Why would cotto fight at 147 when he hasn't been there in a couple years?

Mayweather fans are so delusional you actually believe Floyd was purposely letting himself get hit by Cotto to make the fight more exiting
he was, did you see the last round
Mayweather did that to prove a point (just like the Ortiz fight). He would go up in weight, to fight a guy coming off a legit win, fight him at his COMFORTABLE weight, and stand in front of him and trade and thats NOT his style... Everything everyone is complaining he wouldn't do. Cotto almost got KO'd in the last round when Mayweather started moving his feet and fighting his style...
Bottom line is that Pac/Arum do not want this fight. Pac said he would take less money to fight Floyd, but laughs when dude offers him 40 mil guaranteed? Then they got to build stadiums, Pac has a cut under his eye, they want drug-testing window (when if he was clean, he would've agreed the first time), excuse after excuse after excuse. And then Arum admits that he ducks for his fighters and Roach is known for training cheaters...Pac's whole camp is shady. I don't even care to see the fight no more, especially since Pac lost his last 2 fights (but only one counted).

Why would Pac fight Cotto at 154??

The only reason I fukks with Gary Russell is because does t have a gimmick.
And the fukked up part about everything is Cotto made Margarito fight for his 154 title in the rematch at 153 pounds.
nikkas is doing boss moves when they do that shyt. Cotto was the bigger attraction so he got away with it. He knew Antonio could make it cuz he fought Pac at 150 lbs in his previous fight.
nikkas getting mad at Pac for doing that shyt to Cotto over 2 pounds when he's still the smaller guy, but don't say shyt when Cotto turns around and does the same damn thing. If it's for your belt at 154, why you need to drop the weight a pound less? Why.....Well, because Cotto can. Same situation in the Pac fight.

Like I said Pac was the A-side of the attraction and the bigger star. Nobody made Cotto take the fight. If Cotto never complained about it then why ya'll nikkas getting so worked up over it.Pac was the biggest fight for him to take at the time. That nikka ain't gon let that opportunity go over 2 fukking pounds especially when it's just one pound short of what he comes in at some times anyway.
And yes Cotto at 145-147lbs is a better fighter than Cotto at 154.
At welterweight Cotto beat Mosely, Zab, Quintana, and Clottey.
At 154 he beat Mayorga and struggled like hell in that fight. He beats a one legged Yuri Foreman and a shot to shyt one eye Margarito.
Cotto's best performances were at the welterweight range. It sounds like you just repeating all the shyt Floyd said while promoting the Cotto fight instead of looking at actual facts and fights.
Cotto at 147 could not take a punch nearly as well as he could at 154. I don't know if you remember but for a while people thought Cotto was thought to have a weak chin. At 154 his ability to take punches is MUCH better since he isn't as weight drained.

Clearly im not talkin bout pacquaios whole career. Im not goin back to da days of him gettin knocked out by weak body shots in his home land
Just since de la hoya
De la hoya, cheato, cotto, marquez all at catchweights
Wanted to fight cotto a second time at a catchweight:
Hes da catchweight champion of da world
Its funny how he wanted a 145 catchweight when he was fighting for COTTOs 147 title
When mayweather wanted cotto's 154 title, he simply moved up to 154. Makes sense doesnt it?
Dat doesnt even make mayweather special, dats just standard boxing shyt
Dem top rank boys dont get down like dat

Oscar Dr La Hoya wasn't a catch weight you dumb fukk... They had a WW bout and Oscar came down to the 147 limit... Pac was only 142
Marquez was a catchweight brah?? That's a new one..
Keep trying to recreate history
Y'all continue to bring up Floydie fighting Cotto at 154... Big whoop.. Pac can't make 154, so what's the point of bringing this up

Drained, catchweight, same shyt to me brah
Bottom line, these guys r losing or gaining signficant weight to fight dis guy
Puttin dem at a disadvantage
Marquez wanted pacquaios title so he moved up to pacquaios weight
Dats what fighters do
If he asked for a middle weight, wha u think pacquaio and arum woulda said
Pacquaio only took dat fight cause he thought marquez had no chance under those conditions
Marquez ended up whoopin dat ass
Exactly and besides who are these BIG punchers at 154 that have tested Cotto's chin? I hope if it's not Yuri Foreman
.. Mayorga was decent. Margarito was never some big puncher at 154 nor was he at his most effective. The Santos fight proved that. Cotto fought Clottey, Judah, Mosely, Margarito, and Pac at 147 and all those dudes are good to great punchers and he was only stopped by 2 out of that list of the 5 listed in that group.
As far as Margarito using loaded gloves. It was never proven in the Cotto fight so I just leave it at that. Cotto still fought the wrong type of fight the 1st time (Similar to Freitas vs Corrales) and lost.

So mayorga is a decent puncher...but Clottey and Judah are good to great punchers
Why would Pac want to rematch somebody he demolished once at a catchweight at ANOTHER fukking catchweight??
So mayorga is a decent puncher...but Clottey and Judah are good to great punchers
What big KO's did Mayorga have at 154? His biggest KO's came at 147 where he starched Six Head Lewis and Forrest
Clottey and Judah punching at 147 >>>>>>>>Mayorga's punch at 154lbs
