    :patsch

    My...my... aren't we being melodramatic? Is 151 within the weight division, yes or no? Does the person that is being asked to submit themselves to the agreed upon weight have the right to say yes or no? So if they say yes aren't they just as GUILTY as the people asking for the catch weight? It seems that the Pretty One agreed to his catch weight with Marquez. He just didn't care that 2 lbs cost him $600,000. You might want to include Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions in your rhetoricial question. :thumbsup:hat

    150-154 is Jr. Middle. If catchweights are illegal they wouldn't be around for so long. The commission has nothing to do with it as long as these guys come in the weight limit so in general this is legal and both camps agree to it. If Margarito feels screwed he wouldn't take the fight.

    Because gayweather didn't have the upper hand in the negotations but odlh did.

    Hence floyd couldn't demand pillow grant gloves, judges, ring, weight or and blood testing ****** ****.

    Trust if he could of...he would..

    You're making it seem like Margarito has many choices.

    Of course he agreed, he doesn't have a license to fight in the US, yet he gets an offer to fight the P4P best for a title, as well as probably getting his highest payday.

    Paul Williams is still around.

    And if he can't balloon to 154, he shouldn't be fighting in that division.

    Yeah, but Mayweather was fighting a 34 year old fighter coming off of a 1 year layoff. You won't see Pac fighting any 34 year old fighters coming off of a 1 year layoff. And if he did, and won, the win would be discredited just like Mayweather's over Hoya. Weight is overrated. It's all about age and activity.
