    Your ko% usually drops when you step up in competition.

        It looks more like what he's saying is that he used to overtrain, not drain himself to make weight.

            Yes, it was Pacquiao's fault that they don't fight on optimal weights, poor fighters, bullied by bad, bad Manny Pacquiao.

                Usually.....but if you want to take a special very rare case and turn it into a rule you go ahead and do that.

                  Diaz was a journeyman. And Hatton was the only guy Pac laid out cold. Clottey isn't a KO fighter period. He's a flurry fighter who attacks in bursts then shells up. He's elite far as skills, but his workrate is his Achilles heel.

                    Calm down, Betty. I didn't know Cotto wanted to fight at 145 to defend his 147 pound title. Pac's a lucky dude!

                      You accusing cotto of being unable to fend for himself? i didn't know he was coerced into accepting 145.

                      Oh, and no one makes demands on DLH, no one.
