How is it possible to win a 147 title belt below the welterweight limit?

[brucelee]

Well first of all this is not an anti-pac thread. I feel Pac would of done the same at 147. I just don't see how he could have won the 147 title at 145.. Usually when a boxer comes 1 or 2 pounds under the limit the titles are not on the line. Which leads me to my question.. What are the rules, can you fight for the 147 title at 140 ? First of all catchweights suck but to be able to win titles at heavier weights without fighting at them is B/S... This opens up all possibilities...

First of all, you are a hater so this thread basically is an anti-pac thread.

Second, there's no provision that you can't win a title when you fight below 147. Besides, 145 was the weight they have agreed upon during weigh-in; definitely not the weight when they fought. Both of them were over 147 when they fought so how could this be not a 147 fight? You will see the logic if you'll remove your hate on Pac.

First point Bollox to the highlighted section.

Here's a link re the weight classes, no one is arguing really that Pac is WW champion, what the point is, is that he is dictating what weight his opponent comes in at , that's not how it works. The sanctioning bodies recognise the classes and should stop supporting catch weights.

Well obviously anything that is or can be negative against Pac and the pac/nut hugers will call you a hater.

I don't understand how "so-called" boxing cant understand weight limits.
There limits!!! They are maximum weights. A fighter weighting 95lbs can theoretically fight another fighter weighing 95lbs for EVERY single weight devision title.

YOu only have to be less then the maiximum weight per division to fight for the title.

Yeah, I may be a fan of Manny but I will say negative things about him when I see his faults. It's clear that you're trying to undermine the belt Manny is currently holding. Why can't you for one moment try to stop on the hating and recognize that there is one great fighter among us.


Sorry but I can't consider yet your boy Mayweather as great because he hasn't really fought a great fight in the current weight he's in. IMO.

I know, Mayweather will be the most difficult fight Pac will have because of styles but that makes him a great fighter. He fights despite the risk. He fights despite the slim chance of success. That's why many of us here have become his fans. You may call me nuthugger because I have been his fan since day one here but Pac has proven already that I'm not wrong for hugging him.lol

If it would be possible though, stop undermining Pac's achievements. It makes you look like a hater of Pac and a hugger of PBF. I don't know which is worse.

lmfao ^... Im not undermining Pacquiaos achivements.. Pacquiao is a great fighter i have stated that before.. When Mayweather came in 2 pounds over weight on Marquez i ranted about it here, i also said how Mayweather called Mosley over and then blamed him for ruining his interview im not a hugger just a huge fan of his skill but i will speak out when he is wrong... this is a weight issue many people here agree with me that the pac should not dictate what weight his opponent should come in when the welter max limit is 147...

I am a healthy fan of Pac. But I know this is going to rile up the Pac fanatics against me. But lets be honest and actually not ignore the facts when it comes to Pac this time. This was just a ploy to make history by way of 7 division titles. This conformed to Pac just like one of his so called belts is actually the Ring Magazine belt. At featherweight, JMM was the world champion and they fought to a draw so JMM remained the champion. Pac was never a featherweight champion! It was JMM. But because the Ring Magazine, yeah a magazine champ, labeled Pac their champ this somehow counts as a divisional champ and sets it possible to make history. One of the 7 divisional belts of Pac's came by way of catchweight and one came by way of magazine. Like I said I am a Pac fan but I do not suppress the truth(and risk becoming a Pactard). But I have been involved with boxing since I was 5 thats why I keep defending it but the phoniness that comes with boxing is worse than any other sport.

The thread starter is not really bright.

141-147 is WW. 141 is the minimum, 147 is the max.

You refer to the thread being an anti pac thread then you refer me to one person in the thread , i don't hate Pac, so should i leave the thread as i may have changes it from anti pac. And your little symbol is very big of you thanks for that very adult of you.

My Bollox comment was in response to you saying a broad comment about the thread. my addition of a link was to help people not sute where the weight limits lie.

Really? During the weigh in they said "Hey how about 145 Cotto?"
