    all of pac's fights are at catchweights that give him tremendous advantage over naturally bigger opponents.

    what's wrong with you?

      for elite fighters, a couple of lbs dont matter. people are so ****** to think the reason why oscar lost was because of the catchweight hence the prominence of using the catchweight as a excuse to discredit wins & fighters.

      24 rehydration rule absolutely makes criticisms irrelevant.

      You dont know **** about Boxing are you a professional Boxer? Your Opinion dont Count

              pac was a featherweight that moved up.

              maybe we should give him the same courtesy?

              that's all.

                Hang on a minute TS... We witnessed 2 rounds of boxing, not a full 12 rounds. For all we know, if this fight went the distance Martinez could well have been weight drained, however, it didn't get to that point. Martinez just completely brutalized Williams instead. You can't base 2 rounds on Martinez conditioning.

                    I didn't mean the catchweight...I was referring to why Martinez may have won the fight....and it may just so happen to be that Paul is REALLY a WW....if a MW punch touches a WW chin the way Sergio touched Paul's....then its good night.....hope I cleared that up

                      and this was a term demanded by a guy renouned for "fighting anyone anywhere" and a rematch of a fight he had won

                      2 lbs.......
                      after sergio beat pavlik at 160, he said he'd have a hard time going back to 154 that's why he gave up his belt there. sure he can go back to 154 if he wanted to, same way cotto can give up 2lbs under WW, or how margarito who was a WW champ not long ago can make 150 easily.
