You're missing the point, boxing has weight divisions for a reason. I'm strictly referring to fighting within your own weight division, specifically the welterweight division.
Just because two individuals are ranked highly on the P4P list, doesn't mean that they should fight(weight divisions for a reason)--flawed logic.
How can you say two pounds made a difference when Mayweather fought Marquez but it didn't when Pacquiao fought Cotto? Please let me knowComment

[QUOTE=lskjersey;7421089]Well here are some facts for you.
Fact! Cotto was offered to fight Mayweather and his uncle said he was not ready. This was when both fighters where at 140 lbs and when they where at 147
FACT CHECK: OF COURSE HE WASN'T READY, WHICH IS WHY FLOYD WANTED IT THEN. TWO--FLOYD NEVER MENTIONED COTTO'S NAME WHEN HE BECAME SUCCESSFUL AT WELTERWEIGHT, SEEMS LIKE A FLOYD MOVE.
Fact! Bob Arum has avoided sending any of his welters after Mayweather
YOU'RE RIGHT AND THAT HAS MORE TO DO WITH KEEPING THE MONEY IN-HOUSE.
Fact! Mosley was supposed to fight Mayweather befor Oscar. He gave oscar a 58 million dollar payday.
FACT CHECK: UNDERSTANDABLE FLOYD WENT AFTER THE MONEY FIGHT (HE'S BEEN AT THE WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT SINCE 2005)
Fact! Floyd's 2nd and third fight at welter he came into the ring at 147 and 148 the night of the fight against the number 2 welter Zab Judah and the number 1 welter Carlos Baldimir, who regardless of what YOU may think where the Undisputed and former Undisputed welterwight champions of the WORLD the whole world Craig the whole world.
FACT CHECK: JUDAH ALSO HADN'T GROWN INTO A REAL WELTERWEIGHT AND ADD TO THAT HIS PROPENSITY FOR BEING A TALENTED, UNDERACHIEVING HEADCASE AND WITH A MEDIOCRE RECORD AT WELTERWEIGHT SPEAKS VOLUMES. BALDOMIR GOT LUCKY...END OF STORY.
that means during these fights he was still naturally a jr welter. the only welterweight fight he actualy fought as a true welter was his last fight.
FACT: HIS LAST FIGHT HE NATURALLY FOUGHT A LIGHTWEIGHT WHILE HE CAME INTO THE RING A WELTERWEIGHT(YOUR OWN WORDS)...AND HE GETS CREDIT FOR THIS BECAUSE?....
befor he retired floyd walked around at 147lbs. Hatton walks around 160+ DLH walks around close to 170 Clotty walks around at about 160 Mosley is does as well.
FACT: TAKING HATTON/ODLH OUT OF THE EQUATION AND BRINGING IN MOSLEY/CLOTTEY AS AN EXAMPLE STILL DOES NOT BELIE THE POINT THAT MAYWEATHER FIGHTS AT THE WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT AND HAS SINCE 2005.
so with that out the way.
Pacman fought DLH lower than he'd ever been in 7 years-was not even ranked as a welter
WHICH I ALSO GIVE HIM NO CREDIT FOR. IT WAS ALSO HIS FIRST FIGHT AT WELTERWEIGHT. FLOYD'S FIRST FIGHT AT WELTERWEIGHT WAS IN 2005 AGAINST SHARMBE MITCHELL
Pacman Fought Cotto who was 2 lbs under his best weight at weigh in
YES BUT COTTO WAS A NATURAL WELTERWEIGHT/RANKED FIGHTING WITHIN THE WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT, CONTRAST THAT WITH MAYWEATHER'S LAST FIGHT, A NATURAL WELTERWEIGHT THAT NIGHT ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN WORDS FOUGHT A LIGHTWEIGHT WHO DRANK TOO MANY PROTEIN SHAKES TO PUT ON WEIGHT.
Now fighting Clotty who has lost to all the other good welters save for Judah and the to me was questionable as Clotty got away with alot of dirty tactics.
I LIKE HOW YOU GIVE THE UNDERACHIEVER OF ALL UNDERACHIEVERS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT LOL. BUT OK I WILL STIPULATE JUDAH.
so you want to compare. within his first three fights mayweather was undisputed welter champion. in his first three fights he took out number two and number one.
UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THIS FACT, IT'S CORRECT SAVE FOR ONE THING...CONTEXT.
Pac has Fought at welter twice now he fought an unranked and one top five but skipped number 2 Mosley and the former king Mayweather. Mayweather is number 2 now Mosley is number 3 now for his third fight pac is fighting number FIVE.
PAC WILL HAVE TWO RANKED LEGITIMATE WELTERWEIGHTS UNDER HIS BELT, WHILE HAVING ONLY BEEN AT WELTERWEIGHT A YEAR. MOST FIGHT FANS INCLUDING BOXING SCRIBES LIKE DOUGIE FISCHER, BERT SUGAR AND LARRY MERCHANT UNANIMOUSLY CONSIDER THIS FLOYD'S FIRST TRUE LEGITIMATE FIGHT WITHIN THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION.Last edited by switchsouthpaw; 02-04-2010, 11:51 AM.Comment

2lbs referring to a guy who had been a natural welterweight for a few years, versus marquez...who was a lightweight only a few months before that...do you really not recognize the difference when you view it in context?Comment

For your sig:
I Roger Mellie acknowledge i am a bias Floyd hater with no real boxing knowledge. However i have been schooled by check hook and as such i must admit FMJ is a talented boxer who was clearly ducked by Manny Pacquiao.
Furthermore i think it is highly suspect Manny Pacquiao would not agree to random blood testing and his behaviour is highly su****ious!!!Comment
