    Funny because you must have cast your vote wrong then. You voted that the JMM fight was fair but obviously you meant that the Pavlik fight is fair as well or...?

        You can make an arguement that it's fair or it's unfair, the whole thing with me is that JMM CALLED out Floyd, he wanted to fight Floyd. Floyd is being generous going down a few pounds imo.

        Typically, in boxing when a smaller fighter challenges a bigger fighter, almost always its the little guy stepping up since he was the one that initiated the challenge.

        So if JMM gets his ass kicked you cant really feel bad for him since he's the one that wanted the fight.

          Weight difference is the same in both fights. There maybe difference in height but as said several times there aint no rules about height.

          Pull another one.

                I'm really only talking fairness here. If Floyd fought everone who has called him out through the years his resumée would be full of legit welters by now.

                  Do you really believe Floyd came back simply because Marquez called him out?

                  I don't think you really do.

                  If you do, whats your take on Margarito calling Floyd out?

                    To answser your other post, Hearns is 6'1, Leonard 5'10, thats 3 inches not 5. What it boils down to is where a fighter is effective. Its not about weight, but where he is effective. Floyd wouldnt be as effective at 160 as he is at 147 and below.

                      So you would say that both fights are fair?
