Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Not Concerned Why He Got Garcia Fight

[Fetta]

Haha your failed attempt to prove me wrong or whatever failed and in turn made YOU look like a moron. Asking me if I read the article haha did you even read my comments? 1 . I said this is a fight just to make danny look good 2. I also said even if malignaggi gets to a decision he will not get it. 3. I said if he was really blunt like he said he is he would call this fight for what it it, a fight to make Garcia look good. And 4. Idgaf if malignaggi thinks he can win a decision, it was a rhetorical question. SO congratulations on making yourself look dumb

Yeah thats what happened, OK

The weight limit for junior welter is 140. They were closer to 147 than 140. If it were a pound or two above 140, then maybe you can call it a jr. welter fight. But 144 is welterweight, whether you or I like it or not. If the catchweight is over the divisions weight limit it is a fight in the next division up. Enough excuses for Garcia already.

It was not 144, it was 143..... but you have completely missed the point.

The point is..... it WAS NOT 147 !

Unless the max limit is 147, then it is a catchweight fight, not a WW fight.

The bold is flawed logic.

So then you must have considered the Porter-Broner fight as junior welterweight. Afterall, it was at a 144 lb limit. Of course everyone knows that was a welterweight fight with a catchweight clause, making it no different than Garcia-Peterson.

Just to spell it out for you, 141-147 is considered welterweight. And this wasn't me who decided this either.

NO !

I most certainly did not do anything that silly.

Porter/Broner was a catchweight fight.

It obviously was not a welterweight fight..... because the welterweight limit is 147, and Porter was only allowed to weigh 144..... pretty simple really.

No, that is rubbish !

147 = welterweight

Above 140, but lower than 147 = a catchweight.

The divisional limit at welterweight is 147, and will NEVER be lower than that.

A contractual stipulation that lowers the maximum weight limit from the standard divisional limit, automatically renders the fight, a catchweight fight.

Most knowledgable fans know this.

I'll try for the last time to make this clear to you. The welterweight limit is 147. That is the MAXIMUM you can weigh for a welterweight fight. If you are between 141-147, you are a welterweight. All knowledgeable fans know this.

Once again, this is a FACT, not an opinion. If you think you can dictate your own rules over the real ones, good luck with that. I'm not going to waste too much time arguing with irrational people.

[zalcups@yahoo.c]

your always calling a fight to manny pacquiao which the fighter cannot fight because of operation. here comes now danny garcia call you a fight. i think you are afraid to danny garcia and i think maybe in 1st round you will sleep.
your fist is not so good... maybe your mouth is so good.

If Paulie has anything left I give him a real chance for an upset.

[Golden Boi 360]

Paulie might do better than people expect, just like Algieri did better than expected against Khan.

Exactly !

Anything less than the divisional limit becomes a catchweight fight.

And any other spin, is fanboy dribble to suit your agenda.

That is the MAXIMUM you can weigh for a welterweight fight.

Correct, the welterweight limit is 147.

Pretty simple really, but I cant wait to see how you fcuk it up.....

If you are between 141-147, you are a welterweight. All knowledgeable fans know this.

No !

If you weigh 141-147 for a standard welterweight fight held at 147, then you are a welterweight who prepared for a welterweight fight..... if the maximum weight was LESS than 147, then you did not prepare for a welterweight fight, you prepared for a catchweight fight.

Your knowledge/understanding is lacking.

My boy Cotto did not just beat a middleweight, he beat a 157lb'er.

[Weebler I]

My boy Cotto did not just beat a middleweight, he beat a 157lb'er.

Then why is he "middleweight champion"? he won the title at 159lbs.

It was a catchweight fight within the middleweight division (which ranges from anywhere above 154 to 160).

Scott is right I'm afraid.
