Mayweather Catchweights vs Pacquiao Catchweights

[UTEP]

Their catchweight history:

Pacquaio:

Pacquiao vs Cotto - 145lbs (for 147lb title)
Pacquiao vs Margarito - 150lbs (for 154lb title)
Pacquiao vs Marquez III - 144lbs (for 147lb title)

Mayweather:

Mayweather vs Marquez - 144lbs (147lb limit...Floyd misses weight)
Mayweather vs Canelo - 152lbs (for WBC, WBA 154lb title)

Mayweather vs. Emanuel Augustus was also fought at a catchweight.

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.

Floyd has been fighting at 147+ since 2005. For Manny it was the first time above 147 and Margarito was really a career 147 fighter.

Yes, for the title you are right but even then Floyd vs Canelo is for 3 titles and Floyd has a title at 154. So the Canelo one ranks right after Marquez in my opinion. Having Marquez who just moved up to 135 then Marquez is expecting to fight Floyd at 144 BUT Floyd comes in at 146. Can't get any worse than that!

Of course you would agree Jesus Christ what a shock!!!

Since Floyd has fought at 154 for both Oscar and Cotto he should have fought Canelo at that weight. trick move
Manny fought Oscar at 147 and Clottey too so he should have fought Cotto at that weight too! trick move

neither is better or worst they are both fooken lame period

Floyd is worse only because he made a big deal about catchweights, but then turns around and does it,,, what a hypocrite,,,,,

plus manny's catchweights are overblown...
cotto the only legit one...

oscar wanted to fight at 147,, hence his fight at 150 vs forbes

margs was a career welter and manny is to small to make 154,, so they did it at 150 just so arum could market it as manny's 8th division title,,, they could have easily just fought at 147, but chose 150 so manny could go for 8 divisions...

Jmm3- who cares, both manny and jmm are smaller, blownup featherweights,,, Who was getting drained in that fight,,, Marquez had fought a true welter in floyd and couldnt handle the size,, so meeting manny at 144 is nothing,, both guys made that weight easily... nobody was drained,,, jmm was probably the one that asked for it, after dealing with floyd at welter.....

floyd is trying to drain canelo,, plain as day,,,
he also cheated JMM on the scales, and didnt even try to make the agreed upon weight, that is straight up shady......

[Mr. Fantastico]

All that **** Mayweather n his fanatics talked only to have a change of heart on catch weights now that Floyd does it. One of the top hypocrisies in boxing history.

this .

floyd is a hypocrite and a coward.

Im not siding with either one and you have some valid points but if you are going to knock the canelo 2 pounds you can do the same for cotto it was 2 pounds as well
then you talk about the 150 CW as if its no big thing, well it was and it was BS why not sign the fight at 154 and let manny come in at 150 or whatever he feels comfortable?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Not a fan of catchweights. I think most of the fights were legit and none of the fighters were actually drained. It's just annoying.

Mayweather's is the worst though for me. He's already fought twice at the 154lb limit. When Pacquaio did it, he was coming up in weight to new territory.

Mayweather is basically saying "Yeah I'll fight at 154 but only if you're well past your prime like Oscar and Cotto"

1.I did knock the cotto catchweight,,, may not have come off like that but i said that's the only legit one you can complain about,,, thats the only catchweight of manny's i have a problem with,, sorry if i didnt make it clear in the post..

2. If you sign the fight at 154, margs comes in huge like 165-179 pounds, and manny will be 150 maybe slighlty under,,,
no way manny can make 154 ever without coming into the ring looking like james toney fatass

yep, exactly

yep, exactly

And what is Manny saying , Cotto is used up goods said Roach , Oscar cant pull the trigger said Roach , Manny has had weight on Juan every time they have fought and still forced him to 147 because Roach said we want to force Juan to stand and trade by being slower , you succeeded in making him trade Freddie lol , Manny force Bradley up to 147 and now is forcing Rios up to 147 , Manny weighed more than Floyd did fighting JMM , fck me if you dissect all the information surrounding Mannys WW fights its nothing but manipulation and the opponent always got the raw end of the deal .

WTF is wrong with you guys , what does WORSE mean , Team Pac has forced the CWs on fighters to severely handicap the opponent and Roach has said so blatantly .

The Mayweather hate and bias and double standards of this forum is a joke .
