I get it that he didn't get the ability to fight at 147. But, he knew that. He didn't have to take the fight... He could of stand firm 147 or no fight. Who else was Pac going to fight? I guess Mosley at a catchweight but Roach wasn't even keen on fighting Shane at 140.
Like I said catchweights at 145 have happen before is not "Mannyweight" is just a ridiculous line. He is not the first one to fight at that catchweight and he won't be the last.
That whole line is just ****** IMO... I understand some posters use it cuz they just haters and try to diminish his accomplishments and victories... But, is really a BS line IMO...
and sorry but Cotto agreeing upon it just lends more credence to Cotto being the warrior willing to fight anyone not Manny.
I mean isn't what this is all about? Isn't this why these threads continue on
because Manny fans think Floyd didn't want to fight because of the silly demands?
but isn't it hypocritical to point at Floyd and say those things when Manny does his own share of asking for things outside of what is governed.
what if Cotto said no? Manny would have been in the same boat as Floyd is right?
so why is it so different for Manny to ask for these things and not Mayweather?
BOTH went above what governing and sanctioning bodies outline yet Mayweather is to blame for everything? cmon
and sorry but a welterweight fight stated by the WBO is up to 147. not 145.
page 6 baby

The criticism Pacquiao has recieved for the catchweight thing is probably just a little bit more evident to you because of the internet and your allegiance to Pacquiao.

Hence why they love fighters like Pacman and won't do a damn thing even if he is dirty. Its up to the fighter to protect himself, not some board of old men wanting to see blood dripping from your face in a 15 round duel to the death old school style. Any fighter would agree with that...

Originally posted by No Ceilings View PostIf he didnt have Shane take the tests I would agree that he singled out Pac but he didnt. GBP and Ellerbe have said that every Floyd foight from now on will have OST's.
IMO If Floyd's wanted to clean up the sport he should have said that way before he agreed to fight Pac.
He accused Pac, demanded a test, then said he was doing it for the good of boxing.
It should have been in reverse.
Not an anti-Floyd rant, just think he went about it the wrong way.

Originally posted by S.G. View PostCotto was fine at 145lbs but that's besides the point. I think that particular contract stipulation was brought up to highlight the hypocrisy of a Pacquiao defender slamming Mayweather for "making the rules" or attempting to supercede the commission, when in fact Pacquiao is probably the biggest diva around right now.
whether Cotto was fine or not is moot we agree
in fact I state Cotto is indeed a true warrior
Manny and Floyd not so much
