Bob Arum in May 2009: "Mayweather (vs Pac) would be at a catch weight, 144-145"

hoho.

are you not the pbf fan who insisted that pbf and mosley can fight at a catchweight?

are you not the pbf fan who insisted that pbf is a really a small welter and can in fact make jww when he wants too.

are we singing a different tune nowadays? :rofl

 

this is what i'm talking about. if he's a small WW, pac's small WW.. why not make it at a lower weight like 144-145lbs where they can both perform like they supposed to?

 

precisely.

pbf fans always were harping on the fact that pbf is a small welter so that justifies his ducking of margo, mosley and cotto.

lets be hones guys. pac, with the amount of food he eats everyday weighed only 144 the last time. he weighed 138 versus hatton. and that is for a140 fight.

that is already an indication that his optimum maximum fighting weight is around 140. 144/145 is pushing it imo.

now the floydettes are singing a different tune.

 

Is Mayweather afraid of 1 or 2 pounds lighter?

 

Wait, so when you tell me I'm wrong and you were right. And I go with that Mayweather is suited for 147 now. It's wrong?

Lmao. Hypocrite scatter

 

don't you realize how idiotic you sound.

just months before, you insisted that pbf and mosley can fight at a catchweight but i called you out on that since how can both of them welterweights fight in a catchweight considering both of them are full welters.

you insisted that pbf is a small welterweight blah blah blah.

now pac, who is at most a jww asking for a catchweight against pbf in the same manner that he he got a catchweight against cotto.

and now upon seeing pbf climb around 158-160 against jmm, you want it to be at 147 you idiot.

 

:rofl. and now that you see pbf climb the ring at 158/160 against jmm, you do not want a catchweight versus pac who is really the size of jmm.

jmm-pac are the same size. lets face it. jmm came in at what, 143. pac came in 144. pac came in at 138 versus hatton.

145 is the perfect catchweight for them since you insisted before that pbf is a very small lightweight and he can make 140 anytime he wants to.

 

Where did you get 158/160?

 

Manny is the WBO WW champion.


He didn't win the Diamond belt.

Fight at 147. He's more than capable.

 

no catch weight. Floyd is not notorious for coming in heavy like cotto or clottey.

I wouldnt be intersted in the fight at all if it wasnt at 147 to be honest. **** that ****. Moving up to face a fighter mean moving up, thats why so much glory is associated with that....... Why does pac want the glory of facing a bigger man, without actually facing a bigger man??? it sure seems like that

 

eze, there is a reason why pbf did not tell people his weight during the fight itself.

jmm, who looked very small compared to pbf during the fight came in at 148/149 during fight night.

pbf weighed in at 146. as welters normally rehydrate in all probability, pbf gained about 12-14 pounds come fight night.

i know, you probably think pbf came in at 148 come fight night. :rofl

 

Why does the WW Champ want to defend his title at a weight below the WW limit?

 

If Pac is defending his title, there should be no catchweight. Manny should have to conced something if they were to fight at a catchweight. The WW limit is 147, not 145.

 

it should really be quite simple, manny is challenging mayweather not the other way around at least i think? fk i dnt know anymore but if manny wants to be the best p4p he cant expect everyone to come down to meet him hell u wanna be the best go up and fight the best at their weight if u cant handel it then obviously it probably means you should stay at your own weight.

 

Nice avatar. Pac amazes me everytime I fight, but I have to say that if he is the WBO WW Champion, he should defend the belt at 147, which is the weight limit. Weight shouldn't even be an issue. If Pac wants to come in at 144-145, that's his business. Floyd would probably come in at 146-147. It's not really a big deal.

I think the thing is Pac is a big boy. They should just make the fight and let the best man win. Both fighter have proved to be the most versatile fighters of their era, and it does tarnish Pac a bit to try to get Floyd down to 145. Pac is amazing as a WW just like he was at the other weights, and he can handle other WW's.
