Mayweather Catchweights vs Pacquiao Catchweights

[straightleft]

The floydiots keep ignoring this fact. A FORMER 106 pro fighter and former flyweight champ (112) fought a catchweight fights at 147-154. What a shameless coward Pacquiao!

Floyd a 2x champ at 154 asked a catchweight to a fellow 154 champ. What a brave hero!

Margarito catchweight was by far the worst.
Followed by JMM > Cotto > Canelo

First, Manny shouldn't have even allowed Margarito to step in the ring with him. Then have it at 150, for a title is even worse.

I voted a tie!! They both lose. To say anyone is more worst than the other is just plain hate towards the fighter you dont like. At least explain each fighters scenario. Instead its just another hate thread for two great fighters.

This quickly turned into a circle jerk. SOP around here. Carry on.

They are both equally guilty, but what makes Floyds worst is that he dissed pacquiao about his catchweight fights and turns around to do the same to Canelo. Anyone who tries to justify his actions most likely just has a crush on floyd.

Personally, I don't have a problem with catch weights. Sometimes you need it to make a fight and sometimes it's just gamesmanship. Mayweather talking smack about Pacquiao's catch weights is just him looking for any reason to take a verbal jab at his rival. That's what he does. Of course the fans took it to heart and is now crying foul. I get it... tit for tat. However, if Canelo has to come in 2 lbs lighter for the fight to happen.I don't have a problem. If he looks worst than in has in any of his fights, loses, and it's attributable to the 2lbs, then everyone has something to complain about. For now, this is just something else to keep the two set's of fans at odds with each other.

Honestly Mayweathers. My reason is this: I don't care about catchweights. I believe they don't matter as much as people seem to think. BUT Mayweather used this as his MAIN problem with Pacquiao's achievements. So now, Mayweather is just a huge hypocrite.

Miguel Cotto was an undefeated fighter when Floyd fought him, remember?
So does that mean that a Canelo win doesn't mean anything when Floyd beats him? This is Floyds own words people.
