this talk of floyd being a small welterweight has got to stop

[deevel79]

Funny how it wasnt a problem when Floyd faced Baldomir at WW, but the excuses about how Floyd's too small come flying when u talk about him facing guys like Marg and Cotto.

?? Baldomir is 5'7" and has a reach of 68"

Cotto is a legit question, the only WW you could say he ducked.

Marg is 5'11" and has a reach of 73" which is exactly the same as Calzaghe who fought at SMW his entire career.

Regardless. The complaint from guys like brandish, burner, and flawless is the weight. Baldomir was 160+ on fight night.

Is Floyd too small for Marg? No. Would he have to overcome some size disadvantages? Yes. Thats boxing though. He is a small welter but it shouldn't make a difference if they fight.

And how tall was Corraless?

Please, stop w/the silly excuses...

Either your a WW or you are not. and if you are not then go down to 140 and take Rickies belt.

5'10" with a 70" reach.

Amazingly I would argue that Corales should have been fighting at a higher weight too.

Marg is hardly the first person to fight well below his natural weight class and he won't be the last.

what's Marg's natural weight class?

[deevel79]

Floyd himself even said that he'll take on anyone from 154 on down. So if he's not complaining about ww's and lmw's being too big, why are his fanboys complaining?

Pacman, De La Hoya, and Mayweather are hiding behind that excuse. Only other fighter at their weight is one they can beat. Just like Margarito, everyone who beat him was bigger than him ****ing excuse yet everyone he beats is his size, bull****
