    Well it took an act of god, a terrible disaster, to get Floyd in the ring with Mosley, so we'll see who Floyd fights from here.

      Facts:

      Marquez never had a fight above 135 LBS (list all the fight night weights you want, but the fact remains

      Floyd refused to come into the weight they originally agreed on

      Floyd originally wanted to fight Marquez @ 147 LBS

      Floyd keeps talking about how boxing should be an even playing field, but his choices don't reflect that. Sure, you can say that it was Marquez's fault for signing the contract. But then, wouldn't it also be Cotto's fault for agreeing to fight Pacquiao? But thats besides the point, thats not what this thread is about.

      How was Marquez/Mayweather fougth on an "even playing field"?
      JMM called out Floyd not the other way around. JMM knew when he called out Floyd he had to move up 2 weight classes because Floyd was not going to move down weight classes to fight JMM.

            Floyd, SSM, and GBP tried since 2008 to make a fight with Floyd vs. SSM. You can talk all the **** you want, but the facts are Floyd wanted to fight SSM since 1999 and they almost had a deal in place when he first came back from retirement.

              And your point validates another hypocrisy.

              But we really aren't getting any legit answers coz in reality "the even playing field" which Floyd and his stans are saying is imaginary.
              that's just Burner mostly. he thinks that if you avoid a question long enough and ask 30 of your own, you somehow win an argument. especially if he refuses to answer your original question and then bitches about you not answering his.

              this is Sin City btw.. my old account was banned.

                because only if he can get pacquiao blood drained before the fight
                then he will feel that the field is even ... without it
                he feels he has no chance against pacqiao

                  Both fighters are taking the same tests. Your argument is ****** because both fighters are going to take the same tests.

                      Floyd campaigned at 147 and won a title at 154. where was Hatton campaigning at and what was the highest class he won a title at?
