Sugar Ray Robinson Fights For LHW Championship... Weighs 157.5 lbs

[Bushbaby]

your an idiot. ray ray fought for the LHW championship against the BEST GUY at that division and he was 157.5 ....



you do the match SON

You guys are missing the point. The reason why people are pissed isn't that Manny weighed in at 144.6. They're pissed because he forced Margarito at a catchweight of 150. It's true that Sugar Ray Robin weighed 157.5 for a light heavyweight bout but he never had a catchweight dictated in the contract.

Stop it guys,this tread is done with this!!But Walter U did forget to tell them that it was the champion he was fighting also!!

Fighting for the Light-Heavyweight belt at 157? History will not be kind to this cheating bum. Disgusting



Look at the shock on the face of Champion Joey Maxim, pure disgust.

Are you a nuf nuf ,,,,, in Pacs case bending the rules to your advantage is not cheating its good matchmaking , taking PEDS and putting plaster in your gloves is cheating !!

I would back Rock Katsidis against Klit at 160 lbs ,,,, does that make Rocky a great fighter ?

At the post-fight weigh-in, Robinson was weighed in at under the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.

Yeah, interesting note- that fight took place in NYC during a record heat wave. The ref collapsed and had to be taken away in a stretcher and replaced, Ray couldn't answer the bell for the final round (15th) because he passed out from heat exhaustion. He was winning big on all scorecards and the heat was the only thing that prevented him from winning the light-heavyweight championship.

Both fighters lost 20 lbs in the ring that night!

bull****.

No one is complaining about the catchweight today (probably because Margs dwarfs Pac and looks to be in incredible shape... but I'm sure after tomorrow, after he puts on 10-15lbs from rehydrating, we'll be hearing a lot about how drained he was).

These clowns are complaining because Pac isn't coming in at 147.0000001 lbs but at WW.

This.... I've never heard one person complain that Pac weighed under the limit. They complain because he's fought for WW and now JMW titles and made it so the other guy can't weigh in at the limit for the weight class. Are you really that ******?

Personally, I don't have a problem with it if both sides agree to it, which has been the case with any catch weights, obviously. This thread is just silly and totally misunderstanding of the real argument that some people are making.
