I'm just going to answer the double standard question.

Floyd fought someone whose last fight was at 135.

Cotto is about to fight someone whose last two fights were at 140 and 147. Not only this but he will fight Pac at a catchweight. He will get criticized if he comes overweight, but that's still waiting to happen. Floyd on the other hand, came two pounds over the contracted limit against someone who is fighting two classes heavier than his highest weight.

Plus, like many others have said, Pacquiao's speed and power are still there so it's a much more credible fight.
