Did FMJ actually say "catch weights are meaningless"?

yes

 

"I would never want to put a fighter in a position where he's not comfortable. I want a guy when he's at his best. If he's at his best at 154 and he's strong and he's solid, then that's the fight we're fighting at. I walk around at 150, but at the end of the day - skills pay the bills.... Give me the guys where they are comfortable at their weight so there are no excuses."

--Floyd Mayweather, February of 2012.

 

"I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao caught him at a catch weight. He wasn't the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn't hydrated."

--Floyd Mayweather via HBO's Face Off with Max Kellerman.

 

Satisfied ?

 

I really wonder how you could be a follower of the sport today and not remember Floyd saying this in the build up to the Cotto fight. Why the hell do you think people are laughing at the CW in this fight. Damn, people are thick.

 

Actually that has been buzzing around here for quite a while now.

A lot of guys are actually calling out the hypocrisy.

With regards to the media, well, there are quite a few who commented on that. I believe Ron Borges wrote something with regards to the catchweight.

 

"It's like I said be-foe"

 

Most of the media in or out of the internet are not knowleadgeable about boxing. They're not going to pickup on Mayweather's hypocrisy.


Mayweather said that about catchweights in order to build up a fighter most in the know knew was close to shot.

Now that he's signed to face a bonafide dangerous juniormiddleweight, the tune clearly changes.

Mayweather would'nt even be taking this fight at 152 lbs if not for Showtime having him by the balls in regards to the contract he signed with them.

Showtime was'nt as dumb as we all thought when a bunch of no hope names showed up on a list for Mayweather to fight.
Obviously based on Mayweather's poor PPV buyrate vs Guerrero, Showtime does have a say on who Mayweather has to fight next in order to build the Buyrate up!

The problem here is not that Mayweather cant beat Canelo. The problem is that the probablity to get there is that he's going to have to bring out his full repertoire of tricks to do so.

Mayweather dont like being taken to the brink!

 

Oh yea, "The CatchWeight King", Floyd Mayweighter said catchweight were meaningless and critized PAC heavily on it . His *****s were even worse when it cames to criticizing about PAC and his catchweight. It seems like now catchweight are ok and suddenly good for the sport to them .

 

Get over yourself you precious little ***.

 

only difference is the canelo camp is the one that offered the cw.....

 

*****s new tune atsch.
