Mayweather is indeed somewhat of a small welterweight compared to many of the monsters that fight at the weight in the present day, but he's not minuscule either. Hatton himself said that Mayweather was physically much stronger at the weight than he expected. Fighting above welterweight is indeed unreasonable, but given his skill level Mayweather has adapted his body admirably to fighting at the weight. It may well not be his ideal weight, but many fighters throughout history have done likewise. Mayweather could have ended his career at 140, but chose to largely bypass the division to seek the super fight with De La Hoya he had been after since his earliest days as a champion in the sport.

Horus, I think you might be better appreciated if you would debate about something that didnt involve Floyd Mayweather Jr.
That said, I agree with you to an extent on this subject. I would be perfectly happy seeing Floyd fight the likes of Pacquiao and Marquez if he could make 140.

You would think Floyd was a career welterweight…When he was a weltherweight he was the smallest one in the division…Can somebody name 1 welterweight Floyd was bigger than when he was in the division..???
So When people say Floyd needs to beat a real WW and stop fighting on smaller guys?
They say that like Floyd 1st or 2nd division was WW and he has been fighting Small guys his whole Career....
Context
The WW Division
Cotto's: 2nd Division
Margarito's: 2nd Division
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division
Andre Berto: 2nd Division (1st:160)
Joshua Clottey:1st Division
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division
Paul Williams:2nd Division (1st:160)
CarlosQuintana:1st Division
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division
If you say Mayweather has grown into the Welther weight division even though that is his 4th Division
PLease Answer this Direct Question:
1.If Mayweather Has grown into a Natural WW, What Have the Other Fighters who have been in the WW division Grown into if that is their 1st or 2nd Division..?
or do you think that Mayweather is the only fighter who Grows in the Division?
(w.a.w)= Walk around Weight
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division (w.a.w) = 150
Cotto's: 2nd Division (w.a.w) = 170
Margarito's: 2nd Division (w.a.w) = 174
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division (w.a.w) = 165
Andre Berto: 2nd Division (w.a.w)= 164
Joshua Clottey:2nd Division (w.a.w)= 170
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division (w.a.w)= 160-162
Paul Williams:2nd Division(w.a.w)= 165
Carlos Quintana:1st Division(w.a.w)= 163
Goggle: Fighter Name Walk around Weight
Floyd Mayweather seem like the only unnatural ww in the division to me...when he was their... and the smallest...
So what is this obession with him fighting guys in a division which is his 4th and it is their first of 2nd.. If he never cared for the division, and that is not his natural weight?
90% of Mayweather career has been at 135 and under...90% !!!!
what does that meaned to you guys????
Floyd vs. Pacquaio are closer in Size then 98% of the welterweight division
Floyd vs. Hatton are closer in Size 98% of the welterweight division
Floyd vs. JMM are closer in Size 98% of the welterweight division
So you can say that you think that Floyd is too skilled for fighters his own size..but please dont say he should fight real ww's, when he himself is not a real welterweight...!! 90% career proves that!!
way you type
is
really
fucking
irritating
!!!
!

The difference between Floyd and all those other guys is Floyd keeps his weight down in between fights. Which means he doesn't blow up after the official weigh in, it's the same with Hopkins. He's at 175 or very close outside of the ring. Richardson said even when Hopkins took a year off he was only 5lbs above 175 anyway.
Pacquiao, Marquez, Hatton all like to blow up and then cut down again. When you look at the actual number Floyd is bigger than all of them in terms of height. Floyd is disciplined outside of the ring, most other fighters ARE NOT! soo when you say his w.a.w is 150 in truth, if he were to follow the same lifestyle as the other fighters he would proberbly be at 160 or above. If you asked Floyd to get down to 135 because he stays fit he would be burning off muscle to make the weight instead of fat. Whereas Marquez, Pacquiao and Hatton are all burning off fat to make 135,135 and 140. Marquez could proberbly make 130 still same with Pacquiao abeit with alot of struggle.
