    Why do so many people believe the higher weight fighter should call all the shots.Pac should make all of these bigger fighters meet his demands or just keep fighting guys his own size.Pac might weigh 147 at times but he will never have the height or reach of a true welterweight.

    If Pac wants WW tittle then fight at that weight.
    Same day weigh in inforced for both fighters, no the BS prior day weigh in.

    In a perfect world because they hold the belt in whatever division that may be.

    In the real world we all know whoever has the money appeal, can usually dictate.

    Who said like was fair :rofl

    Pac opened himself up to this by fighting Oscar at 147. If he doesn't want to fight Shane at 147 he has to explain why he would fight ODLH there and not Shane, and he doesn't want to do that because if he does, it tarnishes his win against ODLH.

    Just like PBF, who also isn't a true WW but went up there chasing a belt against Baldomir and money against OLDH. Now he's stuck there with true welterweights calling him out.

    If there is not much difference betwee 144-145 vs 147, then why not 144 to be fair? :hat

    bernard hopkins is #2 or 3 p4p, so him not fighiting david haye at cruiserweight puts into doubt his rating?

    pac is a very small welter since his fighting weight is about 148-149. mosley, on the other hand is a large welter coming in 160 during fights. that's why this fight has to happen at a catchweight just to somewhat compensate for the very big size diffference (149 vs. 160) between them.

    easy.

    1 dlh went down in weight from from his last fight to meet pac at 147. mosley fought at 147 at his last fight.

    2 dlh owned boxing then. pac should thank dlh for going down to 147 for him

    3 pac dicates what he wants now. fighting dlh at 147 is not the same as fighting mosley at 147. it does not bring the same money. even if 60% goes to pac.

    4 why the herll should pac explain anything? roach already did. they thought that dlh could not pull the trigger anymore, specially at 147. that's why they fought him.

    5 how does not fighting mosley at 147 tarnish his win over dlh? it's not related at all.

    6 why hasn't mosley called out paul williams to come down again to 147:-(. or even say he wants the winner of clottey-cotto? instead he's prostituting himself for a shot at a smaller guy.


    yall are dogging pac for not fighting at 147 when mosley is clearly picking on a smaller guy instead of fighting true welters.

    difference is that 147 is mosley's natural weight. both dlh and pac weren't natural 147-lbers when they fought @147. pac went up two weight classes from 135 while dlh went down 1 from 154. pac is now comfortable @140 but 147 (mosley's current weight class) is still above his natural weight. that's why pac and mosley should therefore meet halfway (catchweight) which is but fair considering that mosley comes in @160 while pac @around 148 for fights.

    The fight with Hoya at 147 was at a catch weight. Hoya is a 154 fighter, Mosley is a 147 fighter.
