    Cotto Is Not 5' 8"...WTF?

    **** not even 5' 7"...Were they trying to make it look like he was taller so Yuri would look good if he won? It might be me, but I like facts and changing **** just to make a fight look good is unacceptable. The truth is Cotto beat a man that was about 4 1/2" taller. Maybe not an elite fighter, but still worth the mention.

    They said something really ****** when announcing these stats, something like " Miguel Cotto has shrunk in the past to 5'6, today he comes in at 5'8 "

    WHAT THE **** !!!!

        It didn't seem like much, but Yuri does not fight tall.

              They were talking about how he fights low. They said Stewart was trying to make him fight taller.

                I think HBO adds an inch to all the short fighters tbh. I think Floyd, Cotto, are really 5'7 and Pac, Hatton are closer to 5'5. Just a guess...

                  He looked like a lil tank tho. I think he can beat Angulo and Spinks at 154.
