Pacquiao vs GGG - Mega Fight 2016 - 152 or 154 ''catch''

[Lester Tutor]

Forget Floyd, if you have a 2x, reigning, lineal, unified champ, you'd expect him to be ready for all comers at that weight. Common sense. If Floyd is too small and feeble, he shouldn't be sitting on the paper belt for 3+ years. But we all know the guy is a dishonest POS all around

Here's your homework. Tell us how many times Floyd has defended a Lineal stance...

Then tell me how many times Pac has defended a Lineal stance.

Good luck!!

You bring up a good point of course.

But surely if Floyd and Cotto are cowards for not wanting to fight such a big man then Pacquiao must be a coward too? It's only fair.

Don't mistake me for a PAC tard just because I'm attributing sense to my post. I've precious little time for either Floyd or PAC.

[BrometheusBob.]

Did you read the thread title? So a 150 catch is more ideal?... 3 pounds more than 147, but GGG has to submit to a 10 pound difference? Oh see....that's right...Pac was not a true Welterweight... do you have a clear point for GGG vs Pac?

You want to elaborate fair middle-ground?

I didn't say that 150 makes sense for Pac/GGG.

In fact no fair middle ground exists for two fighters so desperately apart in size.

[Basco]

Pac went as high as he can go and he has nothing else to prove. He will be giving way too much advantage in a fight like that. Good fantasy fight but not realistic.

Pac was never lineal at SWW. He dropped the paper belt on the spot, admitting the 8th division is too much

No such honesty with Floyd, of course. He defended that SWW belt at 147 vs Maidana lolol

Is it a lineal title or a paper title? It can't be both. If it's a paper title, why on Earth are you so concerned about GGG fighting for it? Are you also in support of GGG campaigning at 154 now that Floyd has retired? If not, why?

Funny you should say that..... what was Pac's weight before De La Hoya, who did he fight? What was the weight agreed to between Pac and De La Hoya? Once you've done the math, then compare that logistic to the year De La Hoya won a 160 belt..

There's no need to come up with excuses. That's what Top Rank is for!

Yes, Floyd (154 lineal champ) and Cotto (160 lineal champ) are the same as the smaller and titleless Pac. Glad we cleared that up. For the record, I don't think that Floyd should fight GGG, but there is more of a case to be made than Pac.

You didn't answer the question. You're complaining about somebody not defending a Lineal position...

So I ask you again,

How many times did Floyd defend a Lineal weight? How many times did Pac defend a Lineal weight? It hurts don't it... I mean surely you're not discrediting lower weights, correct? Or do the above weights only matter?
