    He CAN win a MW title at a 156 catchweight, but he shouldn't. It's like SRL catchweight of his 168 and 175 belts. Total BS.

    No. F*ck that ****. Make 160 if you want a 160 Champion belt. Catchweights for official championship fights are a cancer.

    keyboard warriors eh, the ****ing irony of your perverse desires. Floyd does not fight for fans, and rightly so too!

    No you can only win the title at the weight of the class how the **** can you be a champion at a weight when you fight 4 pounds below that weight.

    I voted yes on the poll but I honestly do believe that if it comes to a fight between Mayweather-Martinez for the Ring Magazines World Middleweight Championship, which is currently held by Martinez of course, then Floyd will fight him at the actual weight limit of 160 and not at a catchweight.

    Possible but just disappointed that Mayweather fought Alvarez @ 152 for a championship fight.

    Mayweather should have never spoke about Pacquiao and his catchweights... and at the end he does the same thing.

    True, but keep in mind that Manny has done it more times than Floyd has and whether people want to believe it or not it was Canelo's management team that came up with the proposal of the 152lb catchweight limit and not Floyd.

    Plus 152, which is just two pounds south of the Jr. Middlweight divisions weight limit is more reasonable than the 150 lb catcweight limit that Pac & Freddy Roach had demanded for the Margarito fight for the same Jr. Middleweight strap a few years before.

    True, but bare in mind Mayweather had fought @ the full 154 pounds twice against De La Hoya & Miguel Cotto and is a champion at that weight. Also fought @ a catchweight against Marquez.

    Manny Pacquiao is a small Welterweight who barely even weighs @ 147 during weigh ins and Pacquiao made it clear after the Margarito fight.. he will just stay @ Welterweight.

    First it was blood test, then it was purse split, now its Bob Arum. LOL, could you imagine Leonard making excuse after excuse or demand after demand to block the fight with Hearns/Duran/Haglar. Mayweather ducked the biggest fight in the last 30 yrs. just admit it. Even his best friend 50 cent said he ducked the fight. Give me a break. Yes he is a great fighter & would probably beat Pacquiao, but he did duck this fight!

    50 was never Floyd's best friend, and second, nobody DUCKED your hero Pac. What should've happened was PAc should've DUCKED that counter right Marquez threw, lmmfao.
