    why doesnt he fight champions at THEIR weight?
    I dont understand that...

    The greatest fighter of ALL TIME needs to fight at catch weights to drain his oppoenents. That makes no sense to me, how does he deserve any credit for that? If he wants to get credit for beating up "the bigger man" fight them at their natural weight classes.


    How come no one mentions that Ortiz was 16lbs heavier than Mayweather when they entered the ring? But when Margarito is 17lbs heavier than Manny, people are going crazy saying that this is unbelieveable. Just doesnt make any sense.

    Hes drained De La Hoya, Cotto, Margarito (his biggest wins)

    1) he isnt the GOAT

    2) I would suggest that the Barrera and JMM wins were better wins than Oscar and Margo.

    3) He has had 3 catchweight fights. The first when he jumped up 2 divisions to fight Oscar, the against Cotto, then against Margo in a fight no-one really takes seriously. It's hardly all of his opponents!

    this is true

    i guess cause most would agree that margo is better than ortiz

    but then again ortiz was off the biggest win of his career and margo a KO loss lay off and average win

    Ortiz was 16 pounds heavier and definitely quicker than Margo, but the only thing making him seem less serious aa an opponent was his mental game

    I still dont get how oscar is viewed as a catchweight? he jumps up 2 divisions and oscar moved down one, it would be like floyd jumping up to 154 next then 2 divisions after that to 168 to fight hopkins who moves down one and people complain, unreal.
    Thats 2 catchweights and marquez now being number 3. 2 of which favoured other opponents more.

    If Mayweather is so great why is he scared to take a midget on steroids in a fight?
