If they don't make a difference, why do his team insist on catchweight instead of letting him fight without any doubt at established weights? That would at least clear this issue.
Well i doubt Pac would fight above the welter weight limit of 147 surely 149 would make a big difference. To be fair I think Manny would beat Cotto if the fight was at that weight but it's more of a principle thing of setting a limit for your opponent of 145 when the real limit is 147... Why his team insist on catchweights i have no idea.. I mean if Pac can only make 145 thats fine let his opponent come in at 147 if he wants dont say " well if pac can't make it you cant either " especially in title fights.. thats just my opinion though
