Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Clottey: No Catch-Weight Needed Says Arum

[Shattered Jaw]

**** head what they were saying is that in the guys first real fight against a p4p welteweight it was fair for cotto to come down to 145 which is basically 1lb from his average weigh in. i thought cotto looked in the best shape of his career he was not at all weight drained and he got the biggest payday of his career. pac was ****ing fighting at 130 a couple years earlier. i love cotto but he wasn't handicapped he just got the **** kicked out of him by one of the best fighters of all time which is exactly what he said.

dammn...cotto stans can't take the beating pac gave cotto.

ur so far up cotto's ass it's unbelievable.

Thanks lads, I know what I meant and he was nit-picking.

To PRBoxer: Cotto was clearly a far greater threat to Pac than DLH at 147. Anyway, they both weighed in at 145.

Hope Roach knows what hes in for

Roach has never put a restriction on any fighters' rehydration weight. It's a myth.

i seriously doubt it

why did the foreman/santos fight night weights were displayed by HBO and not the cotto/pacquiao one?

why did the FIRST thing that joe santiago gave cotto when he climbed up the ring was water?

weird

Doubt if Roach had the power to do it. Or any trainer for that matter

[disolly]

should be a good one, clottey is a tough fighter, will be a very hard fight for pac, if he pulls it off, its a great name to add to the resume.

[lefthook2daliva]

But yet, he needed one for Cotto.!!!!!

Yeah. I don't get it. Why not? On the other hand, what was the purpose of asking for one w/Cotto?

I'd really like some explanation other than just bein' called names for asking the question...

why does may vs de la hoya never displayed the fight night weights? From a guy who watches boxing all the time, cotto last showed his fight night weight at the urkal fight. That was the last time i saw that hbo showed cotto's weight. They didnt even show it during the margarito and mosley fight.

Because pac wasn't a proven welterweight at that time? jeez.

i wasn't talking about roach

i was talking about arum man. he didn't want any chance of spoiling pac/floyd

they displayed chavez jr fight night weight, santos's, foreman's, but not the ones from the main fight? i had never seen that, nor that "give the fighter plenty of water" right before the fight

[csko-2k1]

he doesn't need catchweight for clottey but for cotto he did!!two pounds killed cotto,,two pounds helped mayweather vs marquez,,,cotto was skinnier that ever vs manny,,pacquiao didn,t even want 14 day random etc..taken..pacquiao is taking these fights but out of all i think this one might be true,cause he isn't gonna drain this guy like the others....but watch him come out with something at the end,,,catchweight at 140 vs clottey!!!!!!
