      Floyd is NATURALLY bigger and stronger than JMM, there's no arguing that. He's also younger than JMM and in his prime, I don't think that JMM is PHYSICALLY in his prime anymore but he is there mentally.

      This is the reason Mayweather is a favorite because people don't know if JMM will be able to handle the strength and speed of Mayweather.

      Even Nacho said in the first 24/7 "He's stronger than you, bigger and faster", they know this, it's no excuse it's the truth. That is the MAIN reason Mayweather will win this fight because of that advantage.

      The same reason that most people would pick a prime DLH to beat Mayweather.
      Ive asked people who say Floyd is too big, who they would take at 130, 135, and 140 and they all said Mayweather, by that then the weight isnt the problem, its the skill level thats the problem.

        I never said they were the same size I have always said Floyd is a little bigger but he is not a Goliath to JMM. Whoever the better man is going to win on the 19th, if JMM is better he will win if Floyd is better he will win and size could play a role in that but if it does it is what it is.

          if floyd is just a little bigger than JMM then why can't he fought jmm at 140 lbs?

          Whoever the better man is going to win on the 19th,
          nah, floyd is too big.

          if JMM is better he will win if Floyd is better he will win
          nah, jmm is too small. only if jmm was 10x or even 5x more skilled could he beat floyd at WW.

          and size could play a role in that but if it does it is what it is.
          yep, so floyd fans should stop complaining about it.

            He didnt fight at 140 because he has come of a 2 year layoff , he will be at 140 for Pac ,,,,,, why did JMM so readily accept 144 ,,,, because he knows Floyd is small and he fights at 142-143 anway .

            Floyd fans are not complaining about the weight , they are complaining about people like you ignoring the weight they actually fight at which shows this is a fair fight weight wise , come on Pull lets see you write the numbers of the fight night weights of ,,, JMM Floyd Pac Cotto Mosly Margo Williams ,,,,, come on Pull you quote them for us I bet your hand starts shaking as you hit the keys ,,,, we all know what divisions weights are what do the fighters weigh in the fight ?

              he could've fought someone else for his tune up

              , he will be at 140 for Pac ,,,,,,
              i doubt that.

              why did JMM so readily accept 144 ,,,, because he knows Floyd is small and he fights at 142-143 anway .
              nope, its because jmm is desperate.

              Floyd fans are not complaining about the weight , they are complaining about people like you ignoring the weight they actually fight at which shows this is a fair fight weight wise
              the fight is not fair. jmm has never officially fought above 135 lbs. he is untested / unproven.

              , come on Pull lets see you write the numbers of the fight night weights of ,,, JMM Floyd Pac Cotto Mosly Margo Williams ,,,,, come on Pull you quote them for us I bet your hand starts shaking as you hit the keys ,,,,
              no need we all know already
              we all know what divisions weights are what do the fighters weigh in the fight ?
              yes, and jmm never fought anyone above the lightweight division.

                Im done bud , JMM fights on the night above 140 and you know it , if you are not man enough to admit the facts your not worth the time , your lying to yourself and thats a reflection of your maturity , have a think about it

                  but he fights in the lightweight division

                  lol... i admit that jmm comes in heavier than 140 lbs, but he is in the lightweight division.

                  , your lying to yourself and thats a reflection of your maturity , have a think about it
                  you're the one ignoring the fact that jmm fights in the lightweight division.

                    Pull will talk about Cotto's fight night weight but he won't speak of Marquez's.
