    The question is can Mosley even make 143 these day's? If I were Mosley I would tell them Fuck YOU 147 or no fight!

    I think Pacquiao and his team are just using Mosley as negotiating tool to attempt to make Cotto drop one more pound to 144.

    I don't get it. I can't see how Cotto could beat Manny. Manny should stop the Deva shit and just fight at 147. He stops Cotto either way, imo. Cotto is vastly overrated. He is good and better than Hatton and that Version of DLH. I just don't see Cotto beating him. He is way too open and Many will hit and move all night. Manny should do some rounds this time. Cotto is good enough not to get humiliated like Hatton did.

    Agreed. I wonder what all this weight shenanigans is about.

    As I said before, I do think if anyone deserves concessions in regards to weight it's pacman, a man who spent half his career at flyweight.

    But honestly, anyone with any sense would still pick Manny at 147, so who knows what this is about.

    It's not rocket science. They want to weaken Cotto becuase they know @147 Pac will be in some real shit. Cotto will KHTFO and this is the reason why they want him to drop to 143 lad! Again Mosley and Cotto dont need Pac, Pac needs them because @140 there aint much options.

    If Cotto and Mosley want the biggest possible pay day they certainly do need Pac. You think Mayweather is going to fight either one of them? That's the only other BIG fight out there for those guys. They all need eachother, they WILL work it out and Pac will fight either Mosley or Cotto.

    There is no they, it's Pacman doing this. If you ask me it must mean something. Maybe it means Hatton and or ODLH's power was hurting him.

    Also I disagree with Z that Cotto and Shane have no choice but to give in to Pac's demands. I actually think Cotto is the draw if you do it during the PR day parade.

    Either Shane or Cotto need to make a public offer to the other and that should put some fear in Pacquioa because it threatens to tie up both of his biggest present options, and he'll have no choice but to reconsider.

    That's not what I said though. I said "They will work it out" Which they will. I never said it was Cotto or Mosley who had to concede.
