    Catch weights shouldn't even be on the radar of casual fans. Fighters can agree to face whoever they want at whatever weight can be agreed upon, the only alternative is that great fights wouldn't happen as often.

    Loads of fighters routinely struggle to make the maximum weight allowed for their division anyways, it's not as if catch weights introduce anything new.

    Mayweather forced the catchweight. This is a junior middleweight fight fought at a catchweight for Mayweather's benefit. He's doing the exact same thing he chastised Pacquiao for doing with Cotto. There is literally no difference. He is a hypocrite. If he can't fight Canelo at Canelo's own weight, that's his bad. The funny thing he is that he fought Cotto at 154 without a catchweight, but he wanted a catchweight for Canelo. What does that tell you?

    That he's got a lot of pull, and respects Canelo as a threat. He's looked slower at 154 in both of his fights there imo, Canelo didn't complain about dropping 2 pounds, whats the problem? This way Floyd can weigh in just above welter while Canelo might not be able to rehydrate quite as easily and dwarf him, it makes for the best fight between the two. That's what catchweights are for after all.

    Massive risk for floyd at any weight above 147. Leonard saying one thing and canelo team saying another.

    Both sides are guilty as they both signed to fight at 152.

    Floyds punches nearly knocked out a tired cotto but that was at the end of the fight so they do have some effect over time.

    Another question is if cotto is a better fighter than canelo or how the fight would go down if they fought each other..cotto might surprise us all.

    Canelo did complain about the weight, but even if he didn't, it would be due to the massive amount of money he is going to make, not because he would prefer to fight at 152.

    Mayweather wanted the catchweight AFTER he had said he didn't believe in catchweights on multiple occasions. @imp - even you, the most diehard Floyd fan on Saddo, have to acknowledge that Floyd is a hypocrite for the catchweight in this fight. Right?

    I wouldnt say im the most diehard fan but thanks anyway if theres any compliment in that!?

    Im like any other fan that has a general interest in boxing but certainly havent got as much knowledge as some of the other posters on here. (Not inc VD)

    In answer to your question...

    Yes, he is a f@cking hypocrite for saying that crap!
