Is Floyd effectively saying i dont want to fight at 147, but i will make out im campaigning there so i can drag these little guys up there where i have a big advantage physically.
Dont you think it will be a bit strange if Floyd ends up fighting Marquez and then possibly Pacquiao who are both NOT natural WW. Yet he is supposed campaigning at 147. In his recent fights he will gone after Hatton,Pacquiao and Marquez whist maintaing he is fighting at WW..........WTF?
Surely Mayweather must and some point fight a Cotto-Williams etc to.
SRL was a HUGE WW. Floyd is very small compared to him
Two inches smaller? I suppose Pacquiao or Marquez aren't small enough to fight at welterweight.
Mayweather is nothing compared to Sugar Ray Leonard.
Exactly..Mayweather said if the price is right hel fight anyone and everyone.
Typical Mayweather all talk and no show. If a boxer will accept getting paid much less then him he'll give him the fight. So boxers say no. Another way to avoid fighting reall challlengers.
Floyd is simply saying that if you got the balls to call me out come up to my weight and fight me in my weight class. when money called de la hoya out did they fight at a catch weight? didnt think so.. he moved up to goldies weght class didnt he? i think thats what happend if i remember correctly.
floyd is not a natural ww either. he started his career below 140 and moved up just like pac and jmm
Floyd said it himself he was weigh-in 148 pounds for the fight. He didn't do his part. Even though he weigh-in at a smaller weight De La Hoya still got to him and lost onlly by a split decision.
Show me where Floyd ever offered Cotto a fight. All i've read, and anyone else who follows boxing has read is, "Cotto is too green"...."he needs to get his ppv's up"......"he needs to become his own ceo"......" I wont do business with Arum"..... etc......
He offered Mosley a fight that Mosley turned down, and vice versa. Mosley offered Floyd a fight last year, and Floyd's response was "I dont fight sparring partners"
He was going to fight Margarito? LOL....Yeah ok!
when floyd was still with cotto, floyd wanted to fight cotto at 140, but arum wouldn't make that fight. arum would never put hisi cash cow in with floyd
That is why Floyd offered both Cotto and Mosley a fight. And was going to fight Margarito

True he didnt call out hatton the first time around, but he did try to negiotiate a rematch in manchester with ricky, which ofcourse was weird being that he had already beat him........ricky was more focused on manny and fighting at 140lb's, but if for some reason he agreed, we'd be seeing this horrible rematch.
I dont think i need to answer it. Where they started their career's is self explanatory.
How old was Pac when he started that low and how did his career work out and why?
You do know they use the excuse or "reason" that Pac's two KO losses is said to be from his draining of weight and his age...
Roach said Pac was a boy back then...a Man now.
People mature at different speeds and for Pac, he matured slower/later.
He can't even make 135 and had to move up. A division in which he showed up at 147. The Man was 152 with 6% bodyfat while training for Oscar.
Tell me the advantage he has over Pac and Hatton as far as weight?
Tell me the advantage he has over Pac as far as weight?
Do i really need to answer this?:rofl:
Thats right, if they dont offer him a deal he will not go seek one out. He is well within his right to maintain he is a 147 and cherry pick smaller fighters from the lower weight classes dragging them upto 147 where he has an advantage.
Tell me the advantage he has over Pac and Hatton as far as weight if we base it on what Floyd was before he retired...and not now since none of us knows how he is right now.
Exactly..Mayweather said if the price is right hel fight anyone and everyone.
Roy Jones used to say the same. Both have questionable resume's. I believe guys of the same era Pac and Hopkins both have better resume's.
Thats right, if they dont offer him a deal he will not go seek one out. He is well within his right to maintain he is a 147 and cherry pick smaller fighters from the lower weight classes dragging them upto 147 where he has an advantage.
i bet you he'll make more than 8 MILLION for marquez......
shane mosley offered him 8 MILLION.......
dude was retired, and everybody was calling him out, so he sought out what they were offering.....he cherry-picks....you goddamn right.
he cherry-picks the best offers.
He only turned down Margarito...........
to fight for the WBC WW Championship
AND MORE MONEY!!!!
that's my point, dude fights whoever offers him the best deal......
if cotto, mosley, or whoever else wants him, tell them to come with some green-backs.....
read my last post.....i'm tired of this "he ducks 147 lbers." shit....
name a WW that offered him a legit deal, and he TURNED the shit down....

I dont have a problem with him fighting Marquez. I have a problem with him trying to drag them up there under the false pretense he wants to fight them at 147, because he is a 147 pounder. Yet he wont fight A 147 pounder so it kinda gives you the impression he just trying to seek an advantage over Pac or Marquez and give himself a better opportunity to win both fights. Not so long ago he was dragging Hatton up there.
Floyd is not a natural WW, but he is bigger than JMM and Pac. It will effect them more as they go up that it will Floyd, because allthough Floyd is not a natural WW he is bigger than both those guys.

Well that is not official so im not lying am i ? all im getting is that Marquez has said he is willing to fight at 143/144 and the fight is stalling.
i said give me names, and times fights were offered to floyd, and he decided to go in another direction.......that's a duck. what you're spewing is nothing.
Floyd to Margarito-'you'll get your shot"
Floyd on Cotto - "too green, tell him to get his PPVs up"
Floyd on Shane "I don't fight sparring partners"
shall I continue, or have you had enough of being made to look like an ass?
whichever way it goes, haters won't look at it as even.....they'll still say floyd is the bigger fighter, and has no business fighting marquez.
floyd would fight him at 140, but he feels he's the bigger star, so he shouldn't have to bend to marquez's demands.....that's the way i see it, but i know a few other ppl would look at it as floyd being "scared."
