Pacquiao fought DLH in a catch weight - Floyd

[Rocky Rode]

Many people seem to forget this. ^^

A WW fight is anywhere between 140.1lbs and 147lbs. If both fighters weight in a 143lbs it's still a WW fight.

No one is denying this. The definition of a catch weight is a fight that isn't at the division limit.

Any fight where the limit isn't at one of the recognized weight classes is considered a catch weight...Why does this even need to be explained

[RyanjLarose]

It's much easier to move up in weight rather than move down in weight, especially late in a fighter's career.

of course its easier to not lose weight...this is probably the ******est statements I've read on here, I pray that this is a troll.

Facts are facts, 147 is a division not a catch weight. Oscar was handicapped by it but it wasn't a catchweight.

Manny beats any version of Oscar though, styles.

When one fighter is contracted to a weight other than his regular division its a CW , learn boxing you idiots .

Seriously though this is like literally the gotdamn 36,785th time the forum has went over this thread topic.

Sorry mate, but it was Floyd himself who said it...... completely new topic IMO.

This thread proves how ******ed these guys are. They just make **** up as they go along.

Give it another week. Someone will claim Pacquiao/DLH was at 145 for the 39,839th time.

Mr. I don't drain fighters lost all right to complain about this after he needed a catchweight vs Canelo.

In terms of making the weight obviously cutting is easier than moving up, but in terms of actual in-ring performance it may in fact be more difficult to move up as the guy you could be fighting would be more powerful than you.
