What if Pac Fought Cotto First....

What I said and what you posted have no reference to each other.

 

Oh shitttt. Thousands of posts and he doesn't know what weight welterweight is?

 

psychopath is actually right.. you don't need to be a boxing genius to understand this simple math.. as long as it is inside 141-147, it's still WW.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

That says a lot about the poster and his quality of posts. :yep

 

Get it out of my head?

NO reference eze . . . no reference. :yep

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

:hi:

 

So Pac can't weigh 140 when he fights Cotto?

 

Wait, I don't think any of these fights had a contractual weight limit below the upper limit of the welterweight range. That and it's all irrelevant because this is a non-title fight (as far as I know).

 

Jesus? WTF . . . what contractual weight limit below the upper limit are you talking about?

Title fight or non title fight 141 - 147 welter weight limit is being enforced.

 

I'm pretty sure Welterweight means that the fighter has the option of weighing anywhere up to and including 147. Welterweight does NOT mean that a contracted weight limit can be between 141-147 inclusive.

I say this because: Suppose Cotto weighs in for 146 for this fight. He's weighing in as a welterweight, but...

 

Oh ok now I understand what you mean.

The welter weight limit is 141 to 147 that's right.

Now the contracted weight limit is just between Team Pac and Team Cotto. If Cotto weighs in more than what's in the contract then I can assure you there will be some sort of penalty included in their documents. And if it's sanctioned fight that means the boxing governing body agrees with the contract between the two parties.

 

To make things easier for all of us to understand about a welterweight fight.

1. One of the fighters must weigh 141-147 on weigh-in and the other one can be lower.
2. Fight must be contracted at weight range of 141-147.

So, a fight between 138 lb'r vs 145 (weigh-in) is a welter fight if contracted @ 145.

 

it's f***in crazy how hard it is for them to understand that.. if maryann's explanation won't make this any clearer, i don't think anything will..
