Comments Thread For: floyd Mayweather Explains His Selection of Miguel Cotto

[Osirus022]

If both Mayweather and Pacquiao are successful on their coming respective bouts, the logical way to settle the PURSE issue should be 60%-40% SPLIT to the Winner. Otherwise, there will be no FIGHT and the BULL**** will go forever. If this term is not agreeable, it means that they do not want to fight each other, PERIOD.

I wouldn't mind seeing that happen

145 and 154 are a big difference, thats 9lbs. Because he has love handles @ 154 its ok for him to make 145?? That's ridiculous

It shows that he still has plenty of bodyfat that he can burn off, and still be healthy at 145. . . Like I said, Cotto just doesn't want to diet anymore during training camp. . There is a HUGE difference between being "weight drained", and training hard and dieting to make weight. . .

Hardly....



Cotto is a 154lb fighter its his best weight now he would struggle to make 147 and be effective.

If you can't see Cotto is clearly carrying around extra bodyfat you are blind. .

Anyway, you can't see love handles from that angle. . Look at him during the fight; he has some little love handles hanging over his trunks. . .

Just a question.. Have you ever been in a sport that required you to be in top physical shape and make a certain weight??

Remember he Rehydrated by fight time!!

Cotto rehydrated to 155 pounds when fighting at 147. . Ortiz rehydrated to 165 pounds at 147. . So does that mean Ortiz was weight drained? NO! If you're only rehydrating 8-10 pounds from weigh-in (which is how much 95% of all boxers rehydrate), it shows you're fighting at your ideal weight. . . And that'll be that That's all, thanks

LOL!!! You're not going to add fat in 24 hours! you only rehydrate WATER WEIGHT!! you don't "REHYDRATE" fat!

Once again: that'll be that. . THat's all, thanks

Carrying a little extra body fat doesn't mean he is not a 154lb fighter Cotto said himself making 148 at this point would be sacrificing his body im sorry but i think he knows his own body better than you.

And also bringing up his hight is ridiculous Cotto has a natural stocky build. Mike Tyson 5ft10 Paul Williams 6ft1 who's bigger?

Two things though.

Cotto hasn't fought at WW since 2009.
Ortiz got knocked the **** out.
