PAC-MARGO in Abu-DHABI

[CFH]

I've been reading people write a bunch of crap about how catch weight are bull shit... making arguments how unfair it is.

What the hell are weight classes for! Are they not to create fairness in the sport? How the hell is it unfair advantage for the smaller man when the advantage is made for the larger man by giving him a more than 24 hour weigh-in period so he can qualify to make the weight to rehydrate safely? Just look at what Mayweather did to Marquez. No one knows what Mayweather weighed because he refused the 'unofficial' weigh-in at "fight time". "The boxing weight-in" has got to be the biggest farce of any sport. What the hell is the boxing commission for? The commissions should call the weight at Fight time "the official weight". And stop the bull shit of the "qualifying weigh-in". How does any of this bull shit promote safety in the sport?

Margacheato should have absolutely no problems with 150lbs when he fought Mosley at 147lbs before getting booted. What did Clottey weigh when he stepped into the ring with Pacquiao? 160lbs+ When the big man wins, he's picking on the little man. When the little man wins, he's using unfair weigh-in tactics.

If you're going to compete for a title in a division (regardless of how illegitimate a "title fight" it is), you should work within the established parameters which all other fighters in that division do. You shouldn't use your economic clout to force the creation of a situation which benefits only yourself.

If Pacquiao, or Mayweather, or anyone else, wants to fight for a title below 150lbs, then fight at welter. There are plenty of big, legacy-enhancing fights there that would mean a fuck of a lot more than beating a known cheat and possibly shot fighter who hasn't looked impressive in the ring in over 2 years.

Simply put, if you're too small for a division then either deal with it or don't fight at that weight. This catch-weight bullshit is absurd, regardless of which fighter is making these sorts of demands and it is only going to serve to mitigate Pacquiao's accomplishments at the higher weights.
