Does it make sense for Mayweather to fight Cotto at 160?

[kej718]

He does not actually have to fight @ 160lbs though. He could do what he just did with Miadana and fight @ 154lb for both the 154lb and 160lb titles. If he wins it would be a big deal because it would be for the Lineal Championship. Winning this would mean that he would be the first fighter since Henry Armstrong to hold 3 titles in 3 different weight classes @ the same time. This fight would be more meaningful that Pac at this point (he should fight Garcia, and the winner gets Floyd for his last fight).

Yes please.

It makes sense in that is is a big fight, a historical accomplishment and Cotto is not a real middleweight.

Most people would over blow that angle of the fight though which makes the fight unappealing to me. If they were just going to have a fight (at whatever weight) to do a rematch I would be much cooler with it.

Either way they build it I would be cool with it.

And Cotto has been looking better since teaming up with Roach, so it would be interesting to see what would happen.

If he fights Cotto at MW it's a cherry pick! Why fight a guy you already beat why not fight a live dog in GGG

why not GGG then???

Not as much sense as Manny, but a whole lot more sense than the piece of schit fight yesterday.

Just to make history and capture the middleweight crown? He'd be one of the few people in history to have held 3 different crowns at the same time.

If the Pacquiao fight can't be made in May, I'd want to see the Cotto fight again.

What are your thoughts?

Not a fight I wanna see,but legacy wise why not ? Floyd believes he is the TBE,what better way of proving than winning a belt in yet another divison,160 belts defended at doesn't feel right but Floyd's numbers are gonna take a hit for his next fight unless it is against Cotto or PAC,and we all know he ain't ever fighting PAC.

He does not actually have to fight @ 160lbs though. He could do what he just did with Miadana and fight @ 154lb for both the 154lb and 160lb titles. If he wins it would be a big deal because it would be for the Lineal Championship. Winning this would mean that he would be the first fighter since Henry Armstrong to hold 3 titles in 3 different weight classes @ the same time. This fight would be more meaningful that Pac at this point (he should fight Garcia, and the winner gets Floyd for his last fight).

Garcia vs PAC would be awesome,could Danny overcome Manny a Floyd show down would be huge,what a fight to go out on.

Sure it makes sense, first fight was competitive, so it probably won't happen.

Yeah just like the first fight never happened or the competitive Castillo and Maidana never got rematches.

Maybe because he'll get the actual MW championsship and 10 x more money?
