    How do you figure? Floyd has fought basicly the same guys Manny has been fighting, and Floyd got to them first... other than Marquez...
    Now sure you can say Cotto and Margarito, But beating Mosley after Mosley came off his BIG win over Margarito kinda makes up for it...

    Pac/DLH was a catchweight.

    Doesn't matter if it was at the WW limit, they met in the middle.

    You make it sound like pac forced him to welter, you know very well oscar vs pac was backfiring cherrypick from Oscar where he ****ed the weight up. Thats not something to hold against pac like its his fault.
    Only cotto 145 and margarito 150 were catchweights that benefited him, allthough personally I dont thinkit would have made an difference.

    Roach insisted 147, again I dont make it sound like anything, I am saying what happend, Oscar thought he could do it, or did he? perhaps he knew that he was done and just showed up for a final paycheck...
    I mean he could have just made the weight, went out placed a massive bet on Manny and made more money that way as well..
    But Roach knew that having Oscar at 147 was the key, if they had Oscar come in at 150 I dont think we would have gotten the fight to be honest.

    Exactly.

    Oscar cherrypicked a lightweight cause he didnt want to fight Margo and he ended up taking a bigger beating than he probably would take had he fought Margo who would most likely be willing to face him at 154.

    Then you must agree Floyd vs. Hatton was a catchweight too. :lol:

    It's not Pac's fault but you still can't give him credit for beating a drained Oscar.

    Don't be ****ing stupid.

    Hatton didn't move up to just fight Mayweather .
    He had already fought at that weight before.

    Pacquiao moved up two weights and Oscar dropped one.

    :lol: ****in rube! And DLH had fought at 147 before moron. Just get this through your think, but empty, and somehow dense head, DLH vs. Pac was a WW fight.

    I know you're just playing but you know catchweights don't necessarily meet at exactly the middle.

    And ODLH has fought at 147 before also.
    And Cotto has fought at 140.
    And Margarito has fought at 147.


    Your logic is flawed.

    How about you explain to me what a catchweight is then.

    Is it not 2 fighters from different weights meeting somewhere in the middle.
