You didn't answer the question...was Manny justified in putting his OWN weight penalties against guys that never missed weight? Yes or no?

i dont remember Morales having a weight penalty

But Cotto, yea it was justified because it was a 145 catchweight and Cotto would only be penalized by the Commision if he weighed over 147. So without that penalty Cotto would have nothing stopping him from weighing 147

Oh please im sure Floyd has had a penalty against his fighters too. So its only wrong because he contradicts himself?

What makes you think that Floyd has done this as well?

which fighters were these? and thats not the point anyway and yes its wrong because mannys excuse was that he only follows commission rules when he clearly doesnt, it is as simple as that, dont you get it?

I'm telling you that he did...was that justified? And Cotto had NEVER missed weight..why impose an extra penalty on the man?

Show me something that says he had a weight penalty on Morales because i am completely unaware of it

Answering a question with a question I see.

You didn't ask a question. Check your post. You don't even know what you are typing anymore.

I never heard the demand for ring size before, but id like to see a link.

but Manny "demanding" punchers gloves is ****in hilarious, considering he's "demanding" the same gloves he's always worn his entire career. Was he out of line in asking for the same gloves he's always worn....And, floyd always wears 8oz gloves. I dont see the problem


Also, was floyd also planning in coming in overweight?

Floyd to my knowledge wears 10oz gloves not 8oz, the last time i recall him in that size gloves was sometime before the de la hoya fight. Welterweight fights are suppose to be fought with 10oz gloves, they only use 8oz gloves if both fighters agree. Point being, mayweather wanted to fight, so he didn't mind giving manny what he wanted.

Weight penalties are only enforced for fighters that CHEAT. It's simple, you don't CHEAT.. there is no issue.
