Principled? They agreed on it. You also don't ask some one to go 2 weight classes TO YOU, while you don't make weight yourself. That is unprincipled.
Floyd do make the agreed contracted weight. You unprofessional and unrespectful chicken ****. Remember for the Pacquiao fight, if you don't make 147 there's no more fight.
lol....i agree that you shouldnt make the champ of a weight division come down or fight a catchweight...its just utter bullshyt but i also agree that you shouldnt do what Floyd did either...lol...that was some bullshyt too.
I don't think either are BS, but I think the whole catch weight situation is BS. People down Floyd, but when he moved up in weight he did not do all the catch weight BS he just fought at the normal weight. When Manny signed to fight DLH, Freddie implemented the catch weight nonsense to weaken DLH. Floyd moved up to the weight DLH had fought at for lets say the last 9 years (junior middle) and won against a replenished DLH. If Manny fights DLH at 147 and allows DLH to rehydrate I think the fight goes to DLH. I like both fighters, but people forget that Floyd did his thing also, minus the catch weight BS!
You can see clearly from the illustration here. X = 147 lbs. Pac is going up in weight in higher proportion than Oscar or Cotto: Their last weights before Pac-DLH. Pac=134, DLH=150. Pac even fought only at 135 once. |============X==| Their last weights before Pac-Cotto. Pac=138, Cotto=146: |======X|
wasn't cotto done after the margo beating? so its useless to fight him at 147. at least at 145, floyd fans have an extra excuse why cotto lost.
I am so confused as to why you have Pacquiao as an avatar...I've seen you do nothing but bash him. It's like me saying I wish the little girl in my picture was never born...
FYI, team Catchiao wanted a 143 catchweight, as usual, Roach demanded the opponent come in weight drained. They negotiated at a max of 145 as team Cotto argued that Miguel coud not fight safely below that weight.
This isn't even debatable. Floyd comes out of "retirement" to fight a guy with TWO fights @ 135 and wants him to jump up another two weight divisions and comes in OVER THE CATCHWEIGHT to boot. That is one ***** move if ever I've seen it.
Floyd. 1) It was more of a ***** move to bring a fighter up two weight divisions than to bring him down two pounds. 2) Pacquiao didn't break the agreement. Floyd implied he would fight at a weight and then didn't.
I love how these joyboys always thinks that pac did the bull**** thing while floyd making a lightweight jmm fight at 144 and then not making the agreed weight and just paying off jmm is not even a bull****. pac beating cotto even at 145 was a great win. floyd beating jmm at 144 and not honoring the agreed weight is the bull**** of all bullshits.
