    Floyd could do it at 140 with ease...if he walks around at 150lbs outta camp than there's no reason why he cant make 140...RICKY WALKS AROUND ABOUT 170-175 OUTTA CAMP AND HE MAKES 140!!!

    Something to do with Floyds in fighting shape all year round, Hatton gets fat.

    Zab is or was at a time in his career an ELITE level fighter. He never had the BIG fight that he won but he still has a **** load of credentials backing his legacy. Like I said....its not the best but it's VERY SOLID to say the least. A muti division Champ and winning World titles numerous times is nothing easy. My point is there are lesser professionals who are in the Hall...ones that don't have the skills, talent or resume that Zab has. So no matter what, he'll be in the Hall one day which is for sure. Zab will be remember for his talent...and not living up to his potential. He'll never be an ATG but his talent was enough to give him a pretty strong boxing career.

    PBF's more skillful & smart. Pacs more explosive & powerful p4p.
    Pacquiao because I love his aggression.

    PBF may walk around @ 150lb but his bodyfat percentage is gonna be low. Hatton becomes a little fatty.

    Thats just it, his walk around weight IS his fighting weight. Hence what I mean when I say he's in fighting shape all year round. Guys like Pac & Hatton get overweight in between fights, just look at their faces, its gets round. PBF always looks like he's ready to jump in the ring, same as Hopkins.

    Pac has the superior resume especially when you factor in his naturally smaller frame, which you must. PBF needs to fight him (and win) to change that. These discussions were going on as far back as 2005/ 2006 and it was close then so now Pac has surpassed PBF.

    PBF is obviously the better technical fighter but so is Yuri Foreman, so what. You need to look at the fights, how they won, who they fought, the risks they took and how they came through.

    Unfortunately, the way boxing works, it isn't always in a fighter's best interests to take the harder fights, if he wants to make the most money.

    Also, I think to do something like this properly, you take a firehose and wash away all the filth. By filth I mean all the alphabet titles. Sure, they play a major part in what fights were made, but all of these organizations are corrupt beyond belief. It is better to look at the names on the resume and where they were when they faced the fighter.

    Of course, even though I choose Pac, PBF is obviously an incredible phenom. It is funny what our heroes choose to do, isn't it?

    Maybe when Pac finally wins an election in the Phillippines, PBF can come wrestle Hulk Hogan to celebrate...

    Floyd made 140 3 years ago...His walk around weight 3 years ago is what it is now...He could make 140..If you have ever boxed you'd know this...He comes in at 150 because he can eat whatever he wants...he can shed the weight with ease by running with a sauna suit and stepping onto the scale juss to hit 140 for 5 seconds and than he's done..

    Floyd can make 140 without dehydrating and that is most likley a fact!

    You can lose water weight by running a few miles...I run 4 miles a day...I usually lose around 3 lbs juss running with a sauna suit..Floyd trains alot harder than I do as do most or all pro boxers..He could cut it to step on the scale is what Im sayin!

    If he's fight night weight is 151, more than likely his walk around weight is higher than that. 151 is his fit fighting weight, to get to 140 he would need to shed down to 11lb of water, depending on his body type that could be detrimental. Not everyone carries or rids water the same way. Yes I do box.

    Ok and regardless...he does'n't come into fights at 151..He comes about 148....Take a look at his fights at WW and see his fight night weights...He said even when he fought Oscar he tipped the scales at 150 and he really weighed 148....He could make the weight man....Oscar came down to 147 n I'm sure Floyd could make 140..His own dad has even said he's a 140lb fighter fighting at 147....
