    That's correct. A middleweight fight is a fight with a weight limit of 160lbs. A fight with a weight limit of 159 is a fight at a catchweight. Pretty simple stuff.

    Wonder if the people who hate on the Floyd/Alvarez or Pacquiao/Cotto catchweights will show up to bash Cotto and discredit the potential victory beforehand.

    Bull****. Martinez offered to come down to 150 for Pacquiao, not Mayweather.

    Martinez offered to come down to 154 or even 150 to fight Void, but Void ran like a scared rabbit!!!!!!!!!!

    Martinez will knock Cotto out at any weight if he has healed up.........

    159 is not a catch weight, because most Middle weights come in at that weight anyway.
