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

[BOOMbip]

Manny Rehydrated more weight then Cotto does at WW when he fought at LW....It was fair for him to do it to his opponents but not fair for them to do it to him....


Saying Cotto would have to fight a cruiserweight to be on Manny's level is completly ******....Cotto might out weigh Manny by 10 pounds at the most on fight night...I'd put it more at about 7 or 8 pounds...but for arguments sake lets say 10

Chad Dawson comes in at 185 pounds on fight night...at least thats what he weighed against Tarver

So somewhere between 155-157 Cotto....Manny probably 148...on fight night....to you is the same as

155- 157 Cotto ....to a 184 pound Chad Dawson on fight night?



O no wait...you must mean cause Pacman is really a blown 108 pounder...lol

smn...some of you guys need to get a grip on reality.

Hmmm sounds like something I would say

cotto is a known undisciplined over indulger whos wgt gains will hinder him real soon if not already. in this fight those 2 extra lbs will show like always in the second half of the fight when he turns into pbf lite and runs like gump.

if he doesnt get another gift and loses to hype train manny then he will be spared of a thrashing by a real boxer.

manny weighs in around 142-143. rehydrates to 148-150. cotto weighs in at 145, rehydrates around 160 lbs.

it is a big deal cause it means cotto is bigger than pacquiao by about two weight classes. it would be ****** to say cotto's size won't influence this fight.

manny is a better boxer than miguel overall. but cottos size would be something he would use as an advantage.

you see, when fighters go up in weight, its not that their punch become weaker. its that the bigger guys can take much more punishment than what the fighter coming up in weight is used to. i would be very surprised if pacquiao was able to hurt cotto with one shot.

that is why its amazing how pac was able to hurt de la hoya and hatton when i believe that his current body frame is more suited around 130-135 lbs.

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.

What fight did you see Pac rehydrated 18 lbs?

ok theres proof of 16lbs. is that ok? And the normal 10 lbs. for cotto is not ok?

That 16 pounds was a fluke, he usually gains 9 - 11 lbs (look at the rest of his fights) which is on par for most fighters.

The last unofficial weigh in I've seen for cotto he was 159 and 161 is the highest seen(if memory serves me correct). His past 3 or four fights have not had unofficial weigh ins. I doubt he's gotten smaller over the past 2 years.

There's no proof that Cotto only gains 10 lbs, rather history dictates he gains 12 - 14 lbs but we haven't seen an unofficial weight in about two years!

CLassic Power vs Speed. Who wins?

Speed can neutralize power, but people forget Cotto isn't a one dimensional brawler, he knows how to box.

He was doubted in his fights with Judah and Mosley because of the speed and he was able to outbox both guys by using his timing and jab. The only reason people are making Pacquiao this heavy favorite is because of how he KO'd Hatton and how Cotto looked against Clottey. If you match both guys up (which is what you're supposed to do), Cotto has a lot of weapons in his arsenal that can definitely put Pacquiao in a lot of trouble.

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.

quintana is a good boxer but he is not avoided

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

lol. cotto would have ko THAT DLH in 2 rds

manny weighs in around 142-143. rehydrates to 148-150. cotto weighs in at 145, rehydrates around 160 lbs.
