      It's on the front page of his Boxrec stats as well.

      If you need more "proof" then that, the fact that both men weighed just a shade under 140 for the welterweight, I will dig for more proof. However, I think I've already proven conclusively that Hank fought title fights at catchweights.

      cough cough

        and I just looked up the WW title fights Armstrong has had
        you'll have to name the fights that happened at a catch-weight, because there's no indication there that there were catch-weights, and many of those fights happened at the full division limit with his opponents coming in near 147

        provide evidence please
        or else it didn't happen

          People seem to be under the impression that Manny invented catchweights or something. It's like the ****ing twilight zone. These morons have no knowledge of the history of the sport, CATCHWEIGHTS WERE FAR MORE COMMON IN THE PAST THEN THEY ARE NOW.

            the fighters accept those catch-weight because they know Pacquiao is a big star and they can make the most money against him
            As I told you Cotto or anybody's free to fight anybody. Pac can still fights at 135 if he wants to. But He's following the Money fights at the higher weights. As I told u Pac's not a real welter but he's fighting Big guys for bigger money and greater legacy.

            So u guys stop crying and appreciate a Brave man like Pac who fights anybody. Unlike Floyd who pick only the easier fight for him.

              The blue parallelogram tool just gave me red k because "Armstrong is greater than Pacquaio". I never said he wasn't, that isn't what the thread is about.

                  The Oscar fight wasn't a catch weight Manny moved up from 135 to 147 and Oscar moved down from 154 to 147 he just lost weight the wrong way it seems.

                  I thought the only catch weight fight Pac had was Cotto?
                  DLH didnt lose weight the wrong way, he simply couldnt make the weight/

                  so in essense, it was a catchweight fight.

                    Armstrong never starved his opponents
                    FAIL

                    Pacquiao didnt starve no one.

                    Cotto made weight with ease,he even come with chain on weigh in .

                    WITH CHAINNNNNNNNNNNNNN



                    Pacquiao is 8 division champ and Armstrong is what 3?

                    bwahahahahahahaha

                      dude, pac can not make 135. dude weighs 148+ on fight night and is all muscle.

                      hes struggle to make 140, which i dont think he can do comfortably anymore.

                      pac is a REAL ww, hes a small WW. as i have said before. you guys need to stop playing down pacs weight and stop playing up floyds. they are both small ww's.

                      and if pac is not a small WW, then he needs not to be fighting at WW and asking for catchweights, beating people on the scales
