I just don't think PBF would be schooled by Oscar. Hell no! A KO maybe, but schooled? Nahhh...Originally Posted by Smashup

Spot-on Of all the boxers in the planet, Mayweather is the last person whos willing to go to school. He has is own boxing school and many has learned from itOriginally Posted by spine_buster
Nice post Amat, although Mayweather has never reach 154, form what i hear, he had to eat his way up to 147 for the baldi fight (weighing in at 145!).Originally Posted by amat
So im assuming he has a fair bit of eating to do, which worries me

Well I might be wrong, but you don't have to be above 147 to fight for the 154 title do you? I always thought that you could come in at whatever weight you wanted to come in at so long it's under 154. I remember Oscar was talking about fighting Vargas I think it was, Vargas saying the fight would be at 160. Oscar said that Vargas could come in at 160, but Oscar would just come in at 153 or 154 and beat him. Don't know, would like some clarification on that though.
It is going to be a big one - but I think calling it the biggest fight in boxing history is just not true.
Oscar is past his best, they are at lighter weights and only hardcore boxing fans know about it.
Sullivan v Kilrain, Jeffries v Johnson, Dempsey v Carpentier, Louis v Schmeling, Frazier v Ali, Foreman v Ali and Tyson v Spinks were all much bigger fights.
At the lower weights: Robinson v LaMotta, Turpin v Robinson, Hearns v Leonard, Leonard v Duran, Hagler v Hearns (just to name a few) were all bigger to IMO?

X your right the biggest fight of all time, my aunt Mildred. That distinction goes to the second Luois Schemelling fight which was the biggest thing in broadcasting history. There were more tuned in than the moon landing, thats what you call a BIG Fight.

If a fighter weighs above the limit, he is considered overweight which means he belongs to the higher division (one notch higher). For example, if Mayweather weighs more than 147 pounds which is the welterweight division... He is already considered a Super Welterweight/Junior Middleweight (154). Actually his next fight is at 154. So against Oscar dela Hoya , he should weigh between 147.1-154 at the official weigh-in in order to qualify for the championship. Because if not, the champion has the choice to decide if the fight should happen or not. And if he opted to continue, he should remain the champion wheter he wins or loses the fight. Hope that helps!Originally Posted by amat
They say when Armstrong boxed for the Middleweight title he weighted 9 / 12
