Is Pacs 150 lb demand reasonable?

[fugu]

If you think a small man asking for a catchweight against a bigger man is a ***** , you're flat out ******.
148-154 is the Junior Middleweight Class. 150 is still Junior Middleweight.
Margarito won't have any problem making weight.

You wanna what a ***** is? Is when Welterweight makes an old lightweight fight a catchweight of 145 ,then cheats him by coming in at 147.

That is a *****. His name is Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Please use your brain. The problem is not the catchweight itself, it is that there is a title on the line for a non-standard weight limit.

The title means nothing and he is fighting an opponent who is 5 inches taller then him and naturally much bigger. Also, it won't have an impact on the fight itself and Margo won't be drained.

4 time lineal champion is all that counts, and it counts for a lot.

It doesnt make sense just let Tony come in SUPER SLOW at 154 and pick him apart!!

[DondiNeverLeft]

Well the opponent is agreeing to it. Cotto could have said no to the catchweight but he did. Marg can say no too. Marg can even agree on the catchweight then break it, just like Mayweather against JMM.

True warriors or boxers who just want to fight should not be put at a disadvantage simply because they want, and have the "no fear" attitide to fight.

Pac is looking like a financial bully. He figures he has money and pull so he will make other fighters kneel to fight him.(sounds familiar *******s?)
The only difference is Floyd does not put the fighters at a disadvantage by making them take a test....If anything it makes them more even.

LMFAO at the third option in the poll. I'm somewhere in between. I'm not happy about the 150, but whatever...

The testing part, Pac was not link to any reports of taking illegal substances, like how Mosley was. It all came from the Mayweathers.

Mayweather is a financial bully also. Don't you think it was a disadvantage of JMM going up 2 weights to fight Floyd, even though JMM called him out. Even at 144 catchweight limit, Mayweather had the advantage but by not making it, that puts more of a bigger advantage for PBF.

As far as true warriors, this is professional boxing, not amatuer. Boxers can say they fight for pride and country, but when it comes down to it, they fight because of money.

Well yeah he's moving up in weights. Comes with the territory.......

[Bubba Chunday]

Belts dont mean **** anymore, and havent done for a long time.

I think its a good fight, and a catchweight is reasonable seeing as Marg has just moved up and Manny has never fought that heavy before.

I think everyone is too caught up in the politics.

[DondiNeverLeft]

Well I guess we all know how people feel about Pac and his ***** move..A few *******s are hanging on for dear life.

[lefthook2daliva]

Personally I think its a ***** move.
.

I'm right there. Pac has used up his "I'm the small guy" points. He uses that **** like some folks play the race card. As a fighter that is attempting to secure a top 10 ATG slot, he has to win fights that the average fan would find unfair. Beyond the pale. But if that mealymouthed mf ,Roach continues to secure unnecessary advantages, Pac will be viewed as a "could have been" in an ATG sense.
