Sugar Ray Robinson Fights For LHW Championship... Weighs 157.5 lbs

You guys are missing the point. The reason why people are pissed isn't that Manny weighed in at 144.6. They're pissed because he forced Margarito at a catchweight of 150. It's true that Sugar Ray Robin weighed 157.5 for a light heavyweight bout but he never had a catchweight dictated in the contract. bullsh*t. No one is complaining about the catchweight today (probably because Margs dwarfs Pac and looks to be in incredible shape... but I'm sure after tomorrow, after he puts on 10-15lbs from rehydrating, we'll be hearing a lot about how drained he was). These clowns are complaining because Pac isn't coming in at 147.0000001 lbs but at WW.

At the post-fight weigh-in, Robinson was weighed in at under the welterweight limit of 147 lbs. Yeah, interesting note- that fight took place in NYC during a record heat wave. The ref collapsed and had to be taken away in a stretcher and replaced, Ray couldn't answer the bell for the final round (15th) because he passed out from heat exhaustion. He was winning big on all scorecards and the heat was the only thing that prevented him from winning the light-heavyweight championship. Both fighters lost 20 lbs in the ring that night! :eek:

Fighting for the Light-Heavyweight belt at 157? History will not be kind to this cheating bum. Disgusting :nonono: http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/3240409.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921F7C3FC3F69D929FDFE4CFFCE2398B041059F2BE7DE5CC034B8D39257F7D4848EE30A760B0D811297 Look at the shock on the face of Champion Joey Maxim, pure disgust. Are you a nuf nuf ,,,,, in Pacs case bending the rules to your advantage is not cheating its good matchmaking , taking PEDS and putting plaster in your gloves is cheating !! I would back Rock Katsidis against Klit at 160 lbs ,,,, does that make Rocky a great fighter ?

your an idiot. ray ray fought for the LHW championship against the BEST GUY at that division and he was 157.5 .... you do the match SON You guys are missing the point.

Stop it guys,this tread is done with this!!But Walter U did forget to tell them that it was the champion he was fighting also!!

Srr didnt pull a ***** move like manny and asked for a catchweight he didnt cheat history. Thats the point, the problem is not him weighing in at 144 but asking for a catchweight...this win dont mean ****.now if it was at 154 and he beat tony at 154 it would mean more...with that said war manny

You're right, Pac's never moved up in weight. your an idiot. ray ray fought for the LHW championship against the BEST GUY at that division and he was 157.5 .... you do the match SON

That's a long way back to find precendence.

^You guys are missing the point. Today, the usual suspects are PMSing about Manny weighing under 147.0000000001. Since they see how much bigger Tony is than Pac and how ridiculously shredded he is, the whole 'drained' thing is so yesterday. Just pointing out how stupid they are for that misguided criticism, not comparing Ray's feats to Pac's (I have Robinson as the absolute clear cut #1 lb 4 lb all time, with no one even close... just my opinion though).

Pac fightin Marg is nothin compared to what Sugar Ray did movin up in weight, nothin against Pac G Dog likes him You're right, Pac's never moved up in weight.

i kno u guys are being sarcastic but the point shouldnt be what Manny weighs but what he forced Margarito to weight. Manny can come in at whatever weight he wants just as long as it isnt over 150. The disgrace comes in when he makes other fighters weigh in list than the Title being contested.
