    Than watch Pacquiao try to fight these guys at catchweights ... I know if Mayweather was to fight Cotto or Mosley that it would be at 147.

    I don't think these guys should drain themselves just to satisfy the needs of a fake p4p king and an over hyped media product.

    He knocked out who?

    Morales - out boxed Pacquiao
    Barrera - overwhelmed
    Hatton - could escape his first professional defeat
    DLH - skeleton

    The other guys I haven't heard of ... what a stellar resume for 4 fights ... but this guy has more than 5 fight throughout his career.

    And it doesn't matter if people start dropping names, this guy isn't all that.

    His resume is compareable to Margarito's or even Joe Calzaghe ...

    Fitzgerald Im not big on Pac n I'm a big fan of Floyd but Pac's resume is a good 1...I could care less how good his resume is and who he has beat cuz Floyd would easily beat Pac....I dont think Pac could show Floyd anything he wouldn't be able to counter...Pac fights off balance sometimes and throws his punches wide..Floyd by KO10

    MOSLEY-FLOYD OR COTTO-FLOYD WOULD BE MORE COMPETITIVE FOR FLOYD THAN PAC!

    I disagree with Pac having a resume compared to Margo or Calzaghe, its much better.

    However I do agree with your point on wanting to watch PBF fight Cotto and Mosley, those are real welterweight fights. I think any of those fights for Pac would be a step to far IMO although I did say that with Hatton.

    All this cathcweight bull**** is gettin tiresome. Either Pac moves up permanently to welter and fights 1 of those guys o he shud jst stay out of it and let all these fights happen at 147.

    After JMM Floyd has 2 fight the other real welters

    Depends on what catchweight they were trying to make

    Tell you what NO one wants to see and thats someone in the condition of Oscar getting in with Pac (or anyone for that matter) ever again

    I agree with you about welters fighting welters. But how come Voyd is fighting JMM?

    Meanwhile, Pac can continue and dominate 140. See ya Floyd. There goes you cash cow. Good luck with Mosley and Cotto.:D

    that gets blown out of proportion. Oscar's conditioning was a factor but not the main issue. The main issue was Pac's speed, footwork, and southpaw stance.

    gotta give credit where credit is due.

    Thats unabashed nutthuggery at its most blatant

    Any half decent fighter could have beaten Oscar that night, the guy could barely throw a punch ffs

    I know your a massive ******* Philla but no need to be so blinded

    If you really believe that you are ****ing delusional. Pac vs. ODLH has everything to do with Oscar being weight drained.

    you're the one being delusional. Just can't give Pac any credit no matter what he does.

    talk is cheap. If any half decent fighter could have beaten Oscar that night then Steve Forbes would not have lost 120-108 when he fought Oscar just 3 pounds north.

    I dont tend to go by the records and names on paper, I try to judge by their performances in the ring regardless of their opponents and as Pacquiao has looked impressive in his last bunch of fights I cannot see him beating any of the guys mentioned at 147lbs and I totally agree with you about catchweight fights, I think Catchweight fights are a bunch of bull****. And Pacquiao has definitely been overhyped but I think it is because he is the people's champion so that is going to be expected. However I cannot see him beating Mayweather or anyone at 147 for that matter.

    It's like this, Manny Pacquiao is the #1 boxer/Fighter in the sport.
    He is also a 140lbs fighter. (Should never fight above it, Or below it)

    The De La Hoya fight was a one shot deal, IMO. (at WW)
    (Similar to Floyd's 154lbs fight Vs. De La Hoya)

    Manny is not a WW, I don't understand why peep's expect him to dust off a division that hasn't/won't clean itself up for years. (Tho this year has been a good start)

    I'm with Fitz, Bring on the WW's Vs. WW's.
    Stop trying to cockblock Manny's potential 140lbs reign.

    Agree but lets not forget that Cotto was a 140 pounder not so long ago. I think Cotto can make a healthy 144 and still beat pac but my only fear would be if he really drained himself then he would probably gas out even quicker at that weight. Other than Cotto, no other welter should be fighting at catchweight.
