    Mayweather Jr. is absolutely a full Welterweight. The evidence says nothing otherwise.

    No, he who has a Mayweather avatar can tell me why he is NOT a full Welterweight. Tell me why the guy who was clearly bigger and harder hitting than natural 140 pounder Ricky Hatton, and the guy who buckled Oscar De La Hoya like an accordion with a single right hand at north of 150, is not a full Welterweight.

    If you want to compare Mayweather to Hatton (even though they were nearly identical in size. Let's compare him to rest of the top 10 WWs.

    Mayweather is small compared to every welterweight in the top 10. He is outweighed by most Jr WWs on fight night.

    Hatton also weighed more than Floyd.

    Walk around weight is nothing.

    Hatton walks around near 200lbs.

    Is he a LHW?

    :lol: nah, actually i do give him props from what he did 140 on down especially when he gave jlc the rematch especially, but ever since cotto came into the picture, what floyd should of been doing cotto has been doing it instead, being a natural 140lber and taking on the elite at 147, so i don't see there should be room for any excuses on floyd's part for not doing the same, but money talks, so he chose the bling instead of respect. sacrificed one for the other

    He's only self promoted for 3 fights. Everything else was under Arum.

    What's the agenda, Mayweather fan? Are you trying to justify this Marquez JOKE of a fight??

    Hopkins was outweighed by most Middleweights on fight night. Was he not a true Middleweight? There's a monumental difference between carrying weight, and carrying weight naturally. I see you're going to duck the FACT that Mayweather was clearly bigger, more powerful, and harder hitting than Hatton, and try and mention - what? That Hatton weighed more than Mayweather? Where are you getting that from? The weights weren't released. Hatton weighed in two pounds lighter. Where is the PROOF of how much they weighed on the night?? REGARDLESS, the FACTS speak for themselves.

    Hopkins was not heavily outweighed like Mayweather is compared to the WWs.


    Hatton told his weight in a conference call. Im looking for the transcript. He says he weighed 154.

    I think the key thing for this fight, again, is obviously, you know, how, what weight I weigh in at, which will obviously be 10 (ph) seven (ph), but if this were a day when I leave the scales, you know, as I mentioned earlier in Luis Collazo, I came in too heavy, which enabled me to be very sluggish and slow and ponderous (ph), and, you know, and that was my downfall against Luis Collazo instead of coming in at 10 stone 12 pounds, I came in at 11 stone seven, you know, and that resulted in a poor performance. So I think the key could be, you know, me being a lot more energy because obviously I don't have to struggle down to 140. I'm coming in the weight that I do perform best at. And I, you know, I think I've been the Energizer bunny come December 8th. I don't, I just don't see, I don't think tiredness will be an issue. And Floyd Mayweather, if he doesn't knock me out, he isn't going to out point me. And that's the way I see it. But me training is all geared around me opponent.

    Hatton said he's coming at 140 weight.

    I guess he likes to lie.

    You call tell he was lighter. He didnt' look as stocky against Mayweather as he did against Collazo.

    OK..... So the PROOF to back up your claim that "Hatton weighed more than Floyd" is this? This?? Your PROOF is Hatton's own words MONTHS before the fight even took place, which imply HEAVILY that Mayweather IN FACT WEIGHED MORE THAN HATTON, proving you are a LIAR. Nice one.
