If Floyd wants to fight at 147, why not just fight a WW?

[deevel79]

then dont fight at 147

LOL... Plain and simple! Dont campaign at WW, then complain u dont belong there when another credible WW calls u out. Well not really Floyd, but its his fanboys who are constantly complaining that he's not a natural WW.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Both Marg and Floyd were fighting at WW at the time Marg called him out. Its not as if Floyd was a LW and Marg was calling him out to come face him at 147. Big difference.

They both wanted to fight smaller opponents.

Really Marquez should take this fight. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. If he turns this down he can look forward to fighting Valero for much less money and much more to lose.

The geat floyd is back,trying to fight Marquez at 147 and people are still trying to find excuses as to why thats OK!!!At 147 there are very well established fighters with big fanbases,that would make floyd money!!Winky is a real fighter he came back and fought a beast!!Claim all u like,but floyds resume is and will always be garbage!!

Now i'm all for a Floyd/Marquez showdown, but i feel 147 is a bit of a stretch for Marquez.

[Left Hook Tua]

I dont understand. He's firm on his decision to make his next fight at 147, yet wants a LW to come up from 135 to 147. Now this thread isnt about hate. Its about common ***ing sense! Why not just take on a credible WW if he's dead set on making his next fight at 147?

correction. he wants a 126 fighter fighting at 135 to come up to 147.

Legitimate foe with a good fanbase? Hmmmmm.... Mosley?

mosley's fanbase is not that big

If he's not a true WW, then why is he demanding his next fight take place at WW? If he wants to fight smaller guys, then he should move down in weight. Plain and simple.

cause guys who move down in weight always get beat up badly

Yea he should fight a 147 pounder but if he's looking for a tune-up that means he's not looking for a difficult fight. Cotto,Mosley may present bigger challenges than a JMM fight. Tune-up aka easy fight. Low risk low reward usually.

If he's just coming back for one fight than its not a tune-up.

yeah... cotto and mosley aren't tune-ups... both are gonna be tough fights. jmm is the only one that is a tune up.

IF thats the case than have him fight MIGUEL COTTO or SSM that a solid fanbase dont u think IF he fights JJM and PACMAN than PBF isnt looking to be a legend he'll be just known as good not even great

nah... floyd beating pac and jmm are legit... hopefully floyd will come around and fight mosley/cotto winner as well.

then dont fight at 147

I doesn't get anymore simple than that.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

I agree Deveel.

This is ****ing ridiculous.

If he is not a WW like his huggers say, then dont fight at WW. I mean, realy ****ing balls he is showing wanting a 36 years old LW, to move up to WW to fight him. **** that, move down to 140, your not a true WW by your hugges standars.

And if he is thinking about future bouts at 147, well then Pick a ****ing WW for the tune up, Collazo,Quintana, Molsey(I know he is no tune up),ect,ect,ect.

I agree with Mangler, Mr boat buyer will try to fight JMM and Pac at 147 and retire again, Mo FO aint fighting a WW fir ****!!!

Sad part ois that JMM can fight Valero, Bradley or Campbell, Make very good money and tell Mr Boat Buyer to **** off.

Floyd cant be demanding too much ****. Now everybody is fighting everybody, so they dont need Floyd to comeback. So he better be carefull!!!!!!

[-EX-]

I hope you guys remember he's looking for a tune-up...easy fight(in his mind)...yea...

I dont even care for Winky, but i give him a ton of respect for taking on Paul Williams. Off for 2yrs and takes on one of the hottest/most dangerous fighters in his division with no tune-up. Much props to Winky. He gave it his all in that fight, just couldnt get the job done. Nothing wrong with that. I respect a fighter who steps up to the plate and fall short, more so than a fighter who dares to not step up to the plate at all!
