Floyd wants to bring Canelo down to 147

What was Cotto's weight the night of his fight with Mayweather? I'm pretty sure that VD is right about Ortiz ballooning up to 165, or something for his fight with Mayweather. Also, what was Oscar's? It's clear that Floyd has faced men comparable in size to Canelo before. He's been at 154 before twice.

Also, let me be clear, Khan/Alexander are bad fights for Mayweather. It would almost be like taking a step back from Guerrero and Ortiz, which is difficult to do really.

Let's see the outcome of Bradley and Marquez. Bradley has as good of an argument as anyone for a Mayweather fight.

After thinking about it a bit more, I do recall Mayweather making the point that he was fighting Cotto at the weight Cotto was comfortable at, and that he wasn't making Cotto fight at an uncomfortable weight. The same principle should apply to Canelo. If Mayweather thinks he is too big, then he shouldn't face him, but coming down to 147 shouldn't happen either.
