    160 aint a strong division at all

    Floyd is an ATG

    He'd beat everyone @ 154

    Reckon he'd beat most @ 160

    LOL @ anyone saying he'd "probably" lose to GGG

    Very good rebuttal. I'd rather this, with some actual opinions based on styles, rather than "The Coward would never do that" or some other braindead **** like that. Good job Bald Toad.

    Before he jumps up to 160 he could give Lara a fight.

    Well, he did say cotto made him feel like retiring afterwards so I can't imagine what GGG would make him feel like ...

    Nobody would ask Pac or any ******* to pass an IQ test. I doubt even God could perform that miracle.

    He'd beat everyone except Matthew Macklin, Martin Murray, Billy Joe Saunders, Chris Eubank Jr and Kerry Hope.

    End thread.

    He's way too small to fight middleweights without some sort of catchweight. That said, I think he'd have a realistic chance against Geale or Martinez without a catchweight.

    Golovkin would knock Void out for sure, so I would expect Martinez to beat Void also...........

    Well because he never cuts water weight. When he was fighting at 130, he was coming in the ring 132, fighting at 135 he was coming in at 137. fighting at 140 he was coming in at 141. fighting at 147 and 154 ( the present ) he comes in at 150. Thats literally a meal. I can eat a burger and see a pound increase. If he didnt cut any water weight, like for the Canelo fight where AN OLDER Floyd Mayweather weighed in at pre fight 151, and then weighed in on fight night at 150. Then Im sure a younger FMJ who weighed in at 146 for a 144 catchweight WITHOUT cutting any water weight, could have made a 144 CW with little to no problem. Notice how dehydrated DLH and Cotto looked trying to make 147 and 152 respectively. FMJ looked fully hydrated and fully healthy at the Marquez weigh in. ABS on full display, no ribcage showing, all muscle. Plus, He's on some "Money can buy me my way" and "I make the rules and no one can tell him anything" type ****. Which is Wallet + Ego. If you can afford the advantages, then take them I guess.

    So thats what I meant when I said he could have easily made weight. And that his ego and wallet wouldnt allow it :happy

    And yeah I think he would, this is a guy who tells guys how he's going to beat them before he beats them, then does it. I'm sure he has a lot of pride, and on top of that, I dont see it as a rip off to be honest. If he doesnt rehydrate. Then he was probably 147-150 on fight night against Marquez. With Marquez being anywhere between 142 and 147. Not that big of a deal. One of the only fights where I can honestly say that he had the weight advantage. Throughout his career, that hasnt been the case, since we dont live in an era of fight night weigh ins and you have dude who are cutting water weight to fight out of their natural weight classes, and have huge size advantages over smaller fighters.

    pre-fight weight and fight night weight arent official. it could be off by 5-6-7 lbs no one knows.

    this is when you know the ****** starts to lose an argument: suddenly becomes a nazi on grammar or spelling.

    you have a brain the size of your *****, that's why you cant comprehend anything close the rest of the population can.

    carry on my dear. keep stalking:good



    Is spelling really that important?

    I cluod not blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch sudty at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas thgouht slpeling was ipmorantt.

    unofficial skills are just regular scales. AKA not the ones you use when you go to the doctor. you ever stepped on a regular scale and found it to be 6 or 7 pounds off? no.

    a regular scale would read: 171
    an official scale would read: 171.4

    only difference.
