    I think FMJ at this point in his career is a natural LWWT, he should never have been at WWT, he only went there to aim for history (he wanted the 5 weight thing so he had to settle in his 4th to have a better shot at his 5th)

    However, I believe LWT is his natural weight in his best yrs, he was a big SFWT.

    There is no wrong answer as long as you dont vote WWT.

    I think you are correct, and the poll has Jww winning. 140 was his best weight.

    agreed, he naturally around 140. guys margo, paul williams, or dlh, trinidad back in their heyday, are big welterwiehgt s that all have fought at 154. mayweather just moved up to get a belt at 147.

    Just because all the other WW's come in heavier than Floyd on fight night, doesnt mean Floyd's not a natural WW. All it means is that all the other WW's arent.

    Sure he is.

    If boxing still has same-day weigh ins..Floyd would be one of the few WWs around.

    Cotto..Tony..Shane..Clottey..Berto..and Margarito WOULD ALL HAVE TO MOVE UP:deal

    Yea i think he couldn't make 140, or that if he did manage to make 140 it would be detrimental.

    Its like Pac going back down to 130. He can possibly kill himself to make it but it would be detrimental.

    He wouldn't be out of place dehydrating to 140lbs and then hydrating back to around 150.

    If he's not a natural WW and is actually a JWW then what in the hell is he playing at asking a LW to jump to 144 when 140 would be his natural weight and the even playing ground for both.

    Infact, if were going by the theory that Floyd is a natural JWW, JMM at this point in his career is a natural LW, then the even playing ground would be 137.5!

    This thread is so transparent:lol:

    Smooth one guys, I'm sure some of the newbs didn't catch it and you'll soon have a new roster of ESB posters who just got into boxing believing this bull****.

    Konph shitted all over PH|LLA in this thread on rehydration. Floyd-JMM is a treu catch weight fight with 2 great fighters. Floyd wasn't a true ww before he retired, but his fighting ability enables him to fight at ww. Now Floyd could be a true ww with the time off.

    Marquez rose in weight chasing PAc, and chasing big money, and is still accused of being a little man, yet he won the title at 135 lol... Don't say Floyd is a legit ww, and cry Marquez is still a 130 lb fighter. You look stupid posting this. Marquez is oldr now, and gaining weight imo only helps him. Opinions coming from you PAc fans..., I flush your shite down the drain when you guys start talking about size lol... Pac is still a flyweight to you guys lol...
