You're a moron and nitpicking at nothing, trying to an argument over what? I merely stated the fight could be called a catch weight fight. you think Im trying to discredit pac's victory? His victory is already tainted.
Catch weights define weight limit agreements that traditional weight classes don't. It's simple. Any weight agreed upon outside the normal limits of the established weight classes is a catch weight. That's why the term exists. You want to define catch weight in your own way to discredit a boxer. You're a biased idiot with an agenda. You know what Ricky hatton usually fights at? 140 You know what Floyd fought at before his hatton fight? 154 So they met at a catch weight of 147???? What a stupid ass.
You could call it that. But we knew Mayweather wasn't going to be staying there, and Mayweather only weighed in at 150. While Hatton had already been to 147 before and won a title. Manny had never been above 135. You're arguing this over what again? Because you're an idiot trying to act like you have a point when you've got nothing.
A catch weight is a term used in combat sports such as boxing and mixed martial arts to describe a weight limit for a fight that does not fall in line with the traditional limits for weight classes. [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_weight[/ame]
3 different definitions so far. I merely stated it could be called a catch weight fight. COULD BE/ CAN BE. It doesn't mean anything. The thread starter was posting it as if the fight took place at 145. You're ******ed. And need a life.

A weight agreed upon outside normal limits. Is 147 a normal limit for a Welterweight contest? You can't define words how you would like to get your own point made. The fight was a legit WW contest. No catch weight involved. Sorry to burst your biased bubble, idiot.
I love Pac so you can't call me a naysayer. And I gain nothing by saying it's a catch weight fight. No one is going to call it a catch weight because it took place at 147. Im merely stating it CAN be called that because they met in the middle of what they were before.
im merely saying the fight can be called a catch weight, because where did they meet Luke? In between the weight that they were each fighting at, some what. Biased? Based on what? Because I said the fight could be called a catch weight?
It wasn't a catch weight. It was welter weight. Now if you want to define it at bringing oscar down to welterweight, that is perfectly fine. Calling it a catch weight is ****ing stupid. It's not the definition of the term. Here's what you need to say... "Pacquiao made oscar fight at the welterweight limit" In no way was this fight a catch weight. It was fought at the Welterweight limit of 147. Stop being so stubborn just to come out looking right. You know you're wrong, you know you're trying to argue semantics and you know what a catch weight actually is. I know you're not stupid eze, you usually post with some level of intelligence.
Biased based on you are included in the group of people who argue with me based only on the fact that I talk **** about Mayweather. If I called Mayweather the greatest fight ever, you'd be sending me an invitation to the Mayweather Mafia. You/Rudyard/Rhino718/Nallege/TheKid/PaulieMayweather/Jacory You all say the same **** to me, and big ****ing surprise, you're all floyd mayweather fans who like talking ****. None of you make valid points. None of you argue facts. None of you are objective.
Stop thinking that a catch weight has to take place between these besides 140,147,154, etc. They met in between their weight classes. That happened to land on 147. By saying it could be called a catch weight, I gain nothing. I am was merely pointing out that it could be called it. Like you said, what a catch weight USUALLY is, meaning, not all catch weights take place between 2 back to back weight classes. They met in between, where Pac had never been and DLH hadn't been in a long time.
I never see you in any topic besides a Floyd one and you are always talking **** on Floyd. And if you did call Floyd the greatest you'd be a moron. But you are calling me bias because I said this fight COULD BE called a catch weight. Like if it discredits Pac's win or something.
So the difference between the word catch and welter is?? Your opinion on the idea? No. There is a ****ing definition for a fight at 147, and it's called welter weight.
