If Mayweather can ignore the catchweight should Cotto do the same?

    is not the same situation since in this case pac is the one who has the leverage......


    floyd was the one who had the levarage for his fight.


    in other words...

    for FIREPOWER: PAC CALL THE SHOTS

    for NUMERO UNO: floyd called the shots....

      1. He will owe a LOT more money than floyd had to pay. Manny makes it like 1mil per extra pound.

      2. Cotto's title is on the line which means if he came in overweight he would be forced to vacate the title and WOULDN'T be able to get it back even if he were to win against Pac.

      3. Cotto is classy.
      IMO personally, it wouldn't make Cotto any less classy. The reason Mayweather looked sooo unclassy about the whole situation is because he didn't even wanted to be weight in at fight night. The money situation is a dilema for Cotto, even though we all know he has money already, 2 million is 2 million, or even 1 million. The title on the other hand, if it is the case where he would lose the title even if he wins just because he came in at 147lbs which still is the WW limit, then that's BS. I would thrash that belt after the fight even if he wins. JMHO.

        Many ppl give Cotto a slim chance of beating Pacquiao so should he just come in at 147 and give himself a better chance of winning as he's the underdog?
        Stop comparing Cotto to the coward gayweather.

        Unlike Gayweather, Cotto has more professionalism and manliness than gayweather's clan combined.

        Cotto won't risk it to his reputation of being called a cheat when he knows he can easily make 145.

          He doesn't need to. Cotto can still make the catchweight and rehydrate to about 157. He'll still have a good size advantage over Manny.

            Cotto is good at either weight. At 140 even better, you can tell, he looks much more full at WElterweight.

              Pac can call the shots, get an even weight, whatever he wants for his fight with Miguel but he will still be a dead man walking.

                I do agree Cotto can destroy Pac. Not just beat him but destroy him. And this is coming from a die-hard Pac fan.

                But I also believe Pac can beat Cotto.

                Either way the fight will be brutal.

                Both fighters have reputations at stake. Ill create an analysis for this one.

                  Nope, It would be a unpofessional move, and Cotto will be charge 1 mill per extra pound, so no he wont and should not do that!!!!!!

                    Why would Cotto want to lose 2 million? That would be a good amount of the purse.
