Will Floyd Stay at 154 After Cotto, or..

[CHOWWOKKA]

Good. You don't believe Floyd would make weight an issue next time around.
Just trying to get people's opinions here so we know where they stand if this becomes a problem later on.

When has Floyd ever made weight an issue?

Remember Marquez?

Remember Marquez?

3 years ago, I thought you were talking about with pacquiao?

I think Floyd should stay at 154.

All the fights are there.

sure. But not a lot of them are feasible.

Martinez, Canelo sure. Those would be high profile and bring the money. Everyone else is just far removed from such a fight. Similarly i don't expect Floyd to fight Mike Jones or Sevchenko.

Floyd can fight at 147 or 154. It's not like he's going to put on extra weight against Cotto at 154 or anything. He's probably going to weigh 150 on fight night like he did against Ortiz.

The other fights he should take at 154 after Cotto are Sergio Martinez and Saul Alvarez/James Kirkland. Alvarez and Kirkland depends entirely on what happens in the future. If Kirkland were to beat Angulo, Molina, Vanes, Alvarez, than I'd love to see him fight Mayweather. Same with Canelo. If he were to beat Vanes, Bundrage, and Kirkland, I'd like to see him fight Mayweather as well.

From a fans perspective, all the fights are at 154.

From a business perspective, all the fights are at cherry picking.

I, personally, don't care for the latter. Let's take it back to the old school and fight the best available.

We as the fans have took the fights boxing gave us for the last few years; I'm tired of it. The best should fight the best. There are plenty of fights for Pac and Mayweather outside of each other. Both should try to take over 154.

Regarding Pac, I don't want to hear that "he's too small crap". That's BS.

Most of them yeah. The biggest is still at 147.

Oh i don't know about that. The two biggest are Martinez and Pac. Possibly with Canelo in third place.

100% agree, I'm just being realistic. Floyd won't fight anyone not high profile.

Oh i agree fully. But i don't care about either guy fighting at ANY weight if they will only take easy high profile fights. Both of them should fight eachother or Martinez.

Regarding Pac, I don't want to hear that "he's too small crap". That's BS.

Hes as small as Floyd. They're both exceptional so they could make it work at 154.

I agree even though both are very small for 154, they can make it work. Because, they're exceptional and because 154 right now are full of proven fighters who are on the way out or unproven fighters. There aren't any Hearns, Body Snatcher, or Terry Norris running around in that division. Hell there isn't even a Winky Wright or Trinidad.

Very mediocre weight-class. And, the ones that might be good are unproven.

That's why if Pac-May don't fight each other, they must go to 154 and clean it out. There's too many question marks at 154 with no clear picture.

It's safe to say that Floyd and Pac cleaned out 147. Please don't mention Jones, Berto or Seschencho.

Martinez, Pac and Floyd all need to join the group at 154; it will be 2004 - 2007 all over again like 147.
