    Lol, I think Team Pacq have been decieving a lot of people with the "Smaller man" stuff, Pac isnt small anymore to the viewing eye but he can still make 142 ish without too much hurt on his body, They gain an advantage by having Cotto to come down to 145, Very smart of them.

      He could make 138 only last May, too. He isn't huge, especially compared to some WW's, but he's certainly big enough to compete in the WW division.

        145 catchweight was garbage and it will hurt the legacy of that win when years from now people look back at it.

          Nobody will remember what they weighed years from now or care.

            Disagree. People won't really consider it a big deal, especially since Cotto himself never made any excuses, they'll just see the names on the resume and remember a great fight. Do you talk of the catchweight fight of 1940 between Armstrong and Jenkins?

              Sadly, no.. I don't recall any catchweight fight in the history of the sport that's tainted an ATG and there's been several. Outside of a boxing historian diehard, no one cares. All they know is that their man won, and impressively so.

                He may be smaller as far as physical dimensions, but he has full-fledged power and punch resistance at welterweight. To treat him as anything less than a welterweight considering what he just did to Cotto is ridiculous.

                  Spot on. Both Hatton and DLH talked about their size advantage and how that would show in their fight but on fight night Manny looked the more strong and powerful. Richardson is smart and looks out for his fighters and is making sure nobody in his camp underestimates Manny in the event of there being a fight with Shane.
