Leonard Ellerbe: Floyd Mayweather fight announcement expected within days

What? Floyd has been the smaller man since he moved up to 147. LMAO what alternate reality are you living in?

Really? He dragged both Hatton and JMM up from lighter weight classes.

Really? He dragged both Hatton and JMM up from lighter weight classes.

Hatton ran around saying he could beat Floyd and saying he was scarred of him was Floyd supposed to move down in weight as the A-side to fight both of them. Marquez moved up in weight to get Manny to fight him again and he thought beating Floyd would make him get the rematch. Not knowing losing the way he did got him the rematch.

Indeed, Hatton wanted the fight at 140 and then asked Mayweather for a catchweight, Mayweather refused.

According to his father and uncle Floyd can still make 140 today, but best believe he wouldn't fight Marquez anywhere under 147.

I know Floyd Sr has said it, but when did Roger say it? Not saying it's not true, but I don't recall him saying it. Do you have a source?

And I'm sure you know full well that there is absolutely no way Mayweather can make 140 comfortably.

So again Floyd was supposed to give into Hatton demands to fight at 140 then he might s well fought him in Manchester also. Marquez probaly thought Floyd hadn't fought in almost two years no way he would beat him.

I was just responding to someone who stated that Floyd was always the smaller man since moving to 147 which is false.

1. Hatton was running his mouth about wanting the Floyd fight, he should be willing to fight Floyd at WW .. and asking for a catchweight is straight up cowardly on Ricky's part just fight the dude at WW

2. Floyd wouldn't fight JMM under 147? yet the Marquez-Mayweather bout was fought at a contracted weight if 144 if I'm not mistaken, yes Floyd came in at 146, 2 lbs over the contracted limit, but still under the Welterweight max

[thuggery]

Still waiting for this announcement.
