Miguel Cotto ending Pacmans career...

wow... i just gave you the links to what a catchweight really is, and you still can't figure it out?

hugger? i didn't even twist the definition, it is what it is. if you are dense enough to think that an imaginary fight between pac and cotto at 140 is a catchweight, i can safely say that you are mildly ******ed.

 

cotto needs to set a certain percent of his earnings to educate his followers. its really embarrassing.
























yeah! you thinman is an embarrassment to cotto.

 

Dumbass.

 

I give Pac an edge, but not a sure thing.

 

.it will be the end of pac BETTER BELEIVE WHAT HE WROTE ITS GONNA HAPPEN .it will be the end of PAC ***YA......

 

even if what the threadstarter said really happens, it's alright.

it has been a magnificent 13 year run, a wonderful career, a career that 95% of active fighters today only dream of.

if pac's career abruptly ended right after he won the wbc 112 title back in 1998, i would still have been super proud of the young kid.

it has been a fruitful, exciting and a magical ride for me.

 

According to you....

Pac vs Cotto at 145 it is catchweight fight...

Pac vs Cotto at 140 it isn't a catchweight fight...

Pac vs Cotto at 139 it is a catchweight fight....

Pac vs Cotto at 135 is isn't a catchweight fight....

Who is the ******ed now?????

Read the part in green.... if you have half of brain you will understand what a catchweight is......

Pac was a 135 lbs fighter and Hoya was a 154 lbs fighter, they met somewhere in between (147 pounds) which is called

stipulated in the contract

and that limit isn't Hoya's weightclass limit, which by the way is 154 pounds.....

 

I have never been a Cotto's fan.....so I don't know what are you talking about.....

Your comment makes me think that many of you are really stupid... where did I say that I was a Cotto fan....

 

like if MEXICANS CAN give a rats ass what this TERON THINKSi would to be mad IF they would of took my old lady bear with IT:smoke

 

you mean 100% of active fighters

 

Cotto fans should be humiliated that you are one of them

 

maybe the other 5% dream of being stepping stones or fodders to pad young fighters' records? :rofl

:yep

 

You guys are arguing semantics in a sense. Here is a common definition for catchweight that I looked up online:
contest in which normal weight categories have been waived by agreement

but really it is supposed to mean two guys meeting the middle of their respective weight classes but you can also say, if you want, that any fight at an agreed upon weight class weight is not a catch weight, however, that distorts the real meaning if the term if you don't include those, I think

if both guys fight at the same weight class and they both come in over, its not a catch weight its only a catch if they meet in the middle

 

I don't want any of these fighters retiring the other. These are two of the best in the sport, definitely a thrill to watch. I just wish they would continue fighting.
