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

[boliodogs]

If he beat GGG at 154 I would say it was the best victory of his life. I am an old school fan used to fighters who knew what weight they could make without hurting themselves. If GGG says he is good at 154 I believe him and would never use weight drained as an excuse if Mayweather beat him. Floyd did try to drain Canelo after saying he only fights guys at their most comfortable weight. He lied.

I don't recall Mayweather saying he'd fight Martinez at 154.

I remember in the Mosley post fight press conference when asked about Martinez he said something along the lines of "He's an option" but never specifically at 154.

Not saying it's not true but that I don't recall it.

There's definitely a video of him sayin git, saw it here or on one of the other forums. 154 he said was an option for a Martinez fight. I'd try and find the vid but feelin a bit lazy as I watch Arsenal lose

I remember mayweather saying he will consider fighting Martinez.

[Pain~Lucy]

nothing wrong with that I guess, and how about ward vs GGG at 160?

How about ward vs mayweather at 160?

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

Honestly, is this the real issue here? Or is it that you are just concerned that Floyd would lose? Be honest.

Secondly, why are you never putting up threads saying that Floyd should not be fighting Hatton, Marquez, Guerrero, Ortiz, Sharmba, Khan, ...... because they moved up to WW not Floyd moved down (at least GGG and Martinez are OK with moving down) and you guys were all OK about that even though they had just 0, 1 or 2 fights there compared to Floyd who has been fighting at those weights since 2005? Remember that this is a Floyd that is also a champ at 154 who is taking on JWWs

If he fights them, it should be at 160 because, and I don't know how many times I have to say this, but moving down a full weight class at their ages is not a good idea, especially for Martinez.

However, Floyd shouldn't be moving up to 160 because he can still fight at 147-154, and he could wind up ruining himself by weight jumping as well.

Intriguing fights but I don't see them happening.

Sharmba Mitchell was actually Floyd's first fight at 147. He fought at WW before Floyd.

If you hold a belt there than you can fight there; especially now that Floyd is older so its easier to make.

Read it and weap buddy, I'll never lie on a fighter.

Dude it doesn't matter, Pac was upfront about that 8th division being too much, unlike Floyd who's not big enough to be a good champ in his 5th but sits on the belt for a year then asks to unify at a catchweight
