    and just because when he was in his twenties he fought at a lighter weight, doesnt mean you cant grow into a heavier weight naturally...

    he is not a natural 135 lber anymore.

    Thank you Reed. Some people think that because u start out at a light weight, u must remain there. Oscar started out at 130. Does that mean he was fighting out of his weight class when he fought at 147 and 154?

      This is why Leonard is Great, he fought in the Fab 4, and he came out on top...

      Not only did Floyd not come out in this Fab 4... He refused to even compete.

      SO FAR, anyway...


      yes sir!!.... like one of the bs posters said...

      Floyd is the better fighter of the 2 but pac is just greater ... for me.. the complete package....

      If i could say which name does represent the best of what boxing can give to the general public..

      hands down..

      Manny Pacquiao! <-- thats my answer

              To ask why Mayweather doesn't fight until he's 37,38,39 is not reasonable. Please tell me the career SFW/LW's who were still effective at 35+.

              Again, help me understand: Pac walks into the ring at 147, and he's a natural LW. Mayweather walks into the ring at 147, and he's a natural WW. Please clarify.

              Note: are you SURE you want to reference Oscar's resume at MW? In my eyes, DLH was 0-2, with a KO.

              floyd isnt 35+.. he retired at 30-31 years old... dont preach to me how he was past it... Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a Prime fighter, and retired as a prime fighter... he didnt retire because he didnt have it anymore, he retired because he didnt want to lose, and there was a lot of REAL competition in his weight class...

              does this mean I think Floyd couldnt beat those fighters? NO.. I think Floyd beats them... but thats not the point.

              Your argument is what career sfw has fought effective at 35+...

              But your not describing Floyd Mayweather Jr.

              And I don't need your **** coaching, son.

                This is how i see it.

                Prime Marquez > Prime Judah

                Diaz = Baldomir

                Pac coming up to 147 to fight Oscar > Floyd coming up to 154 to fight Oscar

                Pac facing Hatton at 140 > Floyd facing Hatton at 147

                  and I would agree.

                    Hmm.... uh ....... Duran, maybe?

                    And why are you talking about 35, when Floyd is 31 and has been retired for a year?
