      If it was so irrelevant to Floyd why is he haggling over the weight with JMM.
      I think there is a possibility he dislikes draining his body for the scales and finds it easier to just jump on the scales and be healthy for the fight. If he needs to lose a pound or two, he can take a simple piss. Maybe he doesn't like pills so he won't take them to piss out 10-20 pounds of fluids and then maybe he doesn't like needles so he doesn't want to have to stick one in his arm so the I.V. can fill his body back up with electrolytes/fluids.

      Maybe other fighters should follow his lead and actually fight at what they are at on the last day of training camp before they start dropping pills to piss out all the fluids in their body to make weight for the scale.

        u don't really think he's terrified to fight marquez at 140 do you?


        Know i just dont think he is confident enough to have the fight on an even keel. It does not seem to be a coincidence his last fight was against another 140lbs he dragged up to 147, and you can guarantee if he beats Marquez he will be dragging Pac up there.

        Its shows a lack of confidence in your ability imo.

            Floyd ducked an entire division of contenders, retires, comes back and campaigns for a fight at 147,

            against another smaller man from a lower division.

            Not fighting for the most money.

            A fight with Cotto would bring him more money right now than Juan Manuel Marquez.
            you know this how? cuz all cotto's ppv's do HUGE numbers, right?

            u talk a lotta ****, but u never have any kind of proof or evidence to back up what you say. i said name a WW fighter floyd ducked, and this is what you give me.....

              Floyd's star seriously probably is'nt much brighter that Marquez's. Marquez actually has respect from true boxing fans. Floyds been inactive and he needs to fight someone with a name or he'll actually look like the ***** he is. He needs Marquez more than Marquez needs him. Marquez is coming off 2 amazing wins that actually mean something for his legacy. Floyds coming off 2 hand picked wins from 2 years ago. I don't know if you understand this but nobody is really going crazy over Floyd's return. Why d you think that is?

                  I gave you five when you asked for one, what other proof do you need? a video? I've got one of those too.


                  but just guessing,

                  what is Floyds 3rd best PPV buys?

                    whichever way it goes, haters won't look at it as even.....they'll still say floyd is the bigger fighter, and has no business fighting marquez.

                    floyd would fight him at 140, but he feels he's the bigger star, so he shouldn't have to bend to marquez's demands.....that's the way i see it, but i know a few other ppl would look at it as floyd being "scared."

                      Mayweather gains nothing by beating Mosley 8 years past his prime...
                      Whether that is that case. Mosley wont be worth fighting by the time Floyd gets around to it. He will be fighting the name not the fighter. ALA Calzaghe vs Jones.

                      He gets a pocket full of cash and a superstars name to bloster his solid, but unspectacular record. Plus he can guarentee victory if he fights him then. He has plenty to gain.
