Welterweight isnt a catch weight its a division

[5.4ever]

No catchweight... 140, 147, 154, 160 are divisions

A true 154 pounder asking another true 154 pounder to fight at 152 is a deliberate catchweight...

[Build That Wall]

Pacquiao and Roach are the masters of the catchweight.

Correct....

[Reloaded]

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 .

So if Floyd is stating that this catchweight should discredit the win, is that him being a hypocrite?

How long had it been since De La Tranny had competed at welterweight?

Pacquiao was coming up from 135, where he had only 1 fight. It was a 130 lber vs a 154 lber at 147. It was the ultimate cherry pick gone wrong.

But let's not let facts get in the way of rewriting History.

How long had it been since Manny... oh wait.
