    Also, Floyd always mentions his professionalism.. So was he worried about JMM ?

    Floyd probably walks around at 150 or so. I doubt he was 160 for the Maquez fight. He just was a lot bigger than a natural lightweight.

    where did the ring magazine get their numbers? I have my doubts as to the accuracy of that number even if it was in the Ring Magazine..

    There's no way to 100% test anything. Everyone on this Olympic style blood testing but they forget Marion Jones passed all Olympic blood tests and failed her urine test. :good

    I still dont get why he is being mysterious about his fightnigt weight. why does he absolutely refuses to weigh himself, even if he was 160 so what?

    Then if you can't do it, then you can fight at a higher weight but if you signed a contract for a particular weight, you should fight at it. That's even a slap in the face of college and high school athletes who even cut and make their weights.

    not sure, perhaps he doesn't care to know, or maybe he doesn't want to give haters anything else to whine about

    It's all about Pacquaio....if Floyd has fight night weights above 155 (which I think he's had the last couple of fights), it could potentially open up Manny/Top Rank demanding some kind of weight restriction.

    Without doing that, Floyd can say he's coming into the ring at 147-152, and Arum has no verifiable evidence that he's lying about it.

    The problem with that theory is that there is no way in hell Arum could get away with that with Mayweather. We all saw Margo come in at 165 lbs. against Pacquaio. Mayweather would certainly say no, and Pacquiao would get killed for not making the fight over something like that.

    I'm not providing you with my opinion. What I provided you was a consensus Lineal tracking of the Champions. Provide a link! I provided you with a link the unbroken list. You about the use facts to back your statements. That is what I have provide you with.

    Where is this claim of yours clearly stated in Ring Magazine? The Ring stopped publishing the Lineal Champion int the 90's and didn't start again until 2002. For Flyweight they didn't list a Champion from 1989 until 2010.

    You don't know any of that! Your claim that he would have isn't even close to being reality. Floyd would have had his ass on the canvas if he tried to come in at 135 and would have been severely weight drained as you have stated he didn't want that.

    If Floyd is so freakn great, why is he always fighting the smaller fighter? Why not step up and prove he's this goat and fight Martinez. There is certainly big money in that fight. So why not? I tell you why, it is because he doesn't want to take the risk.
