Pacquiao: Catch weight King?
Collapse

Ok, Roach was trying to take a way a 2 pounds of advantage off Cotto. Because you know why? They were trying to make the fight as competitive as possible. It's what I was keep on saying. PAC IS A NATURALLY SMALLER GUY. EVEN EVERYONE from the PRESS and BOXING MEDIA knows that.
They were balancing the equations out. They were trying to even out the odds.
BALANCE.
CATCHING WEIGHT
HELL if it's so much of a disadvantage, then Cotto shouldn't have accepted it.

And answer this question please, how heavy does Cotto walk at?
Oh and in regards to gaining weight, yes, they're trying to gain 5 pounds of muscles as opposed to losng water weight and little fats.
all i know is cotto said he would try to rehydrate to 155, cotto may walk around 160 but its a guess. why what are you trying to get at??
oh yea bout your 5 pound theory.. quoted for truth and sense..
EyeKonK :
what all you CLOWNS aren't getting is that you guys think Pacquiao walks around 140 and had to gain 5lbs to make weight..that's not the case here..
Cotto has to lose about 20lbs while Pacquiao would only have to lose about 10lbs..

now like I said..if you do some training yourself..you'd know..there's only so much you could cut before you start cutting muscle..and that's where you get killed..because muscle contains about 70% water..and that's why they can't even stand when they cut down too much weight..
Cotto makes 147 comfortably..I won't even say easily..I'll say comfortably..those 2lbs will affect Cotto..I won't use that as an excuse..but like I said..Pacquiao has fought at 147lb before..he wants a WW belt..(yes I know WW is 141-147) ..so why not fight the man at the limit you fought at before?..

because Williams has fought actively in 3 different weight classes from WW to JMW to MW
Since Cotto left 140...he hasn't looked back or came back for anybody..so why would he now?..
Williams has..he's been at 160 and came back to 147 to get a fight with no problem..so Williams has more control with his weight being that he's taller and he fits those 3 divisions perfectly..Cotto is short and muscular (stocky) he can't cut much more weight or he'd be dehydrated and it could be dangerous for him to even fight..
I'll tell you now..if he would've agreed to Roach's dumb ass 143..Cotto would've collapsed..
Im sure cotto wouldve just died with an extra 2lbs, and the entire boxing world would attend his fueneral.
I give paul williams credit for fluctuating 3 different weight classes, but some how cotto just dies from moving 147 to 143? (he's going to 145), if thats the case, he shouldnt be fighting at welterweight, which makes him a huge welterweight.
Manny is not a natural welterweight, thus they made Cotto move down to 145. His trainer said it was no problem.
He did fight ODLH at 147, because he was coming from 130 the same year. If you cant understand the circumstances behind this then I cant help you any further.
If Cotto is moving down 2lbs, and youre complaining about a catchweight since Manny fought ODLH at 147, then you should have no problem with floyd fighting Paul Williams at 154.
