The welterweight limit is 147 Pounds.
If you are a natural welterweight then you should not weigh at maximum more than 5 pounds over the Welterweight limit come fight night.
I constitute a welterweight a fighter who doesnt rehydrate more than 5 pounds over the welterweight limit come fight night.
because the limit should be 147 pounds.
If you are suppose to be a 147 pound fighter you should not be rehydrating to 165 pounds.
you get my point

Regardless, fights against Mosley, Cotto, Clottey would be better wins than those against Hatton, JMM, Pacquiao purely because they are bigger. So honestly Just WW's I wouldnt mind him fighting Pacquiao at 147 not JMM, if he does fight JMM it should be a tune up at 140 and wouldn't really add anything to his legacy.
I fully expect Pacquiao to be blown out of the water at 147 against Floyd, fights against Cotto, Mosley would be greater for legacy only slightly worse moneywise and would be sterner tests.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostI get your point. But you're saying you don't believe that you are a welter if you rehydrate over five pounds come fight night? Are you saying that Ike Quartey wasn't really a welter in his prime? Neither was Pernell Whitaker? Oscar De La Hoya? Felix Trinidad? Hell, Oba Carr?
Just curious.
Because Historically and even as recent as the 1980's with fighters like SRL,Hearns,Hagler, etc.
You could not come over the weight division limit before fight night.
By 1 Pound let alone 5 pounds...
That way we had fair fights.Boxers have 17 weight classes to fit into. They should be compelled to fight within the one that most nearly reflects their actual trim and fit weight.
If fighters cant make 147...
they should fight at 154
If they cant make 154 they should fight at 160...
this is the whole reason we have 17 weights classes instead of the orgianl 8 classes like we used to have
so we can see the best 147 pounders fighting the best 147 pounders.. in the ww division
not the best 147 pounders fighting the best 163 pounder in the ww divisionLast edited by Horus; 04-21-2009, 06:35 PM.

Ok Horus, aka ****head, can I ask you a question as a Floyd dicksucker?
Would you rather Floyd take on JMM rather than a proper WW in Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosley? If so WTF???

You ben having a good argument iwth Horus there. Ive been looking at it, cuz it was fun.
Noticed how everytime you gavehim a good answer, he tried to flip the page to other subjects, or just rtes, alot if nonsense.
