If Mayweather is so small, why not fight JMM at 135-140?

Well HBO thought the same thing, which is why Merchant had the nerve to bring up Winky Wright fighting Floyd after Floyd knocked Hatton out. People are always trying to find someone bigger for Floyd to lose to, Floyd aint losing.

HBO thought what? The only thing HBO thought about was the bottom line.

As for what people want...I think people just want to see the best fighter in the world make the best fights possible. It's the apologists who trouble us. The one's who argue that Floyd beat the best in every division, using such logic as "Baldomir was linear, therefore he was the best" or "Well Hatton was the best at 140" while conveniently forgetting at 147 Hatton is top 10 at most.

What's so hard to understand about that? I don't have a problem with him fighting Marquez...but let's be honest - it ain't a p4p fight. It's a work the kinks out fight. Which, sadly, Floyd seems to do a lot more of ever since he left the lightweight division.

Those weights indicate LW vs. WW to me.

If he does fight JMM at 147, JMM does NOT HAVE to weigh in at 147.
JMM can weigh in at 141 and Floyd at 147. Fight night JMM adds like 5 pounds while PBF adds 1 or 2 pounds. JMM will be around 146 fight night while PBF will be 148. It’s a close fight size wise

So? Why can't Mayweather cut down to 135 or 140 considering he's the "same size"

Who's to say he wont eventually fight the best as you say it, by the way who is the best youre referring to at welterweight. And in your opinion who should Floyd be fighting July 18 if thats the date he will fight.

i have an idea: if floyd is having so mouch trouble with JMM why he don't fight someone in the 147 division. ta tannnn

i don't know how people is backing up a fighter in the 147 fighting someone in the 135 division. that's just funny

Floyd aint no 5 ft 8 3/4. Ive heard many people say that he is closer to 5'7 than 5'8. Funny how you didnt mention all the things that Marquez is bigger than Floyd in.

because he will never do that. he never did it when he was fighting.
