    Pac's fight night weight back when he was campaigning at 135 were around 144/145...wasnt he 144 for JMM 2?
    There's a difference between your fighting weight and walking weight..... Seems like Floyd's walking weight is also his fighting weight tho

    Yeah Floyd could probably make 140

    He has no business at 154 except it sucks

    When Williams and prime Martinez were there Floyd was retired or on vacation

    I think he could if he used the methods of other fighters. He always comes in to the fight about what he weighs in at. So you figure he's about 149/150 he could prob just drain 9 lbs which isn't really that much compared to the 15-17lbs some guys do. (Alvarez gained about 13lbs in his last fight so 9 isn't too crazy.)

    But Mayweather doesn't do that and I respect that.

    where are the excuses pacquaio has done better then floyd in all their common opponents except marquez and floyd is natural welterweight were as manny is a natural lightweight

    floyd came over the limit vs marguez which shows he is a full blown welter tell me if their was ever a time manny came over the limit

    At WW and up Pac is 7-2 with 2 yes 2 stoppages, Money 11-0 with 3 stoppages now one of these fighters was hyped as having inhuman punching power hint he's the one with less stoppages. So the question to you is dose he have great power or is it he doesn't have the ring IQ to stop the bigger men?
