Comments Thread For: Martinez-Cotto Will Have No Catch-Weight Clause

Really??? Floyd beat Cotto for the WBA at the full limit of 154

Do you know what lineal titles are? Mayweather-Cotto wasn't for the LINEAL title. The WBA isn't the lineal title.

Mayweather-Canelo was for the LINEAL title and the weight limit was 152. A CW. Move along.

Take note Money May. When you fight for lineal titles, fight at the FULL division limit. Weight doesn't matter. Maravilla is getting his ass stomped by the KING.

Mayweather has won 3 Lineal Titles at the full weight limit.

he was referring to his fight with canelo...******

Lol, as if Floyd hasn't fought ppl in his 4th and 5th weight class without a catch weight...u guys are idiots. Sad part is u don't know it. 160 would be cotto's 4th weight class. This is not something Floyd hasn't done before.

Yes he fought people in his fifth weight class without a catchweight and then strangely at the third time of asking, he requests a catchweight.

Fair play to Cotto. I think they seriously believe that Martinez is finished and there for the taking. He's in for a rude awakening IMO.

Yea, because there is no way a near 40 year old coming off 2 knee surgeries, a hand injury and nearly 2 years off is such a beast... Get your head out of your ass. I don't have a problem if you think Sergio will win but anyone expecting Martinez from the Williams/Pavlik years are flat out idiots.

Seriously, he looked like **** and got a gift decision in his last fight. He also totally gassed up against a guy who was throwing punches between hitting his bong. Expecting a young, fresh and sharp Sergio Martinez is truly laughable, it is what Cotto should be training for but that guy is long gone. The fact is we are looking at 2 aging fighters... I'll go with the one who has been more active and has a style that isn't reliant solely based off reflex which Sergio's style completely is.

Don't act like this was Cotto's idea.

I'm pretty sure Cotto wanted a catchweight, but it was denied by Team Martinez. So in order to make the fight, he had to agree to eventually roll with 160 lbs or step away from the table.

The Canelo fight will still be there for Cotto. I think he and his team genuinely believe they can beat Martinez whereas they know Canelo would probably beat him up. Two paydays are better than one.

this is one of the most ******ed post ive read here what makes you think cotto will be scared of canelo if anything there scared about the scoring knowing it will go to the cards

Except when he fought Canelo

Right.

But he still has 3 Lineal Titles at the full weight limit.

So I don't think he need to take any notes considering he's already done it 3 times.
