HOW CAN FLOYD JR CLAIM HE IS THE BEST P4P WHEN HE CAN”T EVEN MAKE WEIGHT?


PhilBoxing.com




Shame on Floyd Mayweathe,r Jr., for not even making the contract weight of 144 lbs.

And shame on Mayweather Senior and his brother Roger for not making sure that their fighter make weight!

And, they still continue to claim that Junior is best pound4pound?

Nah… not even close!

At the weigh-in today held at the MGM Grand before a not so full venue, (compare to the weigh-in of the past Marquez-Pacquiao fights), Mayweather Jr came in at 146 pounds.

Marquez was 142lbs.

Yes, both are within the welterweight limit but definitely, Mayweather’s 146 lbs. is over the contracted fight weight of 144lbs.

There are a few words to describe Mayweather’s excess weight.

One that comes to mind is utter lack of discipline. Then there is lack of respect for the fight game and the people who paid money to see a fair fight.

Collectively, it is best described as “egocentric”.

Mayweather clearly thinks only of himself and does not appear to give a damn about boxing and the people that pay to see a fair fight. He just could not care less.

If he did, wouldn’t he come in at the proper contracted weight?

Mayweather can not make 144 anymore. He has been gone in boxing for so long and his body is screwed up. If he tries to make 144, he will be so weak that Marquez will knock him out.

Therefore, he elected to come in at 146 for the weight in and possibly 152-to 156 at fight night to assure that he is a lot bigger than Marquez and should be able to take the punches of the Mexican dynamite.

What else could it be?

Now Floyd Jr should stop claiming he is still the top P4P. How can he when he can’t even make weight?
