Manny Pacquiao is Not Worried About Cotto's Size

This tarnishes Pac's image. Great fighters of the past didn't pull this crap in regards to weight. If they wanted the title, they fought the champ at that weight. They didn't try to get the champ, so drained he couldn't perform on fight night. Look at what happend to Oscar.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – On Wednesday, November 4, boxing’s No. 1 pound-for-pound king of the ring and the box office and the reigning Fighter of the Year, MANNY “PacMan” PACQUIAO, along with Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, will hosted a Media Day Workout at Wild Card Boxing Club as he continues training for "FIRE POWER" -- the world welterweight championship. The following are Manny Pacquiao's quotes from today's workout. [details]

Well, he should be...

..for the excess weight rather than kill himself by training to loose weight to fight JMM. His tactic worked because it is a non-title fight. Cotto's case is different..His belt is at stakes, he is in to lose big time. His face looks so weak I don't think he can absorb the Pac attack...fight will end within 9 rds.

His face looks weak...I don't doubt for a minute that coming down to 145 will put stress on Cotto, but I am not goint to believe for a minute that it's the equivalent of his getting down to 140, which really kicked his ass. I have a feeling his face will be just fine come fight night.

KO Pac in 1 or Just say No Mas!

During work out Pac has the ability to throw 4-5 punches per sec. vs. MC's 2 power punches per sec. and that is a big problem..power punches drains your body in each rd..plus add the chase factor to your already worn out body and multiply that by say 6 rds againts a charged up featherweight..I seee an overwhelmed MC on the 14th.

Catchweight doesn't mean ****.

Cotto can come in at 147lbs if he wants, all he has to do is pay Pacquiao two million. Which shouldn't be a problem since this is by FAR the biggest pay check Cotto will earn and ever earn in the future.

Pacquaio's last three fights were at 140,145,135 in a interview Roach stated Manny weighed somewhere around 148 on all fight nights.Where is the problem where you don't see Manny being a Welter.

WW is not Manny's normal fighting weight. Manny's most comfortable weight is 140 IMO LW. The catchweight is to protect Manny since Cotto balloons to 160-162 lbs comes fight night. Manny at 148 lbs will be at a great disadvantage by 14 lbs, a huge difference at WW.
