Goddamn, how many fuckin' weight classes do people want Floyd to move up? Cut that shit out. He's already competed at 5 weight classes, so what? If he moves up to 160 and beats Martinez, then motherfuckers will be demanding a Ward fight, then a Dawson fight at 175. When will the bullshit stop?

The only way that he possibly fights Martinez, is at 154. Sergio will do the same shit Dawson did, when it came to moving down in weight. He was saying waaay before the Hopkins rematch, that he could still compete at 168. He got there, and got his ass handed to him, because of skill and of course the weight.

If Floyd fights and beats Sergio at 54, then people will complain that Sergio sacrificed a few lbs and others will say that Floyd is the best fighter in the world. If Floyd moves up to 160 and loses, then people will that its the weight, and Sergio will be the best fighter that ever lived. It goes both ways. Get it?

These "Floyd should fight this guy" discussions are getting old, and are revolving doors. This shit is like the airport, that bitch never closes. Stop it. Nobody wants to see a bloated Floyd at 160, and nobody wants to see a drained Sergio at 154. I'm tired of seeing bloated and drained fighters fight for "glory" and/or a paycheck.

LOL you said it! I hadto laugh cause a 160 floyd mayweather jr would look kinda like a bite sized 200+lb James Toney

But I gotta put my 2 cents on this now that I was thinkin bout the fights i wanted to see

the shit i don't like:

1. andre ward v. kelly pavlik
andre ward has been doing nothing but fighting good competition for the past few years. I would understand if he signed on with Pavlik for a breezy paycheck. But at the same time, I wouldn't watch it and a victory wouldn't count for nothing. Pavlik does not deserve to face a quality champion like Ward nor does he deserve the beating he'd get. pavlik is washed up imo and has been

2. ricky hatton v. ANY reputable opponents (at least for a year and pry two)
i hate to dog on all of the boxers with substance abuse problems, but ricky hatton should keep all the big names out his mouth until he knows what he is still capable of against D and C grade boxers. You can't blow up in weight, go on a few year night bender and then decide to be a boxer again. I hope Hatton shows me different but I have a feeling he might have a tough "part II" of his career.

3. pacquiao v marquez 4
this is just a redundant fight. at this point, arum should organize a continent-cross-continent tour and marquez and pacquiao can fight eachother throughout the year every location they stop at. they could fight eachother about 40 times before it was all said and done. and after everytime they fight, they sign autographs. they could also have a traveling merchandise vendor that hawks out t-shirts, cups, candy bars and hats, all pacquiao/marquez paraphinilia. my point is, don't have these two guys fight for a fourth time and act like it is still an "event"...the fourth time might as well be the 40th

4. garcia v morales II
morales made garcia compete the first time, which does mean something at the age morales is. with that said, i think that is the best morales can do now: give upncomers a lesson (but probably not a beating). worst case scenario, the veteran runs out of gas against a young gun who might make up for a lack of skills with youth and finesse. I just don't think Morales deserves to get that beating. I might be wrong though, maybe el terrible still has some cards to play I don't know about. either way, i coulda passed on seeing this rematch

5. chavez v martinez II
i hate to be dismissive and judgemental of this match made in heaven but that is what I am. the reason this fight would or could happen is the same reason that there is a 4th pacquiao marquez fight. a boxer gets all the chances in the world to redeem themselves so long as there is fan base to pay for it. chavez jr should stop thinkin about hitting martinez and instead keep to his usual of hitting the bongy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yahoo.gif)


shit i'm hard pressed to think of any others I find especially meaningless...which is a good thing. So i'll call it quits early then and keep it a solid 5.
