Do floyd fans understand what a weight-penalty is?

[RubenSonny]

IMO he probably felt the fight at 147 he was swimming in new waters. So yeah, he was a little hesitant if he can be the same fighter at that weight class. But once he beat Cotto, he didn't ask for that catch weight against Clottey cause he knew he was still effective at the weight.

well wasnt de la hoya when he was "swimming in new waters"?

[Jo94403]

I'm speaking in general. You said that he doesn't want ppl to have a huge weight advantage over him, hence the weight penalties? That correct?

He knows that he is the smaller fighter. He doesn't want to have any fighter have a huge weight advantage on him. But now since he had a couple of fights on the higher weight class, then yeah, he won't be asking for no catch weight.

People criticize him for coming up in weight so fast, so then they accuse him on being on PED. It's not PED, it's him just trying to come up and stay at that weight.

you know how your a ***** now? do you go by everything floyd says? for instance that a fighter can't start off ordinary and in his late 20's become extraordinary?

dude not for nothing but all he did was a question of you as well YET you feel the need to talk **** to him rather than the actual topic at hand

stick to the question because the insults all around are getting pathetic to the point now where slurs are being thrown around over this.

Hmm...you're following me around in each thread quoting me. A new fan

It's a contract stipulation.

This^^^^^^^

If it's contractual, commision rules are out!

I think this is what Floyd stans don't get.

I'll ask you again. Did he ask for the weight penalties because he was the smaller fighter?

[Jo94403]

manny wanted 142 or 143 and cotto suggested 145, stop making excuses for manny. the fact is he says he wont do ost because it is not done by the commission yet he makes weight penalties that are not under commission rules, can you just be real and admit it is hypocritical and a bogus excuse?

The OST was not even discussed until Manny mentioned about the 10mil penalty. That's when Floyd asked for the random testing.

Its the same thing with Floyd asking for the extra testing. What's the fuss?

both floyd and pac are hypocritical and both can get away with it against less fighters like delahoya used to because they are the draws. But these two are equal no matter what anyone says, and the fact remains that floyd cheated the weight and the weight penalties is justifiable, pacs has never cheated so he has the right to say no.
