    Catchweights do make sense. If one is a roid user, he can bulk up more without having to worry about making weight.

    The one thing Pacquiao has been unable to do is overpower Marquez with brute force, that is really the only option for him as he'll never outbox Marquez.
    A catchweight eliminates the roid user from bulking up if thats whats on his mind to do! :bbb

    Doesn't Guerrero hold the interim 147lb title? If Floyd is stripped of his 147lb title, which the WBC is NOT going to do, then wouldn't that make Guerrero the FULL WBC champion @ 147lbs?

    This fight is NOT going to be for the WBC 147lb title. Maybe the WBC 147lb Silver Belt?

    The rumor is that it will be for the WW "Diamond Belt".

    really pathetic if true!

    By leaving the weight limit at 147, they can both come in around 143 if they want, but there's no stigma attached.

    Pac's fans will say it doesn't matter, but if it didn't matter, Pac and Arum wouldn't insist on the catchweights.

    I would be really surprised if it was Pac's team insisting on the catch weight for this one

    So Pac is 'draining' Marquez now instead of forcing him to move up to a new weight? Get your agenda straight.

    I don't believe that they will go to Mexico but I hope they do.

    Possibly Silver Belt if not Diamond Belt. :D

    :lol: Marquez was on the roids and ended up losing a majority decision.

    Actually Pac and Roach want the fight at 147, but JMM demands a catch weight..
