    im suprised nowone is talking about this fight being possible. i dont want it to happn for obvious reasons. mostly because i want may v pac. but i hear a part of the reason why the pac v may hasnt been done yet is a weight issue. may wants it at a higher weight , so if may wants to move up i think cotto my creep his way in discussion for a may 5th bout wit floyd may at 154

    Where did you hear this? I can't imagine Mayweather having a problem fighting at 147 when he makes the weight with relative ease.

    Roach mentioned it two years ago. However, I have a feeling he was talking out of his ass, considering Mayweather has fought twice at 147 since then.

    str8 wack, namsayin'?

    No seriously, what the hell are you on about? Last we heard from Floyd there wasn't even any ongoing negotiations for the Pacquiao fight. Cotto - Mayweather won't happen simply because Cotto is Bob Arums. The only Arum fighter to fight Floyd would be Pacquiao, because of the magnitude of the fight.

    There are SO many excuses from both sides over the years why that fight hasn't happened that I no longer believe 95% of it.

    I would interested in seeing this fight, even it is about 5 years past its expiration date. Would still be huge (in terms of the event) for the sport.

    Mayweather moving up to 154?

    Haven't hear that. I highly doubt it. He weighed 149 on the WBC 30 day pre-fight weigh in.

    Besides, if he were to fight at 154 next, wouldn't there be a lot more money and less promotional struggles should he fight Alvarez?

    Massive Floyd fan but i dont wanna see it as i also like Cotto......He would get torn to pieces.

    But for the past couple of years i have thought it might happen in the future at some point. Its a big revenue fight.
