    That doesn't even make sense. So what if Floyd didn't weigh 140.

    He didn't have any advantage of Hatton that he wouldn't have at 140.

    Void should fight Vitali Klitschko, or at least Valouev.

    Post 1 Dummeze: You say "fight weights"

    My response: Mayorga / Pavlik

    Post 2 Dummeze: You say "compare size then"

    My response: You are moving the goal posts

    Post 3 Dummeze: Stove you are dumb because I said size as well.

    Eze you dumb ass. You abandoned your whole compare fight night weights argument. How can I be the one who thinks a Mayo win for Pav would have meaning - you are the one - or were - saying its all about fight night weights.

    We both know that its not necessarily any one thing every time. Fight night weights, the size of the men, how well they perform at the weight etc, all these things are important.

    You can fry it steam it boil it put chile on it, do a little ra ra money may dance, you can sprinkle paprika on it and tabasco, but we all know that Mayweather making JMM move up nine pounds to fight is some bull**** and if he wins it cannot be looked at as a clear, righteous and significant pound for pound victory without some serious questions.

    I was going off your stupid argument of only weights. And I said if you were going to use weights use fight night weights not weigh in weights.

    You need to compare size and weight somewhat.

    JMM and Floyd are very similar in size, lbs apart on fight night.

    Compare to that Floyd-Mosley/Cotto who are both bigger and heavier than Floyd is compared to Floyd-Marquez.

    You say Floyd only picks on smaller fighters.

    Besides Marquez fight who has been smaller than Floyd? Hatton? Please. Even if you want that feel free. You act like he's done this whole career. :patsch

    Because he challenged him at 140 and was told were not ready by his own father.

    Later Hatton called out Floyd for his titles.

    End thread. Dumbass. :hi:

    HE wouldn't fight Hatton in Manchester. I don't blame him for that. However, you are blind and dumb if you think a fighter does not gain an advantage by not having to make a smaller weight and forcing a smaller fighter to come up in weight....nine pounds.

    Paul Williams has a huge frame and may even fight again as low as welter, however, we dont' know that that frame is going to allow him to hang with full fledged top level 160 fighters.

    To ignore the disadvantage that JMM is at in this fight is to be a

    Bull****. If Floyd is so damned similar in size than lets see him make 135 the day before the fight like JMM and JMM's last two opponents. He won't do that because he is a bigger guy.

    Well truth be told I think that Pavlik diehards would wet themselves if Kelly beat Floyd. You can say what you will now, but should the fight happen you would be singing a different tune.

    Void is counting on Marquez being the smaller guy.

    No. Hattons father said they weren't ready.

    Im not ignoring it but you act like this never happens in boxing and that only Floyd does this ****. You exaggerate things. You act like Floyd is making JMM fight Wladimir Klitschko.

    where was your outrage when Floyd had to go up to 154 and meet all of Oscars demands? Where was it then?

    Again you act like this is a huge deal and Floyd is the mastermind behind this stuff, he's the first to do it. :patsch:patsch

    What you also fail to realize is this is Floyds 4th weight class.

    Marquez is at a disadvantage with weight.

    I dont see you crying about how Floyd for his past 3 fights has been out weighed by 7lbs by Hatton and 13lbs by Baldomir.

    or 10+ by DLH.

    You're a hypocrit and a hater. Simple as that.

    Why was Floyd and company fighting in negotiations to make this fight at the highest weight possible and JMM wanted to make it as low as possible?

    Eze you ought to just abandon your argument and admit that Floyd has a significant advantage and wants it that way.

    Do you honestly think JMM wanted this fight at 144?

    You keep talking about they are the same size but you know damn well Floyd has every possible advantage at 144. It is quite possible and even probable in some cases that JMM would lose to the top junior welters and welters let alone FMJ. So how significant is it?

    And speaking of sizes and people being the same size, would you say Pacquiao taking out Juan Manuel Lopez at 140 right now would be a pound for pound victory?? Lopez has a bigger frame than Pacquiao. He is taller with a longer reach. How about Linares and Gamboa? These victories would have some meaning but its not the same thing as beating a proven prime winning fighter in your own weight class and you know damn well thats the truth.
