Should Pacquaio get credit for beating Cotto at 145

[The Congressman]

Any fighter should get credit for beating another fighter 5+ pounds heavier than him at fight night.

Chagaev must have recived major props then for beating Valuev

This is really so simply to understand.....

If two fighters are of equal ability but one is bigger than because all other factors are even the bigger guy will win.

However if one fighter is vastly better than the other fighter but the other fighter is bigger then the smaller but better fighter will still likely win because he better everywhere else.

It's a simple equation.

Manny beating Cotto is a much much much bigger deal than Chagaev beating Valuev because Valuev is inferior in every single regard to Cotto other than size.

Manny would be beating a bigger and also elite fighter.

Chagaev beat a bigger but mediocre fighter.

How is that hard to understand?

Agree with Bilbo. Manny should get full credit for beating Cotto at 145.

i grasped the catchweight idea from the very first time bilbo explained it.



wrong board this should be at the pac thread or is the pac thread made for spam only? no really?

Everything to do with Pac should be on that other forum theyve had to make on here to keep the idiots away from discusiing boxing with real boxing fans

No, he should not recieve full credit. Now if he was to fight Cotto at 147 with none of these phoney strings attached I would give him full credit for the win. Manny is looking for big money fights whilst trying to avoid risk by bringing WW's down from their optimum fighting weights. There are no more big money fights at 140 for him so he is trying on this tactic.

I refuse to give him much credit for that kind of carry on.

it just puzzles me why posers like you who calls other posters "idiots" and don't have a decent boxing analysis or opinion gets a positive rep! if you don't wanna see the name 'pac' then don't go to a thread with the name 'pac'.

[Bilbo's Mom]

Of course he should!

Cotto weighed in at 146 lb EVEN against Clottey. Here watch the video of the weigh in here. He weighed 146.0 lbs

So you think if he has to lose a single freaking pound it means he's drained and done and is just a shell?
