Manny Pacquiao Needs To Stop Fighting At Catch Weights

August 22, 2011 By Stephen Raymundo 104 Comments

Boxers should fight at legitimate weight classes and put aside catch weights, especially when a fighter needs to lose alot of weight to fight. The disadvantage goes to the challenger who has to drain himself to go down from his natural weight, then, having to gain the weight back legally via water & food — not supplement stacks or with illegal substances.

That is not a fair fight, you feel me?

Mike Tyson never fought Evander Holyfield at a catch weight. Tyson lost the fight to a bigger fighter, but he’s not complaining. So why should Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao complain about fighting a bigger guy like Sergio Martinez? Floyd Mayweather Jr. is entertaining a possible fight with Sergio Martinez. Also, in Mayweather’s next fight he will be fighting the young stud Victor Ortiz! While Pacman is fighting Juan Manuel Marquez a guy Floyd Mayweather defeated easily.

Pacquiao fans, please tell Pacman not to fight Victor Ortiz after Money disposes of him for another victory and his record remains untouched!!! We all know Manny loves to fight Floyd Mayweather’s left overs especially after 2 years — it gives Pacman time to pad his record some more!

To prove you are a great fighter, drop the catch weight’s, and fight guys at their real weight divisions.
