These guys are jokes there are several fights where two pounds made a huge difference, Corrales-Castillo 2 the most notable. Morales was also weight drained and tried to fight Pacman at 135 because he was already weak at 130 and they again weight drained him, this time Morales out grew the weight and had bad legs like he complained about in the 6th-8th round. Morales was schooling him to, made a huge difference in weight.
Fact is Pacman has yet to face a healthy prime fighter and win. He had a draw against JMM got a lucky decision in the second fight. Pacman hasn't even faced a healthy fighter in a long time. Clottey being the exception, but he is a punching bag with a good defense.
Roach will not put Pacman in a fight where they don't have a advantage of some sort, weight drain seems to be their favorite. They don't want a fair fight plain and simple, they don't fight people that are in their prime, they don't fight people that haven't been beat in wars, they don't fight people at proper weight classes. They won't drug test.
I mean seriously I like Pacman but he has great match makers who are very good at negotiating contracts, nothing more. Pacman would have had a harder time with a guy who is use to fighting at his right weight, Cotto would have had better stamina, he would have also had more pop to his punches. His chin has always suffered from weight drain.
Pacman will get my respect when he fights fighters that have motion and are fighting with in their weight class in their prime. Bradley, Alexander, Miranda, etc. are all fighters he should be scrapping with. The 147 pound division isn't made for him, he has to cherry pick fighters or fight them at a disadvantage and I disagree with anything that is like that. Margarito for instance would be a terrible match for Pacman, someone use to being slower and having a ridiculous chin with a output to match him.
If it wasn't such a big deal why did professionals make sure they had a 145 pound weight limit? There is a reason people who know more about boxing than any of us fans wanted a weight limit lighter and it was to drain Cotto.
