    PBF will have his hands full with DLH. Though I do think he gains weight the right way. He seems to always come in to the ring pretty close to his weigh in weight, which to me speaks volumes. I don't think he will have the speed at 154 to handle DLH effectively. I also think he should have taken a warm up fight before DLH just to settle in a bit.

      I don't know how he moves at the weight, so I don't know. I think is best weight is 140 but 147 is a good weight for him. He still is fast at 147.

        PBF is too full of himself. he hasnt even taken a warm up fight at 154 and he is going after DLH. i have no bias towards PBF but can u say ******! and last i heard wasnt he gonna retire after the DLH fight? or has he changed his mind?

          PBF is my fav. fighter without a doubt, but I don't see him dominating at 154. He is always going to be the favorite to win fights from 154 down and always has a great chance to win, but he won't dominate. As he moves up, the advantages that he had on opponents go away and he's just trying to beat them with better boxing skills and knowledge. His physical advantages aren't as big now.

            Are you kidding me? At 140, Mayweather took a tune up against Bruseles and got hated on for it. At 147, he took on Mitchell as a tune up and got hated on for it. Now at 154 he doesn't take a tune up for the biggest fight of his career and you want to say it's ego? You can't please the haters no matter what. I'm sure most of you haters are not going to give credit to PBF when he wins convincingly against DLH...

              I like your sig dude, that google search is hilarous.

              I have to say PBF moving all this way up in weight is impressive, considering he does not really have the frame to support moving up to such high weights.

              He certainly can't knock DLH out, which is apparent that he has lost punching power as he has moved up. Which means he will have to outbox DLH, but the only time I've ever seen DLH get outboxed was against Shane and that was at a much lighter weight and Shane had the power to back him off with stiff shots and affect DLHs rythm. (Well, Whitaker too I guess...maybe that was because of style?)

              If PBF can't keep DLH off him he will have a long night. And frankly, I don't think PBF has the power to deter DLH at all...and if he starts to try to do that he is likely to hurt his hand and he won't beat DLH one handed like he did Baldy.

              "Wins convincingly" I don't know about that, I think it will be the hardest fight of his career.

                how about dominating 147 in the meantime, or 140 for the matter?

                  At 147, he beat the last two undisputed champions. What's the point of fighting contenders still when there's a big fight one division up and he's already beaten the recognized champions? At 140, tell Hatton to step up and stop taking "tune ups" like Urango and Maussa...

                    I promise you he will get manhandled , since he has no punching power what so ever , with those guys walking around about 175 -180 and shrinking down, thats compacted power & more speed for a lot of them , Floyd has neither @ this point, he will be slower , & have no power what so ever , They basically will walk through his punches with no respect for anything he gets off, & dont mention the hands how brittle & hollow they are
