I don't know one fan unless he's just a flat out hater that doesn't give Floyd credit for what he did at 130 or 135 bro.Comment

A lot of the points would have merit if there were same day weigh in's but there isn't so a welter weighing 160 on fight night if he weighs 147 at the weigh in he's a ww.
You can't decide to enforce a rule that doesn't exist when you want to.
That's the one thing I don't like about people saying so and so weighed x.
You guys act like it's against the rules. It's not.
If it was, your points are fine, but don't make a rule up when it's convenient for you.
We got Middleweights pretending to Welterweights...
and therefore instead of real welterweights fighting each other we have
welterweights fighting middleweights for a welterweight title.
Here is the Logic:
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.
The primary objective of having 17 weight classes in this sport should be to determine the best fighters within specific intervals of weight. Not to pick on Margarito, but if he weighs a trim and fit 165 lbs. on fight night, then how on Earth can we call him the 147 lb. champion with a straight face?
Why have so many weight classes if the boxers being weighed are going to make a mockery of the system?Comment

same day weigh in's are dangerous.
if fighters think guys are too big for him at a certain division then he shouldn't be fighting in that division.
if cotto , shane , marg is too big for floyd that's fine. go back down to 140.
147 is too big for jmm. this fight shouldn't be made.Comment

147 is too big for jmm. This fight shouldn't be made.what's up with these statistics showing the percentage of time at each weight? Is roy jones a natural 160lber? Is oscar de la hoya a natural feather? They spent most of their fights in the lower weights, no?
But like all fighters who move up they also settle into a higher weight. And spend time there. Jones did it at 175. Oscar at 147. Mosley at 147. And so on. Floyd looked to be doing the same at welter before he retired. What does "natural" weight mean? Floyd's body as it stands can't make 135. And if he did squeeze down that low it would be very unnatural.Comment

This is the huge problem in boxing.
We got Middleweights pretending to Welterweights...

Everybody fights under the same rules and have the same advantages/disadvantagesComment

his most effective fighting weight is 140-135
naturally he is 147 now because its ****** to move back down to 140 now that his body is acclimated to 147Comment
