    I dont agree with Pac getting the catchweight but I think it's actually a good fight. Even though Margorito dosent deserve a big fight like this.

    The double standard is ridiculous. I will never understand how this guy always seems to get a pass. Imagine if FMJ was doing this. This site would crash.

    Pernell Whitaker vs. Julio Cesar Chavez for the welterweight title at a catchweight of 145 pounds. Enjoy watching the fight again and then let's hear you guys ***** about these 2 legends. Then we can truly see if this catchweight hate is reserved only for Manny Pacquiao or for all boxers alike. :hey

    BECAUSE HE IS THE SMALLER MAN ASKING A BIGGER MAN TO GO DOWN.

    MAYWEATHER WAS THE BIGGER MAN ASKING A SMALLER MAN TO COME UP.

    ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ANIMALS.

    If Pac asked Juan Diaz to fight him at 144, then it is comparable.

    How can you fault the smaller boxer?

    The article reinforces the fact that Pac is a warrior in the ring but a total ***** at the bargaining table. Everything has to be stacked in his favour or else its a no go. With his bargaining levarage, due to his accomplishments and popularity, he will get almost any fighter to obey his hissy fit demands. Marg and Cotto are prime examples. Catch weights should be abolished. You want to be called the conquerer of a weight division, you fight within its limits.
