Yup. You are not the only one. For me, it's off-angle shots at great speed and volume that could spell the difference. Plus, IMO, the question of pbf's chin is still not answered because he is so good defensively. That will also be the case for pac as he was not chin-checked in his last 3 fights. The Cotto fight could answer some questions nagging me.
Floyd's Too Good For Any WW

Judging from his size at the JMM fight plus his speed, I say he's too good for any welterweight. Paul Williams MIGHT could beat him but I think the majority thinks PWill is not interested in 147 anymore. Zab was beating Cotto for awhile, Pac would have the same disadvantages that JMM had (except Pac would be dangerous in the early rounds.) Floyd would take over after 5.
Mosley is a shadow of what he once was. Size wise and skill wise he's the most competitive fight out there, but his reflexes can't match Floyd's. Clottey would be a tough test (I thought Clottey beat Cotto), but Cotto knocked Clottey on his ass with a jab. Clottey had no answer to Zab until Zab burned himself out, and got cut. It will be a cold day in hell before Floyd gets tired.
Floyd beats anybody at 147.Comment

JMM did not actually called out Floyd like Hatton did but he wanted to fight Floyd because in his mind Floyd is the best. JMM is p4p #2 and is a beast, you make it seem like Floyd never fought a fight his size.Comment

well i don't know about you, but i do see as a mismatch a fight between a guy that's 141 re hydrated (and has never fought above 135 pounds) go against a guy that failed to make the 144 limit because he's too big to make it; the same that a day later declined to weigh himself again on fight night for some mysterious reason
and yeah, DLH weighted 167 on fight night, but he and marquez were the old dudes in their respective fights against floyd. DLH held all the advantages against floyd except age, but floyd held all the advantages against marquez, including age
Also, it's OK for Floyd to have the advantages against JMM because it was a comeback fight, a tuneup, and not for a title.Comment

Again, you're resorting to extremes. Marquez was 141 rehydrated, yet Floyd had never been more than 149 rehydrated BEFORE their fight, no one knew he'd come over 144. Still, he payed JMM 600 G's for that, and rumors are that he was no heavier than 152.
Also, it's OK for Floyd to have the advantages against JMM because it was a comeback fight, a tuneup, and not for a title.
and about the weight, i don't know... there's no point in declining an unofficial weigh in if you're just 152Comment
