      You guys dont understand. Pac is always beefed up around this time. Its like what Roach & ****m Richardson said. Roach said before the Oscar fight that everyone thinks Pac has to gain weight to make WW but we actually have to bring him down to make WW. Then Richardson said that when he sees Pac in person he doesnt think "wow, how can this guy fight at WW", he said he thinks "wow, how did this guy ever make LW".

      Basicaly, Pac is a bigger cat than people beleive and he has to go down to make these weights, even WW. I think this fight he will come in between 150-152

        It would be highly detrimental for Manny to come in weighing that much on fight night, simply because he has to make the 145 catchweight, and with his current weight, it's already a danger in dehydrating, just to rehydrate at such a significant rate, could render him fatigued and sluggish, and in this fight he's gonna have to bring his full game on point. It would highly surprise me if a Pro like Manny did something that would put his abilities on the line, especially going up against his toughest opponent yet. Nuff said.

          but what if its natural? Thats my point. I think he just has maybe the best body in the history of boxing and I think he's getting bigger. He's been 148 his last couple of fights, I dont see what he couldnt be fine at 150-152. Now if he goes 155 then that may be bad. 152 may be a little much but I could see legitmatly 150.

          The main thing to me is Cotto. Cotto use to be a big strong monster who came into the ring at 159-162 but his last fight against Clottey he looked small and some say that he may come down to 155 for Pac so he can have more speed. I think that would be a bad idea. He should try to be bigger and punish Pac

            YOu make an excellent point there friend, but my worry is because of all the hype in this fight about Cotto being the bigger man, he may feel the need to compensate by coming in heavier, and That might not be the wisest choice. 150 is about right when counting a person with Cotto's body mass, and Manny's body, though as you stated is one of the best in boxing, something I agree with, it may not have enough frame to withstand a weight jump at that weight, that quick. That's the key word, quick, because it will be within a 24 hour period to rehydrate to the weight he wants to attain for the fight. Cotto came in lighter than usual at his last fight, and according to his post fight interviews, he felt that it was necessary to counter Clottey's strength with a little more mobility, which in my opinion, did show in his ability to keep Clottey off him in the crucial moments of the fight.

              I wouldnt be hugely surprised because he has came in at 148 for his last two fight. Roach said he is hitting the hardest he ever has which means he has probably put on a little more weight probably through muscle. I would be surprised and not at the same time I guess.
