    Kurd, if Cotto wants to come in at any weight below 147, hat is his choosing. Cotto wants big money, and if he agrees to 143 or 145, so be it. Pac shouldn't be able to stipulate the weight, and have Cotto put his title on the line, even if they agree. fans will see this as PAc trying to gain an advantage. The fans will speak on this issue if Cotto loses, trust me.

    It is, but not really because we all knew Hop would make 158, and that Hop wanted the big money fight.

    Stipulations or not, as long as they agree consensually at catchweight w/ the title, I don't think there is problem. Cotto is a good sport. He never whined after that questionable loss from Margo.

    Please don't act like an idiot! I don't care about those 34 pages, i can't read them all. Why do you have to insult me when I only wanted to be clarified on your earlier post that seemed to imply that you were asking the boxing bodies to issue clear rule (according to your own words) prohibiting weight limitations below division limits in title fights? Please note that I quoted the specific part in bold for emphasis. Dude, I came here for fun and to learn about boxing from experts like you and not to engage in trash talks with anybody, so, no insults please!

    This Onepunch guy who appointed himself as CARETAKER of boxing should not be taken seriously. For all his incredible claims about himself as a promoter or something, he exhibited in this thread his lack of boxing knowledge. Just ignore him.

    my bad. I thought you were that dip**** Kurdapoo who has been saying the same stupid **** over and over again.

    What I am doing is lobbying the powers that be to clarify their intent with the weight limits of weight divisions. I have a fundamental problem with a welterweight title (or any title) being at stake, at a weight limit contracted less than the set limit of the division, regardless if the parties agree or not. If you want to fight for the welterweight title, then you should not be able to prevent your opponent from coming in at the maximum weight allowed in that division.

    catchweights are fine, but only in non-title fights......

    Thats what I'm trying to do...........

    Hail to the Saviour of Boxing!!!!! :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl :good Seriously, if you can succeed in reforming boxing, I'll take everything about you. Meanwhile, I'm not yet convinced that you're real because of your apparent lack of knowledge in boxing rules.

    dude, give it a rest. I am well versed in the rules and regulations of this sport. You just happen to have a closed mind on the topic of differing interpretations of what "up to 147" means. You think you are right, and thats the end of the discussion. I think I am right, so I am lobbying the powers that be to clarify their intent so the language doesnt stay ambiguous and give fodder to nimrods like you.

    And no matter how many times you say the same stupid thing over and over and over and over and over again, it doesnt make you any less wrong. You're a dip****, regardless of your opinion on the topic.

    A fight at 143 or 145 is within the WW limits of 141-147 hence, a legit WW fight even if it would be a title fight. IMO, there should be no problem about it happening unless of course if it would give a decisive advantage to one of the protagonists. On the case at hand, Cotto would have the advantage at 147 while it would be Pac at 143. Perhaps 145 is fair as Cotto is agreeable to it but unfortunately for Pac, he should take the fight at 147 even at size disadvantage because he won't get any credit beating Cotto at less than that weight.

    Your interpretation is wrong, bro. The fact that boxing bodies approved catchweight fights as title fights proved you even more wrong. Accept the fact that you got it wrong. When they said "up to 147", it does not mean "at 147." That's simple English.

    This is clear as daylight, 1Punch. "Up to 147" does not mean "at 147."
    I hate to be repetitive but..... you're wrong. :rofl

    145 is a catchweight (contracted weight) proposed by Cotto, moron!
