Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[Chaos]

If you have ever boxed or wrestled than you know how much cutting 2 pounds can take a toll on your body, strength, and stamina. Obviously everybody defending catch weights havent boxed or wrestled.

Cotto didn't have to cut 2 lbs cause he had already come in at 146 against Clottey 5 months before the Pac fight. You lot are crying over 1 ****ING POUND.

You are douche dont you know that.. Hatton is a legit 140 lb fighter.. His last 2 fights before Pac were at LWW.. His best wins were at 140. In fact he is the lineal LWW champ when Pac fought him. If anything he was forced to move up in weight to fight Floyd..

Did you watch any of hattons fights apart from Mayweather and Pacquiao? He almost got KO'd in a tune up fight against Lazcano after Mayweather. His yo yo weight took it out of him. Having to lose 20+lbs in 8 weeks and then draining another 10lb his going to take a hell of alot out of someones body especially after doing it multiple times.

Pacquiao was around the same weight fight night as he was at 130 he gained one or two lbs (probably due to his head getting bigger. LOL). Moving up basically helped him because he didn't have to drain himself (just make others do it).

Oh please.. We are talking about cutting down on weight..aren't we..When he fought Hatton he weighed in at 139.. That's 3 lbs from his last weigh in (142).. Are you telling me that the 3 lbs does not affect him, while the 1lb from Cotto does..So you are telling me its nothing for Pac while its draining for Cotto.. lol..

Fact is, Hatton's best weight was always 140. Whether he ballooned between fights doesn't change the fact that he was fighting outside his best weight class for Floyd and in best weight class against Pac.

Floyd knows he lost in the fact he felt more beat up than Cotto, and felt even worse than after fighting Castillo.
Cotto was the toughest.

Floyd is just greatful judges meticulously count his punches that land even the pitty patty ones that are easier to land as they have no power.

I agree but boxing is business and floyd is the cash cow not cotto.

I hope Cotto does not get frustrated after this loss and lets Díaz go. I don't think Cotto could fight any better at this stage of his career than he is doing now and Díaz is responsible for this.

let's hope so. they had a good training camp and prepared well. cotto looked like he didn't give a shit what diaz was yelling at him in the corner though. the dude was all up on his face too lol. i remember cotto saying on 24/7 that the guy was obnoxiously loud. he wasn't fond of his style but trusted his methods... we'll see.

Yes, you're the only person on this forum who's ever had to cut weight. If it was so hard then why did Cotto come in at 146 for Clottey? Why didn't he need to skip for an hour to make 145 for Pac? When fighters have trouble they usually come in over weight (like Floyd against Marquez), not underweight (like Cotto against Clottey).

[Jam Jars]

Again, fighters move up in weight class all the time, it doesn't mean they were struggling every time to make weight. So should Cotto get special credit for all his wins at 147 cause he was struggling at that weight? And if 147 was so difficult for him why did he weigh 146 for Clottey, 5 months before the Pac fight?

If you know anything about boxing you would know fighters find it harder to make weight as they get older and move up in weight. Cotto had come to that point for the Pacquiao fight. A persons body can change a lot in 5 months and like as been asked so many times, why ask for 145 if it wasn't going to affect Cotto.

I was never really into the new trainer hype ,but I must say Pedro Diaz appears to have done a good job with cotto
