cottos belt was at 154, what reason logically would he have to come down to 147? he fought foreman, mayorga and margarito at 154, all of the sudden hes gonna jump back down to 147? for what?
Pacquiao was able to sham his way into a catchweight fight of 150 against margarito yet he cant just fight at 154, an actual weight class against cotto? instead hes just going to pull someone from lightweight and have him fight at 147. why couldnt he just do this with cotto the first time? does every fighter who actually stands a chance against him have to have some sort of disadvantage coming in?
he could take on an aging mosley at 147 no problem, but with cotto he has to be weakened even though hes the one with the belt? come on.
Yea and pac tried the same thing wit marquez and it bit him in the a$$ why do u think he's fighting bradley and not marquez again.
didnt say i agreed or liked the idea....
but to answer your question...why before, is simple. Pac just fought hatton at 140 weighing in at 138. His next fight was Cotto. Not to mention his 2nd fight in his life over 140 lbs. in his life. Whos at he disadvantage here!!!!!!
Cotto weighed 145-146 for 8 fights...winning all but one at that weight. Manny only fought twice over 140 not exceeding 145...in his life !!!! Whos at the disadvantage. Its amazing how ones dislike of a fighter for whatever reason it is clouds the mind and makes the individual look bad.
Again...i dont have to like the CW but i do understand it.
Stop it. Pacquiao has been weighing in as a welterweight on fight night since he was at 130!
