    Why won't he fight JMM at 135 then?

    Floyd has been insisting the fight be at 147, like he did with Hatton...

    If he can't make 140 or 135, shouldn't he be fighting other welterweights?

      Yep. That's the point. If JMM wanted to fight a guy his size he surely wouldn't fight a 147-pounder.

        floyd has been around 147 for years now and marquez has not, the weight gain will be a disadvantage and floyd knows it, the P$P thing is just the selling point of the fight to the public, Floyd wants the fight because he has the physical advantages. Marquez will probably fight at 140 or 135 but floyd thinks he has the cards but.......he is retired because he ran away from the sport.

            Floyd will do everything in his power to avoid a world class weltereight in their prime so he can keep his undefeated record and run around talking about how he's the best ever

To single Mayweather out for this Marquez fight as though it's not something guys like Hopkins and Hagler did as well is just pure ignorance and bias.
              too much of his wins are to either old (de la hoya), or shot (gatti), or bums (baldomir).

              not many boxers are like that

                Floyd has ducked Cotto, Mosley, Tszyu, and now Berto, along with others who would have a chance of beating him.

                And there's no way Paul Williams will ever get the cowardly Mayweather into a ring with him.

                    when did he duck these three fighters
                    mosley and him both truned down fights with each other
                    tszyu was hurt and when he came back he had to fight shamba then he lost to hatton and how is he ducking berto
                    and i dont see shane or many other ww fighter line up to fight paul so are you calling them cowards.

                    EDIT: YOU ARE THE MAN PERSON ON THIS SITE TALKING ABOUT HOW PAUL HIS FIGHTING SMALLER GUYS AND HE SHOULD BE AT LHW BECAUSE HE HAS A LONGER REACH THEN WLAD.

                      Floyds ducking Berto? Floyd called out Cotto, Mosley and Tszyu. Like ive said many times, you cant blame Floyd for these fights not happening. It takes two too tango.

                      You posts are always so ****, dumb and biased.
