Pac's demand for a 150 catch weight= Floyd's demand for OST

[King Ju-Ju]

I don't think it equals the osdt demand. Fights at catchweights suck ass but they have happened b4. No1 has ever demanded that another fighter take osdt.

If both fighters have to take the test there is no advantage to either fighter. If the fight's at 150 pac will have the advantage.I'm Sure Tony can barely make 150

Dead right bud , how can a drugs test handicap anybody , its the oppostite it protects both fighters from the other one cheating against you !!

Pulling a fighter down to where he has trouble making the weight will hurt him badly , its a big hit on performance to go down in weight where its hard to force your body to make it ,,, going up in weight will never hurt you physicaly only making you a little slower but a lot stronger , going down to low will take your legs , take your punching snap and it will weaken you ,,, Manny is manipulating the weights to always weaken the bigger opponet , as an example Manny would sooner fight Margo Cotto Clotty at a reduced weight rather than say Bradley at 144-5 ,,, when its all said and done Pac is playing the game nothing wrong if he can get away with it , but he aint fooling everyone with this CW stuff , the general boxing fan takes weight for granted they just see two fighters they rarely see something wrong with one ,weight is very very important and many fights are won and lost on the scales , why does Roach hold out for a lousy 2 pound , because when its 2 pound under where it should be its gunna hurt .

How do you think people reacted when the first catchweight was demanded?

****ing *******s suck pacroids **** any chance they get......how in the **** can a ost(where both fighters are tested) be compared to a catchweight fight of 150 for the wbc 154?

They haven't quite figured out what drug testing is. They think it's some weapon Floyd is immune from that weakens his foe.

Floyd used that as a way 2 get out of the fight. You know it.

why dont you tell us since catchweight has been around since the 1920's or so!......lol

If someone has to take blood samples from me, it's not an inconvinience and it is not taxing.

If someone told me to cut my weight, it would be an inconvinience and taxing.

Asking someone to take a blood test is to ensure the opposition is not cheating to gain an unfair advantage. Asking someone to cut weight ensures that they do not get a legal/fair advantage.

Excellent post.

nobody ever demanded OST but Floyd. Catchweight has been going on for probably almost 100 yrs give or take. i dont think Manny is cheating history. im pretty sure if this wouldnt be his last fight he will fight someone in a 154 lb. for me i think his team want to see if he can take a punch and be competitive in jr middleweight division. give Manny a break. he has been fighting bigger guys and moving up weights. nobody ever done what he has done. FACTS

Tyson for Holyfield demanded OST. Povetkin for Wlad demanded OST. Just to name a few before and after Floyd did it. Floyd was not the first or last to ask for it. Goes to show much boxing most posters really know.
