If you want to fight a welter weight then then fight at the 147 weight not catchweight!
IN these conditions, seems like the Mayweather fight might happen, after all ;)Quote:

Pac is not even a WW champion as far as I am concerned. Catchweight this and catchweight that. Clottey should psyche Manny out by carrying a syringe into the ring. That'll teach him! :mad:
"It will be at 147. There's no catchweight" - Roach
FIGHTHYPE \\ FREDDIE ROACH BREAKS DOWN CLOTTEY FIGHT; SAYS THE GOAL IS A KNOCKOUT
Clottey versus Pacquiao??? Thats un imaginable just a year ago.
Damn Pacquiao is a pussy. Only the retarded Pactard fans can defend this shit.
Just go over to Pacland and the retards over there are defending it.
An excerpt from the thread starter's article that he posted.
Quote:
Like Cotto, who was contracted to come in at a catch weight of 145 pounds, Clottey will be required to weigh-in at no more than 144 pounds -- "that's what the catchweight is for this fight," said Koncz.
roach also said a 5 day window with no tests before the fight was fine at first and then changed his mindQuote:

what respect I had for pac as a fighter is gone.
I didn't have any for Roach before but Roach works for Pac, let's get that clear, if Pac doesn't want Roach running his mouth of he just needs to tell him to cool it.
Pac becoming a bit of a joke now
This doesnt surprise me at all. If you take away the Peds and catchweights then Pacs in trouble.
The fight will be at 147 I imagine because Clottey can barely get down to 147 as it is. However, Pacquiao-Clottey at 144 is better than Mayweather-Paulie at 147. Is there any doubt which will be the more fun fight to watch?
This cant be true can it ? there is no way Clottey can ever get down to 144lbs he is a big welterweight anyway.I dont believe that Clottey can be this desparate for a big payday if it means him killing himself to make the weight and giving himself zero chance of winning.

Pacquaio should accept 147 with no drug tests and Clottey walking to the ring with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDGbGDNKC3s

As long as his opponents are getting the biggest paycheck ever for fighting Pac, I don't think they will complain about weight draining themselves and Pac being high on speed and LSD.

I was about to say that.
Couldn't agree more. Why even fight at welterweight if your not going to fight guys weighing the welterweight limit!?Quote:

Clottey couldn't make 144 when he was six. Fuc all that crap. Josh is a welter so the fight should be there. For the 147 title not 144. Everyone wants to give pac all this credit for fighting bigger guys, then fight bigger guys. Quit adjusting all these fights to suit your needs and make things easier then cry about other fighters doing the same. Besides you're just giving clottey excuse no 147,142 if he looses.
Will you guys relent if the fight get's offically anounced at 147??
for 5 mins think that you dont hate Pacquiao and look at the facts
1. Manny Pacquiao had 1 Catweight fight. the 145 contracted weight againts the previous 146 at the scale Cotto.
2. Bernard Hopkins, Oscar Delahoya, Pernell Whitaker, JCC, SRL all had more catchweight fights than pacquiao
3. Malinnagi-Diaz were even at catchweights.
if you're going to counter this. pls provide facts and not just opinion.
You can blame Michael Koncz for this shit. In fact Pacman made a mistake having him as an advisor. Didn't he say that Pacman was afraid of needles or something?Quote:

And yes Koncz is the one that stated there would be a 144 lb. catchweight.
"Originally, Koncz had said that there was a catchweight of 144 for Pacquiao-Clottey, but he has since corrected that."
