Can anyone tell me whats the big deal with Cotto's weight

[dondi330]

I don't get the weight thing either Manny use rehydrate up to 18 lbs. Now that Cotto rehydrates the normal 10 lbs theres a problem.

Under Manny's fans knowledge none of his biggest wins in the lower weight should count since he rehydrated so much.

One more thing I have a problem with is they say if cotto weighs close to 160 then he is a middleweight and he should be fighting Pavlik. But on fight night Pavlik probably comes in over 170. Just like last night Danny Jacobs weighed
159 then rehydrated to 175. So how will Cotto be a MW if he weighs close to 160 when MW fight at close to 175 on fight night.

Thats one of the "Special Cotto Rules". He has his own set..lol

More like avoided. If you know boxing you would know that southpaws are avoided, now combine that with 5'10" welterweight that has a win over Paul Williams and Joel Julio(when they were unbeaten)and is a slick boxer with some power 20 KO's in 26. I would say that fighters are not lining up to fight him.

Yea, he followed that Williams win up with getting put on his ass in 2 minutes. And Joel Julio is nothing more than an opponent. No one is lining up to fight him because he is a nobody. Try again.

All there is to say about the weight is Cotto's a WW and Pac ain't. He'll be fine at 145.

Pac is a WW, he destroyed an ATG, HOF De La Hoya. Pac for President!!!!

Cotto would be smart to try to rehydrate as much as he can while still being healthy. Nothing wrong with that.

Ok, southpaws in professional boxing are not avoided and unbeaten fighters are not dangerous and a 12 round decision was luck but a one punch KO was all skill.lol
Matter of a fact no boxers are avoided.:wank:

Can anyone tell me whats the big deal with Cotto's weight?

good point, but 10+ lbs...

Is this another "Cotto special Rules"?

good point, but nope

Cotto special Rules

Champions were viewed as Champions even if they fought for a vacant title. I never remember discussions about "Vacant" title fighters. Until Cotto did it.

good point, but cotto has fought for a lot of vacant belts.

Many fighters took knees and more quit in ugly fashion under less pressure. But Cotto's team throws in the towel (Margarito)and Cotto is the worst quitter in boxing.

good point. I wouldn't call him the worst quitter, but he is a quitter.

Fighters like Tyson bit ears was known for elbows, Holyfield head butts, Golota low blow like crazy. But They get on Cotto like he is the dirtiest low blow fighter ever..lol

good point. cotto isn't that dirty.

Cotto fights, Margarito, Clottey(with a cut), Quintana (3 of the most feared and avoided welterweights yet people say Cotto has "no heart".

lol quitana feared and avoided??? lol... just lulz.

Now you have guys saying he is going to come in heavier to gain an advantage(which is arguable) like just about 95% of all fighters do. Even Pacquiao comes in over 10 pounds more but again a New "Cotto Rule"!

even cotto admits that he will have the size, weight and strength advantage over pac. just give it up.

They are all good points..but what the hell is yours?

THE WORLD KNOWS COTTO HAS A SLIGHT SIZE ADVANTAGE ////now what?
I already stated that 95% of fighters try and come in heavier. Relax Urkal fan.
