    It's more difficult for Juan to fight at the full 147.

    Surprised this isn't actually being fought at 150 for Pacs belt.

    catchweights themselves aren't the problem. It's how they're used and how they manipulate weights to favor them

    True,if a fighter takes a risk like Cotto and Oscar they can only blame themselves,they coudl have said no CW and fought someone else..

    I think Ward should have went up in weight, but a catchweight would have been fair in that fight

    At CW it would benefit no one since both Pac and Marquez would weigh around 200 lbs

    Surprise, surprise. Pac only fights at the weight which will most benefit him.

    Cotto? 145
    JMM? 147

    Won't make a difference these guys are the same size. If Pac comes in too heavy it just means he's not in good shape.
