Catch Weight - Title fight?

[KKisser]

yes, the gold plated carrot that they are dangling in front of Mosely is bigger than pac's want for a 7th title.

Any other fighter moving up in weight to challenge the champ would just get laughed at for even asking.

Pac is worth a lot of money which is why these guys will do it, that's the way of the world but I just hope that Pac fan boys realise that he is using more than just his boxing abilities to make a victory happen here and if he does beat another weight drained fighter he's obviously not going to mention this.

It will be a legendary 7th title win but if he manages to weight drain Mosely like he is clearly trying to it should be a tainted one.

ok, how 'bout this? no catchweight, fight at 147lb limit BUT they do it on the condition of same day weigh-in. how well do you suppose that would fly?

Even worse. NO Welterweight save for Manny and maybe Floyd would be anywhere near 147 when they actually step into the ring.

They simply aren't naturally that weight, they can cope with dehydrating to stand on some scales for 5 minutes then rehydrating... they can't be in that state for hours and fight.

That's why they got rid of same day weigh ins... fighters were exhausting themselves doing it and getting rid of the fluid that protects the brain... Dehydration/Fatigue = Brain Damage.

i know they place the system there to protect the fighters, but then these fighters take advantage of it thru weight cuts. so, same day weigh-in would show mosley and others aren't fighting at their natural weight. why then would pac fight a middleweight wherein he's the natural welter? a catchweight then would be necessary to make it interesting and even the playing field, otherwise teampac would be giving away too much advantage to these bigger opponents. he could still possibly win but then that would also be at the expense of endangering his own health against fighters who should have been naturally in a heavier weight division. roach also has the right to protect his fighter.

and btw, same day weigh-in doesn't necessarily mean they'd be fighting at 147lb. they'd still have time to rehydrate although they would have a shorter time to do it.
