I just wanna know why it was OKAY to fight DLH at 147..but not Cotto..

because DLH was the draw and had the power to make his words final. PAC team made the rules in this fight.

Pacquaio's camp is the one calling the shots now. Miguel is a prime, hard hitter, and undoubtedly a very powerful welterweight. I believe what they're trying to do is to make the fight as COMPETITIVE as they can.

Plus in the Oscar fight, Oscar had to go down one division, Cotto only had to lose 2 pounds. They saw that Oscar also had to work hard in order to make weight so it's a win win situation.

Imagine having to have to train to gain 5 pounds of muscles and training to lose 2 pounds of muscles. Which do you think is harder?

Nah, Floyd is the catch weight KING. Only the King gets away with not actually having to make the catch weight.

Why is Manny Pacquiao being called the catch weight king. If:



2.] He had to gain 5 pounds while Miguel Cotto only has to lose 2 pounds off his natural weight.

Incorrect... pacquiao has to loose weight to make 145. He apparently walks around 155 or so.

Like Eyekonik said.. why not allow cotto to come in at the full welter limit?

just asking!
