    What if Pac didn't fight the sorriest guy at 135...and 140...

    What if he didn't drain Cotto..

    What if he fought a healthy Oscar

    What if he fought Shane WHEN IT MATTERED right after Mosley tore-up margarito

    Pac's shitty career is filled with what ifs..

    Floyd would have been favored over ALL of Arum's overrated Pinatas...:deal

    Not my opinion it's true. Winky was a huge JMW he was bigger than Tito was at 160 and he fought Hopkins at 170 he has no place in the ring with PBF period.

    The difference being is that Winky is actually great an ATG at 154 a big skilled technician who was a stylistic hell for most while Margo isn't he's a big limited plodder with no defense who Pac could tee off on.:deal

    He already whooped Cotto's ass so why would he need another catchweight to do it again in a rematch? Makes no sense to me.

    Margarito is no draw. Not even close. So of course he won't have problems agreeing to catchweights if he can get in the ring with the top guys.

    I don't care about catchweights either but I don't like to see a Champion defending his belt at a weight he obviously he is not comfortable with.

    And if you think Cotto could have just said screw you then I have two words: Bob Arum. We know how he just loves to sit a fighter on the side lines and sue him into submission.

    I have no problem with the catch weight with Margo. Pac was a WW fighting a JMW. A 150 catch weight is reasonable. The Cotto catch weight was BS since Pac had already fought at 147. The De La Hoya catch weight was also BS. Either way I give Pac credit because he got the job done in impressive fashion in all three instances. The Cotto and DLH fights deserve asterisks though.

    You can't compare the Winky Wright situation to any of Pac's catch weights. They are not the same. To say a catch weight is unfair for a fighter coming out of 140, skipping 147 and moving to his first fight above 140 is weight draining is just stupid. You have a super lighweight figting a Middleweight. Of course there's going to be a catchweight. To this day Mayweather's never weighed more than 151 for a fight.

    When you buy a home or a car, do you think the salesmen drops his pants and gives up what they are selling or do they negotiate?
    Floyd has his conditions testing ring size glove size if need be, where it will take place etc...

    Manny has his conditions as well sometimes its catch weight, 8 ounce gloves, location etc...

    your not going to tell me that someone is wrong for trying their best to put themselves in a favorable position, especially those of you who love the business side of the sport cus thats what this is negotiate all you can for what you can get......
