Cotto came in at 146 for Clottey, he can make it 145.

Again did you bitch at other catchweight fights that wasn't for titles?
You must be reading too fast. I said if it is just for a fight then fine but if this is for the title then its bulls#@! Read slower next time. And many people are saying this would be Pac's 7th weight class title. Did you read the article when Roach said he doesn't care if Cotto is at 200lbs. but he wants a catchweight. The difference between this fight and every other catchweight is that he is not doing to meet up he is doing it to drain fighters who barely make their weight class. That is why Roach said he would not let Pac fight any welterweight at 147 except PBF. To all the people who choose not to accept the truth against their fanfair, if the 2 or 3 pounds is no factor then why is Pac's team the adamant ones? Why is 147 good for DLH and PBF but not Mosley or Cotto? Answer these questions factual without getting offended.
Very well said.
As I see it, Roach is just throwing his weight around. I believe Cotto sees himself as the challenger ( he said it would be the greatest challenge of his career) in the same way Hatton saw himself as the challenger to the P4p throne.

Now, it may not be unfair that he is doing this seeing that Roach/Paquiao have earned the right to call the shots. If fighters want to fight Pac they have to fight him on his terms. That's why their the adamant ones.
