I think Floyd might move down to 140...

This may happen, but I reckon Hatton would beat Mayweather to a Pacqiuoa fight!

um no opinion, boring thread.

Its a weird situation as you guys say he will loose credibility but 140 is his natural weight going on what he steps in the ring at to fight welters 149-151 , this is the weights Jnr welters step in the ring at so he is really fighting much bigger guys up at Welterweight ,, he would totally dominate the jnr welter class just like he dominated Hatton he would stop them all at 140 as his power to weight ratio goes up , I would love Floyd to fight Cotto but Ive always said Floyd is a jnr welterweight and you guys dont give him any credit at all for fighting bigger guys its like you like to see him handicapped , I dont know whats going on with Floyd and will sit back and see what happens but he dont lose credibility for me as what he has achieved so far doesnt alter and I believe he should have stayed at jnr Welter in the first place , he really only went up for Oscar , will be interesting what unfolds . Rod you and I both know we are very loyal but sensible Floyd fans. If he moves down without facing Cotto his loses credability, period.

After Oscar, then fight the winner between Cotto/Margo, move back down to 140 to face Hatton/Pacquiao, would be cool. That would be my ideal scenario. Floyd faces Oscar in September, then Cotto early January or febuary. Hatton around June July then he can end his career against the number 2 p4p in Pac in September or December.

I think after the Oscar fight he might move down and fight Hatton at 140. He probably will stay their in hope of luring other 135 guys (ie Manny) Opinions? Floyd was never a true welterweight anyway.

If he moved down to 140 he would DEFINITELY be aiming for a Pac bout. Now if he fought Pac what the hell would be his reasoning for not fighting Cotto. By then I wll be one of the biggest Floyd detractors on the site. Bank on that.

I think after the Oscar fight he might move down and fight Hatton at 140. He probably will stay their in hope of luring other 135 guys (ie Manny) Opinions? I don't have any objection. He would clean out that division in quick time and impressive fashion.

Someone above suggested that a fight with Pacman is a bigger money fight then with Cotto...that is simply not correct-also Bob Arum owns both Pac and Cotto...do you really think he is going to let Floyd fight Pac instead of Cotto? Most important is that Floyd should have taken care of Cotto two years ago at 140 pounds...Cotto was not comfortable with the weight and Floyd was just hands down a better boxer. Now Cotto is very comfrotable at his weight and has kept improving...with wins over Malinaggi, Judah and Mosley he has clearly shown he is ready for the next step...Floyd should have taken Cotto when he had all the advantages...now I dont see Floyd having an edge against the sports premier boxer/banger. You can bet ellerbe and the crew has quietly kicked themselves for not taking him out when it would have been more convenient.

After Oscar, then fight the winner between Cotto/Margo, move back down to 140 to face Hatton/Pacquiao, would be cool.

if he beats oscar then hatton...next big money fight would be pacquiao...so i wouldn't doubt it...

Did you lose respect for Shane for moving back to his true weight class? don't be a godam apoligist domi.no seas pendejo.i haven't got a problem with it,but don't try to pretend like it isn't the obvious.

Thats a NO buddy, its like saying Cotto goes to 140 and dodges Margarito....get the drift, Mayweather WILL lose credibilty if he goes down plain and simple, enough said Other than a fight with Cotto, the only other Mayweather fight that would really interest me would be one against Pac at 140.

I dont understand how he would lose all credibility. If he can easily make a lower weight he SHOULD be fighting at that lower weight. Mayweather should be at 140 anyways... it's about time he goes back down. That's like saying Cotto loses credibility if he doesnt jump up to MW to fight Pavlik...

he will lose all cred.all cred.this is all wrong for him.unless he's waiting to turn 32 to fight cotto or margo lose then use that as an excuse.
