    Here's the big deal. Every opponent of Floyd should include weight stipulation in the fight contract which calls for heavy penalties (in millions of dollars per pound) for weigh-in weight infractions since Floyd is a proven weigh-in weight cheater. :D

    that's not my article. :lol:

    even basing it off from the article, why didn't floyd tried to make the weight 1 week before if he really is trying to make it? it's really simple, if he is trying to make the weight, he doesn't need to change the contract.

    Ok, you won't answer the question fine.:lol: So basically you think you're right by saying Floyd DIDN'T try, and I'm wrong for saying he did try right?

    yes unless you can prove otherwise that floyd tried to make the weight. floyd ignored the 144 catchweight, asked GBP to change the weight from 144 to 147. enough information already to say that floyd didn't tried to make the weight. so how can you say otherwise that floyd tried to make it?

    Was that hard?:lol: I think Floyd got down to 144, and didn't like the way he felt a week before the fight, and had whatever changed in the contract. Floyd never had trouble making weight before.

    do you have source or an article proving this or saying that floyd is right on target with the 144 weight a couple of days/weeks before the fight?

    To make 144, you have to be around 144 or lower. Fighters want to be at fight weight for a few days to get comfortable. Draining down to 144 on the day of the weigh in is not easy.

    i have an article saying floyd didn't made the agreed weight. i only asked you for some source that floyd is on target with the 144 weight for this would prove that floyd tried to make 144.

    i can actually site an article that says floyd tried to make the weight for this fight secret or at least should not be for public consumption. again, why would floyd try to make this fight's weight secret?

    2lbs? The size disadvantage would have been there regardless of losing 2 freakin' pounds? What I'm saying is JMM was destined to lose this fight regardless of 2 freakin' pounds. He never stood a chance and I believed that from the minute this fight was announced. That is why this 2 pounds crap make no difference to me. I believe Floyd was wrong for not coming at he weight that was agreed, but oh well. The way that fight played out 2 pounds wouldn't have made one damn bit of difference. You can talk about punch resistance(JMM landed what, like 4 clean punches the whole fight) and nit pick every little thing on this issue you want, but when the media mentions this fight how often do you hear weight being brought up. It doesn't, because the MAJORITY believe the weight wasn't the problem. Floyd skills being way above JMM's is all people saw. From the point on the weight became a dead topic.

    So once again............THISv

    the amount of punches is irrelevant. even if jmm landed one but if floyd felt it, it would have changed the complexion of the fight from the early on. floyd knew that jmm couldn't hurt him so he is just smiling at one point on those punches that jmm landed on him.
