    Well if i am honest about it i would rather see a fighter come in over. Reason why is who wants to see a fight when the other guy is drained. I mean i never want to see what happen to Oscar Dela Hoya happen to anyone. Just pay the money and move on, he couldn't make the weight o well i guess. Thats half the reason i dont like catch weights, if Cotto can not make it health. Then i dont care if he comes in at a pound over, I dont care for either fighter Pac or Cotto. But i dont want to see a skelton come in like Dela Hoya did so a pound doesnt bother me that much i guess.

    Yeah no one wants a replay of the Oscar fight, if he really can't make 145 in a healthy way I doubt he would have agreed.

    Yea i understand Kell not saying no one should make weight. Just if they cant make the extra pound then dont do it and pay the money needed.

    Miguel came in at 146 for the Clottey weigh-in, and I have to believe that he can take that one pound off safely, otherwise I don't think he would have agreed to it.

    That is also why he started training camp earlier than normal, so that he can take it off safely, and not have to drain himself the last week before the fight. He also did not allow himself to gain alot of weight after the Clottey fight, because he didn't want to have to lose a lot of weight before the fight.
