Pac and Cotto agreed to fight at 145 was a catchweight.
Floyd and JMM agreed to fight at 144 is not a catchweight? The difference, Floyd came overweight last minute of the fight and JMM theres nothing he can do. Double standard?Comment

when DLH wanted cotto, was it gonna be at a WW catchweight? DLH wanted to go down to WW to fight cotto. marg won, so DLH went for pacquiao at WW
mayweather/marquez was at a catchweight too. shame on floyd for being irresponsible coming in at 146Comment

They were both catchweights, though technically 147 is not a catchweight and 144 is. However Floyd/JMM is worst than Pac/Oscar, why? Because, even though Oscar did come down from 154 to 147, Manny was coming up from 135 to 147. No one new he would be so good at 147, at the time he had only one lightweight fight. Floyd on the other hand made a catchweight fight with a lightweight and then didn't make weight for the fight. In my opinion it was pretty gutless fighting JMM, and much more gutless making the fight at 144 and then getting on the scales at 146.Comment

there is an old article in one of the old issues of the ring mag that show oscar and floyd senior after one of oscars fights and it says oscar could never make ww again and this was about 7 years agoOscar was planning to go to 147 before he even faced Pac. I think it was a year before he even faced Pac that he said he was going down to WW. And, he was in the cover of the ring and it was titles svelter welter or something like that. He fought Forbes at a catchweight of 150 just cuz he was making the transition to go to 147.
Floyd-JMM was at a catchweight of 144 and Floyd had to pay 300k for every pound over. It was a catchweight fightComment

Cosign. I hope the *****s will keep their mouth shut now about this Pac's catchweight thing. Shameless Floyd did the worst catchweight in boxing history. Can you imagine? He forced one old lightweight to come up at 144 then cheated him by coming at 146 and just paid the fine.

How was Pac-Oscar a catchweight? It was a WW fight. And Floyd-JMM was supposed to be a catcthweight but ended up being full blown WW too.Comment

when manny made cotto fight at 145 everyone said it wasn't a big deal because when miguel fought clottey he weighed 146 at the weigh in and everyone would say whats 1 or 2 pounds does it make that much of a difference but floyd came 2 pounds overweight against marquez who wanted to fight floyd because manny didn't want to give him a rematchComment
