Comments Thread For: Marquez Wants 147 For Cotto, 152/153 Rehydration Clause

[ChiCityExtractz]

Rehydration clause? wow..... thats ******. Marquez damn near killed A man that can't even make 147 and this dude says he's not a 147 pounder?? YAH RIGHT, floyd hit manny with right hands all night and not one did what marquez's did to manny....I think the weight draining days for Cotto are in the passed, Fight Khan After Canelo Kos him and then lets get a rematch going.

Wonder who would be the bigger diva during the negotiations for this fight?

[super-x]

Is he not aware that Cotto is one of the most difficult men to negotiate with?? 150 catch weight, and 155 rehydration maybe, but does cotto need/want this fight that badly that he would give in to even this?
Marquez better of fighting Brook, he'd be the 2nd decent name on Brooks resumè. Then again Brook v Cotto @154 in June would definatley be one to watch. Either one id be happy with.

That's old age talking & any wt or rehydrate JMM loses...2 much 4 him 2 late @ the end...

Not publicly but it's common knowledge that Cotto and Margarito likely had rehydration clauses.

Pacquiao really hurt the sport with all of his diva catchweight demands. 145 vs. Cotto, 150 vs. Margarito, 144 vs. Marquez, 144 vs. Algieri. It's disgusting really. It really hurts his legacy at the higher weights IMO.

pure speculation. nobody has ever said anything about pac having a rehydration clause.

Roach will NOT accept those kinds of demands. I can see Cotto making 150 but no rehydration clause.

Trainer Freddie Roach surprisingly admits that he's not a fan of catch-weight f!ghts. The statement is surprising considering that two of Roach's biggest names—Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto—have demanded catch-weight stipulations from several of their opponents.

Cotto had in place modified weight limits with Antonio Margarito (maximum of 153 lbs. for their Dec. '11 rematch), Sergio Martinez (159 lbs., despite Martinez coming in as World middleweight champion) and Daniel Geale (157 lbs). He says a catch-weight stipulation will be in place for anyone who wants to face him for the middleweight title.

Pacquiao traveled this route for f!ghts with Cotto (145 lbs., despite Cotto coming in as a defending welterweight titlist), Margarito (150 lbs.), Juan Manuel Marquez (144 lbs. for their Nov. '11 clash—the third of their four-f!ght series) and Chris Algieri (144 lbs.). Depending on who Pacquiao faces in the future, he could very well take part in another catch-weight f!ght.

"The thing is, I know we're not the only one doing it out there. Anybody who has an opportunity to do it - will. I think it's just the way life is right now in boxing. Whoever thought of it - I hate. Becaise I don't like catch-weights. Personally, I don't like them," Roach said.

No way Cotto for that kind of ****, again!

Not when he's the A side.

Just don't show up covered in pimples and looking like the hulk. Regardless of his legacy and as much as I like JMM i'm still su****ious as a motherffff that he had been doping the whole time he was with Memo. That level of acne can only come from two things, heavy chemical changes in the body or some disease.

For the record, Cotto has had back acne since he's gotten with Roach and his staff at the Wild Card. Hypocrite.
