Its just One Pound. Mayweather was at 146 vs Marquez.
You all said Mayweathers isn't a real Welter Weight.
for all of you It was O.k for Cotto to lose just one Pound, but not Mayweather. Now you want to call the fight off for one pound. :confused:
Fans here like to contradict themselves just to win an argument.
Rofl, I love how the Pacgots try to argue that it's only one pound, it's no big deal...if it's no big deal, then why the hell is roach demanding it? Why is it even an issue? Just fight at 147, and drop these stupid catchweights.
Confidence in Floyd?
I don't even like Floyd.
The fight is a toss up for me.
But Pacquiao's a big boy now, we saw what he can do at WW.
What can he do? Anyone would've pick that De La Hoya apart he was slow too damn slow. Pacquiao would've weigh-in 150 and he be still too fast for him.
He fought Hatton at 140 so that doesn't count.
That leaves only Cotto who was 146 and came at 145. So Pacquiao fought at 145 fighter and is asking another 146 guy to make weight. A fighter like Floyd that cheated making weight vs Marquez. So its fair.
But why didn't Mayweather make the weight against Marquez?
If You can't trust Floyd coming bigger, he might as well ask him to come down just one pound. Manny on the other hand needs the speed. His speed is much needed vs Mayweather. Manny manage to beat Oscar, but Oscar is too slow. he was old. Hatton fight was at 140. And Cotto moved down and was already tired by the 6th round.
No Mannys speed is key for him. He has only fought two guys above 140. Slow old Oscar and 6 round Cotto. Two pounds against Mayweather mean more to him than for Floyd.
cant answer your first question. all we can do is speculate as to why he didnt make weight. im not gonna make any excuses for floyd. he shoulda made the weight. but marquez wasnt beating floyd at 145 either.
as for the cotto fight, pacman proved he was able to take a welterweight punch. i think its clear mayweather isnt going to knock him out at 145 or 147. pacman can still come in at 144 and keep his power and speed while mayweather comes in at 146-147 at his best. i could see if floyd was a major power puncher but thats not the case here.
Don't you have confidence in Floyd. Wasn't Floyd going to fight Marquez at 144 and came at 146.

No, but it's some bullshit.
Roach needs to have some confidence in Pacquiao.
They need to fight at 147.

doubt it. but why does 2 pounds off the welterweight limit such a big deal to freddi? his fighter just showed he can hang in there with a true welterweight. does he really thing 1 or 2 pounds in this fight is the difference between a pacquiao win or loss?

this thread is worthless...if you for one second think the LORD will bow down too any of PACS WISHES u are sadly mistaken....pac should be lucky he isnt back in the tin huts off manilla eating dirt...it is an honor too be beatin by mayweather an honor ill sadly never get to recieve
wtf?????!!
this 1-2 pound difference doesnt make a difference all the time. it surely didnt make a difference lsat saturday. if your fighting for a title at 147 then the fight should automatically be at 147. not a stupid catchweight.
At some point one pound is going to make a difference otherwise fighters wouldn't be so meticulous with these catchweights like 139.5 Malignaggi vs Diaz, etc

1 lbs isn't gonna do nothing
Obviously it affects a fighter that's why Freddie Roach wants all these fighters to drop from their original weight. He did it with Cotto for a reason and he'll TRY to do it to Mayweather for a reason. If it was no big deal then he wouldnt ask these fighters to drop from their original weight.
Indeed ~~~~
