When he was at 130 VS Barerra

At Cotto
One looks damn better than the other.
When he was at 130, he rehydrated by 13/14 lbs. That's 10% of his body weight.
At 144, he rehydrated to 149. Tat's 5 lbs and only 3% of his bodyweight.
That is an extra 7% of muscle. To the right areas like your calves, arms, back etc... you can hit harder.Comment

I read it but I don't buy into the he rehydrates to 147-148, so he should be able to move up better. Joan Guzman was knocking people out at 122. At 126/130 his power was decent. At 135, I didn't see the power. Mind you, Joan Guzman would also rehydrate to 146/148. Overall, he couldn't perform anywhere near as good as he did in the lower weights.
Corrales would also blow up to 147. Corrales was a one punch knock out artist at 130. He didn't get better as he moved up. Throw JLC into that same boat.
There are alot of other examples, I'm sure Clottey isn't gonna be more effective at 154. Cintron doesn't even look good at 154, Margarito ain't the same dude at 154 as he was at 147. These are also dudes who blow up.
Like I said, no good arguments as to why Pacquiao has been that succesful on the move up. Unless we're all willing to admit he's that special. Because of what happened in the whole month of December/ still ongoing, I'm not willing to admit that.Last edited by Doctor_Tenma; 01-01-2010, 05:19 PM.Comment

Well... People claim that Cotto was weight drained at ****ing 145 so I guess Manny has to be weight drained at... 138 or something like that.Comment

He definitely looks more full at 44, but at 130 he looked like most boxers do at weigh in's. And it didn't affect his performance against Barrera at all. He won every round.When he was at 130 VS Barerra

I think you are confused. Hatton was a good win, he got caught cold. Cotto is one of the least durable WWs out there. pacquiao would not even hurt guys like mosley or clottey. He could UD them though.I read it but I don't buy into the he rehydrates to 147-148, so he should be able to move up better. Joan Guzman was knocking people out at 122.
