Floyd wants Featherweights to jump up multiple weight divisions to fight him at 147lbs.
Manny wants Welterweights to drop a couple of pounds to a catch weight of 144 (plus or minus a pound or two).
WHAT IS WORSE?
Weight drained is worse than ballooned. Also, its not 147 its a catchweight of 144.
Weight Drained = Dehydration
Ballooned = Uncomfortable
Well said,
Another thing, they don't have to hit 147 if they don't want to. They can come in at 142-144
And what hate might that be , might be dumb asses I hate as I do hate dumb ass people , and what big weight difference are you talking about , oh thats right 4 pound Floyd will have on JMM in the fight ,,,, lol fuken amazing !
Closer to 6 lbs there pal. But tell me, why does Floyd need advantages (as fighting at WW clearly is) over a 36 year old, less talented (surely you will agree with this) boxer that was fighting at SFW last year?
he didn't start having problems making weight 'til his last years at 130.
he weighed in at 120 his last fight at 122.
he was under 126 his fights at 126.
he always weighed in about 128 at 130 'til the barrera fight.
more money = more food = bigger pac.
wow I can't believe the results to this poll. Making big guys come down is way more demented. Kind of funny though as long as you don't pay to watch the fight.
Why discuss weigh-in weight and ignore what they actually fight at when discussing size , you got that ignoramus disease as well I see !
Obviosly you blinded by your hate and pretended no to see the big size difference. You are worst than swine flu mate and needs to be quarantine together with them.
maybe when he jumped from 112 to 122 and last year from 130.
pacquiao jumped from 122 to 126 to 130 within about 16 months , pull.
122 is about the time pac started making more money hence more food hence more weight
I think Pac only did it once to ODLH, but Pac moved up for that fight, as well and to a real division, while PBF has done it once with Hatton and now is fighting at a catchweight with JMM, so that's twice.
I say PBF is worse. Pacquiao has never fought at a catchweight.
Regardless, a catchweight fight is wrong for the sport, because I think they're taking money from other deserving boxers who fight in true weight classes, especially ones with titles on the line.
Floyd should fight deserving WW's. He has made enough money fighting who he wants to fight, he should at least share some opportunities with other fighters who have great potential but don't have the name to fight him. There are alot of good fighters out there struggling to make decent coin, at least give them a piece of the pie.
I wouldn't mind seeing PBF vs. Shane, PWILL and Cotto.
In the same vein, I hope Manny gives Bradley or Nate a chance at his JW title or he could move up to 147 and challenge either Shane, Cotto or Berto for a WW title.
Pac vs PBF should happen at either 140 or 147, **** the catchweight, it's bad for boxing.
Pacman who started at 106 already widely known for his bravery by moving up in weight 7 times. At 140 he already streched so much his limit. If any welterweight wants to fight him should be in catch weight because at 147 would a be suicide. Obviously at 5'6'' he's too short and have a small body frame if you compare him to them. On fight night, the welterweight will outweight him by at least 10 lbs then you add the reach and height advantages. He has zero whatsoever advantage up there and will gonna be ko silly. Anybody wants him to fight 147 are just wanted him to lost.
I thought Pacquiao is known for jumping in weightclass to accomodate the opponent.
From SuperBantam he jumps 1 weightclass to challenge Barrera at feather.
Jumped from Feather to Superfeather to challenge Morales.
Jumped to Lghtweight to challenge Diaz.
Jumped 2 weightclasses to challenge Oscar.
Jumped to Lt Welter to challenge Hatton.
pac jumps weight classes cause he can't make weight anymore. rite now he's comfy at 140 lbs.
Whats worse is idiots that believe the weight 30hrs before in a dehydrated state is more important than the weight they actually fight at , biggest crime in boxing is IGNORANCE to the sport .
1)Fighter trains to his best fighting weight .
2)72 hrs prior to weighin he is at his best fighting weight.
3) from 72hrs he is beginning to shed fluid to the tune of 10-16 pound over the course depending on the fighter and he then weighs in 30 hrs prior into a much lower weigh class that his natural size could get into .
4) he replaces the fluid he shed to be back at his best fighting weight that he was 72 hrs ago and fights .
5) Now he can compete in a lower weight class but is many pounds above the minimum weight for that class at fight time with a huge advantage over a guy stepping in the ring as say WW which has always been 147 lbs not 160 like Cotto and Mosley step in at how can you dudes ignore this , the 30 hr weigh-in is actually cheating , fighters are ment to be fighting close to their own size within a few pounds or at most from one division limit to the next but the 30hr weighin allows this basic concept of boxing to be abused , WWs should not be able to step into the ring above 147 , MWs not above 160 and not below 154 , that is the core of fighting not this fuked situation where Pac and Floyd who fight in the ring around 147 and Cotto and Mosely fight them weighing 160 + you guys are fuked in the head .
Not you again.
the worse thing is ur old and lame ass repetitive threads ... its gonna be a catchweight fight with the weight to be announced at presser, so stop with all this rumor bullshit
Ahh, I sense a Floyd stan, the force is strong with you little one.
I use to respect some of your threads, floyd stan or not. Yet, as of lately you've been labeled as an idiot due to your posts...
Floyd wants Featherweights to jump up multiple weight divisions to fight him at 147lbs.
