    Floyd had been off for two years and wanted to shake the ring rust off and do it against a top 3 p4p fighter just like shane was at the time.

    B/c Floyd didn't want to fight PAC at that time and he wanted to get a "ONE UP" on PAC. In order to do that he had to beat the guy that gave PAC trouble. Floyd couldn't get down to 140 so he offered the catch weight of 144 to get JMM to accept....after all JMM called Floyd out if I'm not mistaken. So it was a win win for Floyd given the fact that he knew he'd be able to dominate a blown up JMM and it would give him some barganing chips for when he did sign on to face PAC. the only problem was Floyd all the sudden getting cold feet after PAC dominated Cotto, then Josh and completely killed the chance of the fight happening with Manny.

    Don't forget that Pac fought him at JMM's division on 1st 2 fights because JMM was the champion and Pac wanted those fight. This time, JMM wanted it and he has to move up to meet Pacman. If this fight ever happen, I believe it will favor both fighter not just Pac.
    135+(6)=141
    147-(6)=141
    So catchweight at 141 is the neutral ground. Pac might agree @140.

    I was impressed by your consistency to remain cool and answer threads with the utmost seriousness no matter how ridiculous they sound for the last few weeks but it seems like you finally crack. :hey

    With all the recent threads about the ***** moves by great fighters, Floyd seems the worst because he himself didn't honor it. :lol::lol::lol:

    Floyd wanted a big name to beat on who he knew he could handle with little or no problems, bingo

    Add to that jmm's life and death battles with pac and im sure floyd was even happier, floyd did it in style though it has to be said, very impressive

    So when a Dumbass starts an anti Pac thread you agree to it but when the opposite does the same thing you get sand in your vagina.

    Get your ***** ass out of here ******.

    Joke of a fight, Mayweather is too good to be getting more advantages through catchweights, he doesnt need to stoop that low and put a cloud over his legacy by fighting catchweight fights.
