Cotto: "Hardest fight for me...Mayweather" "145 catchweight Pac did affect me..."

[Holywarrior]

Not only that, Cotto was asked directly and Cotto responded by laughing and saying, it will be no problem as he came in at 146 against Clottey in his previous fight.

looked like crap versus Clottey and Manny still had to bring COtto down. ***** move.

I can't say he's lying, I don't know, but Cotto looked fine physically against Pacquiao. He fell off after Pac dropped him hard and began whooping his ass. I can't believe 2 pounds would change that.

Cotto look slow and weak in the Pacquiao fight.His punch resistance wasn`t there,i mean Pacquiao dropped him with a arm punch of all punches.And arm punches have no weight behind the punch.In the Floyd fight Cotto looked a lot faster,a lot sharper and showed better punch resistance.

That azz whipping he took from Margarito doe

Cotto looked way better in the first and second Margarito fight,and gave Margarito a good fight in first one in which Margarito most likely had his gloves loaded.In the rematch Cotto dominated Margarito.

He looked like crap in the Clottey fight because Clottey is a very solid fighter.Cotto didn`t look slow in that fight and he wasn`t dropped by no arm punch like he did in the Pacquiao fight.Clottey gave Margarito a tough fight,the only reason he lost to Margarito is because he fatigued or hurt his hands in that fight.when Clottey let his hands go,he was wining easily against Margarito.

Other than Cotto and JMM, what other WW's have had to face MP at a catchweight?

Jmm didnt have to, he demanded it. Cotto got the cw since it was Pacs 1st legit bout in his 7th weightclass. Most other guys ask for one way before hitting their 7th. Eg Cotto asked for one in his 3rd

Doesn`t mean the 145 pound didn`t effect him,1 pound can effect a fighter,and i noticed Cotto moved right up to 154 after that fight and never came back to 147.Pacquiao never ko`ed anybody at 147 or higher except for Cotto which shows that the weight had an effect on Cotto.I mean he couldn`t even drop Tm Bradley whose been dropped 3 times by Kendall Holt.

Chad Dawson also said he could make 168 fine also,then we seen how that turned out.

Pacquiao first legit bout in his tenth weight class was Oscar who was weight drained.

He fought De La Hoya at the full 147. The weight wasn't new to him. If any guy should have gotten a CW, it was Clottey and even he didn't get one.

Cotto fought Margarito at 153 simply to say fuck you to a guy he had denounced as a criminal.

You are making it sound like Manny was a pure WW back then. He was just trying to make history back then by getting another title but nobody knew that he would continue to do well at WW.

The crap move is when 2 title holders fight at a CW of 152 even though one of them keeps on saying before, during and after the fight that making weight was the hardest thing that he had to do to for the fight! Floyd was OK with that!
