    Floyd should just pull a Pacquiao, fight him at a 154 and a quarter pound catchweight and become middleweight champion.

    160 would make it better for Floyd if he won, but both would get an equal chance at a credited win at 154.

    154 is good for a guy who "isn't a big middle weight." As Martinez' camp now says when thoughts of facing Ward come up. Even though they were having a hard time making 154 so they fought Paul Williams at a catch weight.

    You got this mixed up. It was PWill that requested the CW for the rematch, no CW for the first fight.

    He would go down to 154 for BIG $$$ as he gets older, he needs that BIG pay before retiring.
