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

    THIS IS WHY.....147 lb. vs. 140 lb.

    according to houston boxing examiner 1ST."At 147 lbs., I would have to consider Mayweather (at least) a very strong 4-1 favorite over Marquez, who has never fought above the 135 lb. lightweight limit. Marquez may be a higher volume puncher than the lower quantity, but more effective, puncher Mayweather, however, the shots that do land on a bloated Marquez would probably have a much more significant effect.
    2ND.At 140 lbs., however, Mayweather vs. Marquez would indeed be a bona fide mega-fight. At this weight, we would have to consider Marquez as having a "solid chance" at defeating Mayweather, who would have to drain his body below an otherwise more normal weight of 147 - 154 lbs. Secondly, if the fight takes place in September, Floyd will have been away from boxing for close to two years. Floyd's ring rust would translate to an advantage for the presumably sharper Marquez."

      I don't listen to the criticism anymore, all i hope is that Floyd comes back, Knocks out Pacquiao and solidifies his spot as the best fighter of his era

      This fight is nothing more than a pre-cursor for Mayweather - Pacquiao
      Mayweather vs. Pacman wil put an end to the bullshyt.

      Then it would be time for Pac to put up or shut up...

        Yep. And i dont know if you remember, but werent a lot of floyd fans saying 140 was Floyd's best weight?

          this is a ****** argument, there isnt a single fighter from 147 down who would have been favored against floyd, not a single one.

            Pac, Marquez, and Cotto are 3 of my favorite fighters, and i will be the first to say that Cotto will be TOO BIG for Pac come fight night. That's not to say that Pac wont be able to overcome the size disadvantage, but i'm not interested in seeing that fight.

                Floyd could piss down your throat, and you'll say it was your fault for having your mouth open. Stop being such a ***ing man groupie.

                  When Hopkins caled out Adamek..the crusier weight Champ....

                  Did you expect Hopkins to ask for the fight to be at 175 pounds??

                  Didnt think so.

                  Stop crying over everything Floyd does.

                  Floyd is at 147...he hasnt fought at 140 in 5 years.

                  JMM wants the fight..fight him at 147..take your ass whoopin and payday..and see ya in the morning.

                    You act almost as a polar opposite to what you are typing, thus, you are just as extreme in your hate as he is in his defense. You are one in the same.

                    Floyd retires:YOU make threads

                    Floyd talks: YOU make threads

                    Floyd might owe taxes: YOU make threads

                    Floyd fans discuss Floyd: YOU comment

                    you are literally in any thread to which floyd is mentioned. I am in many as well, when you engage in the same bull**** on the opposite end of the spectrum you are just as guilty. You couldnt go a week without mentioning floyds name.


                    Do a search on your own name and your own posting habits, more than half of your threads and posts are about floyd. thats a ****ing shame considering how much you DONT like him.

                      and for the past two years do you really think floyd has been just sitting on has ass doing nothing? PBF retirment is just a gimmick to make more money like PBF said if it make money it makes sense, making smart decison that is going to move me up a notch"
