Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito: Manny To Demand 150-Pound Weight

[Ekscape]

Margarito hasn't done much lately or at 154, but Pacquiao-Margarito is going to be for a vacant Junior Middleweight title at a catchweight.

Margarito can't make 147 anymore; he even said going into the Mosley fight that he was having a very hard time making 147, so coming off a two year hiatus I bet you he would be wayyyy drained trying to make 147, and 150 is gonna be a reach as well... but who am i to complain I'm not ordering that fkn fight anyways... I'm not ordering any Manny or Floyd fights anymore until they fight each other... (with the exception of if they fight Bradley)

Co-sign. Maybe you should suggest that video to Team Pac so they can see how it's really done.

Floyd did that with Oscar...no catch weight. He barely made 150 and Oscar came in 160+.

what a joke manny is.

- the vacant wbc title on the line, and neither fighter has done jack **** at 154

- on top of that it's at a catchweight of 150 pounds

- and on top of that it's against a proven cheater who is past prime anyway(and margarito wasn't even that good to begin with)

[Devils Advocate]

and there are better fighters at 147 than JMM and Ricky Hatton....smh..................................... .........

BTW its his first fight above 147....

Floyd fought Sharmba Mitchell of all ppl in his first fight at 147...lmao..how long you been watchign boxing?

Mitchell was way past his prime and was just destroyed by Kostya at 140. The guys is like 5'6...LOL... Floyd fought someone SMALLER then him in his move up to WW. lol

At Top Rank all roads lead to Manny Pacquiao and their fighters are willing to die for glory or shall we say millions. Pacquiao is going to destroy Margarito with that southpaw stance, speed and catchweight he doesn't have a chance.

I'd give Margarito some serious props if put his foot down and refused, but he won't and he's gonna come in looking like Oscar De La Hoya with a MULLET!!!!

Has Mayweather EVER asked for a catchweight?

No, he tells his smaller opponents to come fight him at his weight of 147 ..... Hatton (140 champ) and Marquez (135 champ) (was a catchweight)

Hatton had already fought at 147 before and he was challenging Floyd for the 147 belt and he wasn't a ***** to ask Floyd for a catchweight... Marquez on the other hand it is what it is he wanted to fight the best since Manny didn't want the trilogy and he got what he asked for

[jtiger78]

i guess bringing up mayweather is pacs fans way out?

[PeterinMI]

What a *****!!!!!!!!!!! This fight should not happen, The title should not be on the line, if it is a BS catchweight! 150 is closer to WW then JMW,
this bull****!
Manny does not deserve this, Catchweights are okay, but not for World title fights!!!
What a *****!!!

Catchweight king!

Does it even need to be said? This fight just went from a joke to a bad parody of a joke.

1. In house fight- again
2. Catch weight - again
3. Another weight division hallow title, i.e. Not against the remote best in weight class - again
4. Tailor made opponent- again

How pitiful and unappealing.

[superchile]

blah blah

here w go freddy roach is at it again whit he catch weights but contrary to most i belived this better for margo who is a slow fighter but at 154 is a litle more slower than usualy im sure margo has no problem making 150

[thechampishere]

**** cotto! that fight woulda been even ******er than this one, how about fighting a legit threat?

I never said it would be better, just a reason why that fight might have had NOT happend.
