The Catch Weight Kings

the shakes comment was a bit uncalled for dont you think?

 

Roach also mentioned about fighting Foreman for his 154 lb. belt. That had to be taken out of context as well. No way you can be fighting for JMW belts when you're demanding WWs to fight you at 145,unless of course Roach would demand Foreman fought him at 145 lbs.

 

The catch weight is a symptom of the weight drain that most fighter endure to make weight. Other then Heavies, almost all boxers are drained to make lower then normal weight classes. The extra two pounds shouldn't mean **** but the fighter already had to sweat out 10 or more pounds just to make the weight. Don't you see something wrong with that? They aren't truly the weigh in weight anyway. The weigh in should be 2 hours before the fight. That way the weights would be real based on true body weight.

So all you midgets that cry that two pounds means something are dumb; it is because the fighter is already weight drained to make the max weight anyhow. The fighters aren't really 147 come fight time anyway. That donk that lost his title in the undecard put on 19 ****ing pounds!!!

So stop the ****ing crying over the two pounds it only matters because your fighters are dehydrating themselves to the point of organ failure to make a false weight. If they where truly of that weight class the 2 pounds wouldn't mean much. Think about it, any of us could drop 2 or 10 pounds in an 8 week fight camp with little trouble, the problem is that they are walking around 20-40 pounds heavier at their "natural" weight. Then basically try to kill themselves to make weight.

 

So what you're saying is that you don't actually like the rules of boxing, therefore they are irrelevant?

Same day weigh ins, when they were practiced, lead to far more injuries in the ring because fighters did not have time to re-hydrate properly and they were more suscpetible to brain injuries. The rules were changed for the safety of the fighters. Besides, walk around weight is hardly indicative of "natural fighting weight". Some fighters carry much more water weight, some balloon up when not training, etc. If a guy can get down to 147 then he can fight at 147. For fighters that have spend much of their career learning exactly how much they need to cut to get to their specific weight that extra two pounds is a lot. And if it wasn't such a benefit they wouldn't do it.

 

A Marquez fight would be a bull**** fight at this point anyway. :deal

I was rooting for a Pac/JMM III before the Cotto fight but it didn't happen so **** it now. Marquez won't bring anything for Pac both in stature and money. Not now that Pac's purse rate is already too far from JMM's.

Only a PBF fight would count.

 

BUT HE LET OSCAR COME IN AT 154 BIG DIFFERENCEatsch

 

:rofl " Shakes"

You're wrong!

 

"Freddie "Shakes" " is something a completely classless person would say. So I stopped reading there.
