First off, In the the old days of boxing, there were only six weight divisions. Not one every 5-6 pounds like now. Guys fought heavier guys all the time and won. At the end of the day skills pays the bills. Floyd didn't really use his weight as an advantage. It was all skill. He Pot-shotted. He used jabs to keep marquez away. Left hooks and blazing rights all night. He didn't use his weight to wrestle like hatton does. It was all skill. Mayweather has fought guys heavier than him several times throughout his career. Guys don't have to be the exact same height, same weight, and same everything. At no weight, would marquez have had a chance against floyd. Marquez is a true champion but he doesn't have many fights left in him. Stop Bitching about the weight!

^ i agree can't wait till Floyd moves up and dominates at 160.

JMM needed to be agile but with the extra weight he wasnt. Simple as. Plus he got tired easier.
If PBF can beat a heavier guy with handspeed that would be impressive. He hasnt really pushed himself. Always fighting slow guys which he can take advantage of. He dont want a resume full of slow guys if he wants greatness.

If what you say is true, Floyd should fight someone bigger now, maybe Dawson or Hopkins.

But he will never fight a technically skilled opponent with a reach advantage.

You guys are hilarious. Nothing floyd ever has done is **** in the eyes most people on these forums, but yet in still. In the eyes of boxing pundits and historians around the world hes considered a great. I wonder how that happens.
