    I really hope noone mentions this to flod.

    They wait until after the fight, floyds just won, maybe even gone through a war, and is a bit bruised up.

    He goes to press conference happy that he managed to get victory in a modern day classic.

    Then the 1st Question that come from a reporter is "Sorry Floyd but you do realise this victory doesn't count"

    Will Manny's catchweight diamond belt be on the line vs Rios?

    what are you gonna do. Half your argument on why floyd is greater than manny has gone out the window.

    Just stick to the Manny on Peds line now :D

    Are we ok with catchweights and weight draining fighters now turbo?

    :lol:

    So you are saying that every division is not a division, but in fact they are all set catchweights.

    Interesting...
     
  5. Just ignore him. This guy is consistently bitching and hating on Manny Pacquiao.

    In order of your stanzas:

    1. It would be hypocritical of him had he never tested anyone after Pacquiao. But he's had them all tested. So that's not being hypocritical about drug testing, dude. Nice try.

    2. Yes.

    3. OK. Although one of your whopping two examples isn't a flip flop. But OK.

    4. Nice, random, out of nowhere opinion. Cool.

    5. Yes.

    Oscar won the WBO 160 pound title from Sturm the fight before Hopkins. Robbery or not.

    Pacquiao had fought Oscar at the full 147 limit less than one year before making Cotto fight at 145 pound catch.

    I just reworded what you said for clarification.

    It is an interesting way of looking at it if that is how you do.

    I honestly don't think so...

    OK now I see it.

    You only recognize the original 8 divisions, so anything not fought at those original limits are simply catchweights. Right? Because that is what you said in your original post, enlighten me otherwise. I guess that's fair if that is how you do it. Sort of like how some people don't recognize retirements as ending of lineal titles (which means some small % of people out there recognize Grachev as the LHW champ).

    Floyd gonna be Floyd, he is a hypocrite and everyone with half a brain knows that already, he contradicts himself at every turn.

    However, this is a great fight and the riskiest fight he's taken since ODLH. You guys can try ***** about the catchweight all you like and try turn a positive into a negative just to get a ***** win over someone on a forum, but I'm honestly just glad this fight is happening.

    Cotto and Canelo between 3 fights for Floyd is great competition. Props to Floyd, showed real balls taking on this fight, specially at this stage of his career.

    You just said something which seemed literal.

    Let me know if you were trolling from the start.

    Or tell me exactly what you mean since I apparently haven't figured it out doing my best to do so.

    Pacquaio request a catchweight of a fighter fighting in the same weight division. SMH.
