This will be his fifth fight north of 135. Its amazing because at one point i've said that he can never fight above lightweight. Due to his new training methods it seems to me that JMM could be considered a full fledged Jr. welter of even a full welter and can handle the weight just fine. How well do you think he could have done in the 140-147 division had he done this 5 years ago?
dont know, he has a great style, probs would get robbed against someone like Bradley. if he wins against pac, i want mayweather II
He prob still looses but I think the versions of both Floyd and JMM that we see now the fight would def be better
Fought Floyd at welter 3 years ago and Pac III 1 year ago. Didn't win a round vs Floyd. So, if he made the jump 5 years ago like you wonder about, safe to say he isn't as effective as we saw when he fought Pacquiao at welter.
