if i am a boxer there is no way mr. perez can be my manager. he is maybe so stupid to be one. imagine letting his fighter fight a too much bigger guy just to prove that he is good. how stupid and irresponsible he is. mr. perez,as a boxing writer, should have known that even how good your fighter is – you can not just let him fight without lookng for somekind of fairness. catch weight is one and the best way of levelling the playng field. to suggest the otherwise is stupidity.

Cotto beat Mosley and beat the guy that beat williams Quintana so why he is not the best welter in the world Can U tell me? o yes is because he is puertorican not american right.

i agree to mr. spoon, at 144-145 weight is fair for both fighter pacman and cotto, because pacman optimize 140 while cotto is 147 so as a fair to them, let us meet them in center point from their regular weight into 144…not bad for both fighters..

just one thing, guys, pacquiao himself has never ever said that he is the best. all the accolades given him are from respected and highly-regarded boxing scribes. the man is so humble he is always saying that he fights to make people happy. don’t put words into his mouth. only us fans argue whether he is p4p or not. he has never insisted on record that he is the best. if all this talk and arguments about him continue, don’t you all think that maybe he is indeed great? have you ever had this much talk about the jmm-mayweather fight? he is the hottest item in boxing and that is not because of what he says but because of the passions he evokes within all of us. and because of that, he ranks among those boxing great who comes once in a while– those whose mere presence on and off the ring creates magic that we cannot help ourselves but talk about him whether in a good or bad manner.

what are y’all arguing about? this is the bottomline, plain and simple: pacquiao is chicken $#!t. he won’t fight cotto unless cotto is half-dead at the scale. what else is there to talk about? rationalize all you want, you rabbit-brained pacnuthuggers, your idol is chicken $#!t.

to RealBox: oh, yeah, he is a national hero, alright. but what does that say about the nation though? pfffttt!

for information, you got to look at the normal weight of the fighter to understand if its a drain or not, for example im gonna use this fight Cotto vs Paquiao. Paquiao is lighter so going up ist not a big deal is just eating more protein and doing more exercise to get up in weight wile keeping in touch, But for Cotto his normal weight is 160 something, he need to go lighter by eating less and doing exercise, using just the 160 pounds, if cotto fights at a catchweight of 142, he would be loosing nearly 20 pounds, its not healthy for your body when your normal weight is 160 to loss all that weight. Stop sayin that its 4 lbs of diference between 147 to 142, its not about that, its about coming from 160 to 147 or 142.

i read all comments and i laugh a lot, ppl saying that pac man is the best, that hes last 3 fight were awesome bla bla bla bla, th catchweight, they need pacman, pacman dont need them… REMEMBER IT WAS PACMAN WHO CALL COTTO TO FIGHT, IT WASNT COTTO, SO WHO NEEDS WHO?? COTTO DOESNT NEED HIM TO PROVE ANYTHING JUST TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, COTTO IS AN ELITE WELTER. so dont write and fight here using your opinions, use facts, they support your comments. Theres ppl saying that Pacman need to fight Mosley and Williams to prove something at welter, but Mosley got outboxed by cotto, williams got out-boxed by Carlos quintana (he avenged that loss with a ko, but still lost to Quintana) Quintana was KO and out-boxed by cotto so stop saying that mosley and williams are the best welter because the facts doenst support YOUR opinion.

WOW! ok first of all the only catch weight Pacquiao fought was with DLH. And man com’on, are you suggesting Pacquiao should’ve fought DLH at 154lbs? Oh great, “I’m Really Disappointed in Pacquiao” statement is a lie coming from you. Clearly you pretend to be “disappointed” when the facts you are stating is clear as day that all bouts were fair. You are not disappointed cause you don’t like him in the first place. Good article for displaying your dislike in him

Every time this guy writes it’s like Euthanasia.

Manny Pacquiao’s demolition of DLH doesn’t count because DLH was weight drained??? Last time I checked, Pacquiao climbed TWO full weight classes to fight at the WELTERWEIGHT limit of 147. What would you have the man do, fight at 160?!

And if you knew anything about boxing, 144 is still in the welterweight class; maybe Cotto fights best at 147, but Pacquiao fights best at 144. He’s the draw, he’s the star, so he calls the shots.

Pacquiao has fought every great you’ve put in front of him; he destroyed Hatton at HIS NATURAL WEIGHT, an undefeated ring champ–what’s Pacquiao’s excuse there?!

Also, Cotto is a bonafide Welterweight; he owns a UD over Shane Mosley, so why would Manny fight Sugar instead of the man that beat him? If Pacquiao fought Mosley and won, everyone would complain that Sugar is too old and drained and Pac should have fought Cotto, the man that beat him.

If Pacquiao beat Wladamir Kiltchko you would complain about something; do us all a favor and stop writing about the sport we love. Take up UFC and do us all a favor.

are you all blind? can you measure the size of a man? or may be your all out of school youth…weight it does not a matter, nor bigger size maybe, example: can you imagine six wheeler truck collide with small car.. that will be happen if pacman would agree in 145-147.. all who comments negative to pacman is a brainless man..to have fair fight and advantage of a big man will limit just go down and small go up in the middle so that both fighter is safe.. remember before the fight they have an allowance month to practice, take note this not an quick adjustment of weight,,, so that is only a reason if fighter is losed.. may be in reducing in 1 day will effect but month i dont care..

Darren, you see that key on your keyboard called “Caps Lock”?

Use it.

As for this fight wasn’t metioned before that Cotto said he didn’t have a problem coming down in weight anyway?

pacman coward? hahaha brain less comments like that.. remember not only pacman will decide and to make deal for the fight,, he is only a fighter not for dealing and negotiation, remember each boxer has a coach, manager,and promoter,, and expert to to bring a match.. pacman will indanger if he fight in the bigger man, as much as possible to fight and to have a fair fight as a small man,WEIGHT is only the way… old fighter, drained, unprepare, that is an example of excuses for loser..
