POLL: Is Floyd Mayweather Jr too small for middleweight?

[Tom Cruise]

I think he should stay at 154lbs, though i think he is a natural welterweight.

The reason being that he just too good in this era to be fighting guys his own size, and i want fights were there is the potential for him to lose.

MW though is a step too far, at least the top of the division is. Like others have said whats the point in moving up to fight bums?

Having said that it was only last week that i crapped myself on a ferris wheel.

Any fighter who weighs 150 on fight night at JMW shoukd not be a middleweight.

yes, yes, yes, yes, and uhh.....YES....the idea of a man who just weighed in at 151lbs and then weighed LESS on fight night is just asinine...

at the age of 36 Floyd has grown himself into a natural welter AT BEST...and could still EASILY go back down to 140 and probably start knocking people out again..

when Floyd first starting fighting at 147 all you haters could say was he cant punch enough to hurt a welter weight...and now you want him to head on up and fight at 160 against guys that probably walk around at 185lbs!? come on...

He could beat some middleweights, but obviously he isn't anything close to one. If he wants to end his career on some huge exclamation point, he would go for a title at 160. He could weigh in at 155, lose whatever weight he wanted, and be too good for a lot of fighters.

He cannot go back down to 140. No more than Alvarez can go back down to welterweight.

Floyd is a natural welterweight but fighting and winning the middleweight belt would put him in the echelon of the rarest of the rare or the top 10 of all time with Hank Armstrong and Sugar Ray Robinson. In 1938, Hank Armstrong won the welterweight title as a featherweight just to prove he could hold all three titles at three different weights at the same time.

Mayweather has said that he doesn't like loosing water weight and that's why he came in high for the Marquez fight.

If he walks around at 150-153 and can't loose the water weight to get down to 140 then he is already dehydrated plus he should have died awhile ago from the super high blood pressure, it's common sense.

Way to small for 160
