    Floyd can make 140 if he really wants to and will if Pac wants that , he is making 144 now and he will do it easy , Floyd is only a liitle guy that was outweighed even by Hatton on the night .

      Incorrect! Speed, barely, power, yes, accuracy and timing? He's not Juan Marquez, Floyd is much better in that department.

        it dont really matter cause if they do fight they're both gone weight around the same when the get in the ring

          Thats exactly right and all thats really important ,,,, so if Pac is the same size as Floyd , then logic says JMM cant be far away and is at the same weight disadvantage with Floyd as he was with Pac ,,,, 4 pound .

            It dont matter whether they fight at 140 or 147 because they will still weigh around 147 on the night , this board has no idea about weight , all they know is or care about is dehydrated weight 30 hrs before the fight ,, ridicules !
            but he still has not fought a 147 pound fighter at 147 has he
            oscar was not a prime 147 pound fighter foyd is or is still close to his prime at 147

              watch the first round of Hatton/Mayweather and the first round of Pacquiao/Hatton the difference in speed between the two fighters is massive, I just can't see how Floyd makes up that differential.
              b/c people can hate and lie all they want. but the thing that doesnt change is May's skill level vs Pac's

              and Pac skill level isnt high when you put him in the ring with an Elite fighter like Floyd. people justlike to pull the wool over their eyes and hate b/c they want to see May get beat.

              if i remember correctly. wasnt Dlh and Hatton both the betting favorites before fight night and once fight night came around. PBF was the betting fave in both?

              people are ******. they are going to put their egos aside for common sense. well the smart ones will

              PAc stands no chance against May nor does JMM, Cotto, Shane or anyone else in the division

                ,, Floyd is not a WW by todays WWs that actually fight on the night at MW ,,,, you guys must learn the difference between being dehydrated weight and being your fight weight ,,,,, the divisions were made with the idea fighters fight at that limit or under , Floyd fights at 147 just like Pac so they are really WW but actual welters of today are abusing the system so they fight at MW .

                Whether Floyd has fought bigger men is not ever being denied , everybody starts somewhere , Floyd went up Pac went up and now JMM is going up , the argument being put is Floyd has done it before so its an advantage , now thats a bit of stretch , first realize fighter grow , when they start out they are the lightest they can be at , if you look through history with truly elite fighters one thing stands out like dogs balls ,, they moved up successfully , JMM has moved up and his transition is great , so far he is looking better than he ever has and carrys more power , Floyd is coming back and the weights are going to be the same in the ring as when Pac fought JMM or within 2 pounds of that .

                I have no problems in acknowledging Floyd has the advantages his way which is the first time for a very long time ,,, but those advantages are not that far away , and that is the point ,,,, this fight based soley on fighting weight , is a much fairer fight than Cotto Pac or Mosley Pac , its not even close to the weight difference of those fights and its accepted Floyd is Pacs size as both fight in the ring around 147 , and as a fighter JMM is every bit as good or better than Shane or Cotto .

                    i think you not understanding what i was trying to say imo floyd has a better change of beating pac at 147 because pac has never been hit by a prime 147 like floyd at 140 or 144 floyd still wins but it would be a closer fight imo

                      No point in making this fight at 140 since neither are going to weigh 140 come fight-night. I would rather these two be healthy so they should just make it at 147 so they don't have to drain to much (if at all) for the scales.


                      If this was the version of Floyd at 140, that version back in the day that beat Gatti, I would feel more confident about Floyd's odds than I do now with this version of Floyd since I don't know what to expect. And even the version that went into retirement; I wasn't all that impressed.
