Funny how its unfair for Cotto to have to lose 2lbs but its not unfair when Pac is outweighed by almost 20lbs on fight night vs both margarito and clottey.

Objectively, which of Pac's catchweights were unfair?

Theres way to much BS on a few pounds given or taken + (plus) pounds have always been a part of boxing. I don't like them for title bouts but if both agree its a done deal.
Cotto dropping a pound or two is meaningless!!! He got beat by a better fighter plain and simple! Ray.

This is a point completely wasted on you, but here goes. You whine about Pacfarters for backing up their guy apparently for whatever he does good or bad, yet you do exactly the same thing yourself with Floyd, only with more intensity. Dont you realise just how much of a prick that makes you look? I dont suppose you do....

If 2 lbs wasn't a big deal, why did manny require it to fight? would cotto have won if he was allowed to come in at 147?

Originally posted by ELPacman View PostSo your saying the 1lb made a difference? Perhaps it made a difference in Cotto's mind? Whatever it may be, I find it very hard to believe 1lb could make a difference. And I'm one of Cotto's biggest supporters along with Pacs. If you would like me to believe it did, then OK, cause I love supporting Cotto and if that does it then great, but honestly, I don't feel cool arguing that 1lb caused him to lose the fight with anybody.
1. Have you ever cut weight?
2. How many times during cotto's welterweight career did he, when drained and in shape, weigh in at 145?
3. Tying questions 2&3 together, if you have cut weight then you know the last pounds are the hardest, especially an extra pound more. If cotto comes to the scale in shape and drained.....and still has an extra pound he has to lose, where do you suppose that pound comes from? Being an avid pac fan, im guessing you did watch the 24/7 on their fight, and im also gyessing you conveniently skipped the part(s) where cotto had to starve himself just to make the weight.
All in all, its arguable if he pound affected cottos in ring performance or not. The million dollar question is, why did pac demand a catchweight?

Hell Mosley even accepted and they still backed out. But after losing to Floyd and looking like crap against Mora they took the fight in a heartbeat.
