    Why do some posters keep saying Floyd should fight GGG or Martinez at 154?

    Hell he got crucified for fighting Canelo who fights at 154 at 152...so why would he fight a middleweight at 154?? fight would mean nothing and people would just say they were drained which they would be

    If they are willing to come down to that weight voluntarily then what's the big deal? Both have said they would so why not fight them? Martinez and GGG are both more dangerous the Canelo ever was.

        Because Floyd isn't going to fight the 'midget' and we are tired of seeing Guerreros fight 'the best fighter in the sport'

        We want Floyd to prove he is the best against the best fighters available. If Gennady and Sergio offer to fight Floyd at 154 then why not?

        Oh wait Sergio said he would fight at 154 then Floyd said 150

          No **** right? Except Canelo did go down 2lbs voluntarily (1lb less than his previous fight with Trout) When was the last time GGG or Martinez ever fought at 154. There's a vid where Martinez claims he would have to cut off a leg to make 154...

          Besides, why is Floyd the only one held to that standard? He makes 147 with such ease and comes in really light for fights at 154 yet they want to him to fight middleweights lmao...

            I agree with you Larry.

            Floyd's bigger than Marquez.

            Pacquaio same size as Marquez.

            Pacquaio same size as Floyd.

            Pacquaio too small for ggg.

            Floyd same size as ggg.

            which one is it????? Which one is it????

              Why not and @ 152 - 154 lbs which Floyd has a belt, it's a good fight, right Larry?

              Both (GGG and Martinez) are more than willing to go south in weight to secure a fight with Floyd.

                  He is the SWW champion if they are challengers who people want to see him fight and are willing to make 154 to get the fight he has no excuse not to.

                    You're not a middleweight if you weigh-in at 154, you are whatever weight you weigh-in at.

                    Saying "middleweight at 154" is saying "waah waaaahh wahahh, he's too big for my Floydie", when in reality boxing works on weight classes, if you can make the weight you can fight.
