    Since the catchweight fights are getting more and more popular, I'm just wandering which catchweight would be evenly fair for both Manny and Nico?

    Cruiserweight? No way Valuev could drop that much weight... Paquiao could emulate Toney and eat himself up to 200 Pounds, but with that much weight he would be even slower then Valuev...

    Which weight could Valuev possibly make? Or even better question - which weight would Valuev need to make in order to be that much weight drained for not being able to stay upright, so Paquaio would have a chance to reach his chin? Because under normal circumstances Manny's arms are not long enough to reach Nico's chin...

    I'd say Valuev could make 230 by killing himself and not being able to walk anymore, and Paquiao wouldn't be able to walk anymore too if he would eat himself up to 230 so it would be a fair weight but probably a VERY boring fight indeed ;-)

    Of course the thread is not completely serious, but the queastion of a fair catchweight for Manny and Nico appears most interesting nevertheless...

    Tubbs was once offered $50K to come in under 235 lbs for the Tyson fight. He came in at 238 instead and got KO'ed in two rounds.

    cut off one of Nikolai's leg and surgically attach it to Pacquiao around the left elbow. That should pretty much even it up.

    Use some gaffer tape to attach a couple of strawweights to Pac. Maybe Román González on one side and Eagle Kyowa on the other.
