    If Mayweather fought Cotto at 154lbs

    Mayweather was bragging about fighting Cotto at his now natural weight of 154lbs. Now saying paquiao cheated by making Cotto come down to 145lbs, and he want Sergio to come down to 150lbs doing the same paquiao did to Cotto and Margarito. To me thats picking and choosing and not playing on an even field, and this are people/fighters who the boxing world sees as P4P best fighters. The P4P fighter supposed to take all comers and fight with out stipulations, the P4P/ champion fighter is not suppose to make the other fighter subject to thier wishes/rules to get the fight!!

      He was asked by a reporter if he would fight Sergio, who said he'd come down to 150 lbs......

      He didn't specifically say I will fight Sergio, but only at 150. On the other hand, Manny said he'd fight Segio 100% at 150, than back tracked said only 147.

            So Mayweather basically fights at natural weight when he knows that he can win. Mayweather = Manny P.

              A catchweight with a 154lb fighter and a 160 lb fighter is 157 lbs, Sergio said he is willing to go to 154, so Floyd is giving him 3 lbs?

                So we know that CW is 150 lbs???

                If Floyd fought him at 150, it's a C fight. Really diminishes it.

                152, it's a B- fight. Not as bad as 150, still Sergio shouldn't be going below 154 in an ideal world.

                154, it's an A- fight. Sergio usually only weighs around 157/158, and Floyd is really too small for 154 to begin with, let alone anything above.

                155-159, it's an A fight. A CW, which takes away the A+, but Sergio only weighs around 157 anyway, and Floyd going above 154 would be huge.

                160, it's an A+. I highly doubt Floyd would ever fight at the full MW limit though, as he's already too small for 154.

                  It was Segio who suggested 150 for the fight. He offered this for Floyd and Manny. Floyd said if he can make 150 then they can fight. He didn't demand sergio to come to 150 because Sergio offered.
