ah but if he gets the win It's not like losing your title on the scales or do we have a new weight division, 'whatever freddie roach says'.

If these tactics were in place outside of boxing people would be calling it out for the BS it is.
But they can just threaten to pull out should he weigh over. And obviously that's no good for anyone.

Remember this is a career high payday for Cotto, and obviously a fight he believes he can win otherwise he'd have refused it.
Unlikely. You seem to think it's good to insist on bringing a fighter down in weight? How is that good? These guys work real hard to make weight, it's not like the rest of the tubby world dropping a couple of pounds. It's much easier to add it than to trim fat when you don't have much to lose anyway.

Oh let's have a race I'll drive a Ferrari but you can only have a Skoda but you will get paid a lot. That's fair.
