dam its like trying to pound the square peg into the circle hole w you guys……
welterweight limit is 141-147… thanks i never knew that.
why are we fighting at catchweight of 145?
why is that the stipulation to make this fight happen?
the champ should have to fight at a lower weight, less money, and put his belt on the line to accomodate a popular guy? bullshat!!!!
thats bogus…

147 lbs is the limit for welterweight and 141-147 is a welterweight class. they should be fighting for the belt

of course!

If you want to beat the champ,you should come up and meet the champ.No special rules for Manny and his fans.This is boxing,we have rules and regs to follow.

People are stuck to say as if 147 is the welterweight division. By boxing rules, 141-147 is a welterweight division.

In this case Cotto is the champ and manny is the contender, Manny’s the best pound 4 pound best in lighter weight classes but he doesn’t have a say in Cotto’s belt. Unless he would to agree to fight at the 147 weight limit then it shouldn’t be for a 147lb belt.

he wants the welterweight title he should move up to 147. End of story
