Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Did I Have Training Camp For Nasukawa? No.

[JJRod]

Fair enough. I just feel if you have the skill an extra 2 pounds will not make a difference. Mayweather regularly got in the ring with his opponents outweighing him. With Marquez, PAC and the Japanese guy being the only exceptions.

Don’t get me wrong Mayweather does some crap that has me questioning him but this is a boxing forum and his accomplishments in the ring can not be questioned. That’s all I care about. Discussing his love life , how well he can read and dreaming if his money will run out is not my business

There are different reasons fighters asked for catchweights. Sometimes it’s to make a great fight possible, other times is to clearly gain an advantage. The advantage doesn’t have to be physical, but could also be physiological. Cotto used to do this with opponents. He’d have a catch weight just to show he was the A side and could force any demands on his opponent.. Canelo would so the same.

They have all done it, which is why I pointed it out to the poster who was criticizing Pacquiao for it.

Mayweather fought both canelo and Márquez at a catch weight. One he didn’t even bother to honor. Just saying.

Is that the guy that almost killed manny at the same weight, and that other guy is he the worlds best current MW.

Gee little Floyd must of got lucky.

No, he didn’t get lucky but Floyd did fight at a catch weight.
You can’t criticize one guy (Pacquiao) for fighting at a catch weight and not another (Mayweather) for doing the same.

You gotta be consistent.

Thats right because it was Pacquiao who invented catch weight fights.

Pac had like 8-9 consecutive weight-affected fights

hence the term..... " manny-weight "

where was the consistency then ?

I told everyone that manny-weight was a bad idea lol

What does this mean?

Catchweights have been around long before.
Your statement is ridiculous.

No one had a problem accepting DLH fighting Hopkins at a catch weight. Or Hopkins fighting Pavlik and Winky Wright at a catchweight. Or were they fighting at Hopkins weight?
They made catchweights to make the damn fights possible. And no one had issues.
