Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If Martinez Can Make 150, We Can Fight

[spoonwars]

Floyd was against catchweights, now he's okay with it and deep down the *****s are hugging like there's no nuts tomorrow.

Since Floyd has a title at 154, how is 150 even a catchweight for him?

this made no sense

[WARQUEZ]

Uh oh. Another Corrales situation.

Where the challenger decided to be ****** and call out Floyd at a certain weight they can't make and end up being drained come fight night.

Martinez was too desperate, the dummy should of atleast said 154.

It would be kind of odd if Ward wanted to fight Dawson at a catchweight of 164, wouldn't it? Again, Floyd. Has. A. Title. At. 154.

[Carpe Diem]

Floyd was challenged @ 150, he's not requesting or calling Sergio out he's answering to a challenge. I think it's a fair fight @ 150. Floyd is not trying to move up to 54 so why fight there if not for the challenge.

No it's not fair. Floyd has preached and criticized Manny's catch weight fights, he should be stick to his guns and fight Martinez at 154 lb. He'd look like a big hypocrite if he doesn't. If Ben Thompson wants to show his unbiased side, he should question Floyd about it.

Floyd has never been close to being 160 on the night , you kids throw some BS around trying to make fact out of unsubstantiated forum chatter .

floyd never re-weighed unofficially for the marquez fight

he refused. people in the know regularly speculate that it's the heaviest he's ever been on the night of a fight
he certainly looked the part.


i'm also old enough to have kids of my own, and they'd whoop your ass, punk.

i dont even want to talk about what i'd do to you

This is nothing like Mayweather vs Corrales.

Corrales was fighting at SFW at the time he fought Floyd, whether he couldn't make it or not it's not Floyd's problem. Your post would have been much better if Corrales was at 140, and came down to fight Floyd at 130. But that's not what happened.

I don't understand why people don't understand the difference in someone making you come down in weight to someone challenging you to fight at a certain weight. Manny called for and made people come down in weight or no fight, while Sergio challenged Floyd to a fight @ 150. From Floyd's perspective this is not a catch-wt fight this a weight agreement. No one is being made to do anything where in Manny's case he made fighters come down in weight to fight. Two totatlly different scenarios. It's like if Bute challenged Sergio @ 162 and Sergio accepted.

[New England]

While I really want to see this fight, I'd feel bad for Macklin if the fight was cancelled. Plus a lot of people probably bought their tickets already. That would suck.


A 150 catchweight is what Martinez specifically offered to Floyd though. Of course he'll take it.

making an offer to get your name out there is one thing


actaully making 150 lbs, when you havnt in almost ten years, a few months after your 37th birthday, is something entirely different.

[Mr. Fantastic]

Watch how most Floyd Stans defend the Catch Weight like there is not tomorrow.
