Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito: WBC Approves 154-Pound Title Fight

[jasbar]

Great fight and i heard it will be at 154 lbs not a catweight.

WIKI:
Light Middleweight (also known as Junior Middleweight in the IBF or Super Welterweight in the WBA and WBC), is a weight division in professional boxing, between 148-154 pounds (66.7-69.9 kg).

good reference. So Marg or Pac can come in at 154, right? Yea, there's probably gonna be some kinda of 150# catchweight. So I guess it'll be 148-150 for this fight, hmmm. I never heard of such stipulation for a super welterwight fight. Usually people can weigh up to 154 for a super welterweigt fight. Im not disagreeing with you man, I just dont like the whole catchweight thing or the fact the neither one of these guys fought a ranked top 10 ranked 154#, but yet, they're fighting for a vacant title. But, im also a hypocrite, i buy all of pac's fight, and will probably buy this one, lol.y

Im a pac fan but this post is ridiculous

This is BS considering he fought Cotto at 145 for a 147 lb title

so was it bs when cotto won the belt at 146? cotto has officially weighted in at 146 for most or all of his welterweight fights...is that ridiculous that he couldnt make 147?

¿Who have any of these 2 fought to earn a shot at the vacant 154 WBC title? & ¿How in the world did Margarito all of a sudden become the #1 WBC 154 contender? Pacquiao has NEVER fought at 154lbs & Margarito fought TOMATO CAN Robert Garcia after being out for a year & according to the WBC THEY DESERVE A SHOT AT THE VACANT TITLE!!! THIS IS BULL S H I T & THAT JUST SHOWS HOW CORRUPTED PARASITE SULAIMAN & THE WHOLE WBC IS!! ¿Why even bother to have a top 10 if it doesn't mean S H I T!? Sulaiman just skipped over fighters that earn their dues like Martirosyan, Angulo & even Tomato Can killer Alvarez deserves more a shot at the title than these 2 clowns!!

PARASITE sulaiman did the same thing at 135lbs when he practically handed Humberto "La Zorrita" Soto the WBC 135lbs title by fighting SHOT David Diaz(who by all means DID NOT deserve a shot at the title) & bumped at the time #1 contender Anthony Peterson & Ironically Anthony Peterson WHO HASN'T LOST & has stayed busy is NO LONGER the #1, as a matter of fact Peterson is NOT EVEN IN THE WBC TOP 10 ANYMORE!!! Now al of a SUDDEN the #1 contender is Antonio DeMarco, #2 Daniel Estrada(who has never fought out of Mexico) & #4 Urbano Antillon, #5 Reyes Sanchez(who also has never fought out of Mexico) & #7 Ricardo Dominguez & all of these fighters happen to be Mexican!!! These organisms are ALL FULL OF S H I T!!!

Fail the point is he would be penalize if he came in at 147 in the pac fight numbnuts

Margarito got destroyed by an aging Mosley and barely looked decent against a random contender in his last two fights, not to mention was banned for a year and only Texas was willing to take the money...how the fck is that elite?



THEN WHY THE HELL IS THE LIMIT SET AT 154 LBS!!!>.....FOR A FCKING REASON! It's a (hopefully you can read and read the title) a 154 LBS LIMIT championship! Why can't Pac win his historic and divine 8th title at the limit? Last time I checked warriors take on obstacles as they come... NOT MODIFIED!

geez, 154 is the max weight limit meaning you cannot go over 154...anything over 154 = next weight division. ..anything over 147 up to 154 is a jr middleweight...two fighters weighing in between 147.001 and up to 154 is a legitamit jr middleweight fight.

if you research boxing, not all fights (championship fights included) resulted in both boxers weighing in at the max weight limit for his division...some boxers come in 1 lb, 2 lbs, 3 lbs, or more below the max weight limit.

thats not the point...the point is, cotto has officially weighed in at 146 all of his welterweight fights...i dont recall once where cotto weighed 147 in any of his welterweight fights...dum*&f*&ck

[indystress]

for people who knock on pac for not making the max limit for a fight, look at corley vs maidana...corley didnt make 140, he weighed in at 138...does that mean that corley shouldnt have fought maidana for maidanas belt? the max weight limit is not a weight where a boxer needs to weigh in in order to fight in that division...it just means he cannot weigh over the max weight limit...anything between the weight range is a legit division fight
