    Mayweather is not coming back to fight any cupcakes and if you say JMM is a cupcake then theres nothing I can do for you

    Cupcake for a top welterweight, yes. Which PBF is....

    He could go and fight Collazo, Berto, someone of that ilk, but noooo, he'd rather fool yet more morons into thinking he's taking the toughest challenges.

    And that still means " low probability of making a big paycheck."
    :huh

    Would surely be one of his biggest paycheck. Why do you think he wants Floyd (as anyone whants him)?

    I said this in another thread if JMM is determined to fight at 140, why not fight bradley, which will leave floyd to fight at WW, maybe against mosely. If mosely wanted the fight.

    Collazo, Berto??? you cant be serious, over JMM?? Man I said no cupcakes. Look All Mayweather wanted to do is fight the winner of Pacquaio-Hatton, thats it. but JMM wants to open his fat mouth, then he can get spanked then. Does anybody really think that DLH was gonna come down to 147 to fight Mayweather?? Mayweather called him out and DLH said then come to 154, Mayweather said I dont care what weight the fight is at im gonna beat you anyways so he took the fight. I dont think JMM actually thinks he can beat Mayweather, talk about a wuss.

    Mosley called out DLH too but DLHG said if you want the fight then come up to 147, Mosley said no problem because I'll beat you anyways and he did. Its not really about weight, whos the better boxer period. Mayweather!!

    I always see JMM as a smaller version of Hopkins. People think JMM has not business in the higher weights simply because he only recently went up in weight.

    The fact is that JMM has long been overstaying at 126 lbs. Even during the time when Barrera, Morales were 118/122 lbrs, when Pac was 112 lbr, JMM was already a full fledged 126 lbr.

    JMM is a big guy, you can clearly see he was bigger than Pac and MAB in terms of body frame. Heck he even has bigger head than Pacquiao, that alone should tell a lot :lol:

    When they stand next to each other, JMM will probably look bigger than Floyd.

    I have no doubt that JMM can fight well at 147, in the same way that Hopkins went up to 175 lbs and dominated there.

    You honestly think JMM, fighting FOUR weight classes above is own, would be better than Berto or Collazo?

    He was getting rocked at 135 by featherfisted Juan Diaz. PBF would kill him easier than he did Gatti at 140 let alone 147.

    so all Williams has to do is call out Mayweather and Floyd has to fight him at 147? This calling out thing is overrated. Mayweather was the guy to beat, but really Floyd is overrated.

    1) your 100% correct he did call the man out~ He knows where Floyd has been fighting at

    2) Mayweather Jr is the draw, However Marquez is also a draw and that shouldnt be over looked Marquez will fill seats Mayweather will sell PPVs

    3) He does have more to gain from a win than Mayweather does But Mayweather wants a pacquiao fight, so a big win over Marquez makes the fight a bit interesting if it should happen.

    4) Pac did fight Oscar at 147 but we are talking about Juan and not Manny

    5) He will lose the fight no doubt and will probably lose the fight quickly, so I guess a good meal will serve him well.
