How did pacquiao "drain" cotto????????????????

[Jam Jars]

Your source of Oscar's weight came from what, from Oscar himself??!!! Your pathetic, and it was Oscar who chose Manny to fight him at WW.... You brought up the weights of Manny at FW to show that a healthy athlete can rehydrate to 10lbs more, but when it comes to Cotto who rehydrated by 12 lbs more it's unhealthy now...

I got the weight from the HBO broadcast DLH weighed the same he did at the weigh in 145. Pacquiao blamed making weight for his loss against singsurat and also his performance against JMM................. but he fought at those weights the fight prior to those........... I guess weight only affects Pacquiao. LOL

Based on fight night weight Pacquiao going down to 140 would be no different that Cotto draining 10+ lbs to go to 145. But that would only affect Pacquiao.

I am talking about the weigh in and you are talking about fight night weight??!! WTF ******??!!

Fight night weight is the true weight of a fighter............ Draining down to 140 from Pacquiaos 148/149 fight weight would affect Pacquiao but Cotto draining 10+ has no affect??? LOL

Do you really believe that a long time athlete like Oscar didn't gain just 1lbr more after 24hrs of rehydration??!!! And Manny was still 5/7lbs overweight a day before weigh in when he fought Singsurat, he tried to dehydrate himself severely in such little time and it cost him, it was at an early stage of Manny's career and it was negligence in his training that cost him the fight... This is totally different from Cotto's time, Cotto made weight no sweat....

DLH gained no weight they had to stick an IV in his arm to get fluids in him. Cotto was training in 100 degree heat to make weight before the weigh in, made it no sweat??? LOL you're clueless.

I've got cold hard facts, which is more than Pac fans have.


Cotto moving up in weight straight after.
Pacquiao admitting it would affect Cotto.
Cotto training in 100 degrees heat to make weight.
Cotto refusing to "sacrfice" his body again.
Pacquiao unwilling to fight Cotto without another CW.

All back up my argument.

cotto wanted to fight margarito at 150 , fact
cotto's last fight before manny he weighed 146
cotto admitted he didnt saw the punches coming
cotto wanted the ring to be bigger and have bigger gloves even though he's the bigger man


stop whining and take it like a man , cotto is scared of pac , he beat him silly not even close

[combatron]

He should have blamed it on his socks.........his "clitoris" gloves..............a blood test made him weak............leg cramps

eh ?

i dont remember cotto making excuses only his fans

Cotto never makes excuses like others does that mean he didn't have problems........... nope. You're using Cotto's personality as an argument for him not being weight drained. LOL

But the basis of the contract and the division you are fighting is totally based on the weigh in weight, that's why i said before if it was same-day weigh in then all you haters will have an argument...

And just to stress a point, dehydrated fighters will show fatigue and discomfort in the later rounds, thus will be more at a disadvantage in the 2nd half of the match, but Cotto as early as the first 6 rounds already suffered 2 knockdowns and was already at a retreat in most part of the succeeding rounds. So dehydrated or not Cotto will still loose that match against Manny...

My brother wrestled in high school and to him 2 pounds made a huge difference. I remember how he struggled to get down to weight and sometimes going to drastic measures to get there. I remember he wrestled a kid at a tournament and lost to him and it was very obvious he was weight drained. My brothers strength and stamina just wasn't there. About a week later the 2 pound weight allowance kicked in and it was much easier for him to make weight. He wrestled the kid again in the championship of another tournament and completely dominated winning like 12-2. He was fast, very explosive and his stamina looked great.

I'm not saying Cotto was drained or not or the catchweight affected his performance but I am saying that the last pound or two "can" affect a athlete that is already struggling to make weight.
