Will all the fans of boxing say that the 2 year layoff affected his abilities or he fought the p4p ranked no. 2 boxer in the world and he finally took a chance and faced a better boxer than himself...or how about the famous rib injury???
If Marquez is lucky to win, then there will be a rematch, and JMM will come out saying beating Mayweather twice would add more to his legacy than beating Manny Pacquiao.
floyd has no business losing to someone 2 weight divisions lower than him
Cosign Pull. Fukk what anybody says about it. JMM is a beast for havin the balls to take this fight. The man gets nothin but props if he somehow pulls this shit off.
it bugs the **** out of me when ppl say mayweather should fight someone his own "size" Both fighters with a chance to beat him are smaller than him. Boxing isnt about size, this isnt MMA. Boxing takes intellegence and skill. Why do you think may marquez and pac have all been able to beat guys bigger than them. I bet anything may beats both mosley and cotto. I feel may will lose to either marquez or pac. One or the other.
And if happens to be marquez then he shouldnt make any damn excuses for losing, i mean he claimed the win against castillo when everyone who saw the fight knows castillo beat him. Karma wil return for marquez who beat pac and for may who lost to castillo.
Floyd was weight drained...
Marquez was using performance enhancers...
Floyd fought with injured ribs...
Lifting rocks gave Marquez an unfair training advantage...
floyd is supposed to dominate,if he doesn't & wins a close fight,that is disgraceful,unless it is proven clear that Marquez is truly blessed,I'm just saying!!:boxing:
Start popping those bottles. Mayweather ain't coming back from a long layoff to dominate a top fighter. He wasn't THAT far ahead of JMM.
FMJ is a guy who relies on timing, accuracy and stamina. The three things that are MOST affected by inactivity.
Fortunately, Floyd never stayed out of the gym, gained any weight or stopped working his skills. Every other fighter in the game gains all type of weight and stays out of the gym until the next training begins. Good thing Floyd is the best and does what the best is supposed to do.
The ring rust thing Marquez already knew people might bring up before he signed this fight. But the rib injury that Mayweather suffered would take some shine off the victory if Floyd and his fans used that as an excuse. It will still be an awesome victory though.
I glad floyd is back but he should fight someone his own size. He should fight Cotto, Margarito or Shane for a real challenge. I view this as a tune up and i hope floyd does to.
Mayweather has a ready made excuse if he loses this fight because of the rib injury. I can't make any judgements on what it will mean for the winner and loser of this fight until it happens. If Mayweather beats a slow, bloated, crappy at welterweight Marquez it won't be impressive. If Marquez beats a brittle, rusty Mayweather it will still be huge but Mayweather will have his excuse. Hopefully both fighters will be at the top of their game on fight night so we don't have a million threads making excuses for the loser which will be countered by a million threads for the winner.
