    I dont even want floyd to come back to be honest....

    he just slows everything down.... i dont know how many people honestly want to see him fight marquez... then obviously go on to fight the winner of pac vs hatton

    Assuming if negotiations fall through. I want PBF to take it at 140... JMM is already moving up one and I wanna see how that boy fairs to a new weight class. I don't want PBF trying to get more of an already established advantage with a somewhat handicapped JMM to elevate his name.

    People want to see him lose. Lots of people still think he ducked people etc.

    Well if thats true then Floyd is being a ***** because he could still make 140 but he is trying to get a guy go up 2 whole divisions from what he has been fighting at when in reality he is a 130 fighter at heart.

    If it is true it doesnt surprise me at all with Mayweather.

    ducking or not tho.... theres a lot of great stuff going on in boxing and i just hate how floyd just comes and goes... i mean if he wanted a long layoff why didnt he just say so... he claims retirement and all this other stuff.. its just annoying

    How do you know he can make 140?, are you a part of his team?

    I can see where your hate is coming from by just looking at your location. :smoke

    He should fight him at a catch weight 143. To be honest I actually think he should fight him at 140.

    When he retired he made it clear in many different interviews that they can also consider it a much needed long break.

    If Floyd wants to fight at 147 then fight Cotto/Mosely etc.

    A bit over defensive. Why couldn't Floyd make 140?
