Mayweather may defend both 147/154 in one fight

[IamInuit]

Doesn't make sense to me. If he weighs in at 147 or below he's fighting at Welter. If it's 147.1 or above it's a Jr Middle fight. It can't be both except for the purposes of some fraudulent accomplishment. I appreciate the tip of the cap to history but the only way it has any legitimacy is if he makes welter and fights a Jr Middle with the Jr. Middle having a shot at the Jr.Middle title and the Welter belt becoming vacant if Floyd loses.

I apologize if the link says that I only had a free minute so I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

When you consider what Leonard was able to do with the Lalonde fiasco anything is possible. Think about it, all he has to do is make 147 which he can do and whether he's fighting at 147 or 154 he's the same weight on fight night give or take a pound.The catch is the catch because he would need to convince a legit 154 belt contender to starve himself just like Leonard did to Lalonde.

The trouble is he's not really accomplishing anything since he already has both trinkets. What he should be doing is trying to get someone holding a 160 trinket down to 154 to challenge him for the 54 while putting up the 60 at the same time.

He coulld fight Cotto at 147 and where both titles be at risk. 154 is the limit not the minumum.

Meh, day-before-weigh-ins make it all meaningless anyway...
