Floyd Mayweather bashed Manny Pacquiao for fighting at catchweights

This is a he said she said thing. People need to put things into perspective. Floyds a welter and I don't care how many times he has fought at 154. Alvarez weighed more against Trout then GGG did against Macklin. According to reports I've seen it was the Alvarez team that offered the 152 and Alvarez's team suggest that Floyd asked for 150. GBP on record seem to agree on Floyds take on the situation and since they promote both guys I tend to agree with them.

Floyd does not have a history of asking guys to come down unlike the other guy you mentioned.

what does it matter everyone knows canelo is going to weigh in at 154 anyway and just pay the penalty floyd knows it 2

The point is moot. The guy edges close to being a light-heavyweight at fight time.

I agree. The guys Floyd fought at 154 also fought at 147 and 140 before so they weren't naturally that much bigger, Canelo on the other hand, is a pure 154 pounder, and he has the ability to fight at 160 easily maybe even 168. Some of the fights there asking Floyd to take like Golovkin I think are crazy! We have to remember Floyd is really not a big guy, just imagine Pacqiou in there vs Canelo? that would be ridiculous. So I understand why he asked for a catchweight, giving the guy whose given the opportunity all the advantages is ridicoulous, remember what delahoya did when he gave Floyd the opportunity? he chose all the terms.
