    144 is a catchweight but its a catch weight in the WW limit.

    I still think its **** to have a title on the line at 144 but its a WW fight.

    You could fight at 141 and win a WW title.

    You get annoyed by the truth? Are you denying that PAC would not face fighters at a comfortable weight. Floyd doesn't need catch weights. He wants them at their best. Everyone knows Cotto had to kill himself to make 145. He was having enough trouble making 147. Even though you are a hater, at least you have enough brain cells to understand Floyd wins, but Cotto isn't to be underestimated.

    And yet there was NOTHING to document that, or back it up. And that INCLUDES how Cotto fought that night. :patsch Nor was there anything to suggest he was having trouble making 147. He moved to 154 because of two brutal defeats, and the chance at another title at 154 w/ a beatable opponent in Foreman.

    Didn't matter. Floyd was the better fighter the night he fought Marquez and beat him on skill, not size. Do think it's hypocritical for him to criticize catchweights but be ok with a fight at 150 with Martinez but TBF that was Martinez' idea.

    Just glad he's making a step up from Ortiz. Cotto is good and at a bigger weight. Floyd would be the first to beat him at 154 where Cotto is going back to boxing like he was doing early in his career. Don't think he fights Martinez until like next year but that's the fight I want to see the most.
