Pac agrees to 145 lbs!!!

[Taeth]

I understand well formated sarcasm, but when it makes no sense I don't understand it.

Anyways IMO 145 can help Cotto because it will make his movement a little quicker which is the only chance he has of catching Pacquiao, even if he was as fast as he was at 140, I just can't see Miguel cutting the distance as quick as Manny can expand it.

It did have the sarcasm () smiley next to it, that should have been the dead giveaway

I don't think 145 will help Cotto, but I don't see it majorly hindering him. Pacquiao beats him though, my only concern is both guys are fairly strong starters & can fade off a bit, so that might play into one of their hands

I see it as a genuine toss up. I think this is easily Manny's biggest challenge to date.

Cotto is a DANGEROUS fighter, he's got a great shot at winning this, I don't understand how quickly people have written him off.

Its not as much about writting Cotto of as a fighter in general, put him in with Mosley, Berto, Collazo, Quintana, Khan, etc, etc. I would favor Cotto to win, but Pacquiao is the ony guy IMO that is all wrong for him.

Cotto is wide up to the left cross or uppercut, IMO Pacquiao definitely has the power to hurt him, if not with one shot than with an acculation effect, and while Cotto has great timing and good handspeed, I don't think his timing is as good as Pacquiao's, and he doesn't have the footspeed to close the gap.
