Koncz: Manny Pacquiao to Fight Joshua Clottey at 144 Catchweight

[crillz]

I'm very disappointed if this is true, Manny has always been a class act but this recent habit of him to call out Floyd for **** that he himself is doing is bull****. why is it okay for Manny to bring bigger guys down in weight and it's not okay for Floyd to bring smaller fighters up? this is wrong. this BETTER be false man Micheal Koncz is a useless instigator anyway, Freddie Roach said it himself the guy is no good so **** him and his opinion, I'd be disappointed but I ain't going to believe Pacquiao is pulling this horse**** on Clottey unless BOTH Arum and Roach say so..

I think Pacquiao has too much honor, you can't win a title at a catchweight and make your 1st defense at catchweight too, that would be just bull****..

[Easy-E]

lol...really?
I hope not, that would be some serious bull****.
Arum and Roach say one thing, Koncz says another...
no wonder no one can trust anything that comes out of Manny's camp.

Why doesnt Pacquiao just fight at one of the already establish weight divisions in boxing instead creating his own divisions, who does he think he is the commissioner of boxing?

On january 1, an article comes out from Roach saying that Pac is going to fight Marquez. Then a few days later, they are fighting Clottey.

...and this is after they spent much of December saying they would fight Malignaggi. Remember how the PM fight was "almost done"?

There's just so much conflicting information. You can't ever get the truth.

Ray,

Ask yourself: where would Koncz get the "144" number? Did he just make that up on the spot? Why - of all numbers - would he pick that one? Why wouldn't he say 145, which is where Pac fought Cotto.

Koncz said 144 because they talked about it. He didn't pull it out of his butt.

Thats why i said i would wait and see what happens in the next, Team Pac have lied so much in the last month or so, So i would wait till a hear the same word from them, Not roach saying 147 then 144 later...I still havent forgot the "We would do any test whatsoever and pass it with flying colours" from Roach only to come out with 10 or so different excuse on why they cant be tested.

144 is WELTERWEIGHT.

[Silky-Flow]

144 is WELTERWEIGHT.

No it's called "Mannyweight" now!!

[crillz]

144 is WELTERWEIGHT.

you misunderstand, when 144 is THE LIMIT then it IS NOT Welterweight. the LIMIT HAS TO BE 147 not 144 to be a Welterweight bout, this is not to say both fighters MUST come in at 147 but if 144 is the WEIGHT LIMIT then it is NOT a Welterweight bout because in ANY Welterweight bout THE LIMIT is 147, not 146, not 145, not 144 etc...

Manny brought the limit down from 147 to 145 against Cotto, that is no longer a Welterweight bout because the limit was tampered with therefore that sabotages his whole "accomplishment", and if the whole 144 catchweight clause is true then they about to do Clottey a lot worse than they did Cotto

144??!!? if this is true that would be dumb. I was hoping this fight would take place at 147. I truly hope Clottey gives him a good fight.
