    I agree- If a fight is for a title, the title weight should be the title weight.

    I agree. He's clearly taking advantage of his ability to dictate terms, and it does cut into his credibility as wanting to be the best.

    150 is higher than Pac should ever be fighting, are you guys fucking kidding me? Bitching about pac fighting Margarito at a catch weight? He shouldn't even be fighting Margarito to begin with and he sure as hell shouldn't be fighting over 147!!! He's giving Margarito a chance he doesn't deserve and he's taking the fight at a weight he doesnt' belong at. Cut him some slack.

    x2. Of course all this controversy could be side stepped by just having the fight at 147 and forgetting about the irrelevant title. But basically i agree, Pac isnt gaining any advantage over Marg with the catch weight & it shouldnt be used to detract from what a size mismatch this is.

    Yeah, even if allowed to fight at 154, that paper title means nothing.

    well, margarito should be comfortable w/ 150. not sure what he has left, but he resembles anything to what he was in the cotto fight, it's gonna be a fun fight.

    it's also going to be interesting how pac will handle margarito's height. i'm still going w/ pacquiao to win via TKO. margarito is way too hittable and has slow down a lot in the last two years.

    agREED w/All, but Particularly the Highlighted Portion...

    This is Fucking Margarita we're Talking about...If Pac Demanded a Catchweight of 140 for the 154 Title, REED Wouldn't Give a Shit, as Loooong as the Opponent is Margarita...

    Margarita's Actions were Sooooo REPREHENSIBLE, he Still CANNOT Get a Boxing License in the United States...Fuck Him...REED Actually APPLAUDS the Catchweight, Because the MORE Margarita Struggles, the BETTER...

    Margarito didnt struggle that much to make 147, so its a funny catchweight which only brings a paper title but little else in pacquaio's favor

    Marg by early-mid stoppage, thus adding both Manny & Margarito to PBF's hypothetical resume.

    Mosley's an admitted steroid user...I wonder how many people boycotted the Mayweather fight because of it.

    because he's banned from boxing for trying to assault another fighter and he doesn't deserve our money?

    I'm serious about Marg stopping Manny.
    I'm semi-serious/ semi-shit-stirring about the PBF bit.

    Do you really not see a difference between those two guys out of ring happenings and what Margarito tried to do in his fight with Mosley?

    exactly, Margarito probably only loaded his gloves because he knew Mosley would be all juiced up

    are you serious with this comparison? Do you realize you can die in the ring and any fighter who puts plaster in his gloves should be banned from the sport for life not given the biggest fight in boxing? How old are you, I'm I taking to a 12 year old?

    What I find funny is people complaining about this because like you said, its Antonio Margarito, plus I don't ever recall hearing that Margarito had a serious problem making 147. So why would he have a problem making 150?

    I do'nt think a title should be on the line. But I'll will fucking jump for joy when I see Pacquiao tax that ass!!.
