According to most Floyd fans, Floyd isnt a WW, nor is he a JWW.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Then what the *** is he?????

I've heard some really dumb **** come out the mouths of Floyd fans before, but this really tops it.

When it comes to him fighting WW's, they claim he's to small and not really a natural WW, yet in the same breath, they claim he cant make 140 anymore.

Can anyone explain this one to me? They've really outdone themselves with this one. LMAO!!!

Hes a jr. middle welterweight.

Yeah but I consider myself a Floyd fan, although I dont goto lengths to defend him and I dont feel this way..

I feel he IS a welterweight.. hes been there for 4+ years... I dont care what his weight is on fight night...

Just because Cotto balloons up to 160... this makes floyd a JRWW because he only balloons up to 150?

Floyd spent half his career moving UP IN WEIGHT... if he wants a few mega matchups to come UP to face him.. whats the big deal?

Bernard sure did it... and he is touted as legendary...

I understand the JMM debacle because he was a 130lb fighter two fights ago... so THAT i understand...

Exactly!....

Hes a jr. middle welterweight.

LOL....Good one. Im surprised i havent heard that come out of thier mouths by now.

[BmoreBrawler]

the smart ones know he takes fights based on how much $$$ he can earn off them. it makes no difference whether its against a WW or a JWW. he'll fight anybody if the price is right. once the bashers and haters come to that understanding, we'll have a lot less threads like this one here.

Then why did he duck Margarito to to fight Mitchell/Baldomir for less money?

[Ishy Aytan]

Listen, Floyd's a welter plain and simple

The Floyd fans that say otherwise are deluded.

Then why did he duck Margarito to to fight Mitchell/Baldomir for less money?

Baldomir was the lineal WW champ. Margarito werent.

Well it does make a difference in this case when he's trying to get a light weight to come up to 147 for a fight. Im happy that a deal is close to signed, and a catchweight is has been agreed upon, but it doesnt negate the fact that Floyd tried to make this fight happen at 147.

His fans defend this fight happening at WW, yet moan and complain that he's not a WW when an actual WW wants to fight at WW.

if pacman moved up to 147, from 135, to fight a JMW......

what's wrong with marquez moving up the same weight, to fight a guy HE CALLED OUT?

bingo!............

he fought baldomir for 2 million MORE, than what he would've made fighting margarito.....

[Ravishing]

Baldomir was the lineal WW champ. Margarito werent.

At the time when the ABC belts still had a grasp on Boxing, the WBC belt was the recognized belt in the Welterweight Division. Baldomir beating Zab Judah made him the "lineal" champion, but he wasn't necessarily better than Margarito or provided that much risk. It was a victory taylor made for Floyd mayweather to capture a title in that particular division.
