You cannot pick on Floyd anymore than Pac and vice versa, when it comes to the weight issue. Roach has been very shrewd the last two fights in particular to have opposing fighters come in lighter than usual. Both Oscar and Cotto have stamina issues...so bringing them down to 147 and 145 respectively, didn't help their chances (in Oscar's case it clearly just plain ruined him). The whole catch weight issue is ridiculous to me. If you are going to challenge someone for their belt...fight them at the appropriate weight. Anyways...this fight should take place at 147. Neither fighter will have difficulty with that. But boxing is a business...so the negotiations will be a charade. All part of the act to generate buzz.
