Everyone OK with Martinez vs. Floyd at 155 for the Lineal 160 Pound Title?

No i'm not ok with this from any fighter. If you want someones belt then you should fight them at the sanctioned weight limit. Furthermore if they are going to fight at 155 then might as well just lose that 1 extra pound and do it at 154. Also Mayweather said he's not interested in belts so i doubt he would do it at 155 for a belt at 160 even if its a chance at history. But then again you never know but either way i think they need to get rid of this nonsense of fighting for a legit belt at a catchweight. If you want to fight at a catchweight fine but don't force the other guy to have to put his belt up as a result.

I hate catchweights. If they fight for the 160lb title then that is the max weight.

It would be a MW fight, but not at the MW limit!!! Yeah exactly: it has different limits so it's not middleweight. It's a catchweight.

The champion should NEVER be restricted from coming in at the limit of the divison he campaigns at. I'll give Mayweather alot of credit but I won't consider him 6 division champion; if he does win. Also it has nothing to do with Martinez comfortably making 155, he rightfully deserves to use those 5 extra pounds as an advantage.

To me this is reasonable because Martinez's division is really 154 anyway.

Didn't you already make this thread?

Nah it doesn't make sense. How can he win the lineal middleweight title without ever fighting at middleweight? I mean, I'd be happy with the fight, just not the MW title and straps being on the line. It would be a MW fight, but not at the MW limit!!!

That would be bullshit!!!! fukk catchweights!!! But Pactards cant say shit about it, though

History in the making. lol. Ha, of course not.

if it was ok for Pac to do it, Floyd should be able to do it too

not a lot of people liked the catchweight then either We were reading two different forums, apparently.

Look forward to seeing how many of the people voting "no", were big upping Pacquiao after the Cotto fight. not a lot of people liked the catchweight then either

No, 160 or nothing. Martinez is not even a natural 160 pounder, but it still should take place in the weight-class he earned the belt in.

not a fan of catchweights. if martinez can still make 154 easily i'd rather it be there, without the 160 title on the line. if he wants the 160 belts the fight should be at 160

As long a there is no catch weight and if there is, that move would be like what Pac did which a lot of haters are using to dis Pac. I am tired of catch weights. Either fight or don't. No catch weights.
