Floyd explains catchweights to Miguel Cotto

I just don't think it's worth the trouble for Pacquiao fans to throw out the Cotto win simply to slate Floyd's fight with Alvarez (which is essentially what you'd be doing). Aside from the Barrera destruction, that's right up there with his very best career wins and performances.

 

when do you guys actually listen or care what fighters/promoters say lol.

 

If only *******s had recognition of data, time space, rationality......boxing

Then I could see your point

 

Floyd also said before this that he thought Clottey beat Cotto.

So anyone reading into and continually bringing up the "I look at Cotto as undefeated" quote is simply not a smart person.

Like all boxers, they will say anything at the time for the maximum appeal.

Everybody views Pac's win over Cotto as one of his very best. Don't be hypocrites now and try to hold a double standard to Floyd.

 

When it fits their agenda.

 

Who's this "everybody"? The very same people who criticized Pac for the
catchweight vs cotto are now defending Floyd.

Look up the words hypocricy and irony and then go over what you just posted:deal

 

So you take a significant amount away from Pac's win over Cotto then? Cool. I disagree, but whatevs.

You think Oscar is a ***** for demanding a 156 pound catchweight against Hopkins, the 160 pound champion?

Think less of Khan for draining Diaz down to 143?

Think less of Matthysse for taking a catchweight with Peterson at 141 pounds?

And less of Ortiz's win over Berto for the 146 pound catchweight?

I believe Henry Armstrong had a couple catchweight fights too. I guess you'd think less of those victories too.

Damn...

 

All I'm saying is that even the most critical person of the catchweight Pac used on Cotto doesn't hold so much significance in it that they don't value it as one of Pac's best wins. It is routinely ranked as one of his 3 or so best victories, even by those who seemed to give him a hard time for it.

Edit: But if you want to consider all catchweight fights as No Contests, by all means.

 

Well then you'd be a hypocrite for agreeing to some of those but not all...

Absolutely. Just like we shouldn't believe anything those fighters say in regards to their opinions about certain things.

Saying and doing are two different things. You don't have to believe he "wants to clean up the sport." But he IS making sure drug testing is done for his fights, so one could draw the conclusion he is in some way, to whatever degree, cleaning up the sport.

Actions. They are different than words.

 

Who has enough time to care about this?
It's not like its 10 pounds it's 2 pounds you mugs.

 

Pac can explain the catchweights better though.

 

We already have catchweights, they're called Jr. divisions. This is simply adding another catchweight on top of a recognized catchweight.:deal
