The whole Pac thing doing my head in now
To step up to another weight and get a shot straight at a World champion is one thing to make that champion fight at a catchweight is another but to now be stepping up to a weight he has never fought at for a vacant title is just pathetic boxing politics stink. It should be Antonio Margarito vs Ryan Rhodes for the WBC 154lbs title as number 1 and 2 Pac isn't even ranked at the weight or by any governing body at the weight yet is fighting for a vacant title its just daft and to top it off its at a 150lb catchweight. I hope he comes unstuck this time

Re: The whole Pac thing doing my head in now
Fighters getting title shots they dont deserve is as old as boxing its self.
Re: The whole Pac thing doing my head in now
.....people accept crap like this fight and that's why boxing is in the state it is. Why anyone complains about anything that happens in this sport now a days is beyone me. Thank god football season is almost here. I'm not a fan of mma myself but all these silly fights and catchweights and garbage that goes on is why the cage stuff is more appealing to the casual public. Floyd should fight glen johnson next at a catch of 145 glen is way more deserving of a title shot and has never been caught cheating on top of that.

Margarito isn't ranked either, both guys are fighting for a title that neither has done shit to earn

I agree mate.What really does my head in is catchweight fights with Pac. He wants to fight at the higher weight division that is fine he can weighin at what ever he wants but let your opponent weigh the full amount if they want.
Re: The whole Pac thing doing my head in now
I still don't see how you can have a title fight with a catch weight of anything other than the weight class limit

I understand it sort of cause its over the welterweight limit but one fighter should be aloud to weight what ever they want up to 154 not both of them at a catchweight :confused:

If Antonio Margarito is allowed to fight anyone, it should be Cotto.
