    I do think this fight should have just as well been at 147. It would eliminate excuses or a possible tactic. But I still think at 145 Cotto will overwhelm Pac. But if Pac works on boxing circles he can convincingly outbox Cotto. His footspeed is too fast. Cotto is susceptible right down the middle but Pac doesn't have to use that. Its much easier to outbox Cotto with the ability Pac has. And Cotto has been looking closer to ordinary as of recent. I think Pac very much liked what he saw in the Clottey fight. But maybe that cut was the neutralizer and Cotto will come back to Cotto of pre-Margarito. I like Roach as a trainer and I would guess he saw the ability to outbox Cotto right there but for some reason I think Pac will be gunning and that will make for a tougher fight and I think Cotto will eventually overwhelm him. Either way, I like the fight being made. If only there was a super six welterweight tournament!

    I wish it had been at 147 too; you want to take the title and trinket to wrap around your waist then play within the weights as usual.

    But, should Manny win, I won't take anything away from him...period. Cotto made the choice, the governing bodies don't take issue with it, so it's on now. And if he loses and makes excuses, I know for me personally I won't pay attention to them. Same with Oscar; he wanted it and got thoroughly embarassed and that's on him. He made alot of $$$ off losing to Pac, but I saw some threads talking about how he was too embarassed to answer his own door after that loss Hope the $$$ was worth the shame. The Cotto thing isn't drastic like that, but still I won't give any credence to weight drain excuses if he loses and tosses around the weight card. Cotto doesn't seem the type to make excuses though anyways.

    I hope though, if Pac loses, that the nut licking Pac fans don't bellyache about Cotto being bigger but not really better, and take credit away from him.

    If only I could go to Vegas twice this year

    This is gonna be a fantastic fight. November the 14th I cant wait for. Genuine 50/50 fight IMO and I hope there's a 24/7 for this.

    Yes, I heard awhile ago, that if this fight gets made, there will be a 24/7.
