Let face it, there was confusion of the weight to begin with.

not making 144 lbs makes it even worse its a huge fukkin deal. if floyd made 144 lbs and KOs jmm, at least you could give floyd a little credit and say floyd took care of jmm where pac couldn't. but by not making 144 lbs, even if floyd KOs jmm in teh 1st round, he gets no muthafukkin credit. yeah, but floyd shouldn't get paid like he is for a tune up. Why are you worried about how much Floyd is making for the fight? And please...Floyd would have not got much credit for this win even if he made weight...if so then wats the big deal about 2 pounds...

The excuse is already in place...Marquez is too small for Floyd... not making 144 lbs makes it even worse I don't see the big deal...even if Floyd won at 144 he wouldn't have received much credit for this fight... its a huge fukkin deal. if floyd made 144 lbs and KOs jmm, at least you could give floyd a little credit and say floyd took care of jmm where pac couldn't. but by not making 144 lbs, even if floyd KOs jmm in teh 1st round, he gets no muthafukkin credit. Marquez is just a stepping stone for Pac/Cotto/Mosley/Clottey... yeah, but floyd shouldn't get paid like he is for a tune up.

Point blank, the better fighter will win... Marquez got pimped by Floyd and his promoters...he agreed to the weight last night...therefore I don't have any remorse if he gets his ass whipped... Point blank, you follow a fraud. Of course Marquez is going to fight, hes got balls and isn't going to miss out on his biggest pay day after busting his ass the whole time. You guys trying to justify this are not boxing fans in any way, shape or form.

and if you're not telling the other fighter about it, well, thats fraud. Point blank, Floyd is a pussy all the way around and for you guys to even defend this bullshit and claim to be boxing fans is an outright disgrace. Point blank, the better fighter will win...

Well Floyd never mentioned a catchweight...if it was planned GBP knew wat was going on as well... and if you're not telling the other fighter about it, well, thats fraud.

I think Floyd just has too much muscle now to get down in weight, I personally don't think the layoff really had any effect there. Most guys are cutting fat to get down to their weight, but what do you do when you're already thin at 150? The weight Floyd has gained since his days at 130 is pure muscle; he used to be a pretty scrawny guy and now he's completely ripped. How do you lose 2 pounds of muscle and not pay a price? I think he decided to pay the monetary price rather than the physical price. Am I thrilled? Not really, but I understand it.

Spacey, you're a cool, calm and collected young cat, but let the mans balls go. Floyd planned this from the very beginning. Well Floyd never mentioned a catchweight...if it was planned GBP knew wat was going on as well...

BS and all along flomos we're crying oh floyds not a real WW he a tiny WW blah blah.. **** that bitch he basically payed a super featherweight to come to WW for him to look good against.

None of us knew for sure what the weight would be, and it is clear now that Floyd felt unable to make weight so they changed the contract, something JMM's camp agreed on. I think it might have been due to the lay off, I know he stays in shape... but still, 2 years out ir can be difficult... just a thought. Anyway, just to clear something up... we all know Floyd aint the kinda guy to pile on the pounds over night, I don't think there would be a huge difference in the fight night weight at 146 than there would be at 144, I just wanna see a good fight, I hope Floyd wins cause then it might set up a fight with Cotto or Pacquiao. There has seemed to be some weird shit going on lately though... hope it aint affecting Floyd, anyway just one more thing... PLEASE don't bring hate into this thread, I can't be arsed with this "hes a pussy" blah blah blah... say your disgusted fair enough but don' turn it into a hate thread, I am making this thread to stay on topic, anyway what do you guys think? I know it aint the point, but... Do you think he might have changed the contract cause of the weight issue cause of the lay off, or do you think his training might have not gone great? Do you think all the shit that has been spiraling over the past couple of weeks may be a bad thing for Floyd and give him unwanted distractions? Do you think that whether he was at 144 or 147 his fight night weight would be that different (I know it aint the point, but its just a question)? After all of this stuff, have you made a slight change in your predictions? Lets keep this on topic guys, don't want to turn this in another hate thread... if I wanted that I would just talk crap in the other threads... If you recall when the fight was announced - there was alot of confusion about the weight. Ellerby was constantly stating that it was a WW fight on one side and on the other, GBP stating that it was a 144lb limit. I don't see a problem with Floyd being 146 & JMM being 142 ... because it is within the WW limits, so it is a legitimate fight. {For those who know the rules}
