    Thats the point hes just working off ring rust thats all JMM is.
    If Floyd comes into the ring at 148 as a JMW, then why in the hell can't he fight at 140? Is it because he can't fight when weight drained, like everyone else? Hell even LW would only be a 13 pound rehydrate. Most fighters from LW up gain that much overnight.

    Like has been said, if Floyd wants a "tune up" at WW, then fight a damn WW. Don't try and enhance your legacy off an old, sliding fighter while still in your prime, when there are tons of prime guys waiting.

    If he had some real cajones, he'd fight Williams. Maybe take a tuneup against a tall, lanky WW first.

    The other thing is, who in the hell would JMM be a tune up for? Pacquiao? They fight absolutely nothing alike.

      If JMM doesn't want to look up at MAB and EM, beat Floyd and he'll be lookin down on them

        That is why this bull**** argument from the *****s about Floyd not being a true welterweight is ******.
        Well if Floyd cant make 140 no more in your opinion without being drain...
        why are these guys asking him to drain himself to fight JMM when JMM called him out???

          That's why I've been saying Floyd should fight JMM at a catch weight of 143.

              Floyd aint Oscar, not near the star Oscar is/was. And Forbes was not the best LW and the number 2 best fighter in the world!!!!!!!!!

                JMM is the MAN at LW. Ring champ, WBO, WBA. #2 p4p. Why would he risk all that to be a tuneup for a bigger fighter at two weight classes above where he's ever fought?

                JMM ain't Forbes, or Lazcano.

                  If Floyd cant make 140..what makes you think he can make 143???

                  JMM called out Floyd...not the other way around...

                  When Floyd called out Oscar. Oscar was @ 154 and floyd went to 154 and fought him

                  When Hatton called out Floyd. Floyd was @ 147 and so Hatton went to 147 and fought him.

                  When Paul Williams called out Hopkins and Calzaghe on saturday. where do you think the fight is going to happen???
                  NOT 160

                  If JMM didnt want to fight floyd ... he shouldnt have never called him out

                    Comparing JMM to Forbes is just ******.

                    JMM is P4P #2, he has the option to wait and fight the Hatton/Pacquiao winner.

                    Forbes had no options.

                      Its just atestament to how good Floyd is...the p4p number 1 and 2 IMO would be borderline sparring partners..e ****s Pac and JMM with ease.
