Regarding weight loss, straight from the horses mouth

[Kev]

I don't think real boxing fans care about the alphabet soup titles. They just want good fights. Who gives a shit about the wbo, ibf, wbu, wba, wbc, ibo the intercontinental bullshit title or whatever. They just want to see a good fight.


I think this fight with Cotto will be set at 144 or 145. Cotto can shed 1 or 2 pounds, since he came in at 146 against Clottey.

Agreed, most people hate on all the organisations and how corrupt they are anyway yet when the Pacman is involved they suddenly want to prevent the tarnishing of these alphabet straps, it's quite bizarre really.

Thankfully history won't care one bit what weight this was fought at.

Barrera didn't accept the WBC title when he defeated Morales for the first time. He did that just to prove a point - that you don't really need a silly belt to be called a champion. I remember how wicked piss Sulaiman was. Lol!
