson bit ears was known for elbows, Holyfield head butts, Golota low blow like crazy. But They get on Cotto like he is the dirtiest low blow fighter ever..lol

                Cotto fights, Margarito, Clottey(with a cut), Quintana (3 of the most feared and avoided welterweights yet people say Cotto has "no heart".

                Now you have guys saying he is going to come in heavier to gain an advantage(which is arguable) like just about 95% of all fighters do. Even Pacquiao comes in over 10 pounds more but again a New "Cotto Rule"!
                we dont really care we just want a reaction from the over sensitive cotto fans.

                    UTTER EPIC FAIL!?

                    After all has been said that's all you got?
                    You should read your response while looking in the mirror.
                    Just about all boxers rehydrate before a fight Pac more than others and Cotto gains what the average fighter does. So no big deal. As for it being an issue in the fight.....That is still debatable, WHy ? Too much weight can slow him down, especially considering that Pac is faster already. But again,its debatable, and its NO FACT THAT COTTO"S WEIGHT GAIN ALONE WILL BE AN EDGE FOR HIM, Nor is it a fact That You nor anyone can tell exactly what he will weigh during fight night...or Pac for that matter.
                    (Honestly Im a bit surprised at you Pullcounter, your usually on point)

                    Not to mention that the re hydration of Pac during the JMM fight of 16lbs didnt really help him...lol...but again its debatable...JMM gained 11 lbs and many believe he really won.

                      This thread proves all the Pac fans are just being ****** when it comes to the weight issue because they won't answer why it was okay for Pac to rehydrate 16 lbs and cotto can't.
