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.
