Pacquiao fought DLH in a catch weight - Floyd

[Vasyl’s dad]

Yes , it was a contracted weight much lower than what Oscar had been fighting at 154 , Oscar had not been 147 on fight night for over 10 yrs , he was ruined before the bell sounded .

As an example a LW champ fights a WW champ at 140 pounds , its a CW .

No dummy,

This,

2008-05-03 : Oscar De La Hoya 150 lbs beat Steve Forbes 150 lbs by UD in round 12 of 12


is a catch-weight.

****in moron.

165 pound Oscar will go through Manny like a hot knife threw butter

168 lbs trying to walk through Manny:

Haha, of course not. I forgot that Floyd is like the L. Ron Hubbard of the Floyd stans. He's infallible.

The Floyd worshipers live vicariously through the guy so of course, in their eyes, Floyd is a perfect being. He can do no wrong.

they also say pacquiao drained oscar. oscar was the one dictating the terms on that fight and he was highly criticized for dragging pacquiao all the way to welterweight. Nobody knew he would be drained come fight night and that ain't pac's problem. anyone who agreed to fight at catchweights too that ain't the winning team's problem.
Floyd was being a hypocrite when they take pride on saying "we dont do cathweights" and then a month later comes 152lbs against canelo when he already fought at 154 a couple of times. but i dont have a problem with that since canelo agreed to it and fought with a ****** strategy nonetheless the weight didnt matter.
when he paid marquez was the more ****** thing.

I forgot how hard it is to get a legit answer from a Pac ****** , just learn some more about boxing especially CWs making weight and fight night weights , it will paint a picture for you that you have never seen before .

Pacquiao had one fight at 135,so he was basically still a 130 lb fighter,getting used to the weight. He came all the way up to 147,skipping 140 for oscar. So in 2 fights,he jumped up from 130 to 147,which is 4 weight classes. On the other hand,oscar had to come down only 1 weight class,which most people thought was ridiculous,since on paper,the fight was a total mismatch,and oscar was going to demolish manny. oscar was the A side,and could dictate the terms,and he was completley fine with fighting at 147,which is a DIVISION,not a catchweight.But things went wrong with oscars plan and he took a beating from pacquiao. But floyd fans love to discredit the win,and say how pacquiao abused an old weight drained de la hoya,and how manny should have just gone from 135,and skipped 140,147,and gone straight to 154 for oscar. But lets not forget,if manny would have beaten oscar at 154,we would all still be hearing "he was on peds doe". Theres no reasoning or arguing with you people,because in your eyes manny has never had a legit win,and has just been cherry picking his whole career. May 2nd cant come soon enough.

Floyd isn't eloquent. He obviously means Oscar wasn't comfortable, which is true. And it was Oscar's own fault for cashing in on that sideshow fight.

not eloquent = catchweight

true story

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Oscar picked the weightclass, manny was a huge underdog B-side... I don't know why this is even an issue or debate

Too much logic and common sense for this forum, bro. They're not going to read any opinion that contradicts what they believe in. Pac will always be a PED cheat, a bum, easy work, one-dimensional "midget" that doesn't stand a chance against Floyd and is a highly-inferior fighter compared to any other of the fighters on their favorite boxer's list. Floydscene.
