Cotto: "I Will Use Any Advantage I Can Against Everybody At 160 Just Like Pacquiao Did"

[Big Boss]

He fought Martinez at a contract weight of 159 pounds, one below the 160-pound division limit. With much more leverage against Geale, he insisted that he come down to 157 pounds and made no apologies.

"I had to do it before when I faced Manny Pacquiao. He made me come down to 145 pounds," Cotto told ESPN.com of his 2009 knockout loss to Pacquiao in a welterweight title fight. "Pacquiao used any advantage he had against me and I will do the same with everybody in the division. I am a small middleweight and I need to use this to my advantage."

Golovkin will be ready

Why is Miguel acting like he had to drop some crazy weight for the Pacquiao fight? Dude spent pretty much his entire time in the Welterweight division weighing 146 (aside from being 147 for the Margarito loss).

You see how hard it was for Broner to shred a pound for his fight against molina

when you make somebody sweat down below their comfort level it effects them

if the pounds didn't matter what not just fight at 147 then

Pacquaio gets a pass for everything

How??

Ever since Pacquiao got his title he's defended it at 147 with the exception of JMM3(who asked for the cw) and Algieri who were both coming up from 140...

This hoe ass nikka Cotto has yet to defend his Middleweight strap against another Middleweight at 160.. If he's too bytchmade to defend his title at 160 he needs to be stripped

bro you and I know this. Pac was fighting at 147. If he wanted Cotto to drop to 145 then went right back up to 147, it's not for the show or to see Cotto's definition, it was because he knew it was hard for Miguel to maintain at 147 to begin with. Then again, nobody forced Cotto to take the fight. I think the Pac fight really pissed him off. Dude looked like a zombie on the scale and he was weak. It's only right he felt taken advantage of.

If the 1-2 lbs were nothing, then why didn't Pac fight him at 147 ?

stop with the lies nikka

Pac was fighting at 140 the fight before Cotto and came in at 138

Cotto looks exactly the same at 147 against Marg as he does against Pac... At the weigh in Cotto was quoted saying he was in the best shape of his career, WHY ARE YOU SAVING HIM? zombie?? weak?? stahhhp.. .

the fight before pac..cotto weighed in at 146 against clottey...146....a fight where he went life and death....was there any talks of him being drained for that fight? no..why's that? because he WON..you're telling me a 1 pound difference in between a 4-5 month period is enough to make him drained?

this isnt a chad dawson going down to 168 to face ward situation breh where he could blame it on weight..cotto just got his ass whooped plain and simple and needed a scapegoat excuse

@ Cotto

I'm not even mad. I always say the champ dictates the terms & if any challenger doesn't like it, beat them & take their spot. It's all apart of the game.

Like I said in the first wee

pacquaio gets a pass for everything
From opponent selection
To weight training
To out of the ring activities
Mainstream Pacquaio (to a degree) is a media creation so the media always takes care of him


And like I said in the past, pacquaio beats that version of cotto even if the fight took place at 147 (although I think it would have been a closer fight )


But the fact reminds that roach and em knew cotto was growing out of 147 and was having trouble making the weight so they catchweighted his ass
