Why does Floyd need advantages against a 36 yo that fought at SFW last year?

[Jim Jeffries]

Oscar was 34, had only one fight in the previous 2 1/2 years and was 9 years past his peak at #1 p4p. He knew he needed some advantages against Floyd to stand any kind of chance. So he got the ring, gloves etc that he wanted, because he was the draw and called the shots. The weight gave Floyd a chance to fight a shadow of his former self for a title in a 5th weight class, so it was good for both guys, but more of an advantage for Oscar in the ring.

My question is: Why does Floyd, who was #1 p4p last year, who claims to be the greatest boxer to ever lace up a pair of gloves (and has quite a few people believing it) need such a huge advantage in fighting a past it FW that will most certainly add to his resume? (no matter how many people call it a meaningless "tune up")

How does JMM fight anything like Pac?

You mean tuneup for another midget?

Because Mayweather can't get down to 140 comfortably anymore and fighting anyone with as big a name as JMM at 147 is too much risk for Floyd.

Basically Floyd is a *****...

its a good lead in fight since jmm is pac's arch nemesis.

floyd 5'8", jmm and pac are both 5'6" I think so in the strict sense of the word midget I don't think u are correct.

Mayweather is certainly open to criticism, but calling his resume "garbage" is just straight out ridiculous son.
