What I mean is the fight being at a catch weight. Maybe I'm wrong, and if so, someone here can clarify this for me. Last I heard the fight was supposed to be somewhere in the 150's but not at 154, correct? Now, I can understand those who were upset about Pac's previous bouts being at lower weight than what his opponents were used to fighting at, but hasn't Margarito fought the majority of his career at 147 lb? And before his last fight, against Robert Garcia, wasn't the last time he was at 154 against Daniel Santos back in 2004? Margarito is not fighting below a weight that he hasn't seen in years, he's fighting where he's spent an very large portion of his career and should be comfortable at the weight. If anything, I can't see any reason why after the weigh in he won't still be able to rehydrate into the high 150's or even 160 lb. Can someone clarify this issue for me? Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's about the weight, if this was a rubber match at 150 it would be great and i would watch it, but a title fight against a fighter whom you said yourself doesn't fight at the weightclass is an insult. Do you feel that if Pac beats Marg he deserves to be 154 title holder? I don't. not too mention there's no real reason why this should be a title fight, whoever wins wouldn't have proven themselves at the weightclass anyways.

the issue is..a catchweight..for a vacant title..niether should be fighting for......the title is the issue here

Not really fair being a title fight at a catchweight

**CUNTLEE** · 09-10-2010, 03:40 PM

plus they had to pay off a damn commision just to license margo...that makes it 100 times worse

For most its not about the weight, but I think its too funny when people says Margarito will be drained. I even saw an article about it on another site. Hilarious.

So you're pissed that it's for a 154lb title that noone in the past 5 years who has held it really deserved to hold???

the problem with it, at least in my opinion, is that neither Pac nor Marg are 154lbs fighters, therefore the title shouldn't be on the line.

How bout if you're gonna hold a title at least fight an opponent for it. Last person to hold same said title was just handed said belt by sanctioning body in light of previous champion's untimely death(not to mention he didnt really deserve to hold the title either since he won the title fighting for a vacant belt against an opponent who really didnt deserve a shot either)

I'm trying to understand the complaints concerning Pac/Marg..
