    If Mayweather is so small, why not fight JMM at 135-140?

    PBF-stans keep saying that Floyd is so small and that he wont be bigger than JMM, thereby justifying the fight being made at 147.

    I'm sure that if JMM called the shots he wouldn't consider 147 natural for him either.

    Floyd-stans please answer why Mayweather will not fight at 135-140 when he, according to you, is the same size as JMM?

    hower u bat?

    maybe team mayweather thinks JMM will be less competitive @ 147, whereas PBF is more proven at that weight...

    its just PBF being in "ray leonard mode" in terms of negotiations... he, like ray is a genius in this regard...

      If he does fight JMM at 147, JMM does NOT HAVE to weigh in at 147.
      JMM can weigh in at 141 and Floyd at 147. Fight night JMM adds like 5 pounds while PBF adds 1 or 2 pounds. JMM will be around 146 fight night while PBF will be 148. It’s a close fight size wise

        because despite what they say he is not small anymore, he used to be but he's grown into his frame.

        he cant make 135 anymore and would have trouble making 140.

          My favorite pbf contradiction from some of his dumber fans....Remember when they were saying Hatton was actually bigger then Floyd or the same size...so tell me...if thats the case...and Hatton can blow up between fights and make his way back to 140 and still be a good fighter...but floyd who is always in top shape and is smaller or the same size....cant make 140 anymore.

            PBF-nuthuggers also insist that PBF is small enogh to challenge Calderon or Vilioria at a fair catch weight of 142lbs.

                Or he'll say some garbage like "JMM walks around heavier than Floyd, plus his chest is bigger."

                It is funny as hell when a ***** puts Floyd in their top 10 ATG list because "he's a LW that beat a HOF 154 lber" then "Floyd shouldn't fight Williams, Mosley or Cotto, because he's not a true WW" and "Floyd could still make 135" but "JMM called him out, so he should fight at WW or shut his mouth."

                    People are tripping if they think Floyd cannot make 140. Shredding 7 pounds is nothing. Compared to the weight Hatton, Cotto and Margarito lose.

                    Floyd wants the fight at 147 because he dedicated the terms since JMM called him out. Yet we have no heard anything from Floyd himself.
