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

[The Big Dunn]

Will you criticize Floyd for making JMM fight @ 144 (and originally wanting it at 147)

Will you criticize Floyd for making Hatton fight at 147?

Or is it "different" when it comes to Floyd? Am I about to see fight nights weights and all that jazz because its "different" when it comes to Floyd?

In championship fights! If you make a catchweight and there is not title fine. But when you are the bigger draw and trying to win a champioship above your weight class, don't make the champ fight at a catchweight!

I know you arent pointing this at me but I did openly criticize Floyd for making a lightweight come to welter to fight THEN ignoring the catchweight

Will you criticize Floyd for making Hatton fight at 147?

well this would hold water if Hatton didn't openly admit to wanting to campaign at 147 then have a fight there to boot

I agree I think the true fans and the ones who only see things that benefit have just separated their selves

in the end having any champ be restricted and then fight for their title is wrong

it was wrong when Oscar did it to BHop
it was wrong when Manny did it to Cotto

and it would be wrong if Mayweather did it to Martinez

regardless of how comfortable anyone thinks Martinez is at making 154

[Pullcounter]

for the title?

no 100% wrong

that was a negotation tactic. cotto just wanted more money for the title.

[Calilloyd]

pac wanted the catchweight, but 145 was cotto's number, not pac's

Not for the title. You're wrong.

[The Big Dunn]

Who wanted the catchweight? Pacquaio or Cotto? You're trying to make it seem like this was for Cotto's benefit. If Cotto had his way it would have been at 147. So no, 145 was not HIS number.

technically, pullcounter is right, Manny didn't ask for 145, but Bob made cotto fight at 145. The real question is why didn't pac fight for the 147 lb WBO champioship at 147 lbs.

[Pullcounter]

But 3 lbs south of the tune up before pac.

yup, and 7 lbs higher than pac's last fight before the cotto fight. remember, pac weighed in at 138 lbs against hatton.

Simple. Easy to understand!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Of course because hes Floyd Mayweather and according to you, he can do no wrong...

[Pullcounter]

Not for the title. You're wrong.

that was just a negotiation tactic to get more money.

[Tha_Greatest]

You're right Cali.

But Martinez kind of waived that right and left it in Floyds hands to decide.

if floyd thinks that martinez waived that right, martinez can easily just tell floyd the fight aint happening cause the fight isnt signed, every fighter changes their mind during negotiations and that means martinez will not be plan b for floyd if floyd thinks martinez cant negotiate on the right to stay at 160(no way did he wave the right to fight at 160, my opinion
