there are no minimum weight limits, there are only maximum weight limits...

[fabie]

I come back online and everyones pissed that Pac is so light?

I mean I personally think it's not smart to be so light.. but to be mad about it?

Theres no minimum weight.

Floyd weighed 150 for a 154lb title.. whats the problem?

Roy weighed 193 for a HW title?

In my humble opinion, Pacquiao's distrations in not working-out in the same level as previously while his body cannot take anything more than 150 shows that they elected for him to opt for his SPEED to compensate his relatively lesser-than-ideal conditioning.

So Pacquiao at 144 meant they're banking purely on his SPEED.

Sure it is a risk as Pacquiao's ability to absorb punches could be compensated. Thus I think that Roach is going for the KAMIKAZE attack on the early rounds.

Pacquiao's stamina is the "last resort" for him to box and outbox Margarito if he can't take him down on the early to mid rounds.

thread ends here i guess.

coming lighter isnt smart idea. and pac is even fighting for his own risk. did pac violate any written rule about minimum weight? A big NO.

[Pullcounter]

since when do you know what the rule book says? what commission do you work for to talk about what is and what's not in the rule book? THIS IS JUST YOUR OPINION!

it's not ****in opinion dude. there's no such thing as a minimum weight limit. get in here benny and tell this guy.

If JCC Jr. at 160 lbs. beats Klitchko, which he obviously would, then JCC Jr. is HW champ.

There is no minimum weight limit.

[Kagami Taiga]

will u idiots shut up with this minimum weight limit ****???!!! this isnt the mma and this damn sure aint the amateurs and golden gloves n ****!! if u dot kno what ur talking about gtfo.

pac can weight -5lbs if he wanted to.

[ummeed]

If JCC Jr. at 160 lbs. beats Klitchko, which he easily could, then JCC Jr. is HW champ.

There is no minimum weight limit.

nah... according to the "slave contract" you have to beat both brothers to be the HW champ.

Lol, catchweights become a problem when they come to define a fighter's legacy. Do you realize casual boxing fans will call Pac the 'greatest ever' 100 years down the line because of 8 titles in 8 different weight divisions? Do you think it's moral to praise a man for false achievements? Yeah, I get it. Guys like Bernard have done it. IT STILL DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT. It's like that old saying, "if everyone jumps off a bridge, would you too?" If Pac can't make the weight of the Jr. Middleweight division, he shouldn't force Margarito to come in a catchweight. When Sugar Ray went up, he didn't call for catchweights.

u know nothing dude, when sugar ray fought for LH title he fought in catchweight, even now he doesnt have credit for that title. so does pacman if he win

you need not reference what this fight's weight difference is because I'm clearly not talking about this fight I'm talking about pullcounters claim that there is no limit as to how low a fighter comes in to a fight as long as he doesn't exceed the agreed limit so I asked him, and this is outside of Pacquiao-Margarito (this is a general question which is why after a while I just used numbers and not names to make my point) I asked him if it was possible that someone at 135 while weighing 135 could fight a champion at 175 who outweighs him by 40 pounds for his title and he basically said yes as long as the guy who weighed 135lbs doesn't exceed 175 and that is absurd

you might ask why did I come up with such a crazy scenario? I'll tell you, because he said there is ZERO limit to what the difference in weight between 2 fighters can be as long as they don't surpass the maximum limit. he made my scenario possible by saying there is ZERO limit in what the weight disparity will be, that opens the space for me to make that scenario and I did and he said it wouldn't matter which is pure bull**** because it clearly DOES matter, no commission would even entertain that thought meanwhile you have this idiot saying that it's possible..

there may not be a MANDATED minimum but there is an invisible line in difference of weight where A FIGHT (not tomorrow's fight, but any fight) just can't go down, my example was 40 pounds, I said if a 135 pound fighter attempted to make a fight with a 175 pound champion it wouldn't matter that there is ZERO minimum weight limit like pullcounter says because no commission would let that happen anyway, he's basically saying it's possible when it's clearly not because no commission anywhere, anytime nor anyplace would allow it and 40 is a drastic example they wouldn't even let 30 pounds and I don't even think anything more than 20 pounds and I'm talking about weigh in weight not fight night weight

my bad for the long rant, I try to cut down on that but I just want to solidify my point, I'm not arguing that there is no mandated minimum weight limit I'm simply saying you can't weigh TOO low compared to your opponent

If you're so worried about fighters being outweighed by as much as double digits. Then should the heavyweight division put a minimum weight and maximum weight wherein both fighters should not exceed in order to protect both fighters well being?

I mean, you've got fighters in the heavyweight division outweighing opponents by as much as 20-100 lbs.

David Haye weighed in 218 lbs vs Valuev's 315 lbs. VALUEV OUTWEIGHED HAYE BY AS MUCH AS 100 LBS! NOW, IS THAT FAIR?
