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

[jrosales13]

Of course, I wasn't there. But HBO does put up fight night weigh in/

Mayweather was 146 against Judah fight night
While Pacman was 145 at 130 against JMM

That is unofficial weigh-in. Those are not facts. You honestly how they weigh-in. There is no rules for unofficial weigh-in. I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it. Since there is really no way to know much they really weigh in the ring. Until HBO starts showing the public the unofficial weigh-in. Then it shouldn't be taken serious.

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

Cotto hasn't allowed himself to be weighed on fight night since 2007.


Here's the one from 2005 vs Corley:

[Syf]

or a 140-lb fight, Cotto came into the ring at 157 lbs.

17lbs...

so if he puts on 17 from 145...he could be.. 162..

manny meanwhile.. could put on as much as 13, but prob lower...which would put him at 154-5'ish

[dibzvincent143]

pac was 139lbs during the hatton weigh in.
cotto was 146lbs during the clottey weigh in.

how the hell 145lbs catchweight for pac-cotto is not fair?
some people dont give respect or credit to pac for that..

people say "pac weigh 147+ during fight night so why not fight cotto at 147 then?"
what about COTTO?!he weighs 160 during fight night.
so why not make a fight at 154 or 160 then??!

people say pac's team technique was draining his opponents.
WHEN??!

ODLH was at 154.weighs 165 at fight night.
pac was at 135. weighs 146 at fight night.
147 is halfway!and just right.
what do u expect pac to do?go straight to 154lbs??
nobody knows dlh was going to be weight drained that night.
so stop bitching about it.

pac-diaz at 135.
pac came out 146
diaz came out at 148.

pac-hatton at 140
pac came out 149
hatton came out 152.


your thoughts?

[WhoreUs]

so fight night weight = division???

yes.

cotto is a super middleweight.

LOL every time you make a thread you got owned after 5 pages

look at their weight differences(Pac/opponents) by fight night compared to cottos

cotto should be the one fighting at middleweight not WW

i agree...the weigh ins should be on fight night

i'll bet you Cotto would ***** out if that ever happened

It used to be that way, but from what I understand it was changed for safety reasons. Fighters drained themselves to make weight, then fought on the same day, putting them at higher risk for brain damage since there's not as much fluid around their brain to cushion against blows to the head.

Day-before weigh ins give them a chance to recover and rehydrate before taking the pounding...pause.
