He is most definitely not a catch weight king.
Why is Manny Pacquiao being called the catch weight king. If:
1.] This bout against Miguel Cotto is his very first catch weight fight that was called up by his team. He had to go up one division higher from JWW.
2.] He had to gain 5 pounds while Miguel Cotto only has to lose 2 pounds off his natural weight.
3.] De La Hoya's idea of fighting Manny was absurd. He only had to drop to 1 weight division from where he was. It was all De La Hoya's idea to fight a smaller Manny Pacquiao who came from 2 divisions lower (130), wherein he could have fought Miguel Cotto instead.
4.] Floyd also fought JMM at 144 supposedly, but he came in more than the weight asked of him.
5.] Boxing has weight divisions for a reason. This fight was only dreamt off on the fantasy leagues and people were calling it impossible before the De La Hoya vs Pac bout.
6.] Miguel Cotto has fought at 147 for a very long time wherein this is the first time Pacquiao will fight a true Welterweight.
