Martinez-Mayweather plan b for mayweather what catchweight should be made 155? can't see floyd making 160?
floyd is 160-155 on fight night so 160 should be no problem.
Pacshits would have a hay day against Floyd if he gets a catchweight which is ironic
P.S I asked Roger already on radio, he is NOT fighting Martinez, not enough money
LOL, let that be the excuse.............
no he doesn't, he weighed 146 for his fight prior to Manny, his trainer Phil Landman has been on record as saying 147 is not an issue
maybe but again Cotto chose to fight at a catchweight. What he didn't initially agree to was it being for his belt
one fight, against a fighter that had no business at 147, and if I cam correct Manny weighed what 145?
so?
he didnt force Cotto to do anything other than give up his title which was bullshit
I dont see how that comes close to what Floyd-Martinez is.
for his 160lb title?
you know that for a fact? not for nothing but he hasn't fought at 154 in the last two fights
what does this have to do with anything?
its bullshit
so?
hypthetically its Mayweather who made the challenge to fight a middleweight for his belt
that middleweight should be afforded.....THE MIDDLEWEIGHT LIMIT
now if Martinez CHOOSES (key phrase) not to weigh 160 thats on him
but he should, like Cotto, should be afforded the limit of the weight class they are (were) champs at
simple as that
He was.
Martinez said anywhere to 154-160 is fine with him. So there it is. Martinez laid it out for Floyd.

Exactly. If floyd does it, pac does it its pu$$y. If you are the money maker and you want to move up move up. Don't kinda sorta move up.
Nope bro. I knew someone would draw a Cotto example.
Pac is shitted on for that because:
1. Cotto struggles to make 147 as it is.
no he doesn't, he weighed 146 for his fight prior to Manny, his trainer Phil Landman has been on record as saying 147 is not an issue
2. Pacquiao would be healthy as an ox while Cotto sweats down.
maybe but again Cotto chose to fight at a catchweight. What he didn't initially agree to was it being for his belt
3. Pacquiao has already fought at the 147 Pound limit before.
one fight, against a fighter that had no business at 147, and if I cam correct Manny weighed what 145?
4. There was a 900k weight penalty on Cotto.
so?
5. He forced Cotto to weigh 145 pounds and Cotto didn't want his belt on the line if he had to come in under 147. But Bob put a bug in his ear.
he didnt force Cotto to do anything other than give up his title which was bullshit
I dont see how that comes close to what Floyd-Martinez is.
1. Martinez has said "anywhere" between 154 and 160 is fine with him.
for his 160lb title?
2. Martinez has ZERO issues making 154.
you know that for a fact? not for nothing but he hasn't fought at 154 in the last two fights
3. Martinez has ZERO issues making 160.
what does this have to do with anything?
4. Martinez has ZERO issue with his 160 Pound belt being on the line.
its bullshit
5. Mayweather has never fought at 160 before.
so?

it's the same ideal as forcing Cotto down to a weight AND making him fight for his strap
so in essence you are asking a fighter to not be afforded the limits of the weight class they are champions in
very hypocritical if you ask me
if Floyd were to do that he is just as big of an ass as Manny is for making Cotto fight for his belt

yeah I know that but I am just saying, Martinez fighting at 154 wouldn't be a disadvantage to him nor would it drain him so I don't see how people would be able to complain when he was just recently the 154 lbs champion, now trying to drag him lower then 154 would be a problems
Mayweather don't do the catch weight BS anyway, Mayweather is not afraid of being the smaller guy in a match, he has done it so many times before
LOL he just did one two fights ago.....
my goodness
Why wouldn't it be? Martinez said hed fight him anywhere between 154 and 160.
Its not like Martinez has an issue "getting down" to 155. Its a legit fight.
Floyd can't weigh 160.
Martinez can fight at 154 with no issues.
Makes perfect sense. Again if this was a Sturm or Pavlik I'd have a problem with it because those guys can't make 155.

Precisely. Martinez is better at 154 and has no problem making that weight.
Exactly....
I dont get the issue. I'm waiting for any one to draw a Pac-Cotto correlation so I can shoot that down..lol.

You nailed it.................
catch weight is agreed weight INBETWEEN the weight class limits, thats why they call it catch weights

would 154 even be a catch weight though? Martinez was just recently the champion at 154
