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

      Dude Chad fought at 168, then three years later you joined the forum...


      Shouldn't it bee JMM's fault for trying to get a payday and by your own logic FM should get credit for beating Juan?

        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..
        You shouldn't ask questions if you can't handle the answers. There are more examples, but you'd attempt the same thing so I won't bother.

          Sure its his fault but why is the best fighter at WW bringing up the LW champion, its not really comparable when Ward fought the champion in the next division up who was willing to move down......it was far more risky on his part.

            I gave you the reasons why those examples are horrible and not even related in any way to the scenario I asked for. Go ahead name some more.

              It's absolutely ridiculous to demand these fights for Mayweather if they haven't even proven they can make 154. Let them prove they're the same fighter and I'd love to ask for this. Of course, neither will do so because they only want the payday, not to prove anything.

              If Mayweather's going to fight either, do it at middleweight or don't do it at all.

                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
                Sergio said he would drop to 150 for Pacquiao, then Pacquiao said drop to 147. You're response to that is?.......

                  Every single person in the forum KNOWS the fight had nothing to do with legacy or a spot at a p4p list. Floyd had been off the ring for two years and if I remember correctly he fought #3 p4p fighter after that. Given that JMM was in everyone's p4p list. Pacquiao was out for a year and who did he fight?

                    No, because you can't accept it. I could give you 5 more names and you'd try to find a 'but' because it doesn't fit your narrative. Twist with someone else.
