    You would "favor" these guys or do you think they could possibly win? There is a big difference between the two.

      can i pick guys who fought in black and white?


      in all seriousness, nobody. the divisions are nice, but they dont have any very good / great fighters at their best.

          I guess you missed where he made JMM jump two divisions to fight him in his backyard and still took two extra pounds.

          Imagine a prime RJJ, Toney or Benn asking FMJ to jump two divisions to 160 for the first time. Who you think wins? that's how ridiculous the Marquez fight was.

          and name the guys you would favor over him at 154..i want names.who at 154 would you favor over floyd?
          I don't think Floyd's cut out to fight genuine 154lb fighters. I know he beat a past prime Cotto there but MC was another fighter only stepping up, the fact Floyd was asking for a catchweight for any bout with Martinez should tell you something.

              Now that I understand what you meant, nobody would be favored over Mayweather in those weight divisions right now.

                I don't favor him, but I think Lara has good chance to upset him.

                  it's become quite clear that cotto was the best 154 had to offer. that cotto was seen as having little chance was not floyd's problem. he's the best in the division above floyd's natural weight class.

                  and if you saw the fight, cotto did some good things in there. a very good fighter lost to a great fighter.

                  for the most part he fights top fighters, the divisions just arent that good. when WW was very hot floyd was semi retired. now it's pretty bleak.

                      so you think at 147 in Mexico Jmm can beat Floyd?....and Floyd NEVER asked for a catchweight with Martinez......Martinez and Dibella suggested it
