Honestly i am truly amazed that people are downplaying this fight. This fight is super fight and yet it's being treated as big normal fight. 2 of the top 3 P4P fighters in the sport going at it? Mexico's best vs America's best whats not to like?
Yeah Marquez is moving up in weight, but how many other great fighters have moved up successfully in the past? Many elite fighters have done it and will continue to do it. Marquez himself has done it already. Marquez is elite and one of the top 3 P4P guys in Boxing. Marquez like other elite fighters before him have dared to be great. Marquez is doing that by fighting Mayweather.
Mayweather is also taking a risk (People here think that Marquez will be highly affected by weight and i don't see it like that and it is being overplayed).Marquez will come to fight and will force Mayweather to bring out the best in him (Just like Pacman in his fights with him).
Both guys are intelligent, can box/fight and have tons of experience. This will truly be a great fight. I believe people will regret their initial hatred they had for this fight. In fact i am going out on limb and say that this fight will be so good that people will want a rematch.
It's a fight between a welterweight and a lightweight, that are both defensive counter punchers. It's almost guaranteed to be an average non exciting fight, not quite boring I don't think but nothing FOTY material. Sorry Marquez fans, but he slowed down and was worse at lightweight, welterweight is just going to add to that.
And Pac-Cotto is called a mismatch by a lot of people here who think Cotto is too big and strong. It's a legit fight where Floyd-JMM isn't because Pac has fought at 140 and looked to have lost none of his speed and strength, compared to Marquez who did lose speed and reflexes at 135.
He's good against a weight drained dead man. Didnt PROVE anything. If Floyd goes in their and kill him then people will say 147 was never for Pac.
Anyone knows Pac is never been a 147. Most people here pick Oscar to KO the midget Pac then after the fight Oskee become weight drained and dead. That's ridiculous. Pac just beat a giant former MW champ and an ATG.
IF FLOYD FIGHT PAC. IF FLOYD IS GOD. IF IF IF make your fact up straight.
Why is it ok for big ass Cotto to fight Pac, but its not ok for Floyd who isnt that much bigger than Marquez?? I dont get it..
Yeah, its funny how heavily favored Manny is to beat Cotto, but JMM somehow doesnt stand a chance against Mayweather.
Meh, both are awesome fights, and anyone can win in either bout. No mismatches here.

Yep. That's the out people will use.

It should be a good fight but I think ppl are waiting for Floyd vs Pac-Cotto winner.

And this fight will be hyped when 24/7 starts. Floyd is pretty good at promoting
Pac has already tested 147 and he still good at that weight. While JMM is not yet tested in the higher weight. Pacman is in another level than where Marquez is right now. Mayweather should fight Pac than JMM...
The two fight will determined who is the true sell to the public i mean Cotto/Pac or Mayweather/Marquez. We already know whats the answer.
And shame on Floyd for asking the bigger slice against Pac.
Its amazing how people trash Floyd for fighting JMM But not Cotto for fighting Pac. Pac fought JMM twice but no one is trashing Cotto. Haters are everywhere on this site.I don't get the logic either. Cotto is a solid welter bigger than Floyd.
I understand marquez called him out, but floyd wasnt forced to take the fight. He has been called out before and decided not to accept the challenge for whatever reason. Him coming back and not fighting a top welterweight is not only gonna not prove anything, but its going to add more controversy to his legacy.

Part of the difference is Pac has actually looked better and stronger higher up in weight. Marquez has looked slower and weaker. Pac's frame can handle the extra weight and even thrive with it. Marquez has looked like he is fighting in water since he moved up in weight.

I have shit all over the Pac-Cotto fight many times. Pay attention.
This fight is bullshit and has been treated as such. JMM deserves better than bein a scapegoat in a fight at a division he has no business at. The man is just too much of a warrior to back down.

Obvious bullshit fight. Thank God the fans arent buying into it. Marquez is one of my favorite fighters, but he has almost no chance. He struggled with Diaz because he couldnt carry the higher weight very well. He was slower, more effected by punches and easier to hit. And now he is moving up even more. His reflexes wont be as good, his speed wont be as good, his punching power wont be as good and his ability to take a shot has already been proven to not be as good (feather fisted Diaz rocked him badly.) Like I said, bullshit fight.
well said. exactly what i was thinking.

mayweather definitely has the advantage. but im jus sayin, jmm if nething should be lucky and grateful to have this opportunity. he wanted it, and he got it
JMM is gettin a phat payday, and he's gonna come to fight. Dude's a str8 up beast. But he ain't a WW, and Mr boat buyer proves nothin by beatin him.
Even thou everything that has been said about the fight.... The hype will pick up eventually as the date comes closer. I can see the lot of PPV buys close to the air time and probably lots of tickets sold at the arena. This fight will be good I will see it, I have the curiosity of how Floyd will be after retirement and I have always liked JMM so it is going to be a good fight night.
um, if I remember correctly, JMM was the one that called mayweather out. so how you gonna say he a scapegoat, he deserves better, he doesnt wanna back down, and all that shit wen he's the one that wanted the fukkin fight in the first place
That's what I was gettin at homey. Despite the circumstances, he challenged Mr boat buyer, and when he was called on it he refused to back down. Point is, in context of the OP, don't try to make this fight sumthin it ain't.

yea you got a point. But Floyd has so many advantages in this fight its crazy. Iv never seen a superfight billed where someone has such a small chance of winning as Marquez does. People want even fights. Im deff ordering this tho.
