Maybe I missed it but where exactly in the article did it say that the Williams camp requested or forced the catch-weight?

He needs a catchweight vs Ishida. What does that tell you? Don't you Floyd stans always talk **** about Pac and his ****** ass catchweights?
So all you h ave to be is black to not get shit from you fools?
How do you know they can make it with no ISSUES? You on both camps?
So I'm trolling for speaking my mind on how much of a ***** move this is? Oh yea, I'm a Canelo fan but that doesn't stop me from calling him a bitch too for his ****** catchweights. Fail son!
You have hit a new high, with this double standards of yours!!!
Ishida last fought at 160, whos to say he didnt moved up because he couldnt make 154 anymore??
Why is Paul "I Got KTFO'' Williams using a catchweight for???
Why are you not ****ting on him the way, you **** on Pac??
Why is only cool for a black fighter to have a catchweight???
You are a ****ing ****!!!!!:*******:

Nobhiro Ishida (23-6-2, 8 KOs) of Japan will once again attempt to upset the odds. After pulling off a "shock of the year" on April in Las Vegas, with a one round destruction of previously undefeated James Kirkland, he will enter the ring on July 9 against the comebacking Paul "The Punisher" Williams (39-2, 27 KOs). Williams has been inactive since last November's brutal two rounds knockout loss to Sergio Martinez. The fight is going to take place at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, at a catch-weight of 155-pounds.

Anyone, anywhere, anytime, so long as its at catch-weight.
WTF ?
I thought that gannet was prepared to fight anywhere between 147-160 ?Comment

FWIW, catch-weight bouts were originally conceived to enable a matchup between two name opponents - who were usually NOT current top fighters, but likely older faded champions - who would probably never meet up because of weight disparity.
And genius, those fights were called an EXHIBITION match..... you know, like most of Pac's recent fights.
And when first conceived, a catch-weight DID NOT involve a title fight.Comment

There are only two reasons to demand a catch-weight.....
* you are not good enough to compete at your opponents natural weight
* you are trying to drain him to gain an unfair advantage
Either reason would deem the fight nothing more than an exhibition match imho..... which is fine, but it is hard to take Williams too seriously now, especially after his "anyone, anywhere, anytime" slogan.
Williams is a jack-of-all-trades, but master of none..... and this proves it.Comment

What's fraudulent about Paul Williams? I don't understand how anyone can not respect him as a fighter. Paul Williams is good for boxing. The guy willingly fights from 147 to 160. He's fought Margarito, Quintana (twice), Phillips, Winky, Martinez (twice), and Cintron. He's an action fighter who throws tons of punches. He's fun to watch. If I were coaching, I wouldn't teach someone to box like him, but there's not a single fight for him from 147 to 160 that I would not want to watch. You all are crazy.
I love watching PW in the ring. His lost to Martinez should be a wake call for him and his team. I hope he recovers from his lost to SM and become a better fighter.Comment

Pac fans must just stop...the difference is Pac fights for a title at catchweight and claims to have made history....
This will be a non-title fight.Comment
