    So there, you're wrong.
    It seems that the concept of weight limits is too much for your brain to process. Welterweight limit is 147!!!!! NOT 145!!! any welterweight championship fight should have a limit of 147!!! Is that such a hard concept to understand? Sure you can go into the fight at 141 if you want and win but that is your choice. Cotto was forced to have a weight limit of 145 instead of 147 simple as that and that, in my book, is NOT a legitimate welterweight title fight. He got pwned but that still doesn't change the fact they broke the rules of the division for money.

      First of all I'd like to congratulate Pacquiao for beating the hell out of Cotto in their fight. I had picked Cotto to win but it was clear who was the better fighter that night and any other night for that matter. However I have a beef with the claim of having won a 147 title when they fought at a 145 top weight. I really don't think it would've made a big difference in the outcome but if Pacquiao/Roach wanted a title @ 147 they should've fought at 147. Even if both parts agreed to the terms the WBO simply had to refuse to give a title to someone who fought at a different weight. Once again, I'm not hating on Pac. I love the guy and he's definitely an all time great but I won't recognize him as a 147 champion until he actually wins a championship fight at 147.
      Another idiot. When will your kind vanish?

      141-147 is WW. If you can't understand this, go "peeleft: on yourself.

        Right, it would've made no difference in my opinion. Pac was just too much, he was much better, faster, stronger than Cotto so no argument there. Cotto can't beat pac in a million fights.

          *sigh* it's even funny i have to repeat this again. Let me try and explain it in terms you can grasp. Welterweight 141-147. Last night's fight 141-145. If you can't see it don't give up. One day, with proper training, your IQ will equal a chimp's
