He is going to win a 154 lb belt NOT AT THE JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT LIMIT. They're all false achievements that none of his nuthuggers want to admit.
    But, that wasn't what Tua was talking about with Armstrong.

    The point was that Armstrong weigh way under the MW limit for the MW title.

    SRR weigh under the MW limit for the LHW title.

    Roy Jones weigh under the CW limit for the HW title.

    No catch-weights but under the limit of the weight-class below it. That is what PB32 is complaining about that he came in at 144. Which how is that a disgrace?

    Now if you talking about the catch-weight then fine. But, weighing in at 144 is a 150 catch-weight is a disgrace how so?

          I like Pacquiao but coming in at 144 fighting for a 154 title asking his opponent to come in at 150 is just ****in ridiculous, I hope he doesn't expect us to recognizing him as the jr. middleweight champ if he wins. I feel like he is disrespecting the sport and us the true boxing fans, in my opinion this is just as classless as Margarito making fun of Roach.

            If you can't see whats wrong here than well that just plain wrong.

            Yea theres no minimum only a maximum, meaning none of the 2 fighters can weigh over 150 on the day of weigh in. but isn't it already wrong that theyre fighting for a 154 title at 150? now pac is gonna rub it in more by weighing 144?

            Stop trying to spin it. I'm not bashing Pac. I give all the props in the world for Pac because he has the balls to fight bigger people. In the end i'll be excited to watch this fight like anyone else....but it's still bull****.
            How is rubbing it in?

            WTF?

            You guys are lost.

              Manny has only fought at a catchweight twice (including tomorrow). Marg is lucky Manny didn't make him come down to 147 for a WW fight, if anything Marg is getting more of a benefit out of it.

              Yeah I know its a championship fight for the 154lb title. But does anyone really care? The fact that Marg has it in the first place is a joke.
              I agree on that fact that Margarito shouldn't be getting this bout. However, downplaying Manny's catchweight history is a problem. His claim to fame will be a record 8 titles in 8 different weight divisions when two of those titles WEREN'T AT THE DESIGNATED WEIGHT LIMIT. To boot, the Oscar De La Hoya bout was at welterweight, a WEIGHT THAT OSCAR HADN'T MADE SINCE 2000 PRIOR TO THAT BOUT. Lol, it's going to be three times with this catchweight BS tommorow.

                People just like to nickpick, As much as i dont agree with Pac and catchweight involving title fights i dont see anything wrong here.

                    I agree. It's a disgrace when you get to fight for a vacant title, while not even fighting in the actual division the title's meant for. Especially when it's against someone like Margarito who has literally done nothing to deserve to fight for it either.

                    People bringing up Robinson fighting Maxim or Mayweather fighting Oscar are ******. Those fights weren't for vacant titles, as they already had champions. Meaning it was a legit fight for a legit title.

                    This fight, on the other hand, is a joke. It's like Devon Alexander fighting Kelly Pavlik for a vacant 154 pound title.
