Catch Weight - Title fight?

[AdamGB]

I've said it before and I'll say it again... if Pac wants to claim that he has a won a belt at welter and beaten a welter weight fighter then he HAS to let them fight at 147...

If he doesn't want to fight a 147 pound fighter then he should stop fucking about with/talking about Welterweights.
There's no shame in simply not being big enough but don't try to mug people off.

You want to move up a weight class then you let the opposition fight at what ever weight within that limit they want... otherwise why should you have the right to their belt if it's not at their weight?...

For example is David Haye trying to get Wlad to fight at a catch weight closer to cruiser weight?

Is he fuck.

Roach knows what he's doing and luckily Pac is such a big draw that the money is enough to tempt these guys to weight drain themselves

If the bout is made, they will step into the ring above the 147 welter limit and not at the catch weight limit. So I'd say you're making a bit too much out of the catch weight as far as insisting Pacquiao fight 147 pounders because isn't what you are effectively saying is that he step into the ring against a bigger fighter to get credit for the win. Welter is 140-147. I read Mosley stepped into the ring against Margarito at 160. (verify) Mosley would surely step into the ring above 154 and Pacquiao below 150. I'd say Roach contractually protecting his fighter is absolutely the right thing to do professionally and the right thing to do morally.

The fair thing for weight classes would be for fighters to step into the ring under the limit, but because of the way fighters try to gain an advantage, the rules are such as they are for safety. The topic is not so pertinent amongst fighters that meet mid range of the weight class but when fighters meet coming from the extremes of the weight class it gets really hot.

Fighters always step into the ring heavier on fight night than the do on the day of the weigh in, this isn't news and it's besides the point.

Do you have any idea how much it takes out of having to force yourself down to a weight for a weigh in? It takes a lot out of you... the further you go from your natural weight the harder it's going to be to rehydrate and refuel afterwards and the weaker you are going to be.

Pac beat in Roach own words "a walking dead man". Rafael Marquez and Israel Vazquez would of done the same. It's not impressive once you look at the facts

Give me a break, Oscar on that night would have killed Rafael or Israel or JMM, Manny was the one who could capatalize on Oscar because of his speed and in and out ability.

It's obvious you never Boxed before. You have no idea the condition Oscar was in. He couldn't defend himself. He was dead. Nobody knew how bad it was except Roach. Roach said it himself the fight would of never happened if Oscar was still a threat. So in reality Pac beat a man who was incapable of fighting back. Wow. How much longer you going to suck his dikk for it?

I asume you're laughing at VD

Of course you can't have a fucking catchweight set inbetween between 200lbs and... 200lbs.

That would be pretty fucking hard.

A catchweight is just any mutually contracted weight, the weight class it falls within is merely a technicality.

The Heavyweight division starts at 200.1lbs and goes all the way up to... fucking infinite lbs.

That's quite a lot of fucking choice if you decide you want to fight at a catchweight that falls within heavyweight.

Haye: I want to fight for your title Wlad. But i don't feel comfortable with you being so heavy. You think you can do me a favor and come in at like 215 or 220?

How stupid is that? Do yourself a favor and admit it was an idiotic example and save what little dignity you have left

That's exactly my point you moron. Thank you. It's exactly what the Pac camp is trying to do because they have the $$$ to get away with it and it stinks.

Apparently we can also add reading comprehension to the list of things too perplexing for VD, along with numeracy.
