People whining about canelo losing 2 lbs..

He signed the fight. That's all that matters.

This...................

Oh ok, this is some fantasy boxing. I get it, you're a fan of Fantasy ATG, The Catchweight Queen.

Can you give me another example of a champ that chose to drain himself with a CW and rehydration clause, to get an edge over a challenger? Now same question, but challenger being unranked and one eyed?

I have no care for what Cotto requested against Margarito..

He didn't request 150 against Floyd or 150 against Trout...

that tells me all I need to know.

[HeroBando]

Didn't you do maths in school?

Cotto's strongest weight is 154 and he was 145 against Pacquaio..

Not the sharpest crayon in the box?

Oh yeah, I forgot we all have to worship the sluggers and the fighters since they've now retired

Cotto probably is not a top 5 SWW, any number of fringe contenders could take him. If he dropped to welter right now, he's automatic top 5. I mean, feeble Guerrero was just #3 without beating a legit top tenner.

Dumbas$$ they fought for the WELTERWEIGHT title which is 147 at 145!! Everyone but you Airhead knows Cotto had to lose 2 pounds because it was a WELTERWEIGHT fight. Get it? Got it? GOOD! Take comfort in knowing you will never wrongfully be accused of being bright, Airhead. It's not called "MATHS". Go back to school.

He should have requested 150 vs Trout. He looked like a midget, could barely reach the bigger guy. and couldnt hurt him with his mass deficit. I can tell he didn't expect it by storming out of the ring after a proper decision.

But that doesn't tell you all, that Marg CW is still there, doesn't go away. It's possibly unprecedented. It means he's not at his best at 154, since a champ has no issues disposing of a 1 eyed bum at his best weight.

Cotto destroys Margarito at any weight...

And don't even mention the first fight.

So why sully his belt with a CW then? I mean, give me just 1 example of a champ asking to defend his belt vs unranked divisional challenger, not even 1 eyed?

And why put yourself into history books for weight manipulation if you can do it at any weight, but most easily at 154?

Welterweight is NOT 154 so stop talking about a weight that Cotto DID NOT fight at when he fought for the WELTERWEIGHT title!! Everyone knows the HIGHEST you can fight for a Welterweight title is 147!!! Everyone knows what the catchweight was at, Airhead!

Cotto himself has said his strongest weight is at 154lbs.

The fact that he was draining himself to make 147.. and then had to drain himself to make 145.. is admirable to his training, but it means he was 9lbs from his strongest weight..

as of yet canelo has fought at 154lbs fighting smaller built guys than him.. and hasn't stated he intends to move up

Pacquiao comes in fight night heavier than Floyd.. he's not a small guy himself.

Pacquiao is a great fighter, and he done well to beat Cotto at 145... he'd get mangled at 154.
