2012年2月，梅威瑟：“我永远不会让一位拳手在他不舒服的状态之中。我要一名对手当他是最佳状态的时候，如果他在154磅最好，并且他强壮和结实，那么我们举办这场比赛。我体重在150磅左右，但是这天（战斗）结束，买单…他们在舒服的体重，因此，就不存在任何借口。”
"I would never want to put a fighter in a position where he's not comfortable. I want a guy when he's at his best. If he's at his best at 154 and he's strong and he's solid, then that's the fight we're fighting at. I walk around at 150, but at the end of the day - skills pay the bills.... Give me the guys where they are comfortable at their weight so there are no excuses." --Floyd Mayweather, February of 2012.
面对阿瓦雷兹154磅减2磅的指责，梅威瑟进行辩解说：这是阿瓦雷兹团队要这个协议条款。
“如果我没有记错,”梅威瑟邮件中告诉本•汤普森,“他们（阿瓦雷兹团队）记录和表示他们想在一个非正规体重级别比赛，所以我们想出了152磅，双方都说我们很适应。你将听到人们批评我说,‘你在做和帕奎奥同样的事情，和每个人比赛都在非正规体重级别。’不，我不是，因为帕奎奥是提出条件给对手，再说一遍，是这些人提条件给我。他们说,‘哦，我们将和梅威瑟战斗在一个非正规体重级别。你们能说的，你们得这么说，梅威瑟没有给你们提条件，而是你们带这个条件给我。”
"If I'm not mistaken," Mayweather told Ben Thompson of spam, "They came on record and said they wanted to meet at a catchweight, so we came up with 152 and both parties said we're comfortable with that. You're going to hear people criticize me and say, 'You're doing the same thing Pacquiao is doing, fighting everybody at a catchweight.' No I'm not because Pacquiao presents that to his opponents. Once again, these people brought this to me. They said, 'Well, we'll fight Mayweather at a catchweight.' That's all you had to say. You said that. I didn't bring that to you guys; you guys brought that to me."
阿瓦雷兹教练,“Chepo“雷诺索，有一个稍微不同的版本的故事。
“那两磅,我们作出牺牲是为了获得梅威瑟的战斗”, 雷诺索告诉Boxingscene。“他想要150磅，我们要求152磅，我觉得最后我们做的很好…如果我们没有放弃这两个英磅，他不会打比赛。此外,梅威瑟想打147，然后150。幸运的是,理查德•奇科夫是一个伟大的谈判代表。大家都各自出力实现比赛。”
Alvarez trainer, "Chepo" Reynoso, has a slightly different version of the story.
"Those two pounds that we're sacrificing was a condition to get the Mayweather fight," Reynoso told Boxingscene. "He wanted 150 pounds and we requested 152, and I think in the end we did well...If we did not give up those two pounds, he wouldn't fight. Besides, Mayweather wanted to fight at 147, then 150. Fortunately, Richard Schaefer is a great negotiator. Everyone did their part to get this achieved."
大家应该记得梅威瑟的精彩言辞。
“我把库托看作为一个不败的拳手，因为他对决帕奎奥，但帕奎奥压了他重量。他不是最好的库托。他已经精疲力尽了，他脱水严重。”——弗洛伊德•梅威瑟告诉HBO的马克斯•凯勒曼。
"I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao caught him at a catch weight. He wasn't the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn't hydrated."--Floyd Mayweather via HBO's Face Off with Max Kellerman.
因此，在9月14日，即使梅威瑟已经双手高举庆祝胜利，Canelo阿瓦雷兹仍然保持不败！ |
