Oscar-Pac: 147 Is A Catchweight, Dont Get It Twisted

[M.I.C.]

Forcing a natural JM to move down in weight while the smaller man moves up is the jist of catchweights. It matters less that they met at welter, to force Oscar to 147 was the catch. Accept truth.

and people still thought it was a mismatch in favor of Oscar.

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

you know dlh challenged manny right.

[Mickey Gomez]

This is so 2008. Accept that.

After everything was said and done, I feel DLH toward the end of his career was looking for his biggest money fights to close the deal.

Oscar is the one who wanted it at 147. People are ******.

[M.I.C.]

This is simply for those who say Pac has only fought Cotto at a catchweight. False, Oscar nor Pac where natural welters at the time, that's the hallmark of catchweight. Big man move down small move up

How did Manny force Oscar to do anything? Oscar moved down to make it seem more of a fair match and and at that point in time, Manny was in no position to demand or force anyone to do anything, especially against De La Hoya.

In all fairness before the Pac fight, DLH was claiming he was walking around at 147 and felt great. Not to mention that's the weight DLH chose, you know damn well that if DLH said let's fight at 150+ Pac would have still gone through with it, but it would have been a different fight indeed.

Well ur wrong,Oscar was one his way back down to welterweight,I'm not sure but I believe the fight with Forbes was contracted at 150.But the Oscar-Pacman fight was at 147,Oscar just was ****** about it & came in at 143 or some ****** **** like that,eating kangaroo meat & **** & basically got a severe beating for his trouble!!147 is not a catchweight of anything don't kid urself!!
