De La Hoya ended up coming in at 145 or something... Why can he cope with that, but not a 145 Cotto? weight isn't the issue here... the drain of boiling down is.

If this turns out to be true then it's because he knows that because Cotto is smaller than ODLH he would find it much easier to make that weight... and therfore wouldn't be as drained.
Say what you want about Floyd, but he never tried draining a fighter down before.

Hatton was at 147 before and wanted a shot at the Liner Welterweight Championship and the $$$$$$$$$ a Floyd fight brought

JMM called out Floyd and wants to be the one to take that 0 off his record

Floyd fought a healthy full 154 version of Delahoya whilst giving him every advantage, gloves, ring size etc. Why cant Pac fight Mosely or Cotto under those same conditions?
Agreed and its not like Floyd Mayweather Jr is alot smaller than Manny Pacquiao, when he was Manny Pacquiao's age in the Amateurs wasn't he a Featherweight ?

I give Manny Pacquiao credit but i don't like what im hearing recently, and Manny Pacquiao putting on alot of weight since he was 17 isn't something out of the ordinary either.

As i've said many times im 19 and when i was 16 i was pretty skinny 140, but with lifting weights and eating alot more, i actually got up to 180s. Now i've lost a little weight cutting im a perfect size at 6'1 178 pounds.

Now obviously i was pretty skinny and cause im alot bigger than Manny Pacquiao, naturally its easier for me to put on the weight but Manny Pacquiao weight wise where he is now, with all his trainers, dietitians, getting him there is pretty normal IMO.

I haven't got anything bad to say about Manny Pacquiao, all i'll say if you can't move up enough in weight to fight Welterweights. Don't fight em end of theres plenty of fights i'd love him to take between 135-140.
