    Hey DLT, if two pounds doesn't matter, why fight Canelo at 152?

      roach asked for 143.

      cotto said 145.
      Oh, so it was COTTO who demanded the catchweight.

      Glad to see this has been cleared up.

                Freddie Roach is a ****. Simple as that.

                He has been speculating opponents weight ever since Manny fought Morales. Freddie has even gone on record and, basically, admitted he drains fighters to get an advantage for his fighter. They went back on the agreement with Marg and asked him to come down to nearly WW to fight for a 154 lb title. They asked Cotto to come to 142, then they agreed to no more than 145. They asked him to put up his title too.

                Let's just be honest....Team Pac understands the dynamics of a fighter's weight and his performance, and shamelessly manipulate this when they feel the need.

                  Very good point. Roach is a smart business man and loves Manny, he is really only looking out for him. But of course as fans, it's hard to realize because really all we want to see is a good fight without all the advantages.
