Can ANYONE explain this to me?

How can you say one weight class when the guy weighs 148 pounds? Floyd could fight every single fight at 154 right now but that doesnt make him a 154 pounder. For you guys to keep saying that he's a WW is a joke. He's clearly not. He's not even bigger then anyone at 140 let alone WW. Forget Oscar, IM even talking about the WW's. The guys in his same division. They clearly look like there atleast 2 divisions over him naturaly

If Floyd is NOT a natural welterweight, if Floyd is not even bigger than anyone @ 140, if the guys fighting at welterweight are 2 divisions BIGGER than him?

Then why does Floyd, the NON welterweight, want to fight Juan Manuel Marquez (who hasnt even fought past light weight) at the WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT OF 147? Why?

Yeah, this really doesn't make any sense.

If a guy is not a welterweight, and is more naturally suited to 140, then why did he insist that Hatton fight him at 147? Does it make sense to have two junior welters fighting at the welterweight limit? Not to me.

How about Marquez? If Floyd is a natural junior welter, and Marquez is looking to move up to junior welter from lightweight, why would he put himself one weight class above his comfort zone and make Marquez move up two weight classes at a time, putting him about his comfort zone too?

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Floyd is gonna fight JMM at 144.

He doesn't want to give up eating Maruchan and Skittles?

Floyd is gonna fight JMM at 144.

But why did the NON welterweight want JMM at the Welterweight limit?

I was going to make a thread like this of my own. Good job, son.

It makes no sense.

Mayweather's huggers run around screaming about him not being a "real" Welterweight anytime someone says Mayweather vs. another 147lbs'er.

So why not move out of the damn divison then? Go down to 140, where he probably belongs, and fight the Hatton's, the Marquez's, and the Pacquiao's there?

Why not just go down to 140?

Because that would level the playing field.

And we can't have that.

Using this logic Diego "Chico" Corrales could have fought Tito and Roy Jones Jr and Mike Tyson. They're all 5'11. Can someone explain to me how Tito, Roy and Tyson are "bigger" than Chico?

They're all the same height and the difference in reach is negligible between them. They should all fight each other as long as they weigh in at the same weight. It'll be an even match size wise. Right?

Read that.......

[Fox McCloud]

Floyd is gonna fight JMM at 144.

He should pick one weight class or the other... this 144 **** is ridiculous.

Also, the "best fighter of all time" as he proclaims himself is really not so limited that he can't fight these guys at 140, right?

You can't make the argument that he is miniscule at 147, and that he can't make 140 too... that is non-sensical.

But why did the NON welterweight want JMM at the Welterweight limit?

Floyd wanted it closer to 147, not the WW limit exactly. Stop putting words in Floyd's mouth.
