the weigh in is 24 hours before the fight. im not talking about that 1 pound. im talking about the weight on fight nite. he didnt rehydrate like he normaly does is all im saying. since you mention the clottey fight why was cotto never hurt vs a naturally bigger and stronger guy for 12 rounds. and then he was easily hurt buy a naturally smaller guy? the only reason i can see is he was better hydrated vs clottey, i didnt see him skinney and ribbs showing in that fight.
Time to put an end to the "Manny put Cotto at a disadvantage with the weight.

dont ever underestimate the ego of a fighter that's carrying the title of pound4pound best...but the good thing is; Cotto was professional and made the agreed weight...some fighters dont even honor that and pull an even bigger **** move by not even trying....Comment

No harm was done there. Mayweather came in at 146, as he said "This is a WW fight" and Freddie Roach/ Pacquiao restricted Cotto from coming in at 147. I wonder where the harm was done?

Co sign these pinos cant handle the truth. delusional, even when you blatantly say pac would have still won they say"excuses" . just dumb. like cotto is suppose to turn down millionsAll boxers fight for money and Pacquaio brings more money than any other fight out there for cotto, So he has to take the fight, I really dont care if he wasnt made to sign the contract what is wrong is wrong and the fact that Pac could use his star power to have a 147 fight at 145 with the organisation sanctioning it has a title fight is WRONG.....simply WRONG.
Like i said before even at 147 or 148 Manny pacquiao would have kicked Cotto's a** the sameway but it doesnt take away what i feel is one of the things that is wrong in boxing.Comment

No i dont, The internet and boxing didnt mix and at the time, Boxing knowledge and negotation wasnt around to be discuss on the net at the time so yes i dont feel the same way about a fight that happen before MY era, Am talking about a recent fight and a fight that happen in MY era.Comment

Well sometime you would see a difference between someone who thinks and acknowledge whats wrong or right while sometimes some people stick to their fighter like glue, I dont care what excuse or accusation i get about Pacquiao i just think people like to make excuses tooo much for everything that he does that someone else look at as wrong.
So my point still stand in saying making a 147 title fight for 145 and getting the organisation to sanction it as a title fight left a bad taste, The same way people still talk about the BS Sugar ray leonard pulled against lalonde (Name??)
And by the way Was the Pavlik-Hopkins fight for any organisation belt at 170???Comment

First of all im a HUGE cotto fan...
manny pacquaio put on a clinic against cotto for no other reason then that pac is one of the greatest fighters ever. Weight had nothing to do with it; he is just on another level.Comment
