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

    No need for a catchweight. It's a load of bs.


    I'm sure if Floyd wanted to fight Martinez he would have no problem going to the real weight.

      Cotto was adamamant about not wanting to defend the title at less than 147. Bob somehow convinced him to fight at 145.

        cotto wasn't adamant was he, since 145 was his number, not pac's.

          145 was Bob's number. Without it cotto wouldn't have made the biggest payday of his career.

            there will be no catchweight. floyd isnt interested in his belt and i really doubt he's even interested in the fight. the fight will be at 154 if nything. its not for the 160 strap so no1 shld have a prolem with it.

                STFU... Mayweather wouldn't even fight Cotto at 145....Cotto would have to be past the age of 34 to fight him.

                  bingo

                  this is in no way about Martinez and his choice in fact I commend him like I did Cotto for taking a fight regardless of the silly issues being put in front of him

                    145 was cotto's number. it is 1 lbs south of his weight against clottey.

                      moral of the story, Floyd can make fighters come out of their comfortable weights to fight without getting ***** from his fans. Anyone who isn't Floyd WILL get ****ted on by Floyd's fans.
