Comments Thread For: Time For Manny Pacquiao To Stop Cheating History

[marikudo]

Manny Pacquiao already made history without Margarito. Margarito is only an icing on the cake. No other foreign boxer has been named, with all the American writers' biases against non-american fighters, as P4P #1 in boxing. He is already an all time great. Even he reitres now without fighting the coward Mayweather or the cheater Margarito it won't mean a thing.

while i dont like the idea of a catchweight, and margarito isnt my first choice of opponent for pac personally, this isn't the first time a title fight is fought at a catchweight.

Another event, another catch… weight, that is.

Nothing but disappointment and grumbling has been expressed in the wake of yet another failed attempt to match together Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao, universally regarded as the two best fighters in the world today. [Click Here To Read More]

Manny Pacquiao just loves to cheat.

and you say you're not a pachater when you or anyone in the world dont have any proof of any cheating.

if you consider a catchweight fight thats been mutually agreed upon as cheating, what do you call floyd's catchweight fight w/ jmm where he didnt even make weight?

There is a thing called weight classes guys. Just because an agreement is made for a fighter to fight at a lighter weight than the actual limit of the weightclass, doesnt mean it shouldnt be a title fight as long as both fighters are fighting within the weightclass bracket.

Weight limits apply to a weight class. The limit for Jr Middleweight is 154,not 150. No matter how you try to spin it with ridiculous semantics. The only division without a limit is the heavyweight division.

im sorry man but winning a 154 title at 150 against margarito is cheating the history books and most of all cheating legacy thats it thats all

im not for it. but tell that to SRL too. it's been done several times in boxing history.

[Calilloyd]

why are people so upset with a catch weight. margarito fought at 147 a couple years ago and pac has never fought at 154. i don't think their should be a title on the line, or that margs should make a single penny for this fight. plus if he is fighting at 154 i would much rather see him against martinez or williams, where the risk/reward is better, if manny wins, he will not and should not be praised for the win. i mean those 2 guys in the ring will no doubt be exciting, but marks got ko'd, caught cheating, and since then has done absolutely nothing to prove he is back in the ranks of the elite in boxing.

People are upset with the fact that a title is involved. Aside from the catchweight, neither one of these fighters should be fighting for the jr middleweight championship based on the fact they have little to no history there.
