Bully for Pacquiao for not bullying Cotto

At the end of the day, Manny Pacquiao was true to himself, to his own nature.

He did not “wuss out” on the so called weight issue.
Reliable reporter Nick Giongco writes from the Philippines that Pacman authorized agent Michael Koncz to reaffirm that he will fight Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 at an agreed to weight of 145 pounds ot two under the welterweight limit.

Surely the Puerto Rican veteran will baloon in weight after the weigh in but how will that help him? If Cotto adds 12 pounds and Manny puts on 10 after the weigh in, what's the big deal?
Cotto has been skidding noticeably since he took a beating from Antonio Margarito and he needs speed, not bulk, to contend with Megamanny. He beat Joshua Clottey but was hardly dazzling especially in the closing rounds.
Simply put, it's the right time for Pacquiao to test Cotto.

Much was made of this small controversy, a molehill was turned into a mountain. It was always a trifling thing.
But I was right on this and my fellow Examiners dSource Guillermo and Matt Stolow were also correct in criticizing the demand for Cotto to make 143 pounds.
Such a demand goes totally against what people, at their core, love about Pacman, at his core, the idea that it's anybody, anywhere, anytime.
Pacquiao, in the early prime of his career, never needed the 143 pound crutch.

Maybe the whole thing was a Pacman whim or a figment of lawyer Jeng Gacal’s imagination.

It matters not now because Pacman is Johnny Ringo, the gentleman outlaw and the fastest gun in the ring unless Pretty Boy Floyd can prove otherwise.

Johnny Ringo wouldn’t ask for a two pound weight concession.

Bully for Manny for not being a bully on this issue.
