Pacquiao's Imminent Return... and another damned catchweight.

The Marquez article includes a bit about Pacquiao, and another damned catch weight.

 

the cowards choice

 

Nothing wrong with catch weights. I don't really even recognize all the junior and super divisions. Catch weights just allow both fighters to make weight easier.

 

Or one fighter in particular...

 

Don't really think this makes much of a difference, Alvarado or whoever are fighting at 140 anyway and in the ring are bigger than pacquaio anyway.

 

Why should there be a catchweight? They're all the same size and noone would have to come in at the limit of 147 if they don't want they can weigh less anyway so why a goddamn catchweight?

 

Catch weight King.

 

Seems unnecessary. Stupid but probably doesn't change much either way.

 

Arum said whoever gets the fight with Pacquiao would move to an undetermined catch weight of more than 140 pounds but less than 147 pounds.

manny is a desperate disgrace

 

It's no big deal. It's not like this is the same as what happened with De la Hoya. Alvarado and Rios already come in the ring close to 160 or so (forgot what their weights were). It'll be easier for them to make weight too fighting above 140.

 

in this case it's for manny to gain a lame advantage

 

PAC came in at 147 the past 2 fights. If anything it's a disadvantage for him.

 

This won't favor Pac though

 

How? JMM KO'd Manny weighing in around 144, and Alvarado just fought at 140. Bradley might have an issue but he's not naturally big either.

 

They're bigger than manny. manny believes draining bigger guys helps him. Cotto and marg

Doesn't Alv rehydrate 15-20 pounds?
