    Ok seriously, at 140,135,or 130 floyd murked JMM

    if u really think bout it.. floyd was quicker at those lighterweight classes

    so the weight really shouldnt be that much of a issue

    at any weight lets be honest floyd woulda done the same thing to JMM
    if not more brutal.. since floyd was more aggressive at 130,135 and 140

    I agree, I love Marquez, but he Mayweather is not the type of fighter he can beat. Mayweather is a puzzle yet to be solved.

            I'm sure the fights would be more competitive but Mayweather would still win. He's just a better fighter.

              Exactly!!!

              Mayweather had every advantage posble at 147 and didnt dare to KO JMM.

              At 130, JMM gives Floyd a run for his money, but I still pick Mr boat Flipper, beause of the styles. JMM is a counter puncher who doesnt know how to lead and FLoyd would be content to win a boring fight like he did last saturday

                What do you think other wise if Floyd fights Manny at 140lbs?

                    I've been saying it for a long Time: Floyd was better at 130-140. Even Freddie Roach has said this.
                    He had more speed, agility, stamina (which allowed him to up his work-rate)...and looked like he wanted to fight and win every round. Now, takes more time off...doesn't throw enough...finally brought back his jab....doesn't want to engage nearly as much...and so on.

                    Floyd wins on skills against JMM and I would be quite confident pitting the 140 pound version of Floyd against Pac at any weight...even his current weight.

                    I think the 140 pound version of Floyd beats the 147 pound version. The only time Floyd looked good at 147 like he did at the lower weights was in the Mitchell fight where he took it to him. Other than that....just a paycheck collector.

                    Right now he fights to preserve his Brain/Body for after his career is over. He'll do enough to win but don't expect him to break down an opponent and finish him when he could have.

                    I don't know if I would have become a fan of Floyd if I had just caught on to him at 147. It was his early part of his career that I became a fan.


                    This is how Floyd would have continued to fight JMM
