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

LOL...Amazing!
    he was campaigning at 147. lol

    floyd can't even jump 1 weight division without taking on tuneups yet he wants marquez to jump 2 weight divisions?

      JMM wants to move up to 140 anyway to fight the winner of Hatton-Pac. Otherwise he doesn't really have many options because there is no huge names at 135.

      Marquez has already showed how much of a fool he is turing down a Pac rematch to fight John for 30 G's. nI hope he don't makle the same mistake again.

          if he loses to floyd he might miss out on a hatton or pacquiao match.

          imho a hatton fight or pacquiao fight is MORE money than floyd.

            I wouldn't call JMM a tune up. If this is a tune up than Floyds greater then we are giving him credit for.

              a collazo fight wouldn't be worth nearly as much as a JMM fight.....doesn't get more simple than that.

              not only is floyd looking for an easy fight for a "comeback," he also wants a big money fight too.....

                Manny will win and he hasn't shown any interest in a JMM 3rd fight. That fight should have happened already.

                  Do u honestly see NOTHING wrong with Floyd demanding that Marquez move up to 147 to fight him? Lets be sensible now. Floyd wants to fight at no lower than 147, yet he doesnt wanna fight anybody WW's. How can this even be defended?????

                    manny will fight jmm.

                    arum didn't want an immediate rematch at the time. arum got turned off with immediate rematches after pavlik-taylor 2 bombed.

                    arum wanted it to simmer a bit , let fans wait for the 3rd. a year or so is good enough especially after how good jmm has been.
