    This guy is a buffoon. I like millions of others will be hoping that Josh Clottey tells him to stick his catchweight up his ass, and proceeds to whup his sorry ass all the way back to the Phillipenenes. His fans will still proclaim manny the world's best welterweight if he wins and they maintain he is a welterweight champion. In my eyes you need to fight at welterweight first pacman - to date you never have.:fire

    Fighters like to have a cushion of a pound or so going into a weigh in because the last thing you want is to get on the scale and find that it reads a pound higher than the one you were using to set your weight, and that you've got to hurry up and sweat out a pound.

    Fighting at 145 means he will likely come in at 144 or so to have that same cushion. That's a big disadvantage to a guy like Clottey who already cuts so much.

    Also, in the immortal words or random ESB posters everywhere "so, what, all of a sudden Floyd, I mean, whoops, Pac gets to make his own rules instead of following the normal rules of boxing".

    Oh of course, I know you didnt even bring Floyd up so im definately not accusing you, (maybe I should have reworded my intentions for posting what i did) im moreso meaning in general, "some people" do not give floyd a break for coming over weight one time instead labeling him a "cheater" but i have seen people defending manny about this CW issue. It seems like a double standard. Like i said, i personally dont think either should be labeled.

    Clottey will have to go on a starvation diet to make weight.
    Then pacman can pick off the corpse that comes into the ring.

    Welterweight is 147....if he wants to be WW man....then he needs to defend against guys who can make the 147 limit.....other wise he needs to go back down and fight the pipsqueaks....:bbb

    Just because the guy came in at 145 like 4 years ago doesnt mean a thing.... this fight should be at 147, period.

    However, before i say anything about Pac in this situation, im going to wait to see what happens, too many people talking out of that camp. But if this fight DOES happen at 145..... :-(

    To be honest i dont think it will happen, i think Pac will fight him at 147.

    They need to stop this ****. Roach said 147 Arum said 147 what the **** does his lawyer get a say in it? Tell him to **** off and focus on his own job.


    Pac has a welterweight belt now. Not a super duper light weight belt, not a big junior welterweight belt, a welterweight belt which is for 147. If he feels like coming in at 145 that is entirely his prerogative but they shouldnt be demanding the challenger who is already at that weight to come in at 145 or under for a welterweight title shot.

    Like 5 years ago? Manny's dysfunctional entourage with the 25 different spokesmen was funny. But now it's just annoying.
