Pacquiao's catchweights

Cotto - shamefull catchweight. shame on pacquiao

Margarito - Still a catchweight but Margarito is really just a big WW and not a 154 and hes said that before. shouldnt of been a CW but not THAT bad

Oscar - Pac had to jump up 2 weight classes and Oscar come down 1. both agreed to the terms and Oscar was the a-side so he had to propose some of it, no wrong for this one

 

Cotto was just 2 pounds and I don't think was going to make any difference. Just like Floyd with canelo it was mainly to gain a slight psychological edge imo

Margarito was a way bigger fighter and manny Had no business at the weight. I have no problem with the catchweight

Oscar was the A side and being thr much bigger man, he was happy to go down, as Manny was obviously the underdog and jumping a couple of weights. Oscar looked like absolute sh1t and was likely very overtrained, but it was his call and wasn't a catchweight

I do think catchweights are BS, as we have enough divisions in boxing, but Manny beats the above 3 regardless at that time. Prime Oscar would eat him up at 147

 

DLH was so drained, he weighed less than Pac fight night. It was all about the money. It was worse than a catchweight, DLH had not fought at that division in 7 years. I have no doubt in my mind prime DLH beats prime Pac as Marquez and Morales did. DLH was better than both.

 

If you type "who's the catchweight king" Google says Pacquiao.

WTF does google know.

 

Yeah, Pac a catchweight and roided. He the only one in history that done it. Of course!

 

When I was a kid, my Aunt T told me about a swimming pool that was-oop-wait a minute, Amazon package-


...Okay, I'm back. Anyway, it was the Sharewood girl and her younger brother Jeb that come down every Sunday for Bible school and snacks. Why, we'd just eat the most delectable snacks with cheese and relishes, condiments aplenty. It was the best time. But the Sharewood girl said it was too hot for Bibling that day and she wanted to take us kids swimming by the pool Aunt T told us all about. I-dammit, I gotta go. I think my sofa cushion covers are here this time. They were supposed to send them in the same package to be eco-friendly! This is truly beyond the pale! I will be back soon, I hope but I am going to publish this comment unfinished for now so that you know I am engaged in your thread and here is a tbd at the right-handed corner of the comment box: tbd (to be dondinued)

 

LMAO the meltdowns in this thread

 

Oscar was not drained, he worked the whole camp to lose the weight, walked around and trained in it and Pacquiao also jumped up 2 weight classes dont know why you forget that. Morales fought a out of prime pacquiao, pac wrote the wrong of just fighting in a straight line in the rematch and oscar isnt half the counter puncher than marquez was mr casual

 

Revisionism changed that Oscar win.
Back then it was viewed like this before the fight

Cherrypick gone wrong on oscars part.
Would have been like Canelo dragging crawford up to 160 and getting his ass kicked.

 

Pac really is the guy who made Catchweights mainstream. There were catchweights before in other eras, but they were more common around the epic rise of Manny Pacquiao. Credit though to Pac, he was a smaller dude who took on much bigger challenges than most, and made it possible for smaller talented fighters to want to move up higher weight classes and test their greatness against elite bigger men. He set the bar high. But a fight with Floyd in 2010 would have been Legendary.

 

Strong ******.

Oscar wasn’t a catchweight, it was at 147, that’s not a catchweight. Oscar had a rematch set with Floyd at 147, his last fight was a catchweight with Steve Forbes at 150, Floyd backed out so he made Pac jump up 2 divisions.

Hatton was a fight at 140, his prime undefeated, lineal weight.

cotto was a catch weight but tbh, by that point, Pac was trying to figure out if 147 was a fluke. Cotto weighed 156 his previous fight, weighed 155 for the fight and said he was not drained in the slightest for the fight, he looked amazing too, so no excuses there.

margarito, lol, one of the biggest WW ever, who gives a fk.

 

Which Floyd would have lost.

 

He had like 2 catchweight fights neither really affecting the final outcome.

 

Pacroid.
