    hmm yeah, but when you decide to move up in weight, you are deciding to change your physique i.e. sacrifice speed to gain power

    some boxers can adjust; some can't

      i guess he's just a real warrior; going after the best
      Oh I know he's a great fighter and a great warrior I just would be shocked if he won this fight. I'm also shocked that Nacho thinks they have a chance in this fight.

      I just think JMM is too old, and too small to contend with what Mayweather brings. Not to mention the fact JMM has been convinced to fight at 140+ is rediculous.

      I love JMM but I think if he wins this fight it will be one of the greatest upsets in the history of the sport and I'm not bull****tin.

        JMM weighed 140 on fight night. He is a small lightweight and would be tiny against any 140lber or above.

            Do you agree though that neither one of them will weigh 147 or over on fight night.

                imagine the kinds of threads that would sprout if JMM pulls it off?

                  i think if absolutely anyone beats Floyd it would be a tremendous upset

                  i think JMM can handle Floyd's pace and his power. and i think JMM is too precise, too calculated and too smart to be fristrated in there

                  he just gets hit a little too easily these days, and i doubt he can hurt Floyd - so i predict Mayweather will take over in the latter rounds and decision him (JMM is simply not getting knocked out, his will is too strong)

                  JMM's reward for winning is very, very great though... and he obviously believes in himself

                    before agree or disagree, It is mismatch.
                    JMM is featherweight~lightweight boxer,but floyd is wholly welterweight.
                    Keep the boxing rule, ****...

                      true

                      but, hey, regardless of his age, these are golden days of his career - he's being handed opportunities he wouldn't have got in his physical prime

                      and he obviously feels it's worth it to persue them... as Del Boy would say "He who dares wins, Rodders... He who dares wins"
