Pac shound't be called WBO 147 champion.....

[shade darkar]

As it wasn't a welterweight fight, it was a catchweight fight. If it was a Welterweight fight, Cotto could of come in at 147. So in my eyes Pac isn't really a 147 champion, due it not being a 147 fight. FACT........

i feel the title is tainted as it wasnt at 147, however its cottos own fault for accepting 145 with the title on the line, he didnt have to put it on the line. so no1 he can blame but himself.

how was it not a Welterweight fight???

last time I checked 145 was INSIDE the Welterweight limit.

think before you post.

so your saying the Welterweight limit is ***-145
but i thought it was ***-147

[skullduggery]

145 is welterweight... if cotto didnt think so, then he wouldnt have taken the fight... pac is lineal champ of 147 imo

[Brutal_KO]

I rate manny very highly , but all this catchweight crap, is one of the reason's why i dont rate him as high as sugar ray robinson, duran, armstrong and langford. Also hatton, oscar and cotto have all looked drained and weak when they thought pacman, i want to see many against a fresh hungry lion like paul williams, floyd mayweather, valero or devon alexander

Hatton and Cotto looked drain and weak? LOL

I get what your saying but at the same time I feel that the fighters who sign for a welterweight fight should have the freedom to come in at 141-147.

He choose to weigh in at 146 vs Clottey, He HAD to weigh in under 145 vs Pacquiao, thats the difference.

This was a great win for Pacquiao and theres no excuses BUT this was not a real welterweight fight, if it was a real welterweight fight then the limit would have been 147 not 145.

for every lb cotto was over 145, he would have to pay pac 1 million $$$$.
as long as cotto wasnt over 147, roach was gonna let the fight happen.

so technically cotto could of came in @ 147, he would of had to pay 2mill.

145 is welterweight... if cotto didnt think so, then he wouldnt have taken the fight... pac is lineal champ of 147 imo

so are your saying 145 is new welterweight limit
can you tell me when the welterweight limit was change from 147 to 145

No what he is saying is that it is still a ww fight, it's just not at the ww limit.

Here we go...People trying to find anything to tarnish the win.

don't know you typed that brought the stars up, but for people to say that Pac shouldn't be called at WW champion should look at the weight for WW's.
