Pacquiao-Cotto: Manny's Weight Shows Size Difference

[Al Haymon]

yeah right, his performance with diaz isn't what i will call struggling? ur blinded by your hate dude, 1 pound is not weight drained, coming down to 1 pound compulsary or voluntary is still coming down 1 pound below your last match, dumbass.

Blinded by hate of whom? Would you please stop with the silly personal attacks and discuss BOXING.

Malignaggi said that he really struggled to make weight. Kellerman said that he observed Paulie having a tough time making the weight. At the weigh-in, PM couldn't wait to get to the water.

When you are dry, another 1 or 2 pounds is hard. Yes, even ONE pound.

Losing 1-2 lbs didn't effect paulies performance tho

If you're saying 1 pound is hard. Then it's even harder for Pac to go up 7lbs for the weigh-in.

Paulie performed well. He was also facing a guy he is naturally faster than, and who doesn't have much pop. A guy who is pretty much the opposite of Pac.

As we know, every fighter has different physiology. Pac was at 130 and weighing 144 on fight night. Hatton makes 140 and is 154 on fight night. Yet, posters inform me that Mayweather can't cut from 150 to 140. So I guess that's illustrative.

Miguel was making a big deal about the weight. I guess he knows his body.

Why would Pac have to go up? There is no minimum weight. Pac can be 140, 142, or 144. Wherever he feels best. He will be the smaller man, nonetheless.

BTW, it is my belief that taking off weight is more punitive than going up. Jones, Delahoya, Tarver, Byrd, etc.

Pullcounter,

Is that an actual screencap, or is it Photoshop?

[BOLLOCKS]

So 1 fight = always now?

He made Morales go down to 130. Instead of fighting him at 135 like he asked.

[gopi11]

Yes, but on his last 2 fights at 130 it was well known that those were going to be his last fights at that weight because he was already having trouble to make the weight and on fight night against Diaz he weighed in at 142 or 143 (not sure the exact number but it was over 140) therefore he was not bulking up the 17 pounds you mentioned it was a lot less.

Technically, he has to bulk up 17 pounds more, he made weight at 130 didn't he? I got what you saying but the issue here is he insinuated that Pacman drains his opponents, which you and I know isn't true...

I differentiate between "bulking up" and rehydrating.

Jones and Hopkins bulked up. JMM has to bulk up. Most of MP's weight is rehydrating.

True to some extent, but boxers didn't come from the same DNA, so they have their own metabolism. Some adapts well to the weight loss, like David Diaz, who used to fight as a Jr. welterweight, PWill and a bunch of others, while others like Paulie (one that you've mentioned), Joan Guzman and a host of others react differently...
