    JMM is having to go up by 8LBS from 135 to 143,but Floyd,a small WW anyway,is only dropping from 147(at most,he was 146 against Baldo and Judah) to 143.
    Seems unfair,especially in light of the fact that Floyd could make 140,where it should be at, without too much problem.
    Anybody agree?

    He doesn't like to cut weight.

    Sounds like a good middle to me. JMM Moving up, won't need to cut weight unless he adds a lot of weight (he doesn't need to)

    while Floyd will need to cut a few lbs to make weigh.

    stop crying about the weight of their fight . you dont think that they (both ) boxers know what they are doing . hey remember the crying over weight about the Pac Oscar fight. the two are pretty much the same size so shut up with the repeat.
    oh and thanks also I, I enjoy reading about the box every day .

    If you call someone out, you have to be prepared to move up to their weight. Simple as that.

    Do you people actually think Mayweather stayed at 147 while he was retired. There was an interview going around that he stated he was walking around at around 160. So he has to cut a few pounds while JMM has to go up a few so its not as unfair as people are sayin

    If JMM didnt want the fight then he wuldnt have took it. Maybe we think its unfair, but JMM sees it at a chance of a lifetime and doesnt want to past it up. I remeber when Mosley moved up to fight DLH, DLH said no way a catch weight, my weight or no fight at all and Mosley said lets do it. I do think Mayweather can make 140 but when you havent fought in almost 2 years it could be hard. Mayweather is not big at all though guys

    Shane walks around at 160-165 and he is bigger than Floyd by a good margin, Floyd sr in a recent interview stated the his son is 150 right nowand he hasnt even entered training camp.

    Of course it doesn't seem fair to you. Floyd can do no right in your eyes:roll:

    Fact is, JMM called Floyd out and Floyd being the bigger draw can dictate alot of the terms of the fight. I rather be in JMM's shoes having to add weight than Floyd's, who normally walks around at 160lb

    Hate on

    Ive started a thread about it,not cried about so dont tell me to shut up you cheeky fukin noob,who do you think you are?

    People who complained(not "cried" you tit)were not aware that Oscar would be a weak shell of himself in the ring at 147 against Pac,so a totally failed analogy that one.

    Finally...What does that "reading about the box every day" crap at the end mean?:huh

    The weight is fair. Please people, stop whining about Mayweather. He will beat Marquez and then beat Pacquiao. Marquez called him out. Why should Floyd drop to 140?
