    This is a serious question because of many boxing fans have called Manny Pacquiao a pussy and coward for wanting to fight Cotto at a catchweight, which would be his first. To be fair I never considered the Oscar fight a catchweight because you can't expect someone to jump 3 weight classes from 135 to fight you when you called him out and it was at the 147 ww limit. So there are endless discussions about the Pacman for or against him in every boxing forum.

    So is Manny Pacquiao bad for boxing? Would boxing be better if Manny Pacquiao never picked up the sport?

    Discuss.
    Of course it wouldn't be better off with out manny Pacquiao, he's a nice guy with a pleasing style who likes to stay active and take big fights and he has achieved a lot. That doesn't mean that his actions can't and won't be scrutinised or criticised though and I get the feeling that this thread is a knee jerk reaction from you to that. Sort of trolling (as has been said) I guess.

    Trying to make us stop and appreciate the guy for the brilliant boxer that he is isn't going to stop us from telling a few home truths when it comes to his recent business/negotiation actions I'm afraid...

    and yeah... ODLH was at Welterweight... not a catchweight... so he gets credit for beating him... only at Welterweight and not at his normal Light Middle. Same as if he beats Cotto at a catchweight then he just gets credit for beating him at a catchweight... not Welterweight. It really is that simple.
