The excuse aftermath is why catchweights are retarded. Cotto got his ass beat bottom line. There is now a 144 pound welterweight champ and the fighters agreed to all this silly-ness,so it is what it is. Much props to manny his people have earned the right to gloat. I still say floyd beats either of these guys easy and everyone hopes are being set up to be crushed but PAC has definatly earned his shot
