Why didnt the P4P King fight the WW Champ @147lbs?

[One - Shot]

Pac's last 3 fights he weighed 147lbs so why is he fighting Cotto @ a catchweight?






I'm wondering do you think it was strategic?

That's the weight on fightnight...

[Jiddu Dali]

What logic?
These *****s don't even have any grey matters. The contents of their skulls is all cums of floyds.

*sigh*

you my friend have no logic to use.

This is NOT a Mayweather thread....I posed the QUESTION about Pac's last 3 fights and why he weighed 147 lbs?

What on earth does Pacquiao weighting 147 lbs in his last 3 fights have to do with mayweather?...lol

[jrosales13]

Who are you talking about??

Since you mentioned Floyd fight night weight and Pac fight night weight. I was just curious if you seen them there weight-in on fight night?

[dibzvincent143]

your an idiot!look at diaz' weight its 148!but still he fights at 135.
look a hatton's weight its 152 but he still fights at 140.
look at cotto's weight its 160 by fight night.but he fights at 147.
why not fight at 154 or 160??he can make the weight right?.
u guys just dont get it.

While Pacman was 145 at 130 against JMM

What logic again? You don't even know what you are talking about and here you are talking about logic. You should've have stayed in school.

pac fought dlh at 147 because thats the right weight.
dlh from 154 and pac from 135.
thats half way.

pac is fighting cotto at 145.
pac is 139 and cotto is at 146 during their last fight weigh in.
thats not even halfway.but pac got the balls.

yeah.thats true pac weighs 146+ during fight night.
but what about cotto??he will weigh more or less 160lbs.
what about hatton?he we weighed 155lbs during fight night while pac is 149 at most.

ask me about delahoya?
nobody knows he's going to be weight drained during fight night.
if not,hed probably go 160-165lbs.
BUT pac will beat him still


SOOO?why not COOTTO fight pavlik at 160??
he can weigh 160!

wait wait wait man...i never mentioned Cotto's weight...i was wondering why people think Pac came in weighing 147lbs in his last 3 fights...

I was not attacking Pac

ALL WW fighters after weighing 147.. In fight night they will weigh about 160lbs!

pac is fighting a legitimate 147 lber. pac is only a small bloated 135-140 fighter.

I actually posted this in another thread, but it's relevant here IMO:

Ok, it seems like there is a misunderstanding of cutting weight. As someone who used to wrestle, I know how it works.

A fighter shouldn't be anywhere near the restricted weight until the final moments of the weigh in. About 24 hours before that moment, the fighter should be around 5-10 pounds greater than what they need to weigh in. To lose those last few pounds, said person will start cutting. This means dehydration (by not drinking or sweating) and selective nutrition. This ensures that come weigh in, the fighter makes weight at their biggest possible size. During weigh ins, the fighter is nowhere near their regular weight, but drained for maximum size come fight night.

An expereinced cutter knows how much they can cut, so they'd maintain a certain weight until it comes time to cut. If people's claim of Cotto comming in fight night at 152-155 is true, that is how much he needs to weigh right now until the 24 hours before (or however long it takes Cotto to cut) of wiegh ins. If he's 155, it doesn't mean he needs to lose 1lb per day(because it's 10 days till fight night), otherwise when it is time to cut, he'd be WAY under 145, and rehydrate back up to 145.
