Cotto better not make the mistake DLH made....

[Doctor_Tenma]

cotto will never get close to pac's speed. that's not his advantage. his advantage is his size and strength.

that's like the vikings going to greenbay and not giving the ball to peterson.

You're wrong Pull. Hatton, DLH, David Diaz couldn't touch Pacquiao. Cotto's durability is good enough, he is gonna need every speed he can get. I'd say he should come into the ring weighing 153. Cotto looked slow nough against Clottey. You think that Cotto could catch up to him? I don't think so.

Yea but difference is that DLH didn't make that weight in such a long time

Cotto coming in at 153lbs on fight night = Dead Man Walking.....

Cotto trained 3 months for Margarito too. Looked pretty sharp to me.

[swizz]

Which is "overtrain".
Think about it....DLH was already in the 145lbs-142lbs range with about 2 weeks to go. That means DLH would be re-hydrating to what after cutting weight?
Cotto has put in an extra 4 weeks of training for this fight correct? Anyone know what weight he is at now? For Cotto to keep his "size/ strength" advantage...he SHOULD be around the 152lbs-158lbs range. That way...when Cotto cuts the weight...he'll re-hydrate back up to around 160lbs. If Cotto comes into the ring come fight night at anything LESS than 158lbs......his "size/strength" advantage will have disappeared.

My loyalty is not to any one fighter in this match....but if Cotto doesn't keep his "advantages"....he'll be in for a long night. My prediction....Pacquiao via late round stoppage (10th round). Anyone want to take me for my points....msg. me

DISCUSS!

i think he had to so he could make weight...im talking bout dlh

[Shadow boxer 3]

oscar had to cut a whole lot of weight, cotto only has to cut a pound or two. it shouldnt affect him

[El Chicano]

The mistake he made is accepting the fight with Pacquiao. Manny's gonna whoop that ASS.

[King Jaffe Joffer]

LOL I love how people keep saying 1 extra pound isnt gonna hurt Cotto.. Well it certainly isnt gonna help him.. If it wasnt such a problem he wouldnt have start training 4 weeks ahead of time. He knew it would be a problem

I'm confidant in a Pacquiao victory.....but c'mon....sarcasm or not....comments like that are just

That's fine and all...but to weigh 142lbs 2 weeks BEFORE the fight?!?!?!?!?! As a veteran....DLH and his camp should've had him at 150lbs...cut the 3lbs then go re-hydrate back to above 150lbs....but to have Pac outweigh him on fight night (pac = 148lbs...DLH = 147lbs) COME ON!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Nacho was trying to implement some Marquez strategy on DLH...forgetting he was a JrMW....
