    why you dissin on pac when it's mosely who wants to fight him at 140? :lol:

    pac wants to fight them at catch weight as a guarantee that they wont balloon up to 160+ fight night. What makes you think pac fighting mosely or coto at 147 fair? :yep

    Yes it would. He simply fights them at a weight they are 100%.

    145 would probably be the best limit for both. Although Cotto would be close on the edge.


    If its the weight advantage that doesn't make it fair.

    Then, Im sorry but weight advantages happen in boxing. Fighters add weight on after the weigh in. People are concerned with Cotto adding 12lbs when Pac was adding 15lbs at 130. They didn't care then but now it matters to them?

    What about the fact that Floyd is currently weighing less than what Pac last fought at? No one cares about that. Despite the fact that Floyd would be giving up even MORE weight.

    same thing we can say to those who voted for 147. they're only interested in pac losing, right?

    i'm not really in favor of these catchweights, but i ask you eze, at what weight do you think they should fight to make it fair for both of them?


    edit: it think you already aswered my question (at 145).

    Therefore he should fight @140 and stop holding genuine sized WW's to randsome , or just simply move to 147 and accept he is small for the weight class !!!!!!!!!!!!!! , ala Floyd Mayweather ...................

    When did I diss on pac?

    Lie again much?


    Pac wants a guarantee they won't balloon up? So fighting these guys at catchweights automatically means they won't go back up to their normal weight?

    :lol: The only way they wouldn't weigh the same (which Mosley was 160 against Margo) for him to weigh that would be if he lost muscle mass which would be unhealthy. So either Mosley is going to lose muscle mass and thats not good, or he's going to kill himself making weight.

    He'll still weigh 160 if he kills himself to do it but he'll still weigh 160.

    Basically you are saying you dont want Pac to fight at 147 because he has to actually face WWs who are at 100%

    Who do you think between PAC and Mosley will dictate the terms of the fight? It's Mosley who is desperate in chasing a fight with PAC so he must come to PAC's territory which 140 division and will agree to PAC's terms...:D

    Whether Shane feels he can do it or not, I don't ... he can't go down to that weight and hope to be at his best, which he will need to be to meet Pacquiao, who excels at that weight now.

    If Pac beats Mosley at that weight, which he most likely would, what credit can you give Pac for the win?

    If he fights either Mosley, Cotto or Mayweather at 147 and wins, how could you not give him credit?

    147 would be fair.

    Both are at 100%.


    By weighing in at 145 or 144 you are pushing the limits of what these fighters can drain. Thus even lower they are going to really hurt themselves.

    On top of this I said it before. People are caring that Pac is fighting someone is who is adding 10+lbs after the weigh in, but its now only a factor because its against Pac. But when Pac was adding 15lbs. It was fine to the same people complaining.


    At anything lower than 145, they are going to kill themself making weight.

    At 145 Pac gains nothing but hope that they have either lost some muscle mass which is unhealthy or that they aren't 100% from cutting too much weight.

    Let's say Cotto fights Pac at 145 and doesnt lose muscle mass to make weight, he just cut more water weight and is fine.

    What did Pacquaio gain? Nothing, Cotto still will weigh in at fight night the same he always does. The same being for Mosley.

    Okay? Size differences aren't part of boxing? If he's too big. Why fight him at all.

    When are you going to answer my question?
    What's fair at anything lower than 145/147?

    **** at 145 both Cotto and Mosley are going to weigh the same they normally do come fight night. The only risk they take at 145 is that they cut more weight and hurt themselves.


    So what does Pac gain by fighting at lower than 147 besides fighting a fighter at less than 100%?
