What's Worse: Pacquiao draining Cotto by 2 lbs, Or Ward draining Dawson by 7 lbs?

[RockyMaraschino]

2-7 lbs? MMA fighters cut like 10-20lbs and they still perform. Excuses

[Bushbaby]

You guys do know that the purpose of a catchweight is to even the playing field right? Its been going on for decades. In the case of Pac, why is it that its unfair to his opponents to have to come down in weight in order to face him but not unfair to Pac when he's facing a man who's 2 weight classes above him come fight time?

Official weight ins are the day before. Catchweights have indeed been going on for decades. But how many fighters actually considered the greatest fighter of a generation needed to demand catchweights for every dangerous opponent he faced?? With the others being shot, or a weight class below??

My problem with Pacman demanding the 1st fight at a catchweight is the fact that he also demanded Cotto come to 147 to fight him in 2012. (After he already destroyed him). But when Cotto said he won't do 147 Pacman only gave up 1 measly lb.

1 ****ing lb. The greatest fighter of this last generation would not fight a man he destroyed 2lb over the welterweight limit, when he chose him. He wouldn't do 150. He asked for Cotto, but not over 148. A man he destroyed, why??

Right about on schedule with the excuses. Doesn't surprise me.

It's a matter of principle, something I see you have little use for.

[Light_Speed]

Cotto said the weight wasn't an issue against Pac (he weighed in only 1 lb less than his previous fight SMH) and Dawson is the one who WANTS to move down and fight Ward for his titles. It's an advantageous position for him because even if he loses he's still the champ at 175.

So my question is : why are people still crying?

[Frank Ducketts]

Quality coaching, did you come up with this cunning tactic?

Pardon me, I'll be back.

This mother****er, lmao!

"I'm greater than you, therefore you can't be healthy if we fight". Some principle.

Funny that you're bitching about Pac considering Floyd and Paul Williams both have fought at a CW before. Specially Williams telling Sergio to go down in weight after saying he can fight all the way to 168.

Why is that funny?

Do you think Bushbaby is a Mayweather fan?

Seems to be a trend with you.
