    If team pac wants to keep this pathetic mosley fight on, fine im not buying that anyway. But this talk that it will be at 148 for the 154 belt he picked up:patsch don´t do that, hate will be immense, just do it at 147 for the wbo welterweight belt then.

    The cathweights will damamge his reputation in the long run, it leaves question marks. If Shane can do 147, justhave the fight a 147. And Pac fightsd sell well with or without paper titles attached.

    I think the extra pound's for mosley, pac's gonna come in on fight night at 148 or 149. relax dude, contrary to the nonsense you've been led to believe over the last year catch weights have and always will be a part of boxing. One dudes small, one dudes big, they wanna fight, they agree to a weight in the middle, they give the fans the match up's they would otherwise never see. Pretty simple stuff.

    then to a 153 catchweight or 152, 148 for a 154 belt is ridiculous. It should be 147 for the 147 belt then. Nobody gives a damn about that paper belt anyway, hurting your rep because of it for 1 pound disadvantage is stupid as hell.

    its not bull****, if he fights martinez at 156 for the 160 belt oki or the margarito situation, I dont like it but I get it, fighting mosley just to say it is a light middleweight bout at 148 is just stupid, then do it at 147 for the welterweight, mosley fights at welter anyway.

    Im confused by your point, Mosley is the bigger man if the fight is at 148 as you say , then the bigger older fighter would be better placed.

    How does this benefit Pacquiao ?

    Have you also thought that the sanctioning body might request that both fighters be above the lowerweight class , if it is a title fight.

    It doesnt benefit pac in any way if the fight is at 148 for the 154 belt, Mosley can gain 1 pound big deal it does not make any difference he will lose regardless.
    Im saying that the fight should be at 147, doing a 154 fight at 148 is not smart. Pac should vacate the belt if he never plans on fighting at 154 anyway, welterweight suits him much better and he has not fought at welter for 9 months now, so it seems much more logical to have the fight 147 right?

    I don't understand. Doesn't emmanuel already own a 147 belt? Why not just fight for that ****? Can Mosley no longer make 147?

    if the fight takes place at 148 should just be a fight no title involved pac to me never won the welterweight title cuz that fight was 145lbs and hasnt won the light middle title either cuz that fight was also below the 154lb limit catchweights shouldnt be for titles thats why their catchweights!!!!!
