    Yes. Mexican-Puerto Rican. Young fighter vs seasoned warrior. On Mexican independence day.

    Floyd-Cotto II would still outdo Cotto-Alvarez, by a little anyways as both are huge fights.

    We'll see if Floyd allows Miguel to weigh whatever he wants to now. I'm thinking Floyd would rather face a different Puerto Rican in 140lb Danny Garcia.

    but danny's camp = smart

    they want a 147 tune-up first

    as far as weight, 155 just seems to be a smart move since floyd will struggle to make 155 and cotto came in comfortable at that weight.

    Garcia is who's being rumored for Floyd's Sept fight. Rafael and a few other's reporting that it's pretty much agreed.

    Floyd doesn't have to weigh in at 155 lbs, he can weigh in at his usual 150 lbs and still fight at 160 lbs.

    Cotto will likely weigh 155 lbs regardless but catch weight will only be used to discredit the win and Cotto will fight the same regardless of whether there is a catch weight or not.

    Last fight wasn't close enough for rematch.

    Mayweather and Cotto will not be fighting again. Cotto is too closely aligned with Arum, and has other options.

    No it makes no sense, just have it at 160, doesn't matter if they come in lighter there's no reason to put a catchweight tag on it.

    Why fight at 155? They can fight at 160

    Mayweather, evidently, won't even fight at 154 now (see Canelo Alvarez 152 catch-weight.)
