Yes or No Poll regarding Catchweights

[JT Rock]

I dont mind if its a rare occasion...

Most are growing quite weary of Manny "Pander for Catchweight' Pacquiao

If you wanna fight the best in the higher weight class than fight that fighter were he is strongest, he's already making a living at that weight and is flourishing. If not than stay in your own weight class.

It's really quite simple.. The rigors an bigger guy has to go thru to boil down in weight leaves him drained and not as vibrant or 100% The guy moving up can diet better and not deprive himself of the substance and fortitude his body needs to operate at optimal level. There is no abuse of dehydrate, steam rooms, no water. Etc

Like I said an occasional Catchweight is fine but when a fighter and his trainer are trying to blatantly cheat history by chooching a 7th title from a weaken drained fighter is pathetic and exhausting

I'm pretty sure all of the members here pretty much know that I'm not a Pacman fan. But when did he ever fought at a catch weight? The Oscar fight? That was at a 147 pound limit. Oscar and Pacman was 3 weight classes apart. So they met at the welterweight limit. I don't think it's reasonable to expect a guy to jump 3 weight classes. No boxing fan would want any fighter to jump from 135 to 154 for a mega fight, for it would be too one sided of a fight.

UH No, I'm talking about Pac and Roach wanting Cotto and Mosely at catchweight or no fight.. DLH was fine at 147 but not those guys

Roach said he would fight Floyd at 147, how come not the rest

He already stated he wouldnt let pac fight at a weight disadvantage... then why try to call out a Welter then?

[The Congressman]

I don't remember Pac or Roach calling out anyone after the Hatton. I think it's the other way around. These bigger guys are whoring out for Pac and would fight Pac at catchweight because of the money.
