    Just ****** people who don't understand, there is hardly any size difference in size between Pac, Mayweather and JMM
    so what weight class is floyd in? here's the problem you said hes a WW but he can only fight former SF. why cant he fight someone on WW

      Why do you care that much? Why - as a fan - don't you just want to see the best guys of similar size fighting each other?
      so u want marquez to be bloated at 147? why do u care if the fight happens at 140 when u claim floyd can make the weight.

        Because he's afraid to take risks.

            Floyd moved up for Castillo. moved up for Gatti. moved up for Judah, and then moved up for Delahoya. The novices are acting like PBF hasn't gone through the weights just like Pac, JMM, etc.

            I dunno. It doesn't seem to me to be an issue when he asks somebody to come up now that he is the man.

            Is 140 or a catchweight reasonable? Sure. But why give up anything in negotiation if you don't have to? Manny wanted a million dollars for every pound Oscar was over 147.

            this is a business, after all.

              I agree, if he's going to force SFW to move up to 147 but wont actually fight anyone that is a threat at 147, then he should just stay retired.

                Flip,

                Then why are all these guys calling his name?

                It's easy for YOU to say that because Floyd doesn't make you any money. But, clearly, these guys $ee dollar $igns next to his name.

                Name a bigger fight than Pac-PBF. Name a bigger fight for JMM than PBF.

                  JMM vs Pac or Hatton is just as big a fight.

                  Pac vs JMM or Cotto is just as big a fight.

                      JMM brings in more money then Berto (Who isn't facing anybody) and you seriously think Mayweather will fight Collazo, Quintana...who better then to face the JMM who is ranked 2nd on the P4P list?
