Pacquiao fought DLH in a catch weight - Floyd

[Rath]

You're right. 154 is a division. Fighting an unranked junior middleweight at 150 (Margarito) for a belt is a far worse catchweight.

if i am a floyd fan this clearly is an excuse

No because not all CWs are equal you are all hung up on the CW which on face value doesnt mean anything , what matters is the effect of a CW and thats on an individual basis , you cannot throw a blanket over all CWs because they not all the same , Oscar was the worst case of weight drained Ive ever seen in a contest of this level .



True it was a cherry pick gone very wrong , not Mannys fault but he beat a dead man walking and fans pumping the win up for Manny is not telling the whole story , actually I bet the version of Oscar Floyd fought , the 20 lb bigger Oscar that Floyd fought , would beat the hell out of Manny probably stopping him .

if i am a floyd fan these clearly are excuses

if i am a floyd fan these clearly are excuses

excuse for what exactly?

[Rath]

165 pound Oscar will go through Manny like a hot knife threw butter , all you see is one guy bashing another you have no clue about the weights .

You will see on May 2nd how a non drained bigger fighter handles Manny because the exact scenario is in this fight , this the smallest guy Floyd has fought is many years , and Floyd is not drained , Manny is getting dominated as you will see .

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 .

Oscar's S & C coach said after the fight that Oscar was in good condition. Oscar was having issues with southpaws even during his training camp. They made a few bad decisions with letting go some of his sparring partners.

[Rath]

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.

if i am a floyd fan this clearly is an axcuse.

we know better than floyd himself so we know what he really meant.

Yup there were rumblings that Oscar was getting worked by southpaws during his training camp. Sort of like the same rumblings we're hearing now about Floyd. Wonder if he hired Spadafora again

excuse for what exactly?

if i am a floyd fan i will not question a floyd fan judgement what is an excuse exactly and what is not an excuse.

Lol that was one funny answer. Show how a true groupie would answer. Its bad of its him but not bad if its him. Keep going groupie.

[Reloaded]

No version of Oscar at any point of his career isn't getting absolutely wrecked by Manny from that night. Weight wasn't the issue, it was the skill and speed. Nacho said it himself 'No point in continuing... he's just too fast'.

168 lbs trying to walk through Manny:

Haha , another CW where the fighter is dehydrated as slow as a sloth, put in a 26ft ring with 10oz gloves , coming of a bad KO loss and 2 years out for cheating , you boys should get some knowledge about inside the game its not all hype you know lol . ******s with a capitol R , and I forgot Margo was found to have Diuretics in his dressing room have a look what that does .
