No but Phloyd always wants to look for advantages. 147 vs JMM when Phloyd agreed to make 144. what a joke
Yea Pac should have a CATCHWIEGHT DIVISION cus that all he does ever since 08. oh and the ppl that pac faced since are not MONSTER if they are not at their prime. Oscar De La Hoya killed himself to make wieght, and Margocheat.... really? Margocheato aint sh!t after he got cuaght with his plasters and the beat down Mosley gave him and hes SLOW. So no i dont guve him that much credit for those lopsided no risks fight hes been fighting. Hopkins is 46! fighting a 28 year old in his PRIME NO CATCHWIEGHT Pascal! haha how can you say thats not historic? its obvious that you are a pac man cheer leader and not a true follower of the sport of boxing...
i goofed it up , but in reality marquez came in his last fight around 145 . That being the case, the only idfference is he wont be cutting weight when he fights pacquiao. He said himself the catchweight is good. He wont have to worru about Pacquiao reyhydrating another 10-15 pounds come fight night.
Catchweight fights where he is the smaller fighter, or a catchweight fights where he is the bigger fighter? There is a difference between the catchweight fight of Gayweather and JMM and Pac vs. Cotto, Margarito!!!!! Pac is the smaller guy - period. Whereas, Gayweather was the bigger guy in the JMM fight, and he even failed to honor the initial contract of 144. To make it simplier, the scenario is tantamount to asking a 135 fighter to fight at 147 - wait that was done already by Gayweater.
I rather see them fighting at catchweight rather than not fighting at all coz of fear! its understable for pac to fight them at catchweight considering hes the smaller. but it would have been better if not at catchweigh which somehow negated its significance. 145 cotto for welter. max weight 147. 2lbs difference and considering cotto weighed 145 in his prior fight. plus he looked good on this fight. 150 margo for jr midle. max weight 154. for me this fight is nonsense as for a title.
not true....those belts from different weights are repeatedly thrown up as one of the greatest achievements.
