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

[damned1974]

At the time, right now, in 50 years from now...That was one of the greatest night in boxing history.

The problem is that Pac is trying to live off from that night...And, that's not gonna fly.

Out of all the moments in boxing history,the Pac/Oscar fight doesn't even cross my mind as being a history breaker...When there were fighters like Grebb and Armstrong that fought for 1 belt at proper weightclasses not jr or super weightclasses,it is even tougher to consider the Oscar/Pac farce.

There are so many rich moments in boxing history that Top Ranks over hyped B.S. and matchmaking manipulation actually get me sick to my stomach.I cannot forget how Arum proclaimed to the world that Manny was greater than Ali after just beating Hatton and the idiots bought it up as well as his hype.

Pac is great at what he does,but there is a LOT of asterisks next to his opponents.Even Ray Charles can see that.

Cotto wanted the fight at 145lbs

Cotto Continues To Pursue 145-Pound Catch Weight In Pacquiao Fight

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...pacquiao-fight

Pacquiao is also criticed for fighting De La Hoya at 147lbs, not a catchweight also.

Not only that but Cotto comm'only weighed in at 146 so 145l.bs was a lb off... I don't know where idiots saying "dangerously drained" get the idea...

I think weight limit is specifically stated in the Contract and both parties agreed and signed it, so, ain't no problem with catch-weight.

I dont care what fight ward and dawson fight at. the fight doesnt interest me whatsoever, but the fact of the matter is, the fight is at a weight class, not at a catchweight. that already makes this situation different than the pac-cotto fight...

I guess Floyd is the only one you watch.. How can you not be interested in Ward v Dawson? That is a great fight.

I don't like catch weights guys should fight in one div or the other.

whats great about it? I dont care for dawsons style and I dont care for wards style. they're both good talented fighters and all, and of course Im gonna watch the fight, Im jus talkin shlt, but in reality, I dont really care too much about this fight, its not hard to see how its gonna play out...

and how does me not caring about this fight equal that I only watch floyd? think before you speak maybe? or is that alien to you?

[Alibata]

just cause you can never win an argument, doesnt make people ******. I bet you think that pac coulda beat cotto at any weight too, dont you? but yea, i'm the one thats ******, and you're a regular albert einstein over here. just cause your mom says your special, doesnt make it true


ps. at least I know how to read and comprehend basic sentence structures and paragrpahs. maybe one day you'll get there too...

You are an idiot... Take a poll and find out that most people think Pac beats Cotto at any weight. I guess you are one of the few geniuses along with other Floyd fans that everyone finds so educated.

To you-yes. In actuality, why don't you describe what made it one of the greatest moments in boxing history????

You cannot sit and agree that it was a circus act or a freakshow if you believe it was one of the pinnacle moments of the sport.Take your pick which one it was,because you already agreed in a previous comment that it was a circus freakshow.

Anyone who thinks this was one of the greatest moments in boxing history-please tell me why-this will be funny!

This fight is going to be a stinker....stylewise I don't see anything that will say "fireworks" or "war".

That is why I wasn't bummed out when the Dirrell/Ward fight got cancelled. An inside fighter against an outside fighter...similar to 2 magnets repelling off of one another....
