lol, u said last fight..and jmm was 153 last time he fought pac , is he bigger than floyd ? nayhahahaha

[Dirk Diggler UK]

did the fight go on without the rehydration clause??yes

I dont know...did it? He still asked for it. So its ok for him to ask for catchweights but not others to ask of him.

Clear hypocrisy. Nothing more to say.

Once again, all Cotto is saying the fight didn't happend cause of the catchweight, he answered a question, he moved on to Trout, he is not complaining because manny asked for a catchweight, he is stating facts.

Manny went up and fought Margarito at 154, didn't even weigh that much on fight night, and Margarito outweighed Pacquiao by more than 25 lbs. Manny said he didn't like how his body felt at that weight, felt slower, and felt guys at 154 were naturally too big and strong for him at that weight. Although he destroyed Margarito, he said he'd never fight that heavy again, and that's perfectly fine. Marcos Maidana should be doing the dame thing at 147, opting to stay at 140. So if Cotto feels drained, weaker, and a struggle to go the other way, that's fine too. Don't make a big deal of either fighter in where they want to fight.

He fought at a catch weight were Pac weighed in at 144.5 and Margarito came in at 150...

Cotto is a great fighter!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blubba]

isnt this story like 6 months old lol, pac offered cotto at 150lbs, and then floyd offerred 154lbs.

can u blame cotto for picking floyd? plus he would have gotten around the same money maybe even more, fighting floyd. and less of a pounding.

[Puya]

Yes, Manny demanded a catch weight but just one fight prior when he fought Clottey he weighed in at 146. 1lb really determined the outcome of the fight? Cotto wasn't making any excuses before, during and directly after the fight then a few years later its the weight? Please... Sounds like bitterness to me.

The same guy is complaining about weight when he tried to drain Margarito down to 150 but Tony wouldnt budge so he made it at 153. I dont agree with the whole catch weights but I don't think a guy like Miguel should be using that excuse when he has asked for them in the past. You can't fight Manny at '50 but you can for Margarito? Hypocritical, no?

Actually Margarito didn't caught using illegal hand wraps against Cotto. He was caught ATTEMPTING to use them against Mosley. We live in America and and we are innocent until proven guilty. Margarito using them against Cotto is pure speculation.

Can someone explain this guy that for example Cotto for the 147 limit he goes to 146 to 145 to be ready for the weight in. But when the limit is 145 he has to suffer more and go down to 143 to 144 to make sure no problems in the weight in meaning they loose muscle mass in the process because these guys barely have fat in their body let alone water in the weight in day.

So yes going down to 145 hurt Cotto
