      Thoughts?
      He answered the reporter asking him would he fight SM at 150 that Manny turned down , he said he would , thats just answering a straight question .

      He discredited the CW against Cotto , put it in perspective kid , speech is not always applicable to everything like a contract for life in all scenarios , speech is governed by circumstances .

          I think the t/ s is referring to the most recent interview on media day when he said he wanted to see Martinez vs dirrell and he would fight Sergio at a catchweight. Could be wrong though.

            Isn't that being a bit biased towards Floyd?

            Had it been Pacquiao saying the same thing, Pacquiao would be heavily criticized. A catchweight is a catchweight in relation to dissing one guy doing it, and then applying it in your own situation. Nevertheless I don't see these two ever fighting, but it is contradictory.

              he says "they are talking" about him & Martinez at a CW. He's not saying it himself. Also, some people wonder what CW really means. Floyd may also consider 154 a CW since he's really a WW and Sergio is a MW.

                Obviously in that case it's not a catchweight as he mentioned. He would've said at "154lbs".

                  Sergio said that he was willing to go down to 150 to fight both Manny and Floyd. Floyd was told what Sergio suggested and he said he was willing to fight him at 150. If I recall Manny turned it down.

                    "They said me or Martinez at a catch weight, but I'm not ducking and dodging no one..."

                    What was there to gather from that?

                      I don't remember a fight between sergio versus pacquiao being worked out. How did manny turned down a catchweigh 150 fight against sergio again? was it ever on the table or, was it just a hearsay?
