    JMM is the man at lightweight and I assume that PBF , a guy who started out at feather can still make 140 pounds.

    I mean, JMM ain't no fk welterweight. He is not even a super lightweight. This is already gives PBF some kind of an edge, who has already fought at welter quite often. The fight should have taken place at 140, end of story.

    We should all hope this PBF gets knocked by JMM or Pacman. I mean, the guy is 31 and acts like a teenager. Talking constantly about his armani suits when millions people are losing their job due to the crisis and claiming what no one ever dare to caim, that he is greater than SRR.

    Is this really true because fightnews stated that the weight has not been decided yet?

    Maybe... although his body might have already gotten used to the welterweight limit and cutting down to 140 might be a little dangerous for him... but it's clear that the fight is taking place at welterweight so PBF can keep his size advantage.

    Oh well, he's the main draw in this fight so he dictates the terms.

    Yeah, every other site has it stated at this weight. It would be great if a stipulation was made that Marquez could come in at 140 while Floyd couldn't come in higher than 144.

    Exactly Flyod gains nothing from beating JMM at that weight, same with beating Hatton at 147. He's just adding another pointless win to his resume that will increase questions rather than get rid of them. How would he deal with a lightweight JMM? Thats definatly not a easy win
