NSB: Would you rather have Floyd fight the BEST of any weightclass or Just WW?

[Spacey1991]

And what proof says Floyd is UNABLE to make 140?

He can make 140 EASILY.... if HATTON, who walks around at 170 in between fights, can make 140... then Floyd can, as he walksa round at 150 even...

True, I get what you mean by looking at him you would think he can make 140... but I haven't heard him say he can or can't so that's why I don't say much on the matter, maybe he can make 140 easily... and maybe not.

IT'S HORUS AND MR. BOAT BUYER classic!!!!

[BattlingNelson]

This is what I agree with 80%, this fight with JMM is a tune-up... nothing huge, it wont enhance his legacy a lot... but only a little bit because it is another good name to have on your resume. It is like what Ree****yalus has been saying... a win over JMM at 147 or whatever is a pretty good win, but not an absolute great win.

For what you said about him saying he will come back just to seal his legacy and add to it and fighting JMM is a disappointing I disagree with, I don't mind him fighting JMM when it is classed as a tune-up to get rid of ring rust, nobody should blame him for not stepping into the ring with somebody like Cotto or Mosley straight after an 18 month layoff... if you get what I mean? If it is just to sharpen him up a bit and get rid of ring rust I don't mind... I don't like calling it a tune-up fight in respect to JMM, but it is the best way to describe it.

Either way, good post... and I gotta give credit to Horus for making this poll which was a pretty good one, because it has matched out pretty evenly.

As a tune-up it's an ok fight for sure. I believe I've said so multiple times. Just don't oversell it. It's a tune-up and nothing else.

You see it as a tune up and will give Floyd no credit. What I see is a fighter coming of a year and a half lay off fighting second best fighter in the world at catchweight. I will give Floyd all the credit in the world

I feel if Floyd is gonna comeback, it should be against fighters within his weight-class (147), or within reach. If Floyd wants to fight a 135lber, or a 140lber, then both fighters are going to have to sacrifice a little, and meet at a catch weight. None of this bull**** about who call out who. Then again, if Floyd wants to campaign at 147, but fight only LW's and LWW's, then he should indeed move down if he has no intentions in fighting any WW's. Why be in a weight-class if you're not planning on fighting any of the top guys there?

[King Koopa]

I'd love to see him fight Mosley or P.Williams at 147, but that won't happen

I wouldn't be mad at JMM or Pac-man bouts at catchweights either

[victorythagr8]

If there were no elite fighters in his own weightclass, that would justify it.

But he could instead fight Mosley, Williams, Cotto, etc.

Mayweather is a coward for avoiding them and forcing a little fighter to move up to face him.

its funny you say this especially when Cotto, Mosley and clottey are calling out Pacman, JMM, and Hatton while Mayweather hasnt yet. **** i guess people forgot that when Floyd called out Cotto and Mosley that they both ducked mayweather. And cotto would've got his match if he never lost to margarito.

I can agree with that, fair enough...

[Luis12]

Nice sig, have you ever thought that it's not hate for you but that eveyone thinks you're a clown and we just like a good laugh.

Anyway to answer your topic if he wants to face the best of any weightclass then he should fight them in the weight class where they are the best and not make them fight where he has the clear advantage and is not willing to face the best in said weightclass.

agreed. that's what we tried to say. he's at 147 but fight a 135 fighter because he's a small WW?? what the f@ck is that.

if ur a fighter u don't make excuses..u fight the best in ur class

and people talking about cotto's win over jennings or gomez...what about mayweather's win over baldomir or bruseles?? i forgot baldomir was the great "lineal champ" and bruseles was....was....who is bruseles??

LMAO

When does pfp rankings dictate fair matchups? If Marquez calls out Hopkins, should he have to go up to LHW to face him, or meet him at a catchweight?
