You show what you dont know about boxing to fly with that, a CW effects everybody different depending on mass and how redline they are to make weighin weight and then having to lose the extra, when you are on the wire 1lb more can kill you, 2lb is nothing to one fighter and a disaster to another.
Cotto was effected by the 2lbs more than Canelo, if you want to break it all down bit by bit from resistance to stamina etc is was easy to see if you know what you are looking for.
Too you 2lb is the same to all fighters lol.Last edited by Roadblock; 02-11-2019, 10:53 PM.Comment

Neither should have been a CW, Canelo asked for his and Cotto was forced by Arum, Cotto never wanted a CW he didnt even want his title on the line.
So Canelo is much bigger than Cotto , but you say the same 2lbs effected the bigger man as it did the smaller guy how can that be, you shot yourself in the foot lol.
Mikey from 135 last fight to 147 no CW, dont talk about Manny .
A quote from the bottom article says it all !
"One pound difference will benefit Pacquiao a whole lot more than it will Cotto. The whole issue of the catch weight is Roach trying to kill Cotto as much as possible for the fight."—Lord Hughey Windsor-Sanchez
However, Pacman's current negotiation with WBO Welterweight Champion, Miguel Cotto, for their upcoming November fight earned an unprecedented criticism from Pachaters and Pacfans alike.
Here's what they're saying about the 143 catch weight that Team Pacqiao is insisting:
"What would beating-up a reluctant and drained Cotto at 143 do? He's already the Pound-For-Pound king, why would he want to be called the Drain-Your-Pounds King?"—Dennis Guillermo
"If Pacquiao is really the one insisting that he won’t fight Miguel Cotto above 143 pounds, then he should be ashamed. If he’s the force behind this silly argument, then he is taking the “Man” out of “Manny.”...It demeans Pacquiao, especially his well earned status as the world’s best pound for fighter, to be quibbling over two measly pounds concerning this Nov. 14 bout. Does Pacman wish to look like a bully outside of the ring? Methinks not but he is."—Michael Marley
"First thing's first, Miguel Cotto, at 143 pounds, could be no better than a scarecrow. The next question is what does Pacquiao achieve if he crushes a slow, hollow foe?"—Recah Trinidad
"One pound difference will benefit Pacquiao a whole lot more than it will Cotto. The whole issue of the catch weight is Roach trying to kill Cotto as much as possible for the fight."—Lord Hughey Windsor-Sanchez
..."Cotto is predisposed to have special problems if he forces his body to reduce its weight beyond what is acceptable (and he believes it's 145 lbs). Perhaps, other boxers could do it. But not Cotto. Let us leave it at that and Pacman should look for other boxers."—dragonslayerGH
"A catch weight is definitely designed to help Pacquiao. That's the entire issue...the only purpose is to make it hard for Cotto. Drain him down in training, so he is weaker in the fight."—Capt. Fantabulous
"As for the 143 lbs. catch weight stance, I don't think it's all promotional, unless the real intention is to make Pacquiao look like a weight-draining coward cause it's working on me already. I think 145lbs. is even enough for Pacquiao. He shouldn't be demanding any more lower than that."—Victor
All of these comments point to one thing—Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto is a mismatch at a catch weight of 143 lbs. They are one in saying that the said catch weight will favor the P4P King and drain all of the energy of Cotto come fight night.Last edited by Roadblock; 02-12-2019, 12:43 AM.Comment
