Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: For Right Money, I'd Tell Floyd To Hit 175

[4Corners]

It's been reported that Mayweather, who came in 2 lbs over the contracted limit, and paid a fine, was over 20 lbs heavier than Marquez on fight night. He refused to weigh in before the fight. It looked like David and Goliath.

I can't remember when he actually HAS weighed in at fight-time. He always refuses. I wonder why............?

Actually he weighed in for his last fight against Ortiz, he was 150 lbs on fight night. He also did against Oscar, he was 150 lbs. He looked bigger than ever those 2 fights. You're delusional if you think Floyd weighed over 20 lb heavier on fight night against Marquez.

Also why no response to my post correcting your grammar, when you tried So eloquently to correct someone elses......???? The word is actually WHUP, not WHOP or WHOOP.

2 lbs was not the reason Floyd dominated JMM.

He weighed in fight time in his very last fight, actually.

And he was 150, an astronomical 3 Lbs heavier than 147.

Please provide a link that 'reported' that that Mayweather was 20 Lbs Heavier than Marquez on fight night.

There is nothing to suggest he was 20 Lbs Heavier than Marquez.

He has never come to the ring heavier than 150 Lbs in his entire career.

Dude Bradley dont' even wanna fight Floyd doesn't that say it all.Manny don't even wanna fight Bradley. I wouldn't be surprise to see a mysterious injury cancel the fight.

To be fair, same can be said of Floyd wanting to fight Manny. I think there could have been an easy fix - winner gets 60 percent(for example). Still, how do you pass up 50-50 with the other top fighter of your time, if you actually want to give the fans a good show? Is 50-50 not enough money to finally get it done? Seriously? The testing has been agreed on. Now this? Come on...

I'd love to see team Manny wear T-shirts saying "don't be an ass, take the 50-50". Something along those lines would be fun to see!

Nice BS propaganda dude but the world saw that fight and size/strength had nothing to do with Floyd winning. The weight did not matter neither did it matter when Marquez fought the Roidster.

yea good job rog. the ***** yall been accusing manny, same thing yall bluffing us on doing.

Floyd should should say f**k Pacquiao and just fight Cotto now and move up to 160 and fight Sergio.

Pacquiao still wouldnt be on the resume, but imo fighting Martinez at 160 or even 154 is just as good or even better than a Pacquiao fight

I agree with the last point - Sergio is still a monster of a challenge. If Floyd wants to be remembered as the greatest, that would have to do. Still, too bad he's being an idiot with this "no 50-50 with the other top fighter of our time" BS. Even something like a 60-40 for the winner would be good. Quit making team Pacquiao jump through hoops - HE AGREED TO THE DAMN TESTS ALREADY!

My god......While I often talk s**t about people spelling like morons on here, this was just pointless.

Also, isn't the word actually WHUP???? Not Whop or Whoop????

BING Dictionary: Whup

1. Strike somebody: To beat somebody (informal)
2. U.S. Defeat somebody: To subject an opponent to a crushing defeat (informal)
3. Southern U.S. whip somebody: to beat somebody with a whip

[Late 19th century. Dialect varient of whip]

You notice that the explanation said "informal". I think it's an "ebonics" word, definitely not a real word although it has come into the language by constant use. Constant use of any wrong term is a pervasive influence, and corrupts practically everything it touches. It's just a variant of "whop".Since you point out "whip" this may be where "whop" comes from also. Definitely onomatapoeiac in origin. I happened to learn in a more formal school and I notice these things. So once in a long while, I "let go" and speak my mind. Of course with a site like this, it's more than iliteracy, there are posters from abroad with second language English. No harm.

Just a harmless diversion from all the ******ity' at least it has balance and logical connectivity.

C'mon man. You know the word that people mean when they say "He whooped this guy or that guy" is really "whup". C'mon....

Of course I know. Where I come from the word used is "whop". I was whopped by the teacher more than once. I used the old remedy of putting a thin copybook inside my pants. Worked well too except when the cane overlapped and stung my leg. As I said just a harmless refuge from the mindless floods of poorly thought-out, irrelevant, illiterate nonsense that these pages are constantly deluged with. Boxing is my hobby, but i need a little diversion now and then.
