Those that say Cotto's weight was not a factor againts Pac, ***** about how OTC is.

[Vasyl’s dad]

those 2 pounds effected cotto. whos to say that cotto wasn't gonna come in at the full limit of 147???

fat asses who've never fought in combat sports wouldn't know this.

1 or 2 pounds are the HARDEST to lose. after you've lost those last little pounds you feel WEAK......they don't come off easy.

it took something out of cotto to come down to 145.....

Cotto himself.

5 times he came in within a pound to a pound and a half of 145.

When he fought Jennings, the fight before Manny,

he came in at 146.

But yea,

that one extra pound,

made all the difference in the world.

I do think weight draining is more detrimental than a blood test. As far as the Cotto/Pac fight, Cotto just got beat. He chose to be macho and not move his head or feet.

[Bastian Loc]

Really. How is not having to eat while trainning not be more of a factor on condition then taking a blood test? Cotto ( in the 24/7) was not happy and confortable about not eating. He was pissed that his camp was sneaking out to get grub while they had all agree they would stick out the eating ristrictions with him.

If the pounds did not mean anything. Why did Pac's team inforce it?

Exactly man.

They wanna have it both ways.

"oh 2 pounds ain't shit, but let us have em' anyway, even though we don't need em, let us have em"



The truth is that Roach and Pacroid knew they couldn't beat a healthy Cotto so they not only cheated him with peds but with a catchweight on top of it to ensure victory.

Did look like cotto had a lot in the tank,or why was he dancing and jabbing from the 7round til the last round so well.could it be he found out, he could not out trade manny?I believe the later as too many found that out.

Let me guess your puerto rican? right? have you ever though maybe cotto lost cuz he isn't all that great????

LOL,,,,trust me am far from being Puerto Rican. No offence to PR. Can you make out my littleMAC avator? I think you can figure what I am. Anyway, all am saying its hypocritical to say that two or one pound is nothing while saying taking a blood test is because your a fan of a fighter and not of the sport in general.

[King Ju-Ju]

the cw demand was a ***** move imo but pac is 2 fast 4 cotto. i said b4 the fight that if manny has enough power 2 hurt cotto, he would win because he is so fast. i knew he would get 2 hit cotto and if he could hurt him, i felt he would beat him.

If Floyd have balls just fight Cotto, PAC fight his leftover why not Floyd?

If floyd want he could do a jmm against Cotto, and I still think Cotto beat him.

[Check_hooks]

Cotto himself say that making weight wasnt the problem. HE SAID IT HIMSELF.

You do realize Cotto was running scared for half the fight right? And Cotto still got the beatdown of his life. Pac could fight Cotto at any weight and he would get KTFO.

[littlemac]

Manny is running out of fight,would you want to see manny fight cotto again At 154lb and manny still at 148lb ? Me Ithink same outcome, did you know I called that fight,said manny will drive cotto backward and win out trade him. most said yea right,but that was the key.

All that is irrelevant to my thread bud. Am justing saying that its funny that folks are saying that losing 1 or 2 pounds is nothing compared to taking a blood test.
