Is it hypocritical for Mayweather to take the CW? Yes. Does it take anything away from the magnitude of this fight, the risk he is facing, and the legacy of Mayweather's career should he beat Canelo in a dominating fashion? No.Comment

“Cotto was a dead man walking when he went into the ring. The casual fan doesn’t know what difference one or two pounds can make when a fighter is already down to weight.”Comment

But most flo stans will tell you the CW took a lot of shine from Pac Cotto. Not even like partial credit, but 3 years worth of abuse. Here's Ellerbe, explaining why the CW request was worth the massive hit to Floyd's rep:

I don't agree Cotto was dead at the weight, I got a pair of eyes and a working brain. But I agree there's a chance 2lbs could affect a fighter, which is what Floyd and Pac were banking on. But going up in weight to your 7th division is one thing, a divisional champ in his 5th shouldn't need such a handicap unless he's a lesser champ.Comment

You said Ellerbee was wrong when he said this and now you are cosiging it. Thats the exact type of hypocricy you are *****ing about regarding floyd.Comment

Of course you don't, he was facing Manny. So why not let your eyes and brain determine if Canelo is drained before complainin aqbout the CW?

But as I've said many times, it's more objectionable to be asking for a CW while holding a belt in the same division, on principle.Comment
