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

[mnbv]

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

cotto is drained? your brain is the one that is drained! stop excuses loser!

Is it a Junior Welter Weight fight?

No because the limit is 140.

Anything above that, and not above the 147 LIMIT, is pretty much a WW fight to me.

It could have been a 147 limit without the 145 stipulation, and they still probably would have come in at a very similar weight. Cotto came in at 146 against Clottey, so were talking about a measely pound right here. Plus they change weights so much come fight night often it really is splitting hairs.

WW.

even if it was at 147

the results would had been the same

stop makeing excuse's

[sycomantz]

that is the biggest load of bull I've read yet.

please tell me what cottos weight was on fight night with clottey vs manny. the difference between the two fight night weights will tell you how bad cutting 1lbs was for cotto

[solo20]

no im saying that the welterweight division spans from 141-147... they dont HAVE to weigh 147 to be in the WW division... Seeing as the wbo sanctioned the fight, and cotto chose to defend it, i think ur the only one that has a problem with those punk ass 2 lbs....

and where in my post did i say i had a promble with it you punk ass ****

[sycomantz]

you clowns keep talking about, "oh cotto fought clottey at 146, 145 isnt that big of a deal"

well if pac is campaigning at WW, and they wanted cottos belt which was won at 147, how come roach didnt agree to fight at 146, let alone 147?

b/che knew that extra lbs would tax cottos body. Roach plans this ****...why are yall acting like this isnt roach's MO

I don't have the fight night weights, but I would assume that Cotto weighed around Jnr Middleweight.

[TheUndertaker]

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.

He did have to put the title on the line, get your facts right before you post! Fran****so Valcarcel, the WBO President, told Cotto and Pac that this would have to be for the title. At first Cotto said it was not because it was at a catchweight but he was forced to defend it because Franky boy said that it was still under the welterweight limit, which is bull****! If it was a welterweight limit fight, then he should of been allowed to weigh the limit of 147. Either way it's no excuse and Pacman did his job and Cotto didn't! I am a Cotto fan, but he was dominated by Pacman. Pacman has earned my respect as a legitimate threat to anyone. Will Gayweather ever fight him, highly doubtful because he will do whatever he can to make the fight not happen. Gayweather will come with the bull**** that he is the attraction and should get 75% of the pot and Pac 25%, when everyone knows he couldn't attract flies to ****! If anything the fight should be 60% Pac, 40% Gayweather and that's being real generous!
