Cotto's welterweight belt is on the line!!!

[Howlin Mad Missy]

this is bullshit, if Manny wants a title as a welterweight it better be at welterweight, i was fine with the catchweight bullshit as long as the title was left out, i thought it was bullshit when Leonard did it, think it's bullshit now, hope Pacquiao gets ko'd brutally

Thats funny because any weight between 141 and 147 IS welterweight. 147 is the Welterweight "limit" its not the weight that makes you a weltweweight otherwise if any fighter came into a fight weighing 146 they wouldn't say "he is in great shape" they'd say "go gain a pound to make this official"
There is just a contracted weight for 145 which is still welterweight. 145 is above 140 and beneath 148 so this fight is at welterweight...

Not that I agree with this catchweight stuff but I thought that'd be worth pointint out

We're all aware of that.

Yes ww has a range but it has the official limit at 147. Therefore by altering those parameters to say the limit is now 145 it isn't a true ww fight.

I think they're hoping what happened to DLH will happen to Cotto.
