Floyd & 154 & Politics

[Hands of Iron]

What is it with fans trying to negotiate fights for fighters? Has Mayweather even spoke about the fight? Everyone and their uncle said Mayweather would NEVER fight Mosley after Mosley jumped into the ring after the Marquez fight.

Then we didn't hear a peep from him or his plans, then out of the blue, Mosley fight is on. Give them some time to work out details. Fans are crazy he fought like 2 weeks ago

After all the hysteria and overreaction from last week, I feel confident he's taking the fight now. Just a matter of time.

I feel you on the skill size I think he still wins and wants him to fight him but even though Marquez jumped up 2 weight classes on fight night him and floyd were only about 3 pounds different. But I get what you mean I want him to take the fight to simply show you know what I'm so good I can beat this guy who outweighs me by 22 pounds and is 14 years younger than me.

WTF? JMM said 20lbs. How do we know what the truth was? If only Floyd would step on the same day scale.

I didn't say Canelo wouldn't have a weight advantage. However when it came top Floyd/Marquez, many of Floyd fans claimed the size didn't win Floyd the fight it was skill. So why can't Floyd's skill win him the fight against Canelo?? Too much excuses for the supposed generations greatest and pfp king. Not mine, but the majority of people list.

He missed the weight by 2 pounds and he never balloons up to much after weigh in so that rumor of him being 160 is bs Marquez has never said it was the weight that made him lose it was skill.

but as for having a damn near twenty pound advantage isn't cool if he can make a clause that he can only rehydrate to 165 then the fight should take place.

I agree. Especially if the numbers were less than stellar, he might be being pressured a little bit more to make a superfight.

As long as Mares is on the undercard

my thread was about the money team, not just floyd in particular, this isnt right... someone should reverse the mod decision and put me back into green for being unfairly treated when i see people making new floyd threads every day

You showed you own hypocrisy in side stepping the Marquez issue, he outweighed a fighter coming up divisions. Yet there is no outrage but he has no reason to fight the best money fight available one divison up? If he's the best prove it! That's all we ask! He made the statement Espn that he doesn't of hasn't taken fights because his legacy is in tact and that if he beats these fighters the fans and media want him to fight, they will just create another! Guess what? Reality check, yes they will! That's the game. When you are in top everyone comes for you! Like in Football, basketball or any other sport! You don't play champiship games against guys that lost in the first round of the playoffs. D-1 schools don't play junior colleges in championship games either! That's for a reason. But that's Floyd, he is the Heat wanting to play the Bobcats in the finals every year! I'm not personally asking him to concede anything to Canelo, but it's like when Oscar fought Hopkins! To make the big fights, you do what you have to! Challenge yourself to truly be the best. Stop fighting B and C level competition everyone knows your going to be when the contracts are signed! And if Canelo and Pac are easy work! Prove it! Stop saying it and prove it

Where did jmm say Floyd went up twenty pounds ? That would have made Floyd mayweather 166 lbs on fight night he woulda be a god damn LHW?

You don't actually believe Mayweather was 165 on fight night do you? and where is Marquez' source for this?

Like Bushbaby said, there are too many excuses on Floyd threads from his supporters. He can fight a guy coming up TWO weight classes but he can't go up one? Please! He's supposedly the best fighter in the world! So fight the man at 154. It's the biggest money fight available. He doesn't have arum, drug testing, or purse blocking the fight! Make the fight! Ya'll talk about Floyd and De la Hoya but if Oscar was anything like Floyd, Floyd would never have gotten his shot at the PPV king because anything that seems like a challenge doesn't seem to Interest Floyd. Oscar fought in and made the biggest fights out there when he was on top! Floyd gives you Guerro! That's a joke

They will fight at 154; but who's a challenge and why

Yeah, even Oscar is coming out publicly expressing confidence, and he hadn't really said one peep about it. Mares next couple opponents are probably going to be a little disappointing. The fights are with Top Rank, and LSC and Russell Jr aren't any more ready than they were a couple weeks ago. Year-plus off. John will never happen, and that's some **** too.

Do you know how much Floyd weighed? No you don't, so he could be weighed anything but since he says he never balloons up, that's fact, right? Man please. Skip the fact that the man came up two weight classes to begin with. When Floyd has all the advantages it's acceptable but when one thing goes against he has every excuse from his fans not to fight. It's comical
