R i n g TV . com: What do you make of Mayweather's requesting a catchweight for the first time?
SRL: It kind of neutralizes things and balances things out. I would have asked for it too. You try to get every advantage. Sometimes, it's not just a mental thing, but also, a psychological thing.
Put it this way. Could I have beaten Lalonde if he had been given two or three more pounds? Sure. It would have been the same result. Lalonde has never said, "Well, that weight killed me."
In fact, he was open to the weight reduction, the catchweight. He was like, "Hey, I'll make the weight, and I'll knock Ray out."
It's just what you do. I don't think it's major factor, but psychologically, it's a big factor, if that makes sense. You always wanted the psychological edge.
