Regarding weight loss, straight from the horses mouth

One point, Floyd did go up a division to fight the guy considered the best ODLH & got little credit for it from many, rather than being considered brave. Personally I have no problem with 145, I just don't think it should be for a title as for me it makes the alphabets even more of a joke than they already are. 2 extra pounds probably wouldn't be that bad for Cotto, I think he could do it, but 143 I think would be a big problem for him. I don't blame Manny for choosing how it goes though, the guys at the top of the sport have earnt that right the hard way. Also IMO I think Cotto is made for him & is actually an easier ask for Manny than either Mosley or Berto, despite the fact Cotto is better than Berto, & I expect Pacquiao to take a comfortable decision.
