If PBF challenges Maravilla at 155 for WBC MW belt. . .

yes, but I think he should host the fight at 157 if he wants the MW title

I'm not a fan of catchweights for belts, but if you're going to do it, the catch shouldn't be closer to the starting limit of the weight class, which is 154 in this case

 

Not a fan of catchweights either and I hope it's not a catch weight... if anything, the higher the weight, more credit to Mayweather.

I don't and wont agree with the catchweight but it won't shock me that *******s will hate on it, despite Pacquaios best win since he moved past 130 is Cotto at a catch weight.

 

it WOULD BE a 6th weight class defeating the lineal champ ,

Pac already did that he laid out the ring champ hatton in his 6th weight (note 6th weight to win a title, ,he hoped about 10 altogether)

nearly killed the guy

 

No

And unless he beats Pacquiao he never will , Pacquiao was a Flyweight who is now walking down WW's & JrMW's on the way to dominant stoppages

Floyd is not , granted , Mayweather does put on clinical displays of boxing / timing / accuracy / defensive work etc etc etc but for me , what Pacquiao is achieving , is more impressive than what Floyd is achieving

 

Yes.

Right now Floyd's career is awefully sugarcoated... but fighting Sergio within the next 12 months (be Aussie Sergio is getting old) is key to Floyd's legacy.

 

A 157-158 catchweight would get full credit.

 

he only stopped one at welter weight and if u wanna be real cotto isnt that great and doesnt taje the best shot. no glass chin but hes no iron chin either.
not takin anything away from manny jus playin devils advocate.

 

Damn 8 World titles in 6 different weight classes and Lineal Champ in 4 divisions

 

Does it have to be for the 160 lb title why not the jr middle ?

 

Fight him at the limit. Forget a catchweight. I don't know. He could have a case. Probably not though. He would be number 1 P4P.

 

Pacquaio may have scaled all those weight classes while adding muscle, but he wouldn't have given up as much size as Floyd would be doing against Martinez at MW, plus Martinez is better than the bigger guys Pac has been facing, so yes by a distance

 

Think your right ..What did Oscar fight Hopkins at for his middleweight title ?
