    Floyd wont get that much credit for beating marquez at that weight and im sure marquez isnt ****** enough to try take him on at the weight mayweather is requesting....
    Thats on Marquez, if he was already fighting at 147, people would still make excuses. Nobody will admit it but in their mind they just dont think Marquez can beat Floyd anyway, so they are making a huge deal out of the weight.

    Its funny when people try to pick opponents for Floyd they are always bigger than Floyd, its obvious these same people feel like it will take size to beat Floyd and not skill, since he is regarded by most as being the most skilled in the game.

      If you want the Fighter, beat him at his best.

      How about Floyd calls out Abraham and tells him to come down in weight. If Abraham does and he loses, should Floyd get full credit for beating him?

      I don't think so. Why? Because Abraham won't show up healthy.

      Beat the Fighter inside the ring, not on the scales.


      Plus, like I mention before: Floyd's basically a JrWW as far as them being allowed to show up at 147+ by fight-time. Floyd just skips the scales and gets on with it.
      And, Floyd is coming off a long layoff so that factors in it being fairer.


      JMM can also make Floyd wear "Reyes" gloves instead of "Winning" so there is a better chance of Floyd breaking his hands as usual. The more he fears breaking his hands or hurts his hands in a fight, the less punches he throws.

        Not sure how much it mattered and given Hopkins wasn't in his prime either...but, just saying; he got Tarver at the right time.

            I wonder how many years of their lives Floyd haters lose arguing the same thing over and over and over again for hundreds of pages pretending like their inbred opinions are going to change one damn thing.

              What the highest that JMM has weighed after a weigh in??? I love to know how much he weigh after he has re-hydrate himself at 130-135.

                He was 139 for Barrera and 141 for the second Pacquiao fight.
