    Question about Pacman and his catchweight ideals

    Why does Pacman insist on catchweight?

    He was willingly to fight Oscar at 147 yet he does not want that against Cotto.

    For example PBF/Oscar. Floyd weighed in 150 while Oscar was 154. 4 pounds difference in weigh in means nothing. Why doesn’t Pacman weigh in at 143 as he wants and allows Cotto to weigh in at 147?


    Pacman weigh in 142 against Oscar weigh in 146

        Floyd and Manny weigh the same 148 pounds on fight night.

        The diffrence is..Floyd was at 147...Manny was at 140 pounds.

        Now you tell me whos sMall for WW?

          pac's last fight was 135 before oscar who's last fight was at 154. now pac had to go up 2 divisions, oscar went down one. fair or not? and pac didnt come in as a legit WW in that fight. he weighed only 142, well below the limit. hell he could easily have shed those 2 lbs to be a jww but he needed the bulk for that fight.

          and he came in 138 AFTER breakfast for a 140 fight w/ hatton.

            Because they knew they were going to fight a drained oscar now they want to fight a drained cotto so they could have an advantage

                Then why is he going after welterweights? Why not stay at jr.welter and fight Bradley, Campbell etc,???

                Otherwise move up and fight the welters at their natural weight unstead of forcing them to drain themselves.

                  if cotto agrees to fight pac under 147 does it guarantee 100% win for pac?
                  alot of posters here underestimates cotto. it would'nt be competitive if its under 147 ?

                  147lbs = cotto a beast...
                  below 147lbs = dried up scarecrow...


                  ODLH case is totally different..
                  t'was oscars fault with what happened
