De La Hoya: Pacquiao makes fighters lose on the scales 1st

[Hornfinger]

Yes you should stick to correcting my spelling cuz you do a very bad job of debating boxing.

It's the job of the fighter going up in weight to accomodate the weight class.

IT IS NOT THE JOB OF THE WEIGHTCLASS TO ACCOMODATE THE FIGHTER COMING UP!

You're whole argument is irrelevant bullshit.

So now you want to go to same day weigh ins just to make it easier for manny pacquiao? What a load of crap.

The 24 hour weigh in has a more recent history than catchweight fights my uninformed friend. Even Henry Armstrong fought at catchweight back in his day. They did not have 24 hour weigh in's however.

That is a feature of modern television, it's not part of boxing tradition. Catchweights have been around for a 100 years. The 24 hour weigh in only since the 80's.

As for the weight class accomodating him. Manny and Margarito's fight was sanctioned by the relevant governing bodies and the WBC belt organisation. What rules were broken exactly, apart from the ones in your head?

The sport is what it is.

Before signing a fight. Fighters know what the weight divisions are and know the weigh in will take place 24 hours in advance. Right.

So if you can't adhere to those paramaters don't fight in a weightclass that's out of your depth.

Simple.

I agree, and catchweights are part of the sport. Simple.

Right and so BACK TO THE ORIGONAL QUESTION OF THE TREAD which you are avoiding like the plague.

Did pacquiao beat his opponants on the sales?

The answer is... of course otherise he would have fought these guys at their most comfortable weight class.

Pac brings them down to a catch weight for a reason. To weaken them. THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLAINATION.

If he believed he could beat a 154 fighter he'd fight them at 154.

If he thought he could have beat cotto at 147 the fight would have been at 147.

If he thought he could beat ODH at 154 he would have fought at 154.

He didn't think he could win any of those fights at those weights. If he did he would have done them with out the catch weight. It's a no fucking brainer no matter how you try and rationalize it.

And finally mr dildo I take it you want to abolish all weight divisions and do avery fight at whatever the fighters argee.
