    It would be easier for them to do it than for Canelo making 152lbs, because they would not have to cut as much weight.

    But I guess you will ignore all of this again

    I didn't ignore it.

    If GGG can make 154 so easily, why isn't he fighting at 154? There's some big money fights down there for him.

    You're just taking a guess at how easily they can make 154. That's a fact that there's no way around.

    You put 2 160 fighters in a poll to fight a WW that enters the ring at 150-ish. And you wouldn't hold your fighter (who's also a WW) to the same expectations.

      Danny Garcia because Garcia is the most credible/ viable opponent, it gets no better.

        Funny thing is, they'll say that these dudes are too big for Manny, but not for Floyd. Which means, by their own admission, that Floyd is too big for Manny, so there's no reason to ask for that fight.
        Floyd is the naturally bigger fighter.

        Floyd doesn't have to eat 8000 kcals a day just to be a welterweight.

          Easily and easier than Canelo made 152lbs are two very different things

            You know that's how them double standards work.

            Apparently it's a cardinal sin to speak of WW Champions and Title holders vs Mayweather.

              Cry me a river. He's a WW just like Floyd. He fought for a vacant 154 title at 150. He needs to fight these guys, too.

              No double standards. No hypocrisy.

                He gave up that title, and that was at 150lbs.

                If Lara or anyone else can make 147lbs then Pacquiao should be willing to fight them if the are the best.

                Floyd a 154lbs guy, if anyone can make that weight and they are the best, Floyd should fight them.

                That is what real champs do.

                  How about Floyd fight his #1 mandatory named Manny Pacquiao? Or did he forget his skills and balls again at the mention of that name?

                    Cotto was able to make 147. Wonder what happened there. ZOMG DRAINED ZOMBIE.

                      Why do people think this fight is so easy to make? There's obstacles that aren't going away. Arum/Mayweather douchebaggery beef. HBO/Showtime. This isn't happening.
