What do you think of Catch weights?

Answer me this: if Pacquiao can fight Dela Hoya at 147. Then why not Cotto, or Mosley

Because Oscar was weight drain at 147 and 35 years old at the time of the match. Age plus the weight Oscar has to come down to equals just a moving target. Cotto at 147 is at his best and in his prime and a more dangerous fight, but a weight drain Cotto would only be half as effective. We all know why Cotto had to move up from 140 to 147 because he was weak and could barely make weight.

Pac is the boss. He dictate the terms. If they want the money, they're gonna have to come down and REALLY earn it, and not the other way around. Pac gambled his reputation fighting the now ex-cash cow DLH, and now they're gonna have to do the same thing for Pac.

Too bad the BOSS now is a smaller man... Bigger boxers has to drain themselves in order to get a fight with the BOSS...

dont mind them in general if its your regular boxing contest.

But big PPV fights should ALWAYS be for said championship of the world!

Spoils the whole aura of the event if this supposed super fight isnt even for a title!!

Of course The BOSS won't put himself too much of a disadvantage by giving too much weight to the bigger for he is The BOSS... The BOSS wants even playing field....
