No offense man, and I don't mean this as dickishly as it's going to sound, but you've demonstrated in the past that you have no idea how these sorts of things work.
You right, it does sound dickish. If your going to make an argument like that, you need to be specific. Otherwise no one knows what you are talking about! If you have an argument that has substance, lay it out. If I'm wrong and can see the error of my ways, I'm man enough to admit it!
In discussions about this topic in the past, mainly between yourself and AdamGB (who knows a great deal about these types of issues), you had no refutation for the evidence he brought to support his argument that even two pounds can make a huge difference for a fighter. You have no arguments other than "it's only two pounds" and "Cotto/his trainers/whoever wouldn't take the fight if it was unhealthy for him or if he was unable to perform to his usual standards etc..." which is ridiculous. He, like almost anyone else, would do anything within reason to attain the money and potential glory that stems from a Pacquiao fight.
