Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Cotto II Would Be at a Catch-Weight, Says Koncz

[THE REED]

yes mosley would have done it if that is what it took but it was not mosely trying to offer them weights..mosely was agreeing to their weights and when he agreed they would offer lower weights so that was moselys way of saying look i want this fight and there is nothing ya can say except no to turn me away..and thats when pac said no.

Right... so like I said 3 pages ago.

Shane offered to fight Pac at 140lbs.

[BadBrains]

Stop with the insults

Facts are he fought forbes at 150 and had to go down 3 pounds to a weight he fought before and said he was fine with

Pac had 1 fight at 135 and went striaght to 147 from there an 11 pound increase.

Sounds fair to me, DLH ad to go down 3 pounds while Manny went up 11. after only 1 fight at 135. So it was pretty much a 130 fighter going to 147

Do you really expect Pac to go up 19 pounds between 2 fights into DLH best weight? How is it fair having a guy come in bloated in another fighters perfect weight?

you mean 12 pounds not 11

Pacquiao once fought at 108. You have no ****ing point, ******.

so ****ing what stop making excuses for him..it dont matter what weight class he came from you ****** ****...that dont mean he has to disrespect an entire weight division by asking the belt holder to come down in weight. if he cant make the weight come in at whatever weight he is comfortable in but dont make someone who fought and beat someone at that weight come in at a lower weight so that you can have an advantage over them...

but enough of you, i have no point cause its something negative about pac and you would trade your mother in for a pair of his socks...**** off

Take it to the thunderdome.

The answer should be obvious. Pac's fought a couple of months earlier was at 140, he weighed in at 138. The original catch weight was suppose to be at 143, but they both agreed to 145. Boxers need to build gradually to the next weight class.
When they realized brought his weight up nicely, they realized 147 was no problem, hence they fought Clottey who ARGUABLY beat Cotto the fight before.

So,with your theory of "Manny is not cherry-picking", I may add that he had no problem fighting Oscar at 147....why is that???? Was it because they knew Manny could make that weight,or was it because they knew Oscar also wouldn't have a chance,let alone at that weight?

[Ryannn]

its not the catchweight that pisses me off..

its the fact that he may face cotto again. cotto is gonna get his ass kicked regardless of the weight.

pointless fight.

Pacquiao needs to repalce that Koncz! he is an idiot!

[GodInFleshSuit]

I like Pac and all, but really if you want to keep fighting these bigger fighters at higher weight classes,then make the damn weight division limit. Especially if a title is at stake. No title at stake, then catch weight away! If not then just stay at a comfortable weight class or how about "you" try taking the risk Manny and drain yourself down a division or two.
PS..
Marg has no business in the ring w/ Pac. He got caught cheating so he doesn't deserve that huge payday and that title shot! Fight JMM, Mayweather, clean-up the LW/JR Welt divisions, or just retire. You've got nothing left to prove beside that whole JMM controversy.

you mean 12 pounds not 11
