Why are ppl so naive on Floyd's possible opponents

[DLT]

you guys are using the fact that he weighs 150 on fight to negate the fact he is the light middleweight champion and that the light welterweight champion is not a viable opponent. Is he 150 and fighting at 140? no. He is 150 and ****in nigz up at 154. In fact hes the mothaf0ckin champ and 154. Bein the champ and titz at 54, should he not accept all challengers at that weight? Or should he use the fact that he is rlly 150 so he shouldn't have to, and then fight guys that fight at 140 instead? Listen I don't care if you weigh in 25 more pounds on fight night cuz hey guess what, they each have some pros and cons.. you think draining 15 pounds doesn't take anything out of a fighter, as appose to a fighter who is naturally at that weight? There is two opinions on the matter of cutting weight. The fact is Garcia is fighting at 140 and not 154. Why? cuz his ass will get ****ed up if he goes up higher. Floyd is at 154 cut the bull**** about cutting weight. If you can make weight your good, you had to make the sacrifice to lose the weight and drain your body that way. So for those saying it would be fair for him to take on the people who are more natural 154 pounders as appose to those who have drain themselves to make weight.. f0ck outa here with that nonsense. The man is the 154 champ, there are 5 ppl I mentioned who would give him a much, much better fight than ****ty ass danny garcia and beaten by flab miadana.

if it were that bad then 95% of the guys in boxing wouldnt be trying to do it. They pretty much all try to get low in weight to have the advantage and alot of guys try to get really low like Rios. So big that they pound you in the ground. Shoot, Canelo & Trout were 173 & 172 when they fought eachother. Meeting these guys in person compared to Floyd is night & day physically. Now go meet Floyd & Garcia and tell me what you think. Garcia is bigger

Sure he might be bigger in some ways, but who knows about the density to his muscles? Maybe with floyds body type, draining himself wouldn't be as effective. since he does not try to simply over power his opponents. Like Floyd says its not a weight lifting comp it is boxing. Maybe those other people, just don't have the discipline or genetics to walk around at their fight weight. Maybe if you can actually do that your body is actually stronger for that weight? Maybe hes actually winning and not being overpowered so they don't have that big of an advantage.

1. Floyd isnt a 154 fighter,, he goes there and cant even break past 151 let alone near the weight limit..

2. he only goes to 154 for huge names like oscar, cotto, canelo,,, Lara, GGG, and even serg dont command a fan base big enough to make the fight worth the risk

3. Floyd is a welter and should fight welters or guys near there,,, Garcia, bradley, manny, maidana, etc

4. Its not floyd's fault he is so much better than anyone in his weight class,,, Its the same with the klitchkos.. You cant penalize a guy just because he clearly better than anyone around,,,

True he is that good, thats why he actually needs to challenge himself and give the people paying him (viewers) a fight worth watching that wont be a shut out.

So you want Floyd to go to 160 to test your theory, at that weight clashes would be giving up 20-25lbs fight night for what he doesn't need to put himself at such a disadvantage to be considered TBE!

ok, i get that, but floyd shouldnt have to go up and chase monsters at the higher weight classes like ggg, serg, lara, etc....

Its like having wlad fight a bear or lion, just because he has handled all the heavy contenders

More like 147.. People on this site man

[Vasyl’s dad]

floyd is basically a 150lb fighter...thats what he walks around at and usually weights when he fights at 154 on fight night.....so hes tied to 147 and 154....its not that hard for those 140lbs to realistically come up to 147....its not out of the question......trout is out the window.....GGG, lara, and martinez are viable.....but really...GGG has nothing on his resume to suggest he should get the payday or the fight....hes simply wishful thinking by those tantalized to see it....martinez would get beat....lara would be interesting...but has no fan base......

What was on Guerrero and Ortiz and Marquez and Hat tons resume?

Floyd has nothing else to prove.

No I want him to stay at 154 and have him face the people that are willing to fight him. He doesn't need to go up in weight to fight them, they will come down to him.

It is pretty much a law of the internet that if someone has master/genius/pro/expert in their username, they're almost always a total ******.
