    True but I honestly think he feels he won't even be competitive at 147.

    at least we already saw pac fought at 147 and still has his agility and speed... and the size difference ain't really that big.

    this fight would be an event!

    That's why it's looked at as a tune-up.

    Also, many people said the same about DLH before he stepped in the ring with Pac. People ought to take notes for once.

    This might hurt other people's feelings but i do believe that floyd looks at this fight just as a tune up.

    That's my point, when he called out Mayweather he KNEW like the rest of the world that Mayweather is a 147lb fighter. Why call him out and waste everyone's time?, he probably thought he'll call Mayweather out and get no response then get poor recognition which many newbies will proudly follow, "Not just PAC, but MAYWEATHER also ducked me!".

    Now that it got hot he's shitting his pants and coming up with weird ass demands, if it was money then sure but weight?!, he knew the man's weight before calling him out.

    Don't talk **** if you can't back it up. He's no Pacquiao. :smoke

    Didn't his team already say that they will take one tune-up and on regular HBO(not PPV) before a fight with Pac?

    This looks like their selection.

    Pac's performance at 147 makes a fight with Mayweather 50/50 in my eyes.

    Well if the fights a tune up I wouldn't like all my tune up fights to be JMM, who seems to be hitting his peak.

    So you're telling me "You're a boxing fan" in your own ******ed way as an insult? :huh

    Yeah I enjoy watching both fighters like you enjoy hopping from one thread to another posting absolute rubbish with zero points worth reading regarding the sport.

    The p4p #2 boxer in the world is not a tune up for anybody. If JMM was a can than Floyd can make him jump through hoops. But come the **** on. If you respond to a lightweight calling you out, you know you have to meet in between. That is only common sense. What the hell would JMM benefit from fighting Floyd at 147? He is a ****ing champion.

    I think 140 is fair. JMM is significantly the smaller man in the ring...it's going to be very, very difficult for him to even handle Mayweather's power at that weight, even though Floyd isn't a huge puncher.

    JMM could possibly win this if he was a little bigger, but I'm really not sure he has the size to make this as competitive as it should be.

    i say 40/50 floyd...

    pac always have trouble with technical boxers. I think pac's chances depends on floyds physical and mental state when he comes back inside the ring.
