So Cotto at 154 but Martinez at 150? INTERESTING FLOYD!

Manny is the face of the Philipines and the face of boxing, he will be president so, he should be a true filipino and face Martinez at 150lbs...he fight Margarito at 150lbs.

Floyd was responding to a question where the reporter brought up the 150 weight and if he would fight Martinez under those terms. Who knows if the fight wouldnt be at 154. this. Nice try TS.

I guess some of these folks that are so excited about this fight forgot about this little gem: http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-jr-if-martinez-make-150-we-fight--48685 Cotto is a small dude, in fact Mayweather has some length on him. The weight at which they fight DOES NOT matter at all. Both can make 150 or 154 easily. Stop talking BS about weights.......Mayweather is just trying to save his face and doing a good job at it, and you are all buying it. He will beat Cotto's ass regardless. So why not 154 then for Martinez Floyd???? GUESS WHY FOLKS!! All this catchweight nonsense....grow up. All these so called star boxers are all the same. Oh and I'm not supporting Pacquiao, F*CK EM BOTH!!!!!! I'll be watching boxers that are hungry and willing to FIGHT! They deserve the attention not this circus. I hope Miguel wins though, because he is one of those. Floyd was answering a reporters question, just throwing out a weight, because Martinez is not a viable option at this time. Sergio already has a fight scheduled and he's a middleweight. Why don't you wait until after May 5th when the fight has a realistic possibility before you start complaining about details that are ironed out during the negotiating period.

He's just trying to get paid.

Cotto could come in at any weight and Floyd will still beat him. Martinez is a different kettle of fish, as they say.

Explain to me why this fight could not take place at......say 150? You know Cotto and Mayweather could EASILY make this) Why would there be a need to make it at 150 though? Cotto is the WBA Light Middleweight Champ. He's fought in this weight class for 3 fights in a row already. He only asked for weight stipulations in the last fight to give Margarito an inconvenience. So again, why make it at 150? Why make a specific catch weight when both fighters have no problem with the 154 limit? It makes no sense.

Explain to me why this fight could not take place at......say 150? You know Cotto and Mayweather could EASILY make this. The weight has jack to do with the credibility of this fight. It's ironic that Floyd is making this fight legit on something Pacquiao gets criticised for. (Since he claims Pac makes his name off him) Buy the PPV guys....support these frauds (YES PLURAL we are getting robbed by both parties) How can you hate on Floyd for this? He did everything he could do to make the pac fight. Hell he offered pac a guarantee 4 times greater than any guarantee he's ever had and he still turned the fight down. So Mayweather goes up in weight to fight a legit Champ in Cotto who only has two losses which both are surrounded by controversy. Pac was at a catchweight of 145 which Cotto was already struggling to make 147 and the loos to Marg, which most believe margs gloves were loaded. He avenged the marg loss, and pac refuses to fight him above 147. -A side note- It's funny how Mayweather vs Cotto couldn't get made for years, and one month after Cotto leaves top rank this fight is made. I wish pac would follow in the path of DLH, Mayweather, and Cotto. But maybe pac likes to be protected and over hyped.

Exactly. Floyd was just casually speaking that the fight could happen at 150 if Sergio wants it there. I think if real negotiations were to take place, Floyd wouldn't have a problem fighting at 154. yeah it's a bit of a stupid and weak argument this "floyd insists martinez at 150". he hasn't said that.

This is a business about making money nowadays and Sergio isnt gonna get you that but Fighting Cotto will.

What length? Floyd is 5'8", and Cotto is 5'7". he's not talking about that kind of length. he's talking about the kind of length that the rest of the guys here shouldn't be interested in...

Exactly. Floyd was just casually speaking that the fight could happen at 150 if Sergio wants it there. I think if real negotiations were to take place, Floyd wouldn't have a problem fighting at 154. I tend to agree. I think if they went into negotiations that 154 wouldn't be an issue. And let's be honest, Martinez will be more than willing to take a lower purse. So that' not an issue. The weight I don't think would be an issue. So hopefully, these two can get it on at the end of this year or early next year. This is the fight I want to see now. I give up on Mayweather-Pacquaio. I always said if the fight doesn't happen May 5th then it won't happen at all.

This weight thing is comedic. Now 154 is "Cotto's weight"?????? Miguel wanted Tony to fight him at 150. The weight thing is Floyd's selling point for this shiit fight. The weight thing is funny, but this is a good fight. It's not great, Cotto-Ortiz would have been better. Oh, well.

He didn't say he has to. But, what he did say was that if Sergio wants to fight at 150 then that fight can happen. Exactly. Floyd was just casually speaking that the fight could happen at 150 if Sergio wants it there. I think if real negotiations were to take place, Floyd wouldn't have a problem fighting at 154.

Did i miss something? When did floyd say sergio have to come to 150? He didn't say he has to. But, what he did say was that if Sergio wants to fight at 150 then that fight can happen. It was in response to Sergio saying he would fight Mayweather at 150.

Did i miss something? When did floyd say sergio have to come to 150?

Like I said, Mayweather-Martinez at 150 is gonna be impossible to make as Mayweather will be getting alot of hate, he's hated as it is but the move itself will look cowardly, which is actually what I want. I don't think Mayweather cares whether he faces him at 150,154 but of course he wouldn't mind making his job easier, but because he's now facing Cotto at 154 I strongly doubt we'll see Mayweather-Martinez happen at anything other than 154 or higher.

The last picture is photoshopped. Pacquiao's arm makes it obvious. Also Cotto wasn't wearing red trunks in the Pacquiao fight. Yeah, 100% photo shopped. He's missing his tattoo as well.

Cotto & Pacquiao were almost identical in height. Floyd has a 72″ reach & Cotto has a 67" reach. So Floyd will be a bit taller and have the longer arms. Not that size is what will win this fight for floyd anyways, just sayin. both wearing shoes (cotto has his head ****ed slightly, would be a tad taller if straight): http://i.cnn.net/si/fannation/pacquiao-cotto-wide.jpg Pac wearing shoes, Cotto not (slightly taller cuz of shoes): http://www.boxeomundial.net/news_images/1/11_13_2009_cotto_pacquiao.jpg in ring http://www.pinoyshoutouts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_04711.jpg The last picture is photoshopped. Pacquiao's arm makes it obvious. Also Cotto wasn't wearing red trunks in the Pacquiao fight.

He's fighting Cotto at 154, so he can fight Martinez at 154. There's no excuse. After this fight, his main goal should be pursuing a fight with Martinez at 154.
