Floyd: 'A small man will never retire me' - Mayweather-JMM @ 147

atsch

He picks career featherweight Juan Manuel Marquez, who gets pushed back by Juan Diaz and small even for a LW, AND Floyd is running his mouth in this comeback press conference that 'a small man will never retire me'?

We know Floyd, Juan Manuel Marquez is small for a welterweight, that's exactly why you picked him! BTW, you retired after your last fight vs. small man, so it sounds even more absurd.



The last time a lightweight fighter went up to fight a PRIME welterweight, he got BADLY beat up. His name was Diego Corrales, and the opponent was Joshua Clottey. Notice how Corrales, the taller, faster, busier and more skilled fighter is being overwhelmed by the 2 divisions stronger fighter. We have divisions for a reason, and that's fighters' protection from unnecessary disadvantages.

The build-up will be absolutely surreal.

"I picked JMM because blah blah p4p blah blah called me out blah blah"

...

"I'll never let a small boy beat me, he's just too damn small and will know how a REAL WW fights" atsch

 

Hopkins: MW, LHW champ. Resume: Jones, MW to HW champ, Glen Johnson: MW to CW, LHW champ. Tito: WW to LHW, MW champ, DLH: SFW to MW champ. Taylor: top MW contender, MW champ, top SMW contender. Winky: LMW champ, should've been awarded the MW title. Tarver: LHW champ. Calzaghe: SMW, LHW champ. Pavlik: MW champ, beat Taylor at SMW. There are only 2 guys who once were WWs, and both were MW champions when Hopkins fought them. In fact, he becaume undisputed when he beat Tito, and the all-4-title-holder when he beat Oscar. They were the champs to beat. Beating Berto (WBC), Mosley (WBA), Cotto (WBO) and Clottey (IBF) would be the same for Mayweather.

Now what?
