    he is scared to death of a fair fight on an even playing field

    give him a catch weight and some PED and he will fight Klitchko

    Obviously to have an advantage, the one requesting the catchweight always picks something in his range. As a Pacquiao fan who understands athletic weights I'll be the first to admit this. Surely other losers with no clue whatsoever will tell you catchweights do nothing, just ask them why it's requested if it does "nothing" and you'll be flamed all night.

    For someone who "Defies the Odds" as much as Pac does, there sure isn't a **** of a lot of glory in "making it a fair fight" by all this catchweight and overweight clause BS

    What's the point in that? The greatest fighters overcome obstacles

    Because Pacquiao is a FRAUD. Pacquiao's alleged status as the #1 P4P fighter in the world is the biggest joke played on the boxing public since Roy Jones' title "reign" @ 175lbs...

    That's why it pays to have the very best arbitration team.

    It obviously matters or he wouldn't ask for it. Pac fought at 147+ before Cotto, and after Cotto, just not against Cotto.

    I'm noticing a lack of a certain type of poster in this forum.......

    He needs more of an advantage on his opponents.

    to even the playing field.

    Example, if I'm playing tennis and I can beat my opponent 3 sets to 0, should I let him start with a 2 set lead? **** that!

    Cotto already has an advantage on Pac because he is a lot heavier.

    It's not about Cotto, Marg changed his mind about fighting above 147. He's happy to fight Cotto at 147, which is not a CW, right? Cotto was the one that proposed 150 earlier this year, see this article from the scene:

    Exactly! That's exactly what I'm saying! So u just admitted it.:rofl Manny can't beat a Cotto with an advantage over him. Cotto was also a lot heavier than Floyd and Floyd took the fight at 154.

    Note-Manny walks around about 145 and Floyd about 151. Cotto probably around 170. So you just said it. Manny can't fight guys that walk around with that much of an advantage over him so he has to drain them.

    Chin checked ya.:hi:
