144.6? wtf why move up in weight class if you cant even make the ****ing weight!

You think this is what they called Pac got balls and courage to face bigger men?

Well people may hear 8 titles in 8 divisions, but years, decades from now the real fans will research Manny's career. And we know how much objective information we have on fights from the past right now, well imagine the information that will be available in the future. The true fight fans will understand what was at play.

Manny is many things, a great fighter and a true champion at times, but 8 titles in 8 divisions is a deception that is allowed by this sport's corrupt sanctioning bodies. That is a dirty secret that will not dissapear.

I say that as a Pacquiao fan. So really, yeah, the belt of this fight means nothing to me. I want to see a great fight, and whoever wins, I know they're not the champion.

awesome, you see this is how you debate, green K for that. I just want the truth in Boxing to remain at the surface not at the bottom, I did over react though, sometimes I go off like that so I understand how some of you may confuse it for hate but I really didn't have hateful intentions I really felt that it was a problem it's just that I blew it up to more of a problem than a lot of you thought it was, I'm no hater though and I ain't about to let that theory stick about me amongst y'all because I'm really not y'all know my history I don't kick out hate, if I say something I have valid opinions behind it even if you don't agree, in this case I singled out something that only probably I have a problem with and turned it into something bigger than just my own feelings

if pac's balls were 5 pounds heavier, he wouldn't have had to weigh this low, and we wouldn't have all these "minimum weight" threads to begin with. if anything else, all the blame goes to pac's balls.

STFU, the only reason pac gave marg an "extra 3 pounds to play with" is so it will technically be a Jr. middleweight fight and pac can say he got his 8th title.

I thought Margarito's camp asked for the extra pounds and not the other way around? I read Margarito's camp wanted 152 but Pac couldn't make that weight. I read an interview about it. I'm feeling lazy so just google it. The belt being on the line is most probably the corrupt WBC's and Arum's promotional wheel's fault more than the fighters. So I'm not blaming the fighters here for the farce title fight but the promoters and the commission.

[crillz]

the only things that killed the integrity of this fight is the fact that they are fighting for a vacant belt at a catchweight and marg didn't deserve to box again, much less a title shot.

you started making posts calling corruption and all those stuffs right after pac weighed really low for a jr middleweight bout. you still tried to defend yourself about how low it is not to make the "minimum weight limit" for the said fight and you may have missed my previous post so i'll say it again. you were mistaken, admit it, and move on... you can't blame not knowing of the said rules yourself on corruption and you can't just suddenly want to make a new rule for a minimum weight.

you had alot of points arguing about the catchweight nature of the fight, but please give up arguing about the validity of pac's weight... it just doesn't sound too intelligent.

see I wasn't trying to re-write anything nor create anything I simply over reacted on what I personally felt, I have a problem with that but that doesn't mean it can't be done nor that I can stop it from happening now. I can't say I'm wrong because it's not everyday that people fight for vacant titles at a full weight lower than the agreed weight but then again I can't say I'm right because it happened enough times in the past to make it so I can't sit here and single that out right now, the integrity of this bout is shot to **** though but I have already admitted I over reacted, I already admitted I made something out of nothing and even though I still have a problem with it that's only me obviously and my own opinion and it's to be respected like your opinion or anyone else but it's not to be mandated the way it could be interpreted by my posts

now you being a **** head, quit your **** already I addressed my situation, now you're the one who needs to let it go..

[WESS]

Man, I thought Pac would be at least 147. I figured about 148-149 at max. He must have been really worried about losing his biggest asset (speed).

Well that wont change the fact that he still beats Margarito's a$$...... (late stoppage)

I have to give to Margarito though. Dude doesn't look like he has any pressure on him at all.... like either he's REALLY confidant or just knows what's about to come and has accepted it.... (ass beating for lots of money)

Must be nice to fight under Top Rank.... (cough cough)

[pasawayako]

if pacquiao wins this will be the biggest win in the history of boxing, hes giving up weight, height and reach

co-sign bro.

[JayDee2700]

I hope manny plans on, using his speed the whole fight an not trading with Margarito as he said he would.

[Assteroid Field]

I might have to stick to my guns and really boycott the fight, no streams or anything... I don't wanna watch!

BTW anybody know Manny's weight for cotto and clottey on fight night?
