Aside from Mayweather, and even though Pac naturally is around 145 pounds for a fight, there is really no point in him staying at 147..
Why I say that is he is in a league above everyone else.... Mayweather is similar in size and offers the skill challenge to him... But minus Mayweather, Pac will demolish anyone 147 or below...
For Pac to be seriously challenged, he has to fight bigger fighters.... Manny is obviously not going to put on more weight regardless of whether he's fighting at 147 or 160...
It all just depends on how big the guy is he wants to take on, and what weight they can get that guy to negotiate coming down to... That's the only way he's going to truly challenge himself..
Also I don't have a problem with catch weights at all... ASIDE from when 2 fighters are competing for a belt 3 or 4 pounds above the catch weight set for the fight... I think that's not quite right (however I tolerate opinions arguing for it being okay).
In a way, I don't really consider Pac fighting at 154 "going up to 154".. He's still going to weight 147.. I just considering him "fighting a 154 pound fighter".... So in a way I agree with everyone saying he shouldn't move above 147.. But he can fight whoever the hell he likes above that.. And probably HAS to if Mayweather doesn't man up.
