The Mayweather Jr/P. Williams double standard...

[BattlingNelson]

What 147lber did Pwill make fight above 147lbs?

I don't know but would think that Pully should have said a 154 lb'er. Martinez was forced to 160.

[Clyde Barrow]

There is no double standard.

[Berryfrom9th]

1. floyd isn't moving down to lightweight and jr welterweight to fight them there

2. pwill is forcing 147 lbers to fight above 147 lbs.

3. pwill has never not made weight

Sorry I meant why is it ok for Paul to move down and fight smaller men but its not ok for Floyds OPPONENTS to move up and fight FLOYD?

Because, he is moving down to fight at there weight... He is not making anybody come up(except for maybe Martinez) to his weight.

Is really quite simple.

No its not homie. FLOYD DOESNT "MAKE" ANYBODY MOVE UP. Floyd is the draw. These dudes are chasing that paper. There is no gun their heads. As I said, we cannot be mad at the bigger man if the smaller man SIGNED THE DOTTED LINE. Floyd is simply collecting his money. Floyd fought two guys out of 39 fighterd that were smaller than him. Everyone P will ever fought was shorter than him and came in the fight weighing less...

Fine Floyd didn't make them whatever... But, you comparing apples to oranges... Again is harder to go down in weight then go up... P-Will is going down, Floyd is not... I don't know how else to explain it to you... Is quite different on what they do...

Just wondering, why is it ok for P. Williams to slim down and fight small men in the welterweight division who he always has height, reach and weight advantage over? Yet lightweights and jr ww challenge Floyd and he's wrong for fighting them? At some point you have to move up in weight anyway. If Floyd fought guys who were 5'3 I'd see the problem, but Hatton and JMM were both 5'6. Floyd is listed at 5'8 but he's actually 5'7 and a quarter. (I know because that's what they used to list him at in the LW division). Yet Paul (6'2) is fighting guys that he has a half of foot in height and a foot in reach over? I'm not knocking P. Wills hustle but I just would like to see people stop crying about weight and height. I can't blame the bigger man for knocking out a little dude who SIGNED THE DOTTED LINE to fight him. Nobody put a gun to their head. Usually the smaller dude is chasing that paper when he moves up in weight as Floyd did when he went to 154 to fight ODLH who stands at 5'11. I only used P. Will because he seems to be everyones "darling" boxer on here. Before you blame the big man, question the little man.

In my view its not ok, but he isn't technically breaking any rules so he is going to do whatever he wants regardless of what I think and I respond by not giving him any credit for wins over any WW.

martinez wanted the fight with williams right? hatton and marquez called floyd out right? so all of them had to come to the champion and thats where the double standards are. no one cared that martinez was gettin ready for a fight at 154 yet had to move up to 160 but floyd fights hatton and marquez and it's a problem

So add that as a double standard. The TS was saying Williams going down to 147 read what he said. Williams going down while fight fighters coming up is not the same. It is not a double standard. Is comparing apples to oranges.

And, for the record go ask Burner if P-Will didn't get **** for making Martinez go up to 160. So again where is the double standard?

[2501]

can't believe this has to be explain various times.

The comparison is idiotic.

Williams has been fighting opponents at their weight class. Floyd has made his last 2 opponents climb to Floyd's weight class.

again..

One fighter is taking on opponents at their best weight. One fighters is taking opponents OUT of their best weights.

All this "he was the draw, they challenged him" bs doesn't apply because YOU are making the comparison in regards to weight/size ratio. We aren't talking about status here
