This^^^

I mean cotto has more than likely been boxing since he was 15-16 so he knows his body inside and out. He said before the fight, and even to this day that he felt fine. His S&C said the weight wasn't an issue as well as his trainer and whole team. So when posters complain it's really a moot point.

I get the Oscar argument. Even though Oscar was talking about going to 147 for awhile now. Even before Pac was even considered. Even though Oscar was the one who picked the weight. I get that argument, Oscar hasn't made the weight in years. So I understand that argument...

But, don't compare that to Cotto.

[Khalid X]

If he felt soo great. Why did he WANT it at 147? I mean 145 is the money weight for him he feels like a million bucks right.

Fact is THE CHALLENGER made the Champ get to 145 when the XChampion won the belt at 147.

Thats bull****.

Why is it bull****? No one has/had an issue with it except Floyd fans. Cotto and his team were cool with it before and after the fight...so what's the problem?

cotto's a stand up guy.....he's not the type of fighter to make excuses, so he's not gonna say he felt "weak" or "weaker" at 145.


he's moving up to 154 after that fight, so.....

[S.G.]

Cotto was fine at 145lbs but that's besides the point. I think that particular contract stipulation was brought up to highlight the hypocrisy of a Pacquiao defender slamming Mayweather for "making the rules" or attempting to supercede the commission, when in fact Pacquiao is probably the biggest diva around right now.

Like I just said. Why did Cotto want this fight at 147?

Good job.

Oscar wanted at 147 also so what is your point? Because you're bitching about that....

Cotto came in 1lb less from his last fight, before the fight he said he felt great. After the fight he said the weight was not an issue and felt great... So what is exactly is the problem Burner? You know his body more than he does? Is that what is going on here...

The commission doesn't give a FCK about the fighters, all they want to see is a war, to help boost boxing. Hence why they love fighters like Pacman and won't do a damn thing even if he is dirty. Its up to the fighter to protect himself, not some board of old men wanting to see blood dripping from your face in a 15 round duel to the death old school style. Any fighter would agree with that...

Thats not true my dude.

Diamond belt unveiled for Pacquiao-Cotto


World Boxing Council officially unveiled its Diamond Belt which will be presented to the winner of the Nov. 14 face-off between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto.

The unveiling happened Wednesday at the Corona auditorium in Mexico which was led by WBC president Jose Sulaiman who announced that the belt will be for high profile catch weight bouts.

The belt’s components include 18-karat gold plates, 861 diamonds, six rubies, 221 emeralds and 180 Swarovzki crystals all mounted on an Italian Ferrari leather and displays the pictures of both Pacquiao and Cotto as well as the Puerto Rican and Philippine flags.

The idea of presenting a diamond belt came about when Cotto, though agreeing to battle Pacquiao at a catch weight of 145 lb, initially refused to stake his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight belt unless the Filipino reconsiders fighting at 147.

Eventually Cotto gave in to Pacquiao’s demand of staking the WBO title in their catch weight battle. Both combatants also agreed to recognize the diamond belt after the WBC assured no sanction fees will be charged to either fighter.



Cotto wanted this fight at 147 Pounds.

He didnt want his strap on the line and rightfully so, Like he said he won his belt being allowed to weigh the limit.

So they create a belt out the blue for this fight to stick it up Cottos ass.

Pac made Cotto weigh 145. But right after they almost fought at 154. Thats bull****.

If 145 wasnt a issue Cotto would still be a WW right now.

Pac is a tremondous diva and he does make contract stipulation. I will not argue that...

But, don't sit here and tell me that Cotto was not fine when he clearly said he was. Don't compare it to Oscar when Oscar hadn't fought at WW in years. And, when Cotto weight-in at 146 in his previous fight.

The Point

if you didnt support Manny Pacquiao taking a random drug test, Do not turn around and ask other fighters to take a random drug test.

Answer to this =

I'll support random blood test if it gets adopted and becomes a standard regulation by boxing commission but if it's dictated by a scared fight, hell NO.

just my opinion...

What do you think Cotto is going to say? Look at his promoter. Did you forget that golf course meeting Cotto had with Oscar? Money make you do DUMB **** ask Marquez.

He shouldve fought straight up at 147 like a man. Floyd didnt move up making champs fight at catch weights.
