    Actually in articles posted Cotto has said 154 is his best and most comfortable weight and thanked PBF for fighting him at 154. I think he just wanted to make Margarito lose weight and fight at the same weight he fought Manny at. Cotto knew he could make 150 a lot easier than Margarito could.

      The only fight at 154 or above that matters is the Martinez fight.

        Pac rejected a 5050 split in 09....

        HE is the reason this fight ain't happened...

        10 million for every lb over 147
        8 oz gloves
        14 day de-juice/cutoff period..............and a 5050 split............

        Damn...that's a good deal

        Cotto just admitted Mayweather WAS NEVER IN HIS PLANS and that Arum NEVER even mentioned a Floyd bout with him...

        All the while Arum was telling the media Floyd was ducking him..

        Mayweather was never in Team Pacquio's plans...

        Bob knows what he's doing..he KNOWS he doesn't have the fighters to beat FMJ....the ONLY way he wins is in the media.

          Maklin and Barker makes Sergio matter??

          They pulled those guys from the seats..at least that's what they looked like.

          Sergio is a MIDDLEWEIGHT....there are different weight classes for a reason.

          He's TOO BIG...

          You don't see Sergio calling out Ward at a catchwieght or the winner of Froch/Bute...

          They're too big..

          Martinez can fight Arthur Abraham in Germany if he wants to get paid...but I don't think he wants the right hands that go with it.

              I hope he don't play around with his weight too much. That was the downfall of Roy Jones.

                Go to 160 and fight Martinez.

                That's what I want to see.

                  people seem to think Mayweather beats Martinez at Middleweight which is ludicrous thinking Martinez is far too big for Floyd no matter how good he is. I however can not see that fight happening i think after Floyd beats cotto he will try and lure pacman to a fight at 154lbs because i cant see De La Hoya and Golden boy sacrificing there prize possesion for the future in Alverez to be beat by Floyd at such an early stage of his career i think they will chase a Coto fight after they brutally beat Mosley.

                    WTF are you on about ? 150 is not even a weight class, its a catchweight. Fight is good at 154 for the belt. Have you not had enough already of the catchweights.
