    Default Should Cotto not bother making weight?

    After the contempt Mayweather showed in not making the agreed weight which was classless. Should Cotto do the same and just make the welter limit and beat up Pac?

    Cotto will honour the catchweight like a man. No chance he does any shit like that.

    Very good point.

    Mayweather got off very light for showing no respect what so ever for JJM or the fans in reguards to the weight limit.

    What if JJM said fuck it I am not fighting?


    But as Pac man is the star and Cotto is just the supporting star Cotto will make the weight.

    Boxing in lots of ways is not a fair sport.

    His body has grown a lot since moving up from 140 (3 and a half years ago), there is also the possibility the Cotto will not be able to make 144.
    Look at how drained looking he was at 146 for the Clottey fight.

    I think Cotto looks fine there. Clottey is a bit scary lookin man. He looks like Starvin Marvin, sure everyone remembers him from southpark..... Ha

    I say Cotto weighs in fien, he shouldn't be strugglin for motivation in the build up to this one.....

    Clottey looks bigger. Now these are real welterweights that will go up to 160lb fight night. Would Floyd mess with a real big welter?

    I don't know man he looks a little light to me, not all that different than he did before the Malignaggi fight (except the obvious addition of tattoos). I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Cotto unable to make 144. I think Clottey naturally has 0% body fat though.

    Nah, Cotto should make the weight as should any fighter make an agreed weight limit.

    Was a bit of a bitch move by Mayweather for not making the weight and marred an otherwise perfect return.

    Was dissapointed by that. I remember how annoyed I'd get when I used to attend amateur shows and hear that a lot of guys wouldn't make weight so fights would have to be cancelled. Imagine being the opponent having trained so hard for that fight only for it to be cancelled?

    It's disrespectful.

    Yes should have made Mayweather dry out in a sauna for 6 hours just to teach him a lesson.

    2 hours would've been fine.

    plus, PBF didn't give JMM a brain damage like Gatti did Gamache.

    The CONTRACTED weight was 147 with the stipulation that Mayweather would pay money for every pound he was over 144. So it wasn't mandatory.

    Cotto is CONTRACTED to come in at 145 so he won't but if it wasn't mandatory he would.

    Ah no worries, I thought I'd got it all wrong for a sec. I think he will struggle a little to get to 145 but not enough to piss up his chances of being able to fight how he wants to fight. Well I hope not anyway.
