Timbo Bradley:"Catchweights are pathetic"

catchweights are bull****. hated it when pac fought cotto, thought it was bull**** from the start.

timmeh is right, no sarcasm.

 

All the *****s do.

I'm the biggest ******* on the forum according to most of these floyd blowing 12 year olds.

 

Why? I want to see the best fights possible and, as I said, if Calzaghe and Hopkins met in their primes, 164lbs would be the fairest weight for them to fight at. It would give neither man an advantage and that's the way it should be in big fights.

Obviously both men have to agree but if they do, there's no issue.

 

Exactly.

 

if pac ends up fighting cotto for his 154 belt at another catchweight, no lie i think i'll say **** it and root for cotto.

 

Tell me please (with a straight face), did the 145 pounds have any bearing on Cotto's performance on the night?

 

According to Cotto, it meant nothing.

I am a huge cottard, so I would look for an excuse, but pac is just too good for cotto(not to mention most other fighters in this weight class)

 

nothing wrong with catchweights

some of the all time great fighters fought at catch weights

wasn't chavez vs whitaker at a catchweight?

 

i don't know, probably not, so why ask for it in the first place?

straight up, i'm biased for pac, and the 145 catchweight taints that victory just a lilttle bit. he proved he didn't need it, but even if he lost at 147 to cotto, he would've lost to the bigger man, no shame in that.

that catchweight bs just gives pac haters another target to shoot at.


i like what timmy's saying. es el mas machooooo!

 

He's using Leonard as an example of catch weight fights atsch

 

how did you get so much vcash?

 

how many catchweights did leonard have, 2?

 

I actually disagree. Catchweights, like official weight classes are just arbitrary numbers. Two fighters are rarely built the same way, so even in official weight classes, the weight will favor one fighter over the other. The only difference between a catchweight and official weight is that one was given a title. The only people what would care are those who want to blame losses/wins on the weight.
Now if we're talking title defense at catchweights, well that's the only debatable point, but I wouldn't care either way either. If you are not comfortable making a certain weight, then don't fight in it. If you agreed and lose, it's your own fault, just like if you've trained poorly.

 

vBookie glitch. i pm'ed IB about it to avoid the ban hammer.
