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

[antrob]

When the **** did they give Marg a title? Why?

The terrible WBC is allowing them fight for their vacant Jr. Middleweight title.

It's bad enough that it's cherry picking a title, throw the catchweight on there and it makes it even worse. Come on Pac, you're better then this.[/QUOTE]

No he isnt.
He already fought Cotto at a catchweight.
Already drained Morales to get revenge. And already fought a shot/old/drained version of Oscar.
Dont act as if this **** surprised you, because it certainly didnt surprise me.

Morales was for the 130 title. Morales can't come in higher than 130 as that was the title that they had .... not the 135 title ......

For Oscar, Manny had to come up 2 (1 fight from 3) divisions...... so if both fighters agree and when most people were favoring Oscar to win, then you can't put it against Manny, after the fact.

Cotto is the only one you should stick with .... Manny should have fought that one at 147 instead of 145 but in my opinion, it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome of the fight ..... still 147 would have been better.


So there is just 1 fight (145 instead of 147) but the haters have it seem like he has been doing it throughout his career ..... 1 fight (2lbs - no difference in outcome - agreed by all) and he gets called the "catchweight king" by haters! lol!

Again, we see pacman asking for a catchweight, what kind of b.s. is that? If you are going to fight for a tilte than go into the opponents weight class and fight him. All of pacman 's title were at a catch weight. I was bugging out on Mayweather for not fighting pacman but i am starting to rethink it. Pac is acting like a little girl.

though I am on your side against this catchweight (Margacheto and Pac), you sounds ***** on all Pac's title. Pac only fought one catchweight... please dont hide your ***** account, dont worry, pac fans also against this catchweights.

Pac is making history here guys, now being the only boxer to win 2 Catchweight titles, 1 at 145 vs Cotto and now at 150, he won 6 titles in 6 divisions legit, now he is just a Catchweight champion

Now he's facing his 6 damaged, previously defeated opponent.

i'm not surprised.go to boxrec.com all his opponents were either slow as walking punching bags that make him look faster.weight drained,old,average,or shot fighters.this is the reason why he won't fight bradley or mayweather because they can box and brawl.

Wow, just wow.

I think his point is nobody is fighting for titles at catchweights but Pac. It doesn't matter if Floyd thought Hatton was easy work or if Hatton thought the same. The point is that they didn't make their title fight at a catchweight. If Pac were fighting Margs in a non title fight I don't think anyone would have a prob. The fact that neither one of them has done anything at 154 worth them fighting for a title, plus the fact that it's at a catchweight is what bothers people.

I agreed a long time ago that it should be at 154 but I still don't agree with his logic. If you criticize Manny for trying to get someone to come down 4lbs then you need to question Floyd for taking fights with smaller guys and telling them to come up 7-12lbs ........ some were title fights (Ricky), some were not BUT it favors Floyd ..... but you must not forget that Floyd is also trying to preserve his "0" with these fights so he has been very careful with who he fights.

Both Floyd and Manny are going by the rules but if 150 is not fair, what Floyd did is called what?

Very true. They are definitely following a blueprint but their not slick. Some of us see it.

I understand why they would ask for that but if you don't need an advantage to win why go that route. I guess I don't care that much about the fight anyways but it is always greater to go beat a guy at their own healthy weight than to drag them down~

.

This fight needs all the help it can get it does not need any extra negatives no matter how small they may seem in teh grand scheme of things.

I hope HBO doesn't show the fight!
