H.Amrstrong,T.Norris,DLH,SRL,RJJ: Were all in catchweight, so why is it lame for Pac

Once or twice would be fine but not if you use a catchweight nearly every time!!!

and floyd fighting marquez @ a cw does not mean shit? get your double stand shit outa here What title was that fight for?

The people that are slating Pacman for fighting Margarito at catchweight on this site are jealous Mayweather fans. If Floyd was doing it they wouldn't say a thing. Ummmm, is there anybody in Pac fans opinion that questions Pac thats not a Mayweather fan?

The last time the top 2 P4P fighters fought, wasn't it at a catchweight? I'm reffering to Chavez vs. Whitaker. So??? You want us to critise a fight that happen over 20 years ago? Am sure 20 years from now no one would critise or talk about Pac-Margarito. Again bringing in fights that happen years ago doesnt change anything, Title fights should be title fights, dont try to manipulate the weighs then claim you won titles in 7 or 8 weighs like henry armstrong. Am happy for Pac to win titles in 20 weigh classes but do it the right way, He taint the 147 title by restricting Cotto and he would be doing the same here if he restrict Margarito to 150...

basically cos its for a 'vacant' title with 2 guys thats not even ranked in the 154 divi

Yes they had catchweights but there were reasons for that. De La Hoya had a catchweight fight with Hopkins because Oscar wasnt a natural MW. That was just one fight. Pacquiao has had his best wins and title wins at catchweights. How in hell can you call yourself the best when you fight people coming off KO losses at catchweights for vacant belts? Pacquiao is a catchweight king/fraud. Mayweather is the real p4p king.

If Floyd was doing it they wouldn't say a thing. floyd doesnt do that stuff....only time when a catchweight is acceptable for a title fight is when a fighter is moving up 2 weight divisions so when pac wants a catchweight of 158 with martinez, then get back to me

When two fighters wants to fight each other in a catchweight, why not let them fight. Armstrong had to fight 7 pounds lighter, Terry Norris vs Meldrick Taylor was at 150... I want your opinion, not some lame insults. Armstrong was a long time ago man. Fighters went through a lot more shit back then than they do today. It was hard for african american fighters to get fights so if something came across the table it had to be taken. Norris was always coming in under weight. Look at his record. Most of his fights he weighed in at 150-152. Fyi, the weight on the left of the opponent name on boxrec is the weight of the fighter page your looking at. cause manny is doing it soely to collect titles Absolutely correct. If it wasn't obvious the first time, it sure is now.

Yes I don't agree for catchweights in title fights, but both fighters won't be in a disadvantage here, Tony is a natural big WW that comes in at fight night weighing somewhere in the 160pounder, so if he starts at 150lbs already in the weigh in he'll probably tip the scale at around 165lbs come fight night. While manny on the other hand will still go for a WW limit and might weigh in at around 145lbs and come in at fight night at 148-150lbs so he doesn't compromise his speed.. Tony will still have that weight advantage over manny no matter what..

Pac winning the 8 division belt will make the flomos whining and butthurt because floyd will be too far behind with pac with only 5 belt division championship belt. Sorry flomos floyd is not really that good that u think of him he was just too good to select his opponent to keep his undefeated record.

They are just jealous mayweather fans and pacquiao haters if it was floyd who is fighting for catchweight even cheating his opponents in the scale they would still praise floyd and said that it was just fine for floyd because he is floyd.

I had no problem with Pac fighting Cotto for the WBO title at 145. None whatsoever. Anybody who had a problem with that fight are Cotto nuthuggers and Pac haters. Those fools wouldn't/didn't careless When Chavez-Whitaker was for the WW title at the same catch-weight of 145. Same damn fans didn't care when Oscar fought Hopkins at a catch-weight for the MW title. They didn't give neither one of those fighter the hard time they give Pac. So that IMO is bullshit. However, I have no problem with Pac-Margarito being at 150. The issue is that it shouldn't be for a title. That is where the problem lies. Neither fighter should be rank high enough at 154 to be fighting for a vacant title. Whoever, wins this fight either Pac or Margarito should not calling themselves champions after this fight. Is a bogus title. I would not consider neither one of them champions I really wished that Martinez would of giving up the WBC 160 pound title and kept the 154 pound title. So this bullshit would not have happen. And, TS name fighters mainly Henry Armstrong and a couple others. i don't know if you just boxrec them or what. But, just cuz two fighters don't come in the limit doesn't make it a catch-weight fight. Both, Marg and P-Will came in to fight at 145. But, that doesn't mean that the fight was a catch-weight fight of 145. The limit was 147 both just so happen to come in at 145. Armstrong didn't really fight as many catch-weights as the TS claims. I had a big problem with all of those fights because they were title fights. A title fight should not be fought at a catchweight. And I don't care who's involved.

What ? This thread is shit. Prove it, dipshit !:twak:

Eat crow FLOMOS!

This thread is shit.

Your were doing good... and what's the thing about internet and boxing ? :thinking: while there have been forums since the start of the BBS/WWW era, forums focused strictly on boxing were mostly restricted to combination message boards that had like racing/horse betting etc. Actual forums dedicated to boxing were few and far in between and they werent that populated. Boxing media on the internet also wasnt very credible at all.

Nice rebuttal. :twak: thanks just calling you out on your bull$hite way of thinking nutthuger :bottle:

in my opionion Manny's team maybe want to see how he would do above welterweight and would fight in the 154 lbs if ever Manny can take punches and be competitive. atleast give him a credit for fighting bigger guys and looking for a good fight and better pay day.
