    It usually benefits the smaller fellow.But the weight is still within the division.And what it does is to level or somewhat cut the disadvantage of the smaller fellow in a way by having the bigger fellow not to carry too much weight advantage.

      Then Pac would benefit again. Cotto came at 154 so the weight wasn't that heavy for him, I expected him to come around 152 but he came at the limit. No more catchweights for titles. But the money for Pac is so good that he might take it unless Mayweather comes knocking

        It should be at 154 if theres a catchweight i say 150+..I cant say Cotto will win but we'd see a totally different fight from the 1st one..
        Yeah I think it will be a different fight from the first.Now that Stewy is his trainer.

        But I think under 150 is a better catchweight though.Both will be faster.

          Well it's the limit.......He can still come at 149 and the fight continue.....
          THEY DON"T HAVE TO BE 154!.

              No more catch weights, I rather Pac win without it so there would be no doubts or excuses. It happened once and it doesn't have to happen again cause the only one to gain is Pac ( and Cotto's pockets if he lands the fight)

Catchweights are good for extremities. For example, Pacquiao coming up from 135 to 147 never having founght there to fight De La Hoya, I am cool with that catchweight. But once you fight in that weight class and are willing to fight other fighters like Mayweather at 147 why is there a need for the catchweight? Should Cotto have made Yuri fight him at 150, remember, Yuri was the guy Pac turned down becuase he was to tall for him... Your telling me that now Cotto should make Martinez fight him at a catchweight of 150, to defend his 154 belt. C'mon man, I don't even know why I entertain these discussions anymore because Pacquiao fans are always tunnel vision and refuse to listen to reason. You guy have selective memories, only want to use the case that enhances your case and you throw out anything anybody else says. The next thing I know I will have a million Pac fans calling me racist or dumb or some other ****** ****.
                i agree. i dont think pac has a big part in this as much as roach cause he did ask shane 4 a catchweight on camera. i been saying pacs camp agenda was to drain the threats. they gave dlh 147 they knew he been north of that class 4 years, clottey 147 cause he dont throw punches. on the other hand asked shane 143 (which was declined), cotto 145, will there be 1 4 floyd?
