Isn't Floyd to big for other Welterweights?

    Well then it's all assumptions until he takes action and actually makes the weight; campaigns there. His words are as useless as Martinez's, it becomes a mockery, and I'm glad writers are sensible enough not to touch on the topic because it's really a circus act when the consensus is, Mayweather is a WW and Golovkin a MW.

      Imagine that you will be repeating this exact same post to the exact same person at some point(s) or another.

        He's got a giant bag filled with feathers, and he ain't afraid to throw them. I think we're fueled by the hope that maybe, jus' maybe...he'll get it. The scariest part is when your oblivious to the fact that he may be pulling your leg.

          I don't expect Welterweights to fight career MW's though. I don't expect any Welterweight's who aren't full time Jr MW's to fight career MW's unless that career MW moves down in weight and into position.

          As for the belt, I don't like people fighting for belts at Catchweight's. It's not new to the sport and something that's always going to happen but it's not something I like or have I ever liked.

          That said, this fight isn't about the belt. This fight is bigger than the "belts" so I'll brush aside my distaste for the belts being on the line considering it's the best fight in Boxing.

          It's really irrelevant because as soon as the fights over, Mayweather will head straight back down to his actual divison, Welterweight.
          But you better believe he's packing his SWW belts with him lol.

          I do find it interesting you see 2 classes of champs, regular champs, and guys that moved up from way below. To me a champ is a champ, unless it's a paper champ, no celebrity circuit. I understand stepping into a weightclass and requesting a CW, but these selective CWs are bull****.

          2x, soon unified, lineal, that's a whale of a paper champ.

            So in your mind, Floyd is a SWW paper champ? Why didn't you say so earlier, why do I have to squeeze it out of you?

            Again, I wouldn't expect a paper SWW champ to face GGG. We got no quarrel.

              Size advantage has many facets besides the leaning and mauling, some of which came into play:

              superior length, keeping out of reach
              not feeling the smaller guy's punches
              having your opponent feel your punches more, being used to smaller guys punches
              having an opponent that's bloated and slow, gaining weight eating tacos and throwing rocks
              If Marquez was bloated for Floyd he was bloated for every fight before 2010

                I don't get that logic. But don't sweat the logic, most people can use their eyes and see the flab

                  His reach is like for someone 1/2 foot bigger than him, he almost always has the reach advantage.

                      Normally he puts on all that water weight. This was no water weight, you could see the flab at the weighin. I guess everybody noticed except this alt
