Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Defend 147 and 154 Titles in One Night?

[richardt]

The fight would have to be at 147 for all three weight classes to count

Exactly! And if it is for the 154 and 160 titles, both Mayweather and Cotto would have to come in at or below 154 and the winner if it is Mayweather, would win one title and still have two others, total three. If Cotto were to win he would have two titles, picking up 154 and defending 160, not winning 147 obviously. That's a lot of strings to pull though because the sanctioning body for the dormant title (such as the one Floyd has at 147) would have to lose out on making any money. They would probably strip any other fighter for being inactive for that period of time while the fighter defends his 154 pound title and attempts to win a 160 pound title.

Mayweather probably wants to face Cotto again and have the 147 to 160 pound titles all on the line.

I don't see Cotto making 147 and he would have to for the 147 pound titles to be on the line. If he could possibly make 147 then as long as all sanctioning bodies agree.......but with Mayweather's name and money, that may not be too hard. Biggest issue is Cotto making 147. If that can happen, all 3 titles could be on the line and the 4th one, the WBA 147 title too.

He's fighting Kahn because Maidana is too small to fight at 154. Do I smell a (excuse) reason for not re-matching Maidana.

??? too small? lol

What's all the confusion here? Floyd is trying to use a gimmick to keep his 154 title without fighting at 154..nothing more to discuss....

It's a catch weight on steroids...because his opponent must 147 also...

All you Floyd-worshipers must be tired of making fools out of yourselves as hypocrites to defend Floyd...

[antrecasner]

If Floyd was to fight cotto at a weight of 160 with all 3 major titles on the line, it would make sense. Otherwise no.

I don't know if anything like that has been done before but that would be great.

[Snake4380]

It was the WBC Pres that was talking. If two boxers who were never ranked nor fought at jr. middle can shamelessly fight for the vacant WBC jr middle title like Pac and Marga at a catch weight of 150 lbs, anything at WBC is
possible.

Margarito was actually allowed to weigh-in @ 150 though...Floyd's opponent would come in at 147 LOL..so I guess you're right...Floyd will be able to defend his title against most likely a guy who has never even fought at 154 (e.g. Maidana, Danny Garcia)

[Snake4380]

No one deny it would be awesome if Floyd fought Cotto again grabbed his 160 belt and then went down to 147 fought Pac for all three for his 50th fight. Everyone in the world would watch that.

Yah nice dream LOL... Another Floyd fan who wants to believe...

[jas]

sanctioning bodies are a complete joke

[Snake4380]

The bottom line is...Floyd will defend his 147 and 154 pound titles against Maidana or Garcia at 147... Wow so epic.. ::yawn::

Floyd is really trying to use gimmicks to crack that 1 million PPV mark I see... I would not be surprised if Mayweather starts saying he'll consider fighting Pac again just to promote his fight...
