Can Boxing Fans criticise Pacquiao for his catchweight fights and accept that Ward

[Bushbaby]

is it seriously that hard to read and comprehend something?

jesus christ this is humiliating...

Yes it is apparently. How is Cotto refusing to go lower than 145, the same as him proposing 145?? I do not know.

yea, that makes 2 of us....

So Pacquiao should have made Cotto come down to 140lbs to fight him, that would have been better?

Fighting for titles at less than the official weight class is nothing but trying to gain an advantage. Ward is the champ at 168, and Dawson not Ward proposed the fight could be at 168. Pac has nothing to do with this fight, so why bring it up?

I don't care who asked for what, because in that case Dawson said he'd fight at 168, doesn't mean I have to accept or like it.

And I would go on to say in that post that another reason I disliked that fight was because it was pointless at that time, but that you can't knock Pac for taking it because it made him a mega-star. The Cotto CW fight wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. He had to come in 1 lb less than his prior fight.

And I know it wasn't at a CW, it was at the WW limit. Still didn't like it because Oscar hadn't been there in so long, and because it was a pointless fight. Ward-Dawson is at least a good fight right now, would have been way better at a CW or at 175 though.

Ward should have just fought him at 175, means much more to his resume if he'd done that.

You do realize that the post you quoted only addressed the Pacman-Oscar fight & that that fight was absolutely no fault of Pacman's right??

Cotto offered the 145lbs limit. Pacquiao accepted.

The [catch] weight of 145 pounds is final and firm,"

Cotto was happy and felt health at that weight.

the point is cotto said 145, and they fought at 145

so if you're going to say you can't fault ward for making dawson come to 168 because dawson said he can fight at atleast 168(7lbs above lhw and we all know dawson is no smw at 6'3) what's the difference in pacquiao fighting cotto at 145 when cotto asked for atleast 145?

(oh yea, cotto is a natural welterweight and can actually make 145, that's the difference)
