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

    LMAO at how some of you are making Floyd out to be the innocent one here. I hear "oh well JMM called him out".

    How about when Marg called him out?

    All of a sudden, Floyd is keen on fighting ANYONE who calls him out? Cmon!

    U a ww, then fight a damn WW. Floyd could've easily turned the fight down, but no. Why? He see's opportunity in beating a top pfp fighter at an unfair weight.

      Why should Floyd make special differences for JMM

      When Floyd fought Oscar, he went to his weight and let Oscar pick everything, he shut up WHY, Because it was a career high payday

      JMM should do the same, or is that extra 5 lb weight advantage going to allow Floyd to dominate JMM

      Floyd fought Oscar outweighed by 15 - 20 lbs and got no credit

      Why shouln't JMM do the same by being outweighed by 5 - 10 lbs

        The hell with this whining you pbf detractors keeping posting. this man worked his ass off to get this position of leverage so he, not u or me get to decide who and under what terms he fights. sad thing about it, all the guys he "should" be fighting have done nothing to garner the opportunity to fight him! Yes, opportunity! Thats why they keep mentioning his name & why this forum along with many others light the *** up when his name is mentioned!

        you all should be xcited he is even coming back! instead yall water the board down with the same stale attacks. your frustration should be aimed at the other fighters who fail to establish their percieved greatness in order to get the opportunity to fight the worlds best!
        was odlh favored to win?

        a lot of people rooted for oscar but that doesn't mean they thought oscar would win.

        i bought the ppv to see if oscar could beat floyd. i didn't think oscar would though.

              let that marg thing go already.......

              fact is, floyd and arum were at odds, AND IT's A FACT- floyd made more money fighting baldomir, than he would've made fighting margarito.

              let it go, bruh.

                Many thought Oscar would beat Pac

                Many though Lacy would beat Oscar

                Floyd's victory over Oscar was greater than both of these

                People thought Pacquiao was facing the giant in Oscar, in fact it was Floyd who was outweighed by Oscar while Manny outweighed Oscar

                Floyd would be favoured over Cotto or Mosley does that mean it wasn't a risk

                  that's fine with me. anyone in the top 10 at 147 will do for a tuneup.

                    WTF does that have to do with risk!? Which ww will be favored to win when matched up against pbf?!

                    See! Makes no damn sense!

                    If he fights jmm, this will eliminate an obstacle to the mega bout with pacq!

                      Exactly

                      JMM is such a good fighter that it doesn't matter about the 5lb weight advantage
