(Comparison Pics) Miguel Cotto Looks Dehydrated, Should Pacquiao Let Cotto Weigh-In At 147?
By Lou Block
After watching the arrival of both Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto, I noticed that Cotto’s eyes were sunken, he looked surprised and wide eyed like he saw a ghost, that look is the look of a man who hasn’t eaten in days with no fluids in him. The same look was on previous Pacman victims, Oscar De La Hoya and Erik Morales. That is a key sign of dehydration.
For those of you who say 1 pound doesn’t make a difference in a fight, it sure does make a difference when a fighter is coming down from 175 + pounds. Pacman on the other hand was still fresh looking, no sign of dehydration at all, like he had a big glass of water right before his arrival. He had a big smile, probably from knowing that Cotto is killing himself to make weight. I don’t blame Manny, I would be smiling too if I had such an advantage over my opponent as well.
Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach said if Cotto comes in above the allotted weight limit he will cancel the fight and call it off, basically denying fans of a fight they wanted to see. If I were Pacman and Cotto missed weight by a few pounds and weighed in at 147 lbs, I would give that to Cotto, so I could prove myself against a fresh guy and as Manny says “make the people happy”.
Another reason why Manny should still go through with the fight if Cotto doesn’t make weight is for legacy. If he lets Cotto come in at the 147 lb welterweight limit, he could finally claim that he won a title in legitimate fashion with no catch weight or stipulations.
Judge for yourself look at the pictures below:

HAHAHA! THIS AMATEUR WRITER GOT OWNED!
this is CRAP! why dont you go check PHILBOXING http://philboxing.com/news/story-29389.html and you can see a LOT of PHOTOS for their Last Presscon..I am An Artist, and I am knowledgable about Photos. you can’t compare different “SHOTS” from different Event or time..even Camera has different qualiy of Shots and Modes..Like the LCD monitor produces different Pixel color compare from other brands…EXCUSES CRAP!
hey guys.. dont worry ,,, because everything will be fine,, i believe , cotto will catch the weight of 145 pounds and that will be sure,, because he is hungry to fight pacquiao and if he does not get the 145 lbs, the fight will be cancel and the long long training of cotto will be a big useless anymore , so im sure and im telling you, cotto will do anything in a good way to make his weight into 145 lbs so that the fight will not be canceled..
this foool is retarded just like the lester salvador..get your facts right or better yet find something else to write about..or find somethin else to do besides writing
this foool is retarded just like the lester salvador..get your facts right or better yet find something else to write about..or find somethin else to do besides writing..
i tried to submit the comment but it said ive already said it..so im doin a lil editing haha
lame ass article..remind me of a lil kid writing about something thats not on point you wasted your time writing this article what you get out of it you wasted people time with your bullcrap and youre getting nothin but bad comments because of it
THIS ARTICLE SHOULD BE THE ARTICLE OF THE YEAR..GREAT OBSERVATION!!!!GREAT WORK! YOU DESERVE A PROMOTION OR SOMETHING..COULDN’t ANyONE THOUGHT OF WRITING THIS BUT YOU!!!DO YA KNOW ANYTHING??
haaayyy… what the &^@%#@..?
CORRECTION GUYS! this is not a future excuse.. It is already an EXCUSE… por favor, we’re expecting Cotto to come 100% for this fight considering he trained several days earlier than Pac… and now what? we’re hearing excuses already even the fight have not yet started!!! my oh my… hehehe
I think it is you ( Mr. Lou Block ) who’s been dehydrated. The Cotto picture you showed is his looks after Pac KOs him with his eyes crossed. lol
please dont use that as an excuse when he lose..
The food were good and tasty. Especially the deserts. It was the best Italian specialty I’ve ever taste..
Is this the right website? Opppss.. I think this is the wrong website.
Yo! this writer is a ModerPackman Hater! Already making excuses. Cotto didn’t agree to this fight just so he can loose the belt to Manny. He signed up for this fight because he believes he can beat Manny in 145-147. And Cotto already said that he will be the winner of this fight come nov. 14. So what are you worrying about my Prend!? Are you scared because you know that Pacman has the skills to kick Cottos Culo?
NAH, COTTO LOOKS THE SAME AS BEFORE HE FOUGHT HIS PREVIOUS FIGHTS. EVEN IF HE FIGHTS AT FULL WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT HIS FACE STILL LOOKS GAUNT. CHECK OUT HIS PICS DURING HIS WEIGH IN AT PREVIOUS FIGHTS. ANYWAY HE GOES 145 OR 146 OR 147, HE WILL STILL BE IN A VERY TOUGH FIGHT WITH PACQUIAO.
this site sucks!!providing readers an idiot writer…….both fighters hve trainers and advisers…surely they also analyzed and agree in what is stateed in the contract…both fighters signed the contract…with a good agreements!
The face of Cotto doesn’t spell dehydration but more of a worried face.Probably some inner self conflict is happening to him(like a psychologist).
But without trying to be sounding intellectual, personally i do believe he is a worried face than a dehydrated face.Would you add another picture of a confirmed dehydrated face ,even not a boxer but much better if a boxer with doctor’s certification that he is dehydrated,for readers to really compare it please,thanks.
Just don’t read any articles from NOWBOXING. Seems a bunch of writers (wannabe) who don’t even get their facts straight.
Oh and for the record, Cotto himself admitted that prior to the weigh-in with the Clottey fight, he was 145.
It’s Roach who said he’ll allow Pacquiao to fight Cotton only up to the welterweigh limit of 147lbs, but guess what, Pacquiao categorically said he will fight Pacquiao even if he exceeds the limit.
Again, to the writers of LIEBOXING i mean nowboxing, get your facts straight.
hmmm… maybe its the camera’s white balance or
He looks like nervous
what??? r u kidding me? Manny has a big smile on his face because he knows Cotto is weight drained? IDIOT! pacquiao always have that big smile. JUst look at him going to the ring on de la hoya and HAtton fight! what a total dumbass!
hahaha!! i bet they goin to use that again for an excuse,,if cotto will loss they will say again he was dehydrated or drained,,,you are all nuts and stupid…………..
geezz! how come this guy cotto drained and dehydrated,when he fought clottey his weight was 146lbs. he only need to reduce 1lb..dont make it an excuse if he loss this fight….if he will loss this fight it means pacman is too good for him…
damn! theres no difference with those pictures ,cotto still looks fresh,,its the color of the picture, you idiot!ya better wear eyeglass or if u have now,change the grade of the lens,,lolol…u sick guy!!
Lou make a good research.. you feed people with your article shit.. Roach said that if cotto weighs ABOVE 147 the he will cancel the fight.. If cotto would weigh at 147 the fight would still go on.. You are soooo stupid.
Cotto’s martyrdom is getting near. Nove14 will be martyrdom day via a brutal knockout coming from the Pacman. Booming shots from the Pac’s chainsaw hands will execute the judgement and puerto rico will have a national hero in the person of a martyred cotto. Please guys pray for cotto’s survival here.
hey all of you!!!!
lets all pay attention to what Michael Buffer will be announcing after pacman executes cotto w/in 4 rounds…………….
im getting so excited!!!! hahahaha
” and now, the 1st man in the entire boxing history……
…. to achieve 7 weight division championship…
MMMMMMMANNNY….PAAAAACMAAAAN…PAAAACQUAAAAAO !
whoa!!!! i love to hear that!!!
Why already make an excuse when that fight has not even started yet. he weighed 146 with his fight agsinst clottey 1 lb is no problem for a great prfessional fighter like cotto.
I KNOW THAT THE PACMAN IS BRAVE BUT BRAVERY DOESN’T EQUAL STUPIDITY WHY HAVE AN OPPONENT HAVE ALL THE ADVANTAGES THE CATCHWEIGHT IS THERE TO EVEN THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT, COTTO IS THE TRUE WELTERWEIGHT WITH TRUE WLTERWEIGHT SIZE. POWER AND CHIN, WHILE THE PACMAN IS MORE OF A JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT FIGHTER AT BEST GOING UP IN WEIGHT WITH THE BEST WELTERWEIGHT IN THE WORLD AND SHOULD BE THE UNDERDOG IN THIS FIGHT THE ONLY ADVANTAGE HE HAS IS SPEED AND NOT BY MUCH BECAUSE COTTO HAS SPEED HIMSELF (MAYWEATHER HAS NOT FOUGHT ENOUGH WLTERWEIGHTS TO CLAIM THAT AND MARGARITO IS A CHEATER WHO CANNOT CLAIM THAT EITHER) THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT FIGHT AND WE THE FANS ARE THE SURE WINNIER IN THIS FIGHT, I’M A FAN OF BOTH FIGHTERS BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS I WOULD SUPPORT THE PACMAN ALL THE WAY.
i say Freddie is one hell of a coach, always looking for that small advantage for his ward Manny. Can’t blame Coach Freddie for being street smart in protecting the Pacman. But, to settle all the questons if Pacman’s opponents were dehydrated, let’s just wait see Pacquiao fight in the heavyweight division. Now, all doubters of Manny’s abilities are a fighter, are you all now satisfied?
Lou Block, if you make basic mistakes like the one you just did on the weight limit Freddie Roach mentioned, you do not deserve to write on this website.
and to Joash, if you think that Pacquiao and Freddie team is a fraud, why do you even read this article?
They just could not admit the fact that the Pinoy phenom would rule the boxing world. Come everyone, watch and witness the pinnacle success (7th division title) of Manny. I am very sorry to mention that Cotto is destined to be a part of it… Enjoy!!!
LOU “CINDER” BLOCK on November 11th, 2009 7:07 pm I am requesting that the Webmaster close all comments! Why is it so hard for you pac maniacs to talk in a sane manner?
I am just sharing my opinion, I just feel Pacman should face Cotto at 147,so people do not question his legitimacy.
IF YOU WANT US TO TALK THE SAME MANNER MAN READ AGAIN YOUR ARTICE. EVEN YOUR DADDY WILL BE MAD
You Puertoricans do love your fighter so much as much as Filipnos loves PACMAN. But this is not a fight of watchers outside the ring. You may say Cotto will win since you have followed his victory, but you forgot to watched PACMANS fight. With your fighters victory those opponents are not as good as Marquez, Morales and Dela Hoya. So better yet, think twice or you might be shedding your tears by the end of the fight.
VIVA PACQUIAO!!!!
COTTO KO @ 4th.. Want to bet Puertoricans in Cebu Phils. 100K to win 250K.
Stupid article from a stupid writer. Find another job. You suck.
