@TimeGlass32 Pac fought ODLH and Clottey at 147 but makes Cotto come to 145 lbs.

Pac tells Mosley that he will have to come to 144 lbs but when Marquez asks for 144 lbs Pac says he will have to come to 147 lbs, LMAO!!

Why all the different weights for different fighters?

Manny Pacquaio - undispued Catchweight King.

What a joke

[Midnightrambler3760]

@jhuan0 I also agree that styles make fights and the last person who pac fought with a style anyway similar to Floyd was Marquez, and Pac did not do very well.

When you also consider that in regards to Timing, Accuracy, Speed and defense, Marquez is nowhere near Flold.

I do not think it bodes well for pac's chances against Floyd

lol @ mosley's trainer giving him Fiji water. That's good stuff. That paired with no plaster gloves ensured a win.

@AdamR702 you can not hit to the back of the head, if you hit really hard to the back of the head u get deducted points, usually fighters stop at the last second and try to pull back

Por poco matan a Margarito

[AdamR702]

Was this the plaster fight? also can someone tell me what the rule is regarding hitting to the back of the head?

[ElKendricko]

Okay, and I'm sure if any of his catch weight fights were fought at 147 his opponent would of kicked his ass... (sarcasm)

[Midnightrambler3760]

@Abayarde718 Pac had trouble getting to Marquez because Marquez would take a 6" step backward and then counter. Floyd has a 6" reach advantage so pac will have to travel even further. I think pac will be bouncing into a machine gun nest.

I still do not undertsand why you think Floyd will not counter pac as effectively as Marquez when Floyd is a much better counterpuncher than marquez with a huge reach advantage.

[Abayarde718]

@Midnightrambler3760 I agree, Floyd is great I'm just saying I don't see him countering Pac as effortlessly as Márquez did so to me its still anyones fight.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@Abayarde718 Floyd cannot counter like Marquez...really?

Floyd is 10x better and smarter than Marquez. Marquez was nothing but a sparring session for Floyd after a 2 year lay off.

Don't believe the Pac hype, Floyd will pick pac to peices.

[Abayarde718]

@Midnightrambler3760 He still won. Floyd don't counter better than Marquez, he does everything else better though. Floyd got the pull counter, that's it. All I hear from Floyd lovers is the same, "he's similar in style but faster than Marquez", but it isn't true - Floyd never fought like Marquez! Only time I ever hear these two compared is NOW, by Floyd fans. Adrien Broner, that new kid, fights like Floyd. Don't believe the hype, Floyd can still lose to Pac. And vice versa though.

@thechamp2585 "when your the Man other fighters want to fight you. when they are begging to fight you for the honor and the payday you can make the rules" boxing has been around for hundreds of years, NOBODY should change the rules ESPECIALLY a fighter. Pac fought ODLH and Clottey at 147 but makes Cotto come to 145

Pac tells Mosley that he will have to come to 144 lbs but when Marquez asks for 144 Pac says he will have to come to 147

Why all the different weights for different fighters
