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

    How about YOU tell me an example where a guy makes a career at a certain weight and after years he goes down and fights successfully at a lower weight?
    Anthony Mundine and Miguel Vasquez are two examples, there are plenty more if you look for them.

    Edit: Keith Thurman is another who seems to be doing pretty well moving down from LMW.

      Ok Larry them why was he willing to fight a lightweight at WW? So Floyd can bring a fighter up two weight classes but he isn't willing to fight someone who wants to fight him at a weight class where he owns a belt?

        Even if this were not the case it has nothing to do with Floyd not willing to fight willing challengers in a weight class he is the champion of, if they make 154 and are drained well that is their fault for doing something they shouldn't have for a payday and its no an excuse just like Ward gets full credit from me for beating Dawson.

            Why not? He said hes the best ever and no one else is left at 147 except Bradley and Pac.

              Lmao dude anthony mundine fights at a D- level come on now I thought it was implied (since we are talking about the elite leve fighters) that examples where people fighting Australian bums were excluded.

              As far as Vazquez, he started at a higher weight class but he is still a career lightweight, every major fight he's been has been at 135 bro.

              Keith Thurman has faced good competition at 147 only so keep trying.

              Might as well name bradley and every other fighter who began their career at a weight had a few fights and established themselves at a lower weight class..

                  Larry, immediately after that fight he went back down 2 weight classes to fight Diaz and officially weighed in at 133, he is a LW.
