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

[AVDB]

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...

Canelo coming in at 153 for Trout is his prerogative. The belt is for 154 lbs he should've at least had the option to come in at that weight.

Coming in at 152, err I mean 154 is impressive enough but he doesn't deserve to be praised for fighting at welter as if he could make jww. He comes in at 147 "with such ease" my ass, he wouldn't be able to make 140 if he tried. He's there because he has to be.

Because he's at the top of the totem pole. He's the #1 p4p fighter in boxing, the #1 PPV star, and no one (except Pacquiao, maybe Bradley) has a good enough chance to defeat him at welter. He fights for money and most people pay in hopes of seeing him lose, if the illusion isn't there, his PPV buys will drop (see Guerrero or wait for Khan fight).

People want to see him move up to middle for two reasons. 1) like the above, ppl want him to lose, even if it's through sheer size and/or 2) to see a skilled fighter pushing himself to his limits so we can see just how good he is. What he would gain both monetarily and in legacy would well be worth it

The same ones who say that, get defensive if you mention Ward. Even though 160 is closer to 168 than 147.

Another Floyd fan trying to wash his hands of his 2x, lineal, unified, reigning champ status at SWW. Why does he have to be called out by a legit threat for his fans to admit he's a sham of a champ in his 5th division, despite the credentials?

He should be the one fighting Martinez in May not Cotto

Miguel Cotto 5'7
Floyd Mayweather 5'8

He should be the one fighting Martinez in May not Cotto

Miguel Cotto 5'7
Floyd Mayweather 5'8

Shouldn't be either of them

Should be Caballero.

Celestino Caballero 5'11

Well he should be fighting them at 160 if he really wants to show us how good he is, but we will settle for 154.

No one asked Canelo for a CW, not even old SSM so Floyd embarrassed himself. So he needs to make up for it, also to make up for all his career breaks and taking it easy whilst his peers earnt their living as prizefighters.

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

It's OK to have a few and that was fine but he has continued since then right? Why not challenge yourself? Why Larry not making threads about that?

Look, Khan who has never fought at the full WW weight is high on his list of potential fighters for May and would be if not for the backlash. So it's funny that this topic is even raised. Those guys, GGG and Martinez will be the ones who will have trouble with weight, yes, but that is NOT Larryxxx's real concern. Larryxxx's real concern is the threat of FLoyd fighting a riskier fight, as he has discussed in other threads. So that is why you can't take this thread seriously!

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

It's amazing how they don't want to call manny a duck but they do it to Floyd all day. The double standards here are amazing.

[Jack Napier]

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

fuck Floyd fighting Martinez or GGG a 154
GGG and Martinez need to fight each other at 160
if Floyn needs to fight anybody at 154, it's Lara
and he doesn't need to do that since there's opponents at 147
you're making up a reason to whine Larryx
