    why do fighters ask for different gloves?

    enter the ring last?

    ask for difference size ring?

    they always ask for **** , sometimes it makes a slight difference , sometimes it doesn't.


    i still don't understand how pac fighting at 150 is somehow an advantage for pac.

    it's not an advantage for pac who can still fight at 140 , 147.

    it's just less of an advantage for the guy who is bigger.

        Its always better to be a little above your weight as it wont hurt you only make you stronger , but a little below is terminal when your already redlining .

          pac could have asked for 140 and marg would have done it.


          weights are all about size advantages.

          no matter be it 147 , 150 , 154......the size advantage is with marg.

          150 is just less of a size advantage for marg than 154.


          pac fought at 147 last. marg fought at 154 last.

          150 is pretty much the middle. fair for both sides.

            We'll have to wait and see what he looks like on the scales. It's on him if he suffers in any way since he agreed to it.

              Yea Marquez look great with extra weight

              Your quote is complete BS and shows your lack of knowledge pertaining to boxing and cutting weight

                really?

                how many fighters have gone up 4-5 lbs. and couldn't cut it anymore?

                how many 122 fighters were too small for 126?

                how many 130 fighter were too small for 135?

                so on......


                catchweights a few lb. less is never an advantage to the smaller guy.

                catchweights were designed to give the bigger guy less of an advantage.

                  Read my post a page back and you will realise why Marg being "a little below" will make no difference. And also, Pac is above his weight at welter so a little more will not make him stronger.

                      i still don't understand how pac fighting at 150 is somehow an advantage for pac.

                      it's not an advantage for pac who can still fight at 140 , 147.

                      it's just less of an advantage for the guy who is bigger.
                      you seem like a knowledgeable boxing fan, the question was

                      if weight is not an issue...why is the fight not happening at 154?

                      can i have an answer
