Was Cotto weight drained when he fought Pacquiao?

[FrankieClutch]

Same when he fought Margs. Floyd groupies like to discredit that win as well. Everybody with a set of eyes knows Margs never tired or stopped trying to destroy Pacquiao. He took Pacquiao to a very dark place.

Yeah he did. Those left hooks to the body in the 6th round (I believe) hurt Pacquiao BAD. Pac still says that was his hardest fight ever

[bigjavi973]

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.

what are their names? Trainers name as well would help?

[New England]

yes, but not as drained as alvarez when he fought mayweather.

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

He did look very thin on fight night compared to other welter fights... but it was Manny's speed & angles that destroyed Cotto... plus that ****** corner man he had didn't help.

[Biolink]

Maybe, but the bigger issue was that he basically had no trainer for that fight.

Pac was too good to be true, doe, he's juicing.
Nah. He's actually a nobody. Cotto was drained doe.
Make up your minds doe. Hehe...

Not to mention Pacquiao's cauliflower ear from one of Cotto's punches.

I don't Cotto was drained for the fight, he just didn't have the tools to deal with someone like Pacquiao. Cotto doesn't control distnance, doesn't feint and doesn't nearly move his head enough. Cotto's better punches are wide ones (left hook in particular) and Pacquiao finds it harder to deal with straight punches. The style was just all wrong for Cotto.

The only thing I take issue with, is the notion that if "he didn't like it, he shouldn't have signed the contract". Cotto was behind the "8 ball" where if he didn't defend against Pacquiao, he would be stripped of the WBO title, and to defend it, he had to do it at 145lbs. That was as wrong as the day is long.

[Skip Bayless]

most fighters are weight drained , it justs of matter of how weight drained they are. cotto simply couldnt keep up with mannys speed and thats what lost him the fight

[Left Hook Tua]

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.
