    isn't this Pacquiao's first catch-weight fight?

      Winky. Was for his ring title, but they didn't want tit at 175, and Pavlik wanted to fight him, but not at the LHW limit.

        Its not really the same as what Floyd and Pac are doing because B-hop was the one who moved down in weight for those fights when he could have taken advantage of all three of those fighters.

          That's real talk right there.
          Tarver was bigger...

          Trinidad previously fought at 160...

          Glen Johnson...

                I disagree... I agree with executioner... Oscar can FORCE Bernard to come down in weight for that kind of money... Winky and Pavlik... no, although Bernard came down... FORCED, is hardly the word I would use.. that was something Bernard was fine with.

                  Well if you said mostly...then your wrong

                  He fought nothing but 160 pounders from 1995 to 2001...

                  Blown up or not he wasn't supposed to beat Tito...definently not as easily as he did either

                      You cant change the fact that Tito is the best MW during that time when Bhop fought him. Hopkins is the underdog in that fight. But when the upset happened, people are saying "Tito is a blown-up WW"
