Pac always says he is respectful of the sport of boxing.. but he's not... and maybe he is, aware that he is hurting the sport of boxing by demanding fighting at catchweights for division belts. He's not bright at making decisions.
Fighting for the 154 division for title belt at catchweight of 150, with the wrong choice of opponent doesn't bode well for him. History will not forget this.Last edited by titan_1987; 07-29-2010, 12:05 PM.

I give Pacquiao props for his 1st fight with Barrera but nothing after that.
Point is, Pac was matched against a counter pouncher who outboxed him. Pacquiao could not handle the step up in class and was gifted the draw and decision.
Only fanboys fell for that ****. De La Hoya was old, drained and shot.

This thread will find its way among boxing articles written by respected sportswriters to be read by boxing fans. TS opinion matters more than the opinions of Merchant, Sugar and those ESPN dudes that keep saying Floyd is a coward...

Also, catch-weights for titles isn't new. Its rare, but not unprecedented in the sport. Its only in this time that people are making such a huge fuss over it. I'm not sure even if historically this will hurt Pac. We'll see.

It's not a precedent because catchweight fights, even in title bouts, are nothing new.
Not that I like it though. Titles in boxing have already lost value with the number of belts out there, and more divisions. It means even less when a fighter isn't contractually allowed to weigh in at the weight limit for the division.
