"The One" and why its a no win situation for floyd

[p4pking]

The catch-weight is there cuz of Floyd Mayweather. He's the one who wanted a catch-weight. Cotto is fine at 154. But not Alvarez? Come on now

Alvarez never had a problem with it though, this fight was made quickly and easily. Floyd clearly has no reason to fight above 147, both of his fights at 154 he's weighed in comfortably under that and looked slower than he ever has, what the hell is the point from his perspective.

Explain why he can fight Cotto at 154 but not Alvarez?

Maybe because he felt it didn't matter what weight he fought Cotto at, but then reconsidered after it was a much tougher fight than he expected. I'm not wearing rose glasses here or anything, just don't see any reason Floyd should give up advantages he doesn't have to.

In other words it was too tough right?

Why in other words? That's more or less what I said. Floyd is not a 154 pounder, he has no reason to fight in that division and since Alvarez feels he'd be comfortable dropping a couple of pounds that is what's happening.

And you think Mayweather is displaying championship behavior by forcing the 2 extra pounds? I find it funny how people just ignore Mayweather always contradicting himself just to avoid criticizing him. Mayweather has already said Cotto is better than Alvarez and is expecting an easier time. If that's the case than fight him at 154. It's that simple

Sure? I don't even know what that means, Floyd is hardly the first guy to do this and I really don't care what he says about anything. Why is all the onus on him over 2 freaking pounds? If Alvarez didn't like it, don't take the fight. No reason it only works one way.
