    I agree 100% in what you say. Mayweather is too small for 147 and even 154. He is nearly the only one at 135 that went up on wieght successfully, most are either still fighting a the wieghtclass or force out.

    He too his size, speed ( as you go up you slow down) and power most of all but he he still has the boxing ability to take him through and that is one of the thing that makes Mayweathe special.

    maybe someday people will say he was better than SRL.
    maybe P4P but Mayweather will never be a better WW then Lenord

      That's one thing I got to give to him. For his size, he could have stayed at lower weights like other fighters did. He surely would have dominated 135lbs probably even 140. And for a lot of obvious reasons, he could have been the all time best at those weights.

      He knows for his size when he moved up, he had to be selective with his opponents.

        I think the highest weight floyed could ever possibly win at would be midleweight but he would strugle and wouldnt be a match for the best that division would have to offer.

          Stop this talk of PBF moving up weights, like he is a show off or something. Roy Jones has already done it b4 winning a heavyweight belt and SRL won belts at 5 weights etc etc etc. Beat the proper WW champ first and only then will i be interested in who you fight at the higher weights.

            Ummmm... He did beat the WW champ (badly), so are you interested now? Roy Jones moved to HW and fought a guy who everyone knew he could beat. Its impressive, but he wasn't going to stay at HW and fight.

              yes those two did it but SRL was a bit big for WW and jumped to MW.

              Roy Jones is impressive too.

              But both gut have speed was not lost and Mayweather is concentrating on techinie mostly.

                What ever happened to his combinations?
                I mean, he was never the type to throw a 8 punch flurry, but he usually three those 3-4 punch combos all the time.
                He used no combination punching.
                If he keeps that up, someone will eventually time and catch him.
                I think he's just throwing one punch at a time because he knows he can again some of these guys. Lampley made a comment around the 5th or 6th round, saying Floyd was beating Baldomir without much effort, throwing so few punches (like 40-50 a round).

                  You need to throw unbelievable combinations when your winning and making your opponent look ****** and frustrating him.

                    There are debates about PBF v Hatton, Cotto, Margarito etc on another thread is what i really meant and i want PBF to fight these guys b4 talk of other opponents from light middle onwards.

                    Fair enough, but all i was saying is PBF moving up weights to impress people. Moving up weights doesnt impress me much, because its old hat now. Who he actually beats is more impressive to me. He would impress me more if he fought people at 147 and below who i think coiuld beat him. He needs to be showing me they cant beat him!

                      Come on man, he would still be at 140 right now if Hatton or Cotto would fight him. You think he wouldnt fight them? He would fight them in a heart beat.
