    They did it as a median, not to have as many advantages over the other fighter, or take hope that fighter won't be at there best.

    This must surely go down as one of the greatest comments ever made on Saddo's imo. So all the other catchweights in history were amicable, fair, favouring neither man, apart from Manny's

    Cotto who had to give up a single pound in weight.
    Margarito who was actually allowed to move up a weight class and weigh 4 lbs MORE than he did against Margarito.

    Brilliant. You couldn't make this kind of hate up

    Pacquiao-Mosley Possible at 148, For WBC 154 title


    Do I need to say more??

    Maybe you don't understand what I am trying to tell you, or you choose not to; but Pacquiao has asked for catch weights for about two years now for just about everyone.
    2 of last 3 fights have been catch weights. Or two fights in the last year have been catch weight. If I didn't have to CONSTANTLY see new weights for which Pac wants to fight different opponents maybe it would be different. But he has a different weight for a different fighter.

    Manny has even asked Mosley to come down to LWW before
    The article was written by Lem Satterfield, Michael Marley's equivalent but on the other side.

    The same guy that reported Clottey was at a catchweight. BTW the article did state there is a possiblity but more than likely it will not be at catchweight. Looks like the joke is on you.

    Almost as good as your other post that guys like Leonard, DLH, Chavez that asked for catchweights did it not to gain an advantage but as a median.

    It's either you are for or against it, not pick 1 guy is allowed to do it while another guy can't.
    The joke is on me because there is a possibility for another catch weight fight? Riiiiiiight.
    Obviously I am against catch weight fights. And it's not "it's either you're against them or not" they serve there purposes every once in great awhile.
    Your claim above, which I quoted was that all other catchweight fights in history were fair because they represented a fair compromise to find the best weight.

    This is what you wrote

    So clearly, your problem is not that Manny has taken catchweight fights, but that he manipulates the catchweight fights to drain his opponents.

    So, my question to you is this. What advantage does Manny gain by allowing Mosley to fight at a catchweight?

    He could just fight him at the 147 welterweight limit, the same as Floyd did, the same as Cotto did, and the same as Margarito did.

    But he may, and the key word is may, no confirmation has been made, allow Shane to weigh in over the 147 lbs limit so that the 154 lb belt can also be on the line.

    How does this drain Shane exactly?

    I am interested to hear your response because in your own words, all the catchweights were ok because they didn't drain a fighter. As Manny is letting Shane weigh MORE than he did against his other recent opponents how does he drain him?

    "Those" that I was referring about were the catch weight fights you and Jaz were discussing. "Those" don't include ALL.
    It seems this whole time you guys have been putting words in my mouth.
    Maybe you think I am Mil, but I am not.

    And Shane's last fight was at 154 limit wasn't it? So Mosley is going from 147-154-147 in one year.
