Was Cotto weight drained when he fought Pacquiao?

Absolutely not.

He was 1 pound lighter than his previous fight and frequently weighed in 146 against other welterweights, it's a lame excuse used by Pacquiao detractors.

He had a 3 month training camp too, and was fast as he was at a low bodyfat and looked in really good shape he had a nutritionist, conditioning coach, the lot.

Agree with what you saying as far weakening Cotto not being the same as Oscar , it wasnt Oscar he was way over the edge into the abiss , Cotto was just under the edge not far from Dawson vs Ward , but with the setbacks you mention and the CW it all added up to what it did an ass kicking .

Making 146 earlier makes no difference to how he made it later , a pound lower can kill you , With Manny his abrupt loss of big explosive wins I dont buy the " he found God " , " cramps " , lost killer instinct or Peds , Manny beat up weight drained or shot fighters in devastating fashion , then he avoided WWS and has fought 5 JWWS in a row since being KOed and he cant hurt them , its not hype and its not coincidence , its weight and made to order opponents , May 2nd will show this aint a JWW or a drained WW .



Its not about topping anything , its about Mannys best wins were against CW fighters , and he challenged Cotto for 154 title and refused to fight him without another CW , is what it is .

How the fook is Canelo still alive then? Must of had a near death experience.

Looking at Cotto's boxrec, he never fought above welterweight when he met Pacman.

you mean cotto always made weight? Yup. Somewhat weight drained. They initially wanted the fight at 143.

If he was actually wieght drained pacman would have KO'd him. He would never have been able to chicken run half the fight
