Pacquiao will go down in history as the king of Catchweights

More than anyone in history huh? After JMM, he'll have had as many catchweights as Arturo Gatti, Bernard Hopkins and Micky Ward had. But hey whatever makes you feel better at night Lol also hasn't Saul Alvarez been in like 3 catchweight fights? And there is talks of him possibly fighting Chavez Jr at another catchweight! And he is only 21 so imagine how many catchweight fights he'll probably fight by the time he reitres.

no one in history has fought in more catchweights bouts than this guy does he really need the advantage? or maybe he just likes to use his superior drawing power to bully his opponents into giving him whatever advantage he can get I guess you never heard of Sugar Ray Leonard. Whatever man. You live in your fantasy.

If that's the case, then JMM has the advantage over Manny with the 144 catchweight... I mean it's Manny's 147 title and he is dropping down to 144 to defend it. for the first time, manny is the "bigger" guy (although they are the same size)... yet people are already lining up the hypocrisy. haters' logic gets twisted every time. although this fight is a bit late, i hope it will be exciting... i want to trust in jmm's heart & determination... i was REALLY let down by seeing shane run (cotto & margs put up a better effort).

i have mixed feelings about the catchweights. so people have beef with the 3 CW fights??? • cotto @145 = it was definitely a strategic move, but WITHIN the weight limit... i honestly think since it was for a title, it SHOULDVE been no CW. but money talks, and cotto got paid very well for losing 2lbs. even if he had those 2lbs, the outcome would have been the same. he clearly got outboxed. • margs @150 = abomination of an "8th division" title... pac did margs a favor of fighting him @ 150 instead of 147. pac/arum bought that title. plain and simple. but i actually liked the matchup... regardless of whether margs was deserving or not. • jmm @ 144 = do people actually expect pac to drop down to 135 & give jmm a payday????? i mean, pac is giving jmm the same treatment floyd did... you cant fault one without faulting the other. its hard to blame pac when jmm was ASKING for this bout... pac ignoring jmm equated him ducking the man who supposedly "beat pac twice". so arum/pac is appeasing those critics.... too little, too late, IMO... but it should be an exciting fight. BOTH fighters dont mind getting hit. honestly, people are too caught up with this stuff... i bet you that if donaire and gamboa signed up for a catchweight a year from now, NOBODY would be complaining.... or a catchweight sergio vs ward.... so i dont beef with CW if it enables us to see great matchups... but i beef CW fights if titles are involved...

No one will talk about catchweights while talking about Pac 20 years from now When talking about Floyd Mayweather, however, people will talk about how he avoided Pacquiao if he doesnt fight him. truth. catchweight conversation is for DIE HARD boxing fans and Pac haters only. So enjoy it guys while you can here on the internets

he should fight martinez at 154 or 160 if martinez can't make 154.

How is coming down to 150 an advantage for Margarito if they were fighting for a 154lb title? You pactards are retarded. If that's the case, then JMM has the advantage over Manny with the 144 catchweight... I mean it's Manny's 147 title and he is dropping down to 144 to defend it.

How is coming down to 150 an advantage for Margarito if they were fighting for a 154lb title? You pactards are retarded. you act like it was marg's title. if pac wasn't involved the crooked org wouldn't have put up one of their worthless belts. you think fighting at 150 instead of 147 is not an advantage for marg? pac was what 145 at the weigh in? :lol1:

the cherry picking catch weight king who didn't take the test !!!!!!

How is coming down to 150 an advantage for Margarito if they were fighting for a 154lb title? You pactards are retarded. Because if it wasnt for the title it would be at 147:booty:

no one in history has fought in more catchweights bouts than this guy does he really need the advantage? or maybe he just likes to use his superior drawing power to bully his opponents into giving him whatever advantage he can get Theres a Irish looking Mexican who has fought in more catchweight fights, and against overmatched smaller men, he won his title at a catchweight too!!!

How is coming down to 150 an advantage for Margarito if they were fighting for a 154lb title? You pactards are retarded.

Nah it will be Canelo He is on a roll

More than anyone in history huh? After JMM, he'll have had as many catchweights as Arturo Gatti, Bernard Hopkins and Micky Ward had. But hey whatever makes you feel better at night lol...............

The catchweight with Margarito is irrelevant, it was a worthless fight to begin with.

Pac is a great fighter and an all time great BUT all these catch weights do make me think.............is he really as great as they say he is if he needs to do this? only 1 of the catchweights was actually to give him some kind of advantage. and even then cotto was only going down 1 lb. from his last fight. take what you want into how much that 1 lb. helped. the 150 catchweight was helpful for marg. he didn't have to come down to 147 and he looked in fantastic shape. this current one with jmm is worthless. it's more propaganda to make it look like he's giving jmm some kind of advantage but pac is not really losing much going down to 144.

Three is the most for any fighter in history. So you would have been happier if he had fought Margo and JMM at 147?

i agree. he should fight jmm at 147. no catchweight needed. this is so true hehe, anyway this is the 3rd he should shoot for 4 versus one of the Klitchkos ... LOLZ

catchweights gives pac haters and critics ammunition to critcise Pac, but most dont think it effects the outcome in anyway. Clottey didnt do to well did he, or hatton?

no one in history has fought in more catchweights bouts than this guy does he really need the advantage? or maybe he just likes to use his superior drawing power to bully his opponents into giving him whatever advantage he can get lemme guess.. you're mexican right?
