I've heard that there are no titles on the line, if so then I have no problem with it being at a catch weight. If Cotto was 146 for the Clottey fight, he can make 144 which imo is fair to both sides.

No one complained about the Hopkins-Pavlik fight being at a catchweight right? Because that wasn't for a title.
Maybe its lame because you misunderstood. I am a Pac fan but I keep it factual. I never said a few pounds in the lower weights weren't anything. Nice try. A few pounds is a big difference and I stand by that. You've obviously never cut weight before. Hell, in the lower weight classes even the weight classes themselves are separated by a few pounds. If a few pounds is nothing then why is Roach and Pac adamant about the catchweight? What I also said was if the fight is going to be for Pac's so called 7th weight class title then it needs to be at welterweight, 147. Otherwise it is just a fight just like Hopkins/Pavlik.
That is not complete fact. Welterweight is 140.01 to 147. Not 147 lbs only.
I understand that over 140 to under 147 is welterweight for namesake. What I am saying is if you are calling out the welterweight champion for his title then you need not tell him he must be smaller than 147 because I am smaller than a welterweight. They are making the welterweight limit 145. That is not the welterweight limit therefore the title shouldn't be on the line. It should just be a fight Cotto vs. Pac.
