    JMM called Mayweather out and challenge at WW. The idea of Mayweather going all the way up to 160 is stupid :patsch

    No. Sergio's relevance is overstated in realtion to Floyd's legacy. Too much risk not enough reward, a Pac/Canelo/Trout :lol: win is still much better.

    I think this is what everyone really wantss to say....Everyone wants to see Floyd lose. But they know that there is No-one at at 147lbs - 154lbs that even has a chance. So they want him to fight "outside of his comfort zone" so there is a possibility of losing.

    a catch weight is ***** move. let fighters fight at 154 not 150. let fighter come in at 147 not 145. mayweather should fight canelo at 154 and martinez at 160. he has been doing that way for the longest i hope he keeps it up.

    From what I remember, the fight was at some weight limit which Mayweather reneged.

    If Floyd would agree to fight Martinez at 154 in 2013, I'll never say a bad word about him again.

    No reason Floyd should go up to 160.

    It would be a PEDcquiao move. Call it cowardice if you like.

    No worse than fighting Guerrero, Bradley, Trout, Alvarez, Marquez, Cotto, Bradley, even Pacquiao.
    There's really no one who poses a real threat to Mayweather in the 147-154 range. Trout comes closest.

    i'm not a floyd jr fan but i think he calls the shots not sergio...if he wants him in a lower weight class then it is. You know floyd jr he takes every advantage he can get, 160 is too heavy for him 154 is much better
