Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale To Have Catch-Weight of 157, Says Source

[Mr.Fantastic]

Miguel Cotto is such a coward!!!!!

*here they come lol*

[The Hammer]

Wonderful! A middleweight title fight at a catchweight of 157. If Cotto can't fight opponents who weigh 160, then he should be stripped of the title. Or must a Cotto opponent who is allowed to weigh in at 160 have a completely ruined knee joint?

I agree. This is

Cotto should fight at 160 or lose his title.

[Spray_resistant]

Not a proper defense for a champion in a proper weight class. I know he is really just a big welter who is good enough to be a top super welter but if he doesn't feel comfortable fighting healthy middle weights then he should vacate and move back down.

Miguel Cotto fights who Miguel Cotto wants under his conditions, no questions asked. He's the King.. No asterisks doe.

Lmao @ 157

Fighters coming up with their own weight classes nowadays

[Kagami Taiga]

dont really like that. wonder what weight hes gonna fight canelo at

[boliodogs]

The phony middleweight champ Cotto can take his 2nd middleweight catchweight and shove it up his ass. He never really was the 160 champion anyway. He insisted Martinez fight him at 159 which makes him the 159 pound champion of the world. Now that he owns the title he has become the 157 pound champion of the world. I hope Geale beats him so middleweight title fights will once again be fought at a limit of 160 pounds like they are supposed to be fought at for the last 100 years or so.

Here is a copy and paste of a post of mine in another similar tread. This tread is out of control for no good reason...

Weights classes where almost randomly set to begin with because classes are needed for fighter protection. 154 is just a random number set for jmw. There is nothing sacred about 160. All fighters basically cheat weights anyway except maybe mayweather. Fighters go through extremes to get to their weight class. Starvation, dehydration and sometimes even stripping naked. A mw will come in 15 pounds above 160. So most mas aren't really even 160s. So people need to relax. Cotto woukd just want to minimize the rehydration when cotto will barely gain 5 pounds. Like the martinez weight of 159 everyone thought it was foot being a diva but in reality it was protection from rehydration.

Catch weightswere invented for us fans. We all want to see our favorite fights go up against another fav but happens to be in another weight class. So a catch weight is a compromise to give us fans fights we want to see while not killing off fighters.
