Do you also dislike fighters re hydrating to over the limit as has become the custom? If its not ok for a fight to be made at 145lbs for a 147 title fight Why is it ok for a fighter to rehydrate well over that limit? If they weigh 155 the night they win the 147 lbs title should they really be considered the 147 lbs champ? How is this any different than coming in a couple pounds under the limit?
Well that sounds like that would be the result of fighters trying to fight in a weight division in which they could not properly make the weight. If you can't make the weight in a healthy fashion you shouldn't be trying to campaign at that weight.
Has anyone been doing any research into how many injuries could be caused by fighting someone who outweighs you by more than 10 lbs come fight night?
It seems like there should be more emphasis placed on fighters re-hydrating if they are truly worried about fighter safety.
But then guys like Miguel Cotto would be expected to fight at middle and super middleweight at 5'7" that's not great news for him
I wish they had never changed the system from weighing in about 8 hours before the fight to weighing in about 32 hours before the fight. But that is the system we have so if a fighter makes weight and comes into the ring weighing 15 pounds more than they did at the weigh in they have done nothing wrong. They are playing by the rules we have today. I have no problem with two fighters agreeing to a catchweight as long as no title is at stake. If a fight is for a world title I think the fighters should be able to come in at the top weight for that weight class.
Mayweather isn't getting KO'd by even anyone at 135 he can be a corpse and the bums down there would only SD him.
He couldn't go 12 rounds at 135, you kidding? You're right, he'd be tough to hit clean even then, but you'd just need to tap him and he'd be falling down and chicken dancing trying to get up. The ref would have to stop it for his own safety. That's, if he ever got past the steps and ring ropes on the way in.
lol, so u didnt make it seem as if what he did was somehow better???
LOL, you'll never find anywhere where I defended a SRL catchweight. You quoted and claimed that. Twas a lie, period.
Don't change tunes now bro. The fact is I've never defended Ray and catchweights and that's that. You won't find it cause it never happened.

I'm with you on that one. Except for maybe one thing: did Ray launch a smear campaign against a rival over CW usage? Nobody really likes a CW, but even less a hypocrite
never said floyd wasnt a hypocrite. in fact ive said he was numerous times. kinda not what im pointing out
somehow u distinguish between him and floyd on this when there is no difference.

I'm not a Ray fan. But please show me where I've defended him and catchweights.
Damn, SRL on dat save a hoe campaign huh. Floyd is lame and that's dat. Besides Ray is lying his a$$ off. He's never done anything compatible. Sure the Lalonde thing was lame, however he never competed at lightheavy before that farce. Unlike Floyd who's a 2 time jr middleweight champ. somehow u distinguish between him and floyd on this when there is no difference.
Told you guys in the lounge thread that HeroBando has completely lost it over the past 7 months :rofl:
His world collapsed and he's standing on the rubble declaring it the greatest.
the dreaded pacquiodonaire withdrawl syndrome. Yeah, I hear there working on a cure for that. SHould be out late fall/ early winter 2013. but you may have to go to china to get it.
I'm just having fun man. It shouldn't bother you so much unless you have a lot invested in this guy, emotionally
it doesnt bother me, i just thought u were a better poster than that. whether ppl like floyd or manny doesnt matter to me. both are great fighters, but their die hard fans are something else.
Ok let's say ur not a fan, but u have defended his catch weights in previous threads. Simple question, did his catchweights in title fights bother u? Did they mean he was a fraud?

Of course I mean this. Moving up is hard, and risky. Floyd will subject himself to eternal CW ridicule for 2 measly lbs, 1 division above his best division (his 4th, where JMM can hang at full weight), too much if full sized, near prime. Floyd knows
seriously, you are taking up for manny against floyd and all his fans because he and they have taken shots at manny in the past. thats pretty ****ing crazy.
now i understand why you react to every manny criticism. you know its not personal, right?
ok I see your just playing.
Welterweight isn't Mayweather's best division. Not close. 130/135 he was his best.
It's his best weight right now. I got Matt KO May at 140 easy, for example (usual 10m/lb overweight penalty). And all kinds of bums would be taking advantage of him at 135.
So the best fighter in the world will trade long lasting ridicule for 2lbs, 1 division above his best weight. Floyd knows
my guy??? lol. smh pathetic. u have officially reached full stan mode.
I'm just having fun man. It shouldn't bother you so much unless you have a lot invested in this guy, emotionally
A lot better look for me right now than for those looking for excuses for Floyd :lol1: My guy didn't spend 3 years sh1tting on yours for this
my guy??? lol. smh pathetic. u have officially reached full stan mode.
this post reads like you're mad simply because people are pointing this out about manny and that the only reason you are doing it to floyd is to get back at them.
please tell me you don't mean this.
