    It makes no sense to me how you can say that. Floyd wasn't looking for JMM. Marquez issued a challange to Floyd. Floyd looked at the challange, looked at the schedule... Margarito suspended... Williams was to fight in April... Cotto fights in June... Pac/Hatton set to fight April... Mosley wants no business with Floyd and wants to wait for Pac/Hatton winner. DLH isnt worth it period.

    So wtf? Seriously. All there was to fight was JMM. The one who CALLED FLOYD OUT. If Floyd would have denied JMM's request then every bitch on the site would claim Floyd is ducking.

    Makes no damn sense at all. JMM wanted the fight so fuck, fight Floyd at 147. Floyd wanted DLH and DLH picked the weight, where the fight was, when the fight will be, and how much money he will get. Dont be a simple minded bitch, JMM should just accept what he can get.

    You cant be mad at Floyd for wanting a tune up at his weight. Be mad at the one who calls out fighters and wants no real business fighting them. JMM was cummin out his lips and now has to prove he isn't pussy.
    You are right on man. JMM is a Punk for calling out the retired All Time Great and when Floyd comes out of retirement to fight this Punk he is making demands. JMM should just stay in the darkness of Pacman as the man who came close against Pacman.

      Quintana and Collazo are available.
      Agreed...Collazo is a sneaky awkward fighter though, so that aint happening...

        Just like Arum is hiding Cotto from Williams.

          dumbass bumbaclot. everyone is giving reasons that are logical, your just saying the same ****** **** over and over. Speaking out of your ass with no logical explaination besides "Floyd is a ***** because he wont fight JMM at a lighter weight."

          Well there wasn't that much complaints when Oscar de La Hoya decided to drop weight to fight Manny. De La Hoya dropped way much weight. Maybe over 20lbs.

          All Mayweather has to do is lose 7 to 8 pounds. Too many excuses will happen Paul Williams is willing to fight at 147. Mayweather wants to stay at 147. Make that fight.
          Manny-DLH was an agreed matter. DLH agreed to fight that low. His mistake.

          Point is. JMM issued the challange. He needs to live up to it regardless of what Floyd wants. Floyd can demand them to wear pink Winnings gloves. JMM has to do it, he issued the challange. If he doesn't live up to it, he isnt a man.

            Like how Oscar made Forbes come from 140 to 150.

            And how many contract offers did Cotto and Arum give Team Mayweather and vice versa...ZERO.

            Floyds rematch ODH fight was schedule for Septemeber....Cotto was KO'd months prior.
            Excuses, excuses, excuses.

            I had no problems with Floyd retiring. None. But everythign he's doing contradicts the excuses he had before. What good is JMM going to be as a tune-up for the Welterweight division? How is fighting a Lightweight (being nice, he's really more of a 130 lb'er) going to get him ready for a Welterweight?

              And why in the hell was Floyd rematching grandpa DLH in the first place?
              1. JMM is a tune up for Floyd..what is your prediction of a JMM-Mayweather fight??

              2. Money

                Hes shaking off ring rust.

                You dont shake off ring rust aginst Luis Collazo or Quitana...or Berto.

                JMM called Floyd out and is now realizing he had no chance towin in the first place..hes a tune up.

                  Floyd should live up to his word about fighting "anyone from 135-147"

                    how ****** do you sound.

                    I want floyd to fight cotto...So i can own your sig for 1 month...Remember our bet.
                    If it could happen tomorrow I would be happy...
                    Actually NO LIE....this is the HONEST TO GOD truth.

                    I want Floyd and Cotto to fight before Cotto fights Clottey because I think Cotto is going to lose to clottey. and if thats happens..There is absolutly NO REASON to fight cotto anymore... NONE..Because that lost to clottey would prove cotto was overhyped.

                    But Back to the 140 thing.
                    You cant not say Floyd did not take more risk at 140 compare to 147 and 154...


                    The 140 division would be perfect for him. Because he would not be the smallest in the division like he is at WW...

                    and he would be fighting people his own size. Which is the whole point of weight classes

                      5 titles in 3 weight classes, all of his losses/draw in the last 10 years highly disputed, very good resume. Undisputed LW champ at almost 36. I'd say he's in.
