My opinion is that by weighing 144 Pac is trying to maximize his speed, his most important asset against Margarito. Maybe Roach and Ariza have realized that weighing more than around 145 detracts from Pac's advantages in speed.

That could be the thing, like Mosley, but in a different fight as well, against PBF. He threw his best shots, then got disheartened when he realised they weren't going to be enough.

Where as Pac just throws tornado punches from all angles constantly. Normally he's got te fitness to do it all night. Normally......

I personally am disgusted by catch weights. If you are fighting for 154 pound title...then don't limit your opponent to kill himself to try to come in at 150...it cheapens the whole thing. YES...the opponent ultimately agrees to the catch weight...but man up and fight people at the natural weight. Otherwise...i don't see how you fight for and call yourself a 154 pound titlist...when you fought someone at a 150 pound limit?!! I am not a Tony fan at all...he is a cheat, no question. But i hope he wins this fight. Roach and Pac need to have their bubble burst. It's not going to happen...but i am hoping for the upset.
