    I wasn't attempting to make you cry. Pac's pitiful actions aren't enough to open your eyes so why should I present anything?

    Laugh away. You just don't know what or who the joke is. :good

    Here's the joke.

    How do you answer this when some people will ask you.

    "You're a boxing fan, right? Is it true that your current most popular boxer is a coward? I heard it on ESPN."

    No - I was amped after Pacquiao agreed to the terms that Floyd wouldn't go on holiday.

    He didn't.

    So we're here, again, as a result.

    It's a shame that the boxing commissions are allowing Pac to taint the record books by fighting for titles at catchweights. If Margo agrees, then he's a dumbass. There is no way this should be allowed. If it's for a title, then both fighters should be able to come in at their best.

    You dummy. Mayorga was the wbc champion when he defended against Oscar in which Oscar won by ko.

    I am actually disappointed. Might as well make this a non-title fight.

    But still, I like this fight, just because this will be a gruelling, brutal slugfest, and I even think Margarito can put a hurting on the little guy. Competitive and entertaining fight for sure.

    This would all never have happened if Floyd just fought Pac.

    Previous catch-weights in history for title bouts:

    Joe Gans vs Joe Walcott (138 pound catchweight)

    Henry Maske vs Virgin Hill (190 catchweight)

    Bernard Hopkins vs Oscar De La hoya (158 catchweight)

    Jose Luis Castillo vs Diego Corrales (both fighters agreed to make 135 but no one can weigh more than 147 on fight night)

    Fernando Vargas vs Ricardo Mayorga (162 catchweight)

    Roy Jones Jr. vs Felix Trinidad (170 catchweight)

    Miguel Cotto vs Manny Pacquiao (145 catchweight)

    Paulie Ayala vs Johnny Tapia (124 catchweight)

    Terry Norris vs Meldrick Taylor (150 1/2 catchweight)

    Henry Armstrong vs Law Jenkis (140 catchweight, for a Welterweight Bout! )

    Emile Griffith vs Dave Charnley (148 catchweight)

    I don't think Pac should get credit for inventing catch-weights when there were a lot of pioneers before him.

    i dont care if pac fights margo at 150 or 147. JUST DONT GIVE PAC THE (154) TITTLE LIKE THAT. he can beat tony 10 times in a row at catch weights and i will not care as long as they dont make him an " 8 DIVISION WOLRD CHAMPION " just like that. Margarito is NOT even a champion at that weight. He is a 147 fighter who is DESPERATE for a pay day and will agree to fight manny no matter how unfair the stipulations are. BASICALLY, ARUM IS GONNA MAKE PAC AN 8 DIVISION CHAMPION AGAISNT A NATURAL WELTERWEIGHT FIGHTER WHO IS ALSO A TOP RANK FIGHTER WHO IS SLOW, PLASTER-LESS AND THEIR FIGHTING FOR A VACATED TITTLE FROM MARTINEZ. . . . . WHAT A JOKE

    Void is jealous and I am glad. Void is extremely afraid of Pac. Void lies, made up lies about Pac being a drug addict.

    This is the other problem i have with this fight.... what a watered down way of becoming a 'champion' in 8 divisions.... i was really hoping pac was above this kind of thing (The cotto fight is one thing, Cotto was a legit and top fighter at 147, margarito hasnt even fought at 154 in like 5 or 6 years, and only a handful of times his entire life... and ISNT EVEN A TOP 10 JR WELTER!

    and i want to see some die hard pac fans (meaning, the pac fans that buy into everything he does, i am a big fan of pac, but this is bull****) explain this to me.... i like pac and if im missing something here id like to see what it is. Im not just some hater or some mayweather fan, im a boxing fan, and i dont see how this fight ISNT bull****. :huh
