Floyd Mayweather Jr: “Shane Mosley Blew His Chance”

[JAB5239]

Mayweather is to small to fight at welter and to big for 140 so he fights at Floydweight. That's the class where blown-up lightweights fight.

Lol! What good Bat?

[Roger Mellie]

People continue to ignore the fact that this is a good "Tune Up" that will lead to Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Also depending on how dominant Mayweather is, in his win against JMM, the demand will be HUGE.

Maybe people ignore it because Floyd ignores welterweights.

And nobody will make Mosely or Cotto do anything they don't want to either. Difference is, Manny is willing to take on the bigger challenges, whereas Floyd is taking on the smaller challenger instead of the guys in his own class.

But they arnt BIGGER challenges if youre making them drain themselves, then they are less effective, didnt we learn anything in the Oscar fiasco?

Is Floyd the lineal champ of that division?

He is the lineal champ at welter, but he never fights welterweights.

Lol! What good Bat?

Great jab! Wassup?

Unfortunately that comes with the territory of being Pound for Pound, you can move through multiple weights trying to meet every fighter's demands, its a gift and a curse.

People are putting too much emphasis on that. Sad thing is, boxing is demanding Pacquiao vs Mayweather. Guess Mayweather is gonna get alot of **** still.

what's a bigger challenge then? an already ballooned lightweight fighting even more ballooned at 144?

[fdotorres]

Marquez has a whole country behind him?

Really?


So why did his ppv vs Casamayor sell less than 150k & the fight was attended by less than 4000 people?

They had to black out the empty seats on television.

Before the Pacquiao rematch, he was stinking out the joint vs Juarez in a Arizona casino.

Whole country behind him?

complete ownage

I understand this, but its still all about money instead of proving you are the best in your own division. Floyd was given a pass to make money in the Oscar fight and didn't take on a top welter afterwards. He was given a pass for the Hatton fight and didn't take on a top welter after that. Now he's being given more passes to make money fights instead of proving who the best fighter at 147 is. Im all for a fighter making money. But Im against greed at the expense of the toughest challenges. Call me crazy, but thats just the way I see it.

Wasn't JMM 142 against Diaz, no one is forcing JMM to hit the scales at 144. He can hit the scales at 137-138 and come into the ring weighing 142.
