    Well? I think I read something about it being back down at Welter, which is a little suprising given DLH is the 1 pulling the strings

    OHHH and What about Delahoya-Forbes - Welter or LMW?

    I think it is awful that they are fighting a rematch, but for this fight not to be for Floyd's WW championship would be an utter disgrace.

    Oscar is responsible for bringing money to the table, hence he has more pull in negotiations, Mayweather was practically begging for a rematch to get another big payday

    Oscar will look like Emile Hirsch at the end of 'Into the Wild' if he tries to make 147lbs

    i think to get those numbers again its a given neither can do it without each other so it would be fair to say its 50/50 at this point

    Now as much as Floyd does want this payday i dont think he bends over backwards to get it like the first fight...i mean for what reason would they fight at 154 again? The first time was clearly for Oscar to have an advantage or so he thought.

    I dont know i think at this point they will be on a even playing field as far as terms cus like i said they need each other.

    Oscar is fighting at 150 for his fight with Forbes, he can make 147.

    At 150 lbs., which in theory is Light Middleweight.

    When you don't wanna fight Cotto, you got to do what you gotta do to avoid that fight at all costs.

    Oscar could be like, "Floyd, I want you to be my servant for a week or we can't fight."

    Floyd would be like......."but, but, but, An Ton Io."

    FLOYD WOULD DO IT.

    Nobody wants this, Mayweather will win again, but by a clearer margin. BORING! DLH and Mayweather are the only ones who benefit from this bollox. DLH should be looking for Vernon Forrest and Mayweather should get back to his day job of trying to Champion the Welterweight division!

    If the greatest boxer of our time, doesnt fight the elite fighters in his own division that will leave a dark cloud over Floyds 'retirement'.

    I wont be paying no ppv money for this!!:bart

    i do not agree with all this 150/164/166/170 fights we have had latley.

    if it is a light middle fight then fighters should be allowed to weigh what they want as long as it is 154 and below.

    same for super middle and light heavy fights we had between pavlik/jones/hopkins?wright/tito/taylor.

    its devaluing the divisions they are in.
