Comments Thread For: Fighting Words: Should Floyd Face the Best of 154, 160?

[DLT]

Floyd showed his weight his whole career. Look it up. He showed it every fight until Oscar. Oscar was the only guy in the sport who never showed his weight so when Floyd foguht him, he did the same thing. Since then I dont think Floyd cared about showing it. Its no agenda. One time HBO even said that Floyd is mad at them abbout something else so he wont let them in to weiggt him.

However, he did do it again in one recent fight which was Ortiz. Ortiz was 165 I believe and Floyd was 150. Look it up. Then against Ghost he's 148 at the 30 day weigh-in. He's not big

[HeroBando]

again, comparing the 2 is night & day. Come on man, its not the same. Floyd can fight a ton of 170 plus pound guys right now also. It doesnt make them Canelo

Well he should. he'd get more credit for Trout, Lara, Molina and Andrade than for Alexander, Khan, Gracia and Maidana.

lol how much is he going to put on by September?

Flomos need to stop crying about weight, Manny Pacquiao at 148lbs took on Antonio Margarito at 165lbs with no complaints.

Well....bully for him.

[DLT]

Yes, Margarito was 165 and Pacquiao 148. Margarito is also 5'11 tall compared to 5'6 Pacquiao.

I have no real issue with Floyd saying Canelo is too big. If he's too big, then say he's too big and vacate the belt. Don't try to force him down or put up roadblocks.

we dont know if thats what happend and even if it did happen, why do you call it force? Canelo can say NO? Its no different then Dawson-Ward. Dawson could say NO. If Canelo says No then Floyd can just say he's too big or so on and so on.

You are in the minority in saying its ok. Most say its not and that Floyd is a coward if he doesnt fight him

He was 150 on the fight-night scale for Ortiz at 147. He was 150 on weigh-in for DLH, and 151 on weigh-in for Cotto, both fights at 154. What 'benefit of the doubt' do you need? Dude is a small a$$ welter, and a tiny a$$ JMW.

Exactly. They showed fight night weights for every fight on that card except Floyd's. He's about the only guy in the sport that makes a point of skipping next day weighin, and he deserves the benefit on the doubt on weight? GTFO

[DLT]

Well he should. he'd get more credit for Trout, Lara, Molina and Andrade than for Alexander, Khan, Gracia and Maidana.

ofcourse he'd get more credit. Just like all those guys you named would get more credit for fighting Triple G or Ward but you arent demanding that or calling them cowards if they dont

He stepped on the unofficial scale 1 time since 2007. What point is he trying to prove?

Common thread: all Ring/ESPN/BS ranked super welters.

It's different to Dawson in that Ward didn't hold a belt at 175. If Mayweather doesn't want to fight at 154, he should say they're too big and vacate the belt.

Well....bully for him.

I'm just making the point fight night weight is not the be-all and end all.

People need to stop speculating on the catchweight thing all u have is canelos trainers word and its not like its signed so relax. And how many guys fight at their walk around weight. Then get criticized for wanting to fight in a more comfortable weight class?
