There is NOTHING wrong with Floyd facing Martinez at a catch weight.

    At the end of the day If its at 160. Martinez wont come in at 160 anyway. He'll weigh in at about 156. He doesnt need any extra weight vs. Floyd.

      145 was cotto's number, not pac's. but if floyd asks for a catchweight, then its exactly the same thing as when pac asked for a catchweight

        And a fight at 54' is for the 54' belt. Not his 60' belt. If he wants that Sergio can weigh 60' if he wants to.

        Whatever weight its at, Floyd gets killed in this fight regardless so I don't even care tbh.


        Will you bet all of your points on that if the fight comes off? I will.

          Fair point. I just don't want floyd negotiating the limit because I always hate that. If you want the belt beat the champ at his weight.

            Mayweather has never made an issue about weight so I don't think he would start with Martinez, Martinez will likely have the option to fight at 154-160, Mayweather will likely come in no higher then 154 regardless, if they fight

              Stop lying. Pacquiao's team wanted 143 but Cotto refused to come in under 145. The negotiations for a catch weight came from Pacaquiao's team, not Cotto's. He didn't have a choice. No catchweight, no fight.

                First why would Floyd be seeking other options at that point..

                If Floyd fights Martinez then its obvious he has ducked Pac...

                    I didn't think that was fair. If you want the middleweight belt, fight for the belt. Not the 157 pound championship.

                      it's not a lie. team pac wanted 143. team cotto wanted 145. team pac gave into team cotto's limit. so 145 was cotto's number, not pac's.
