    Okay, so you want to continue with the discourse. Fine.

    I find it highly ironic that you are asking me to get over the weight issue when you're the one complaining about it. Floyd whupped his ass. There is absolutely nothing for me to "get over". I am simply stating the reality of someone having a weight advantage that is the equivalent of two weight classes and having people complain that the weight was a disadvantage to him. Thaaat's ******ed.

    Floyd was wrong in not honoring the 144lb catchweight against JMM, but the 146 was hardly any less a catchweight than the 152 was for Canelo; it was an acknowledgment that a bigger fighter was fighting a smaller fighter.

    I am pretty sure that Floyd cared about Oscar weighing 154 as he attempted to negotiate down to 147. Is this new information to you? Floyd was simply in no bargaining position to make any demands and so went out and did what he had to do. Oscar chose the weight, the ring size, the gloves, etc, but Floyd didn't ***** about it.

    Oscar's size bothered him in that fight. No question. Floyd was the much smaller man in the ring because he is NOT a JMW. Sorry.

    :lol: They were fighting for Oscar's JrMW title. Yet you say Floyd wanted it at 147? There's nothing 'ironic' about what I posted. And you just don't get it FFS. Don't fight at JrMW if you are NOT a JrMW, as you state. No one forced Floyd to do anything. No one forced him to move to 154 SEVERAL TIMES.

    Bigger vs smaller happens ALL The time in boxing. That's a rehydration issue. Or the problem of the guy moving up. Floyd is allowed to gain as much weight after the weigh in as everyone else. But here's the catch, if he's too tiny, don't f'n move up. Simple as that. Don't be a champ of a division if you are going to NOT fight at the allowable limit. Simple as that.

    Freakin apologists are the worst...

    You are being wilfully obtuse for the sake of arguing. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a reigning welterweight champ at the time the DLH fight was made. He was willing to put HIS titles on the line, as he did not prefer to fight DLH at 154. That was just one of the concessions he made to secure the fight. The information is out there, but you seem to have developed some fixation about me putting you over my knee.

    Run along, kid.

    :lol: chill out dude. We're just discussing stuff. Why get all b!tchy??

    Here's the jist...little tiny Floyd could have said no, not a JrMW. Instead he's a three time JRMW champ who can't weigh in at the JrMW limit. He's a f'n Diva... As are ANY who try to pull this 'Can't weigh in at the allowed limits for a title fight' pansies.

    But I would not expect any less from an apologist Floyd fanboy.
