Can We Now Say Floyd IS NOT a Small Welterweight?

[LilGizmo562]

Nacho himself said Floyd was 152 and so did the commentary during the fight. Mayweather walks around 152-155.

Are you going to believe that Floyd weighs the same as Margarito and Mosley fight night at WW??

Nacho said he THINKS Floyd is 152, the translators did a **** job as always, Floyd was not weighed on Fight night, how in the **** did Nacho know Floyd's weight?

[MOTHER DUCKER]

That was then, no one told Floyd to move up to JWW or to WW to get "bigger paydays" but he moved up and now campaigns at WW, he claims to be the best WW, if he is, why doesn't he fight the best WWs?

So because he Faced Marquez a smaller guy after a 21month lay off he only picks on smaller guys?

Well he is comparing himself to ATGs such as Robinson or Leonard, Leonard came back after 3 years to fight the top MW in Hagler, but I guess Floyd is nowhere NEAR as great as Leonard since he can't do that, guess Floyd needs to shut up.

Compared to Mosely, Margarito, Williams, DLH, Cintron and Clottey he is a small WW.

Then why fight at WW? Why not campaign at JWW?

[Dirt E Gomez]

The debate can be framed around the issue in one of two ways:

Floyd is an actual welterweight; and thus big compared to smaller fighters.

Or

The average welterweight (and every weight class for that matter) should be fighting a division or two above it.

The truth is in the middle. Floyd is a legit Welterweight or Junior Welter but that makes him small compared to other WW's.

Of course he is a small WW. Being bigger than a LW does not make you a full-fledged WW in and by itself.

He's smaller than Cotto, Shane, Margarito, Clottey, Quintana, etc, etc

Didn't Leonard lose to duran

I don't know.


I guess he has trouble making 140. However, just because he struggles to make 140 doesn't necessarily mean that he is an average sized welterweight. How big of welterweight he is is determined by comparrison to the other welterweights, not how easily he can make 147.

Don't change the subject, I know you can't answer the question, but I'll answer yours, yes he lost to Duran, but he avenged his lost, so your statement was irrelevant, besides Duran fought all the top guys in every weight class he moved up in, can the same be said about Floyd? Let me answer the question for you, NO.
