    floyd is no natural 147 pounder id say 140 is the limit for him
    a question for those discrediting the hatton win...do you think the fight plays out any different at 140?? no because he systematically broke him down outboxed him then outfought him (beat him at his own game) results the same at any weight

    PBF could handle the extra weight because he's a superior boxer who can move up and still win. A true testament to his greatness and it's what separates him from others like Margo who rely on thier size advantage to beat smaller men.

    It is a big possibility that the fight goes different at 140 cuz Floyd kills himself to make 140 and Ricky is faster and can bully people at 140

    He tried to after the Zoo fight in 2005 but Ricky turned him down so he moved up to 147.

    ...and yet he and his nuthugging fanboys claim he has always fought the best competition. This thread should be entitled "Why Floyd deserves little credit for victories at 140 and above"

    Mayweathers stated while he was fighting that he walks around at his fight weight.

    Mayweather is retired of course he weighs more, he's in the luxury of retirement.

    And there it is. Though I would like to point out that I give him due credit for the individual fights, I just don't think they meant anything to the divisions he fought them at, if that makes any sense.

    Even when he was fighting don't think he walked around 147,probably 155 or so and now he is 160 end of story

    That is true but he didn't fight him at 140. He fought him at 147. If he beats him at 140 he gets more credit than 147 which he would likely do.
