    I don't really care much either way, but i would prefer for Pacquiao's own sake if he would scrap the catchweight nonsense. It isn't necessary so it only subtracts from his own achievement in winning.

    ^^

    I don't know who that guy is but i nearly **** my pants when i saw the one he had the other day, hilarious. :lol:

    Sam Langford > Manny Pacquiao

    Holyfield never asked Bowe and Lewis for a catchweight.

    Yeah I can't defend that. I watched part of the the Mayweather-Mosley post-fight interview and he said, "He knows where to find me". As soon as Pacquiao wants the fight he goes a week without saying anything:patsch. Just terrible.

    its for a vacant title that nobody cares about. Margarito didn't care that he had to drop 3 pounds. Cotto didn't care that he had to drop an extra 2.

    so everyone just STFU

    Tell Floyd Mayweather to sign the contract. And Pacquiao KOing via damage accumulation is not fishy unless you believe what a crack head believes. :rofl

    Just to refresh everyone's memory Pacquiao fought 3 times at welter. KO'd 2 of his 3 opponents.

    What's your point? He was KOd when he was a teenager and had a draw against Sanchez who should've been disqualified. :?

    and it wasn't a "knockout" just like the hatton fight, it was a referee stoppage due to accumulation (cotto and dela hoya).
    wonder where's uliuli?

    Nah! He was 18 when he was KOd for the 1st time and 21 the 2nd time around but how is this relevant to the thread?

    You can't argue with facts though:


    Also, Margarito's one previous fight was at 154, before that he had been at 147 for years and years.

    Before Floyd, Oscar had been at 154 for what, about 5 years or so?
