Is Floyd Mayweather taking a risk fighting Pacquiao?

[Sin City]

Hell No!
Taking risk is him moving up weights to fight Kelly Pavlik or Arthur abraham.

not even.. I wouldn't expect Mayweather to go that far.
He is no Manny Pacquiao he doesn't have the balls.
But simply fighting the best in his division would do it.

Sin, stop being so selective. Pac was at 126 at the age of 25 and Floyd was at 130 just a month or 2 before he turned 25. These guys are not that far apart. Floyd fights at WW and 154 weighing in at 148 while Pac was weighing 147 fighting at 130. This guy is not smaller then Floyd. Then you talk about Oscar's weight in the Pac fight but look at what happened. You cant use that as an example if Oscar looked like crap. He obviously didnt belong at that weight at all.

Ive always said that Floyd was P4P the smallest guy in boxing by far and Pac is P4P one of the biggest. Every single weight Floyd has went to since he left 130, he has been the lightest guy in the division. He is always being outweighed by a ton in the ring. On the other side Pac moves up in weight but is always the biggest guy in the division. He made MAB & EM look like little boys next to him. Stop trying to act like Floyd is way bigger because he's not. Floyd is probably naturaly right now between a LW and a JR. WW. He's a natural 137.5 pound fighter right now while Pac is a natural LW. Its a very even fight.

I also think its so funny how you try to use things to make your argument. Margarito and Cotto arent too big for Floyd but Williams is? Like Williams is so much bigger then Margarito. You say that just so you can have an excuse for Margarito not to fight him but to fight Floyd. So what if Margarito has been at WW his whole career. He's still huge. Williams couldve also stayed at WW his whole career. Then would it be ok for Floyd and Margarito to fight him? Stop penalyzing guys because there good enough to move up. Margarito can easily go to 154 and higher but he's just not a good enough fighter while Williams is

So leave it at him having a **** resume at WW...WHO T F! carez...Manny vs Mayweather is whats hot...Might be as good as Whitaker vs JCC

QTFT, so what he is not all that at welter, Manny and Floyd are not that far apart in size. Who even says that he is really a great welter anyways, it really has not been proven that he is not but you are correct that he really did not prove everything he could have at welter.

6'4 paul williams......now thats a fair fight

Williams isn't 6'4", he's 6'1" my man. And last I checked, divisions went by weight, not height.

Sin cares more about Floyd's legacy at WW then the fans do. Knowing that Floyd's ATG status came at 130-135...This is the greatest fight that could possibly be made right now


AND YOU **** ON IT


sad

I'm just calling you guys out on your hypocrisy.
Y'all said he wasn't afraid of Cotto or Margarito, y'all said he could KO or stop both of them.
That he was the best welterweight and what did he do? Fought a Jr. Welter then retired only to come back for a super featherweight.
What happened to all this talk about KOing Cotto and Stopping Margarito?

I said he'd beat Cotto and Margarito...I never said he was the best WW. His resume at WW isn't as good as Cotto's or Margarito. So I understand that

But Floyd's greatness came at 130-135...

This is a fight that needz to happen

That is a HUGE problem on these boards

If we say Floyd would beat Cotto/ Margarito it don't mean he is the best WW

He said it himself too.. and ran from both of them.

[nujabes77]

fighting the best boxer right now, of couse it is. the biggets one at that

[El Dominicano]

He said it himself too.. and ran from both of them.

And? Ali was GOD...Big deal. Floyd has always been a confident fighter that isn't new.
