Then why add it as an extra stumbling block. Manny has already said he'll never fight above 147 again. SO why is floyd moving up a weight class when he doesn't have to. I'm boring mysef with this. Who cares the fight will never happen.
He wont have to get back down to 147. Hes already there. Hes not putting on weight to fight Cotto. Id be shocked if he weighs any more than 152 or something fightnight against Cotto. Similiar to when he fough De La Hoya.
Which is why I said I don't think the bout will ever happen. I don't believe Mayweather is adding an extra stumbling block by moving up. What bouts were there at 147lbs for him? (excluding all the Pacquiao "negotiations"). Cotto was the best bout after Pacquiao. Cotto did not want to move back down to 147lbs. Was Pacquiao throwing an extra stumbling block in the way when he fought in the Light Middle division? No.
