Mayweather was bragging about fighting Cotto at his now natural weight of 154lbs. Now saying paquiao cheated by making Cotto come down to 145lbs, and he want Sergio to come down to 150lbs doing the same paquiao did to Cotto and Margarito. To me thats picking and choosing and not playing on an even field, and this are people/fighters who the boxing world sees as P4P best fighters. The P4P fighter supposed to take all comers and fight with out stipulations, the P4P/ champion fighter is not suppose to make the other fighter subject to thier wishes/rules to get the fight!!
The same Cotto Manny ducks without another draining CW , you boys are so off in the head , look at this thread aqs another example of warped thinking lol , Floyd was asked WOULD he fight Sergio at 150 he said sure , he wasnt asked would he at 154 160 or what ever , now thats turned around by the idiots in here that 150 is THE weight Floyd demanded ,,, get out of here you bunch of morons , Floyd has said he might go to 160 if he can , so that whole chapter is still open !
Wrong. In that video he was clearly asked if he'd fight Martinez at 154. He then in fact said he'd do it at a catchweight & tried to pass Martinez off to Dirrel.
Mayweather fought Cotto cause he knew Cotto wasn't the same guy he was at 147 and prime.

Man up for what, lmao. These comments came before he fought Cotto, lmao.
You're right, Floyd fans shouldn't have to man up. They never do. He already signed to fight Cotto. Therefore there's no longer any excuses.
He was asked by a reporter if he would fight Sergio, who said he'd come down to 150 lbs......
He didn't specifically say I will fight Sergio, but only at 150. On the other hand, Manny said he'd fight Segio 100% at 150, than back tracked said only 147.
"hopefully we can fight at a catchweight"
Owned. lol!!!
sergio walks around at 180 lbs, r u guys insane... asking mayweather and pacquiao to go up to 160 when they cant even break the scale after rehydration more than 151lbs is ludicrous...
Floyd should have fought Manny before that went south, if he avoids fighting Sergio at 154 then there isnt really much that can be said to justify his actions
Manny should've fought Floyd also. Not fighting Serg won't hurt Floyds legacy one bit.
Nigel Benn should've fought Jones or Toney.
Well damn, Floyd fans need to man up right now. Not only did Floyd in fact say he'll fight Martinez at a catchweight, he also tried to push him off on Dirrel at 168, real talk. Because that reported specifically said Martinez would fight him at 154 & Floyd did mention the catchweight.Man up for what, lmao. These comments came before he fought Cotto, lmao.

Floyd fighting Sergio at 157 catch weight for the Middleweight title to me would be impressive. For Floyd it would be his 6th weight class and would no doubt put a big stamp on his legacy with a win. If he loses, no harm IMO is done. He would've taken a risk and even looking good in the fight (which I think he would), it doesn't hurt him in the long run.
If he wanted Cotto to be comfortable, he should want the same for Martinez.

Floy said he can beat any body up 154lbs, he fought De la Hoya and Cotto at 154lbs. Sergio will fight him at 154lbs, now what's Mayweather waiting for, againg he only takes fights that he has a good chance of winning. He said his fighting Cotto an his now natural weinght, why not fight Sergio at 154lbs and say the same thing he said about Cotto. A lot of people think Sergio is a small middle weight, so can definately make require 154lbs to fight floy with crazy stipulation from floyd.
Do you understand how rehydration works in boxing? If he fought Sergio at 154 then chances are he will rehydrate to something like 168+. Floyd is a natural 147er. If he can't even make 154 for Cotto then what does that tell you? When Floyd fought Oscar, Oscar came into the ring at something like 165(maybe that was Ortiz) while Floyd was at 148 pounds. That is too much of a weight advantage. The more weight you catchweight someone at the more they won't rehydrate back on the fight night.

Weight difference is bigger
Sergio is two weight classes above Mayweather. Pacman was one division below Cotto. I think the comparison should be equal between both fights. Since it is a bigger difference, maybe they can meet in the middle, but to be honest, Mayweather doesn't need to fight Martinez. He is fighting in his correct division at 160. He should fight at the lowest 154 lb fighters and leave Pacquaio and Mayweather alone to settle their own score.
It was Segio who suggested 150 for the fight. He offered this for Floyd and Manny. Floyd said if he can make 150 then they can fight. He didn't demand sergio to come to 150 because Sergio offered.
