    Truth is Cotto knew what he was getting into, he signed the contract b/c he wanted that money at the end of the day it was his decision he could have waited for Mayweather

The problem was he was training himself, there is no way anyone is going to beat Manny if they are preparing themselves for the fight.
      why is it if someone doesn't ***** or complain everythiong is ok? cotto was afighter that struggled to make the 140 weight and if u watch the 24/7 there were times where miguel looked moody because he couldn't eat real food

              catchweight fights happen all the time and rarely does it mean much, especially in this case when we're talking about 1 pound. Pernell Whitaker came down in weight still schooled chavez. Hopkins came down in weight to 156 from 160 and still schooled oscar. In fact, almost always the big guy coming down wins. Check history.

              Ask yourself if cotto vs pac would turned out any differently if not for that one pound.
              are you comparing pernell and bhop to someone like cotto?

              They are better fighters technically than cotto on any day.

                I ask you the same question. Your answer will be the answer to your question. But I don't think you can answer this question because it will shutdown your mind and reasoning.

                (Floyd catchweight fight vs JMM) if it meant nothing..then why ask for the catchweight..??

                  the catchweight was meaningless in that fight.

                  IF they fight again, and it's a catchweight, that would be bull**** though and cotto if put in that position needs to man up and say no.
                  How about Pacquiao mans up and stops begging for catch weights or steroid grace periods?

                      You have to look at things from Cotto's perspective though. It would be like saying no to a second chance and the biggest oppurtunity and payday in his boxing career. I think he will take the fight, and put his belt on the line, at a catchweight as low as 150.

                      Why not? He has the world to gain.
