If Floyd wants to fight at 147, why not just fight a WW?

    LOL... Plain and simple! Dont campaign at WW, then complain u dont belong there when another credible WW calls u out. Well not really Floyd, but its his fanboys who are constantly complaining that he's not a natural WW.

      They both wanted to fight smaller opponents.

      Really Marquez should take this fight. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. If he turns this down he can look forward to fighting Valero for much less money and much more to lose.

          Now i'm all for a Floyd/Marquez showdown, but i feel 147 is a bit of a stretch for Marquez.

            correction. he wants a 126 fighter fighting at 135 to come up to 147.

              cause guys who move down in weight always get beat up badly

              If he's just coming back for one fight than its not a tune-up.
              yeah... cotto and mosley aren't tune-ups... both are gonna be tough fights. jmm is the only one that is a tune up.

              nah... floyd beating pac and jmm are legit... hopefully floyd will come around and fight mosley/cotto winner as well.

                  I agree Deveel.

                  This is ****ing ridiculous.

                  If he is not a WW like his huggers say, then dont fight at WW. I mean, realy ****ing balls he is showing wanting a 36 years old LW, to move up to WW to fight him. **** that, move down to 140, your not a true WW by your hugges standars.

                  And if he is thinking about future bouts at 147, well then Pick a ****ing WW for the tune up, Collazo,Quintana, Molsey(I know he is no tune up),ect,ect,ect.

                  I agree with Mangler, Mr boat buyer will try to fight JMM and Pac at 147 and retire again, Mo FO aint fighting a WW fir ****!!!

                  Sad part ois that JMM can fight Valero, Bradley or Campbell, Make very good money and tell Mr Boat Buyer to **** off.

                  Floyd cant be demanding too much ****. Now everybody is fighting everybody, so they dont need Floyd to comeback. So he better be carefull!!!!!!

                      I dont even care for Winky, but i give him a ton of respect for taking on Paul Williams. Off for 2yrs and takes on one of the hottest/most dangerous fighters in his division with no tune-up. Much props to Winky. He gave it his all in that fight, just couldnt get the job done. Nothing wrong with that. I respect a fighter who steps up to the plate and fall short, more so than a fighter who dares to not step up to the plate at all!
