He may have come up from 140 but he had to weigh in twice for pac. He's a tall guy for 147 and definitely 140.
Weight issues can affect chins, so the 6 kd even though some were suspect shouldn't have been an indicator that he was a bum.
He's decent.
Making a 147 fighter come down to 144 is one thing.
Allowing a 140 fighter to fight at 144 is another.
/Thread.
thank you. it's truly cringe worthy how many super duper "hardcore boxing fans" use this website on a daily basis and still don't know sh1t about boxing. And then you have to consider Algieri was weighing opponents for his return at 140 and 147 and said he'd have no problem coming back to 140.
No, just shows that Algeiri fought at 140 and only fought higher because it was Pac, Algeiri even stated he had no intention of moving up yet but for the Pac fight of course you would...
REBORN;15741406']Almost forgot that fight was at a CW. Broner is taking more heat for his 144 lb catchweight than Pac did. Pathetic.
Different scenarios. Algieri was coming up from 140. pacquiao was coming down from 147. Catchweight was really intended to help Algieri. Not to drain him.

two totally different situations.
Chris Algieri fought his whole career below 144lb, the catchweight shouldnt have made any difference to him.
Shawn Porter fought in the amateur as a middleweight, in his debut he weighed 165 pounds, in his first 16 fights he fought between 154-160 pounds. Now he has to go 3 pounds south of the welterweight limit.
Can you see the difference? sheesh
So hypothetically, if pacquiao makes a catchweight with terrance crawford at 144 pounds - makes no difference. if pacquiao makes a catchweight with kell brook at 144 pounds - brook will probably be drained
idiot
