Was Cotto weight drained when he fought Pacquiao?

Who knows....

However, you knew Cotto was in trouble when he looked smaller than Manny at the weigh in.

pac is wearing shoes. cotto isn't.

those shoes probably give pac and inch or two.

pac came as he was at the weigh in.

cotto rehydrated for the fight.

You're always trying to discredit Manny yet he's the main reason for Marquez's fame and best fighter on his resume by far...

Must be a race/flag thing.

cotto is a good but nothing special fighter.

problem is cotto and a FEW of his boyfriends think he's great.

hence they find so many excuses for his ass whoopings.

marg had plaster. no proof.

cotto was weight drained against pac. he wasn't.

pac was on peds. no proof.

mayweather fight was close. it wasn't.

trout fight didn't happen.

Cotto's lack of a right hand was enough to know he wasn't gonna win and definitely not against that version of Pacquiao. It didn't require much thinking really.

Probably. Just like Floyd when Pac was the A side he did what he had to do to get an advantage and Cotto had no leverage. I do believe that even if the fight was at the full 147 limit Cotto still would have been beat easily by that version of Pacquiao. He just had too much speed for Cotto.

I consider that one of Pacquiao's best wins, how am I discrediting it by making an obvious observation?

That was the main reason why I didn't give Cotto much of a chance in that fight.

my gameplan would have been use his right as a jab with his left ****ed to throw when pac comes.

he was using his power hand for jabbing. which was a waste especially since pac was going over it tagging him.

he was trading jabs with pacs hooks and lefts.

Cotto was drained. Pacquiao walked away from a rematch because he didn't want to fight a 100% Cotto at 154.

Cotto didn't complain before, during and right after the fight. There are interviews of him laughing at the people who bring it up and Cotto's response would be "you know that I weighed 146 against Clottey and made the weight easily"

on the other hand if you think that Cotto was then Canelo was certainly weight drained.

Canelo complained before signing with Floyd, during training camp and in his past fights, he struggles to even make 154 let alone 152 and comes in at 155.

Cotto held a 154 title , Manny came out and called him out , Cotto said no problems no CW and Manny said no fight and tried to make another CW .

Was happy to go at 147 while Cotto held a 154 title , why did he refuse 147 for the 147 title that Cotto held , he just fought Oscar at 147 , but Cotto must be 145 .

Manny has been the biggest manipulator of weight off any champion in the history of the sport .

Guess what this fight is not a CW and Floyd wont be weakened and is not coming from JWW , you all will see how that works out on May 2nd , if you are right Manny should kill Floyd if Im right it will be Floyd doing the dominating .

You are not getting it. Cotto, who held a title at 154, wanted the same CW against Margarito that Manny requested. Again, Cotto requested the same CW.

Like Cotto himself said before, during and after the fight, it was not the weight but it was Manny's speed and angles. Punches were coming from everywhere and Cotto wasn;t seeing them.

When Cotto was questioned, he laughed at that question and brought up his previous fights where he made 146 easily.

Funny that Canelo complained and complained about 152 CW and you say that it's different while blocking your ears at what Canelo had to say about his struggles with making 152. Oh yeah, Canelo AND Floyd held 154 titles.
