    What catch weight are you talking about? :? Noone is talking about catch weight in this thread in the first place.

    It's a different case.

    Manny Pacquiao underdog status was even more pronounced because of his huge size handicap.

    Are you talking about a potential Mayweather fight? If Floyd wants to prove he's the best of the decade, he needs to come back and beat Manny. He needs Manny for legacy sake, not the other way around, because Pac is already the best fighter of the decade, and will only increase the gap from here. Therefore Floyd has to fight at a catch-weight if he wants the fight, we all know he can make the weight.

    Absolutely, people are making too much out of the fact that Pac beat Oscar. Oscar was shot just like Castillo. Pacs never faced anyone like Hatton

    Yeah, all it took was one body shot.
