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

[Jiddu Dali]

no i meant i posted that long message about cutting weight in another thread: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=34

i'll see if i can find Cotto's fights online though. i was lucky because pacquiao's full fight archive is online here http://www.philboxing.tv/2009/09/06/...o-fight-video/

wow..nice...u have any other fighters archives?

oh and u stay in oceanside?...im in the OC

[Jiddu Dali]

LOL

he came in at

134 1/2
142
138

are you talking about fight night weight?

list down cottos last 3

yes fight night weight..and I asked for Cotto's last 3 fight night weights...woud love to see that madness

[Syf]

So what happens if they don't make weight? Pay up like floyd or cancel the fight? just saying man

it wouldn't make much difference from if they couldn't make weight as the system is now..

only there would be no cutting of weight..

Whatever people weigh when they are top fighting form...should be the weight class they fight at..

But that's just blind idealism, I know

[Mr. Philadel]

Brother Richardson has gone on record many times sayin'....Manny IS NOT a small dude.......he said if you go in with Pac thinkin' he's a small dude then you're "****ED"

[johncods]

every 135 lber?

and ive been watching boxing since 1981

how long have u been watching boxing?

so fight night weight = division???

[johncods]

theres a dude here with a sig of tale of the tape of cotto vs. someone where cotto weighed 159 so cotto should be fighting middleweight???

[Maidana vs Rios]

You must be new to boxing.

Fight night weight and weigh-in weight are two different things.

It's been that way since the 80's.



As far as Cotto, the last time Cotto allowed himself to be weighed on fight night was in 2007 when he fought Urkal. He came into the ring at 159 lbs for that fight.


In 2005, against Corley for a 140-lb fight, Cotto came into the ring at 157 lbs.

man this is not a hate thread...im just saying if Pac is able to weight 147 lbs and be effective like his last 3 fights.....why would he need to have the WW champ weight in @ 145 lbs?

thats all...

and I would love to see Cotto's fight night weight in his last 3 fights

this is awful....(in red)

and NOT every fighter puts on weight for the fight...tons of fighters stay the same or near their weigh in weight....
