  • Isn't Floyd to big for other Welterweights?

    Now Floyd is not Thomas Hearns, Ray Robinson nor Ray Leonard size.
    Although Duran did and is smaller than Floyd.

    But why aren't other WW's offer big challenges? People say that he should fight Martinez, Glovokin and even Andre Ward.

    Why aren't Cotto, Pacquiao, Broner, Marquez and others asked to take on these much bigger men?

    So my point is, Mayweather should be too big to fight the Cottos, Pacquiaos of the world.

    What's his walking around weight? He & Cotto are naturally bigger than WW's but they size down. Broner is bigger than Pacquiao & Marquez!

          Floyd is too technically sound for his competition, I think people understand this which is why they want him to be heavily outsized, or they want him to retire. Not his fault...

            3 of those guys started at or below Floyd's starting weight.

            Pac won 6 divisional belts over 9 weight classes before asking for his first CW. Floyd can't unify at his 5th without asking for one.

              You're joking right? Berto, Ortiz, Rhodes, Mosley all weigh close to 160 on fight nights yet Floyd is naturally bigger? Ever see Floyd? The guy is a legit midget. He looks about 150 soaking wet

                Thanks for everyone's input so far.

                This is kinda crazy though, sooner or later Floyd might really have to get into the ring with the Klits

                  He looked a lot bigger in the ring than Marquez, who is 150 fight night these days

                    Age, size, and punching power are not enough of a handicap when it comes to Floyd. The want 2 weight classes to really hammer in that size advantage. They want the one punch KO put into play because its hard to break Floyd down over the course of a 12 round fight.
