No, idiots like this are killing boxing. Boxing fans have turned into salivating groupies who will literally defy logic to defend their hero. Manny Pacquiao could fight Chad Dawson at a 155 catch weight and people would lap it up. Floyd could fight Malignaggi for the 154 title and people would pay to see it. What can you do. Morons Then you have people asking what Shane Moselys ever achieved!!!
I don't remember Boxing ever being this divided Both sides refuse to concede much if anything. Maybe if ESB has been about in the Ali - Frazier times :think
Lol Id love the Ali is on roids threads!! Or the chincheckers claiming Joe Frazier has a chin made of wet toilet paper!!! Its irrefutable!
He still has fought at WW quite a few times and has beaten up bigger fighters in DLH, Cotto, and Margarito. If he needed a catchweight it should've been only against DLH. Sickening that he beat an unranked Margo for a "title" too. People need to stop babying Pacq the man simply doesn't need cw's anymore. If he can't make 154+, don't. Obvious he was handed a title.
Or that Ray Robinson was a fraud and that apparently rose tinted glasses are the only thing giving Earnie Shavers punching power. If you take them off he's a HW Malignaggi!!!
When has he beaten guys 147+ for titles? The guy is a proven WW if he can't make the weight then get back down but after beating Cotto the way he did, guy is a legit WW. Don't let his size fool you.
does it really matter??? pac only weighed 143 on his last fight, 148 on fight night. fight night weight will be virtually the same or bradley will outweigh pac by a little. again, does them agreeing to fight at 147 really matter???
It should be so simple. WW fights can have catchweights. WW TITLE fights, can not. If you win a WW title then you're a fully fledged WW, a Champion of that division; and that division allows fighters to weigh in at 147lbs.
