      That's about it for me.
      Tell that to Cotto and Oscar. He fought them at 154, i still don't see why he can't fight Martinez there either.

Why is Mayweather a chicken for not facing Martinez at 160lbs, and Pacquiao not a chicken for running from a fight with Cotto at 154lbs? Especially seeing as Pacquiao had the comfort of knowing he could beat Cotto. Even though the catchweight had nothing to do with the previous result, Pacquiao needed another one. Why? It must have been important as they ran from the fight without it..... straight into a humiliating KO from a smaller, older opponent.

        I'll ask again, why was is fine for Pacquiao to run from a fight with Cotto at 154lbs?

        (I think this is what you call "lawyering". Using facts to put someone in an impossible position to answer a question)

        Consider yourselves LAWYERED.
        Cos Pac already destroyed Cotto and Pac fought at 150 and didnt think he was big enough, tried it and it wasnt for him. Why should he fight again there if he said he wouldnt just to make exeptions for Cotto and supposedly give Cotto a better chance?
        If Cotto really wants a rematch he will take 147 or nothing. Floyd should fight at Sergio at 154. If he wants more credit and a greater win at 160 will be greater.
        Critics couldnt have a go at Floyd if Floyd beat Sergio at 160 other than Sergio had a off night or got old overnight.

          Floyd is a bit small for 154. He's not even big for a welterweight. . They make weight classes for a reason.
          Floyd couldnt make the CW at WW for JMM. So Floyd is a big WW. He can make 154 easily, but Sergio cant.

          Does FLoyd not take the toughest challenges?

              I had a feeling you'd try the "he already destroyed Cotto" and "Pacquiao said he isn't big enough" excuses, and you proved as predictable as Tuesday after Monday.

              Let me remind you, Team Pacquiao were the ones who wanted the fight. Roach himself stated that they wanted a fight for Pacquiao to look good in so they'd have some leverage in negotiations with Mayweather, a Pacquiao had looked pretty lackluster in his last three performances. They chose Cotto, but wanted another catchweight. Instead of showing some guts and fighting him at 154lbs, they needed another catchweight after "destroying him" with a catchweight.
              Pacquiao refuses to take a risk he's taken before against someone he destroyed before and you're all: "fine with me pal".

              Mayweather may not take a risk he hasn't even ventured near (no 158lbs catchweight to test the waters) and if he doesn't, you're: "HE'S A DUCKER! But Manny isn't for doing the same thing..... well because I love him".

              Again, why aren't you on Pacquiao's case for running from a fight HE wanted, because he couldn't have his trusty catchweight? Did he need it so badly? I thought it had nothing to do with the result. If not, why ask for another one unless he didn't think he could win without it? I thought Pacquiao was the risk taker and nothing like Mayweather. Proving he could beat Cotto without catchweight would've removed all doubts. Guess that didn't matter to Pacquiao. He wanted the easier option and the easier option knocked his a$$ out.

                    Well Pac did already destroy Cotto didnt he, so why should he move up to 154? When Floyd beats someone convincingly does he ever give rematches? Did people think he had to give JMM a rematch, and did he give JMM a rematch? I think the answer is no, so all the other stuff you wrote is utter rubbish and i dont need to say anymore here.

                    Why should Pac have to bloat himself up and down in weight. Hes offering cotto a chance. Beggars cant be choosers.
