      I think Floyd could make Strawweight, I mean... 32 years ago he weighed less than a stone, true story!

        I wouldn't go that far reed

        I just find it funny how Floyd and Pacquiao both weigh 148 yet one is a huge WW ( Not true ) and the other is a blown up FW ( Not true )

        the only difference is guys like Pacquiao and JMM drained themselves and rehydrated 10 + lbs while Floyd didn't

        Now that Pacquiao is doing the same you can see he is the same size as Floyd, the same applies to JMM

        i sometimes wish Floyd stayed at 135/140 and not gone up to face guys who outweigh him by 15+ lbs

          Yes because all great fighters stay within 10 lbs of the weight they started out, their whole career.

          And if Floyd could still make 135/140, why not fight Marquez there? Why does Floyd need an advantage against him?

            Becasue his next fight will be either Pacman or Cotto at 144 or 147

              Why fight Pac at 144 or 147? Why not fight him for his linear 140 title? Makes no sense, unless he can't make 140 anymore, or he needs an advantage against Pac, like he does against JMM.

                He didn't want to fight Mosley at 140, yet he does with Floyd

                Sure thing bud

                Pacman is most likely going to beat Cotto. He will be ranked second best WW after that. Floyd beats Pacman and JMM, sets up fight with Mosley for ring title.

                Simple, if you don't see that you ***ed

                  Why fight Mosley when you can fight the man that beat him?

                  Why would Floyd care about fighting a ranked WW? He doesn't now.

                      Cotto didn't beat Molsey, he got a gift in Rican MSG. Mosley even said had the fight been on the west coast he would have won. Same thing applies for Clottey.

                      Pacman doesn't care about his 140 title, if he did he would have accepted Mosley's offer.
