Comments Thread For: Margarito Medically Cleared, Cotto Weight at 150?

[LeadUppercut]

The division is in a MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 154 LBS. So what the devil difference does it make to you at whatever weight they fight, as long as it is within the division limit?? If one fighter feels more comfortable at a certain weight, that's fine, and if he wants to try to limit his opponent to the same weight, if the the opponent agrees, that's fine also. What the hell difference does it make? You aren't fighting. They are.

The various division weights are arbitrary divisions anyway. In boxing's earlier days the reigning champion would often set the division weight limit.

That is completely irrelevant to todays situation, boxing uses weight divisions, and the divisions are not arbitrary, they are clearly defined and have been for more than a century.

The 17 weight divisions that we now have are more than enough.

If you cant bring yourself to fight within the existing divisions then get out of the kitchen if you cant handle the heat.

There are only two reasons to demand a catch-weight, and both are demeaning to the sport of boxing.

You gonna let me use a larger ball next time we tee-off for a round ?

Come on man, I bet I am shorter than you

I agree that a fighter should come in at his best weight, regardless, I just dont agree that a fighter should be able to place a limit on his opponent that forces him to come in at anything less than his best weight.

Especially not for a title fight.

But oh well, fair enough, just so long as Cotto is happy, I got no problem with him having an advantage over Margarito, this time round.

im not complaining. tony has been at 150 and he knows if he can make it again, not us. i just want this rematch. dont care if its at a CW, it's been around boxing for years.

[Mr. Fantastic]

lol at you jumping the gun and accusing Cotto of putting this in the contract. Ill believe Cotto is behind this ***** move when the fight is announced at 150 and it is proved to be demanded by team Cotto.

Did you not read "hope it's just a rumor"???

[FLY TY]

margarito's a cheater, and he's lucky to be in this position....don't care if there's a stip that says the fight will be fought with both hands tied behind their backs....

as for margo being "medically cleared," cotto should damage the left side of his face, this is the guy that basically ruined cotto's career, and he cheated to do so.

my only hope is that cotto hires n. richardson to stand in margarito's dressing room, and watch his hands being wrapped this time...

as far as the fight itself, i've heard both sides of the argument, as far as tony deserving to fight again, and i'm not a cotto fan, but IMO cotto deserves this fight to right a wrong. i hope he ends margarito's career....give 'em a beatdown with the payday.

if both can make it, why not? should be at the lmw limit but as long as this rematch happens.

[ChampBox@PR]

Can you bunch of flaming douchbags STFU????

Where does in the article says Cotto is asking for a catchweight??

God damn, i mean, give me a freaking break, lol

Cotto is KOing this cheater at full weight of 154!!!!

***n b1tch a.s.s Jotto....enough said!

I've read 9 pages of this thread to Margo fans complaining about a possible catch weight. Hey, people! If you read the article well you can see that Cotto's team haven't mentioned anything about a catchweight. All the comments went from the mouth of Espinoza, one of Margo's team. So I really don't know what you're complaining of because the catchweight is only a fantasy created in Espinoza's dreams, or in Margarito's nightmares maybe.

[jrosales13]

It's not clear who's asking for the catch-weight.

And, who would it benefit exactly?

Last time Marg fought at 150 he made it fine without a problem. And, his body didn't look drained or weakened at all.

Cotto last 2 fights has been at 154.

Why is everybody acting like the 150 would be in Cotto advantage?

[Beater_of_ass]

LOL @ Catchweight Cotto.

Seriously though, all that crap he talked about Pac and his catchweights and then turning around and doing this would make him a hypocrite and not much confidence in his team to beat Margarito. Hope the CW is just a rumor.

1. Cotto never *****ed about the catweight, he took it like a man. You already complained more about it for Marg than he did with Manny.

2. Its no ones fault but Margarito's. Maybe he didn't cheat against Cotto, but he got caught attempting to in his next fight. This is the only fight anybody would see him in, he knows if its at 150 he'll take it anyway because its his last day in the sun. He got bricks in the first fight, let Cotto have four pounds if Tony is a man would accept it like he did for Manny. As much as you Mexicans say Cotto is Tony's b*tch, Marg has to do agree to anything if he wants to make a 7 figure payday again.
