Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[Dave Rado]

Sorry Dave Rado, but you're acting like a bad joke now.

You rate Calzaghe, of all the boxers, and you say these things about Mayweather?

The irony must be lost on you

When did Calzaghe fight people from much lower weight classes than him? Talk about bringing up irrelevancies! You're a troll.

Not to mention that he never claimed to be one of the 10 greatest fighters of all time.

he said that he'd fight mayweather at 140 or a LITTLE more above 140 (142-144)

here, educate yourself:

You tube the in ring interview and he doesn't say **** about 140. He says I want Mayweather. If Floyd called out Bernard and then at a post fight interview that few watch says yeah I want him at 154 that would be right?

The problem I have with JMM is he is trying to get exposure by calling out FLoyd. When Floyd told him to bring it on JMM lost his balls.

[Dave Rado]

Yes. It is brilliant.

How else would you want to compare two guys if not on fight night?

Under the rules of boxing, it's the weight at the weigh in that determines the weight class. And this is a boxing forum, not some other sport.

Some of these people think that it doesn't affect a fighter losing a ridiculous amount of weight and then rehydrating a bunch overnight. Is it a coincidence that the only time Williams lost was when he rehyd the most overnight from 147 to 164?

[Dave Rado]

Marquez shouldn't have issued a challange if he wasn't going to live up to it.

Marquez issued a challenge to fight at 140lb. Marquez made it clear from the start what weight he was willing to fight at. If Floyd wasn't interested in that, he shouldn't have got into negotiations with him.

he even agreed to fight a bit higher than that, but people here don't get that

JMM isn't the man at 135 Pac is

Pac is no longer a Lightweight, so that's a dumb statement. You may as well say Mayweather is still the man at Lightweight.

[Dave Rado]

How is meeting at 140 half way? JMM was moving to 140 anyway!!

He hasn't proved he can fight effectively at 140. His only reason for moving up is because he's chasing Pac or Hatton. He already looks like the smaller man when he fights other Lightweights. He's a natural Super Featherweight.

[Dave Rado]

pac doesn't have a single one because he's not a 135 ponder. he vacated the belt and left that weight class, so how is he the top 135 boxer without being a 135 boxer anymore?

Plus Pac was never the man at 135. The only Lightweight he ever beat was a journeyman who had been gifted a belt, and who was ranked the fourth best Lightweight at the time.

So JMM gets Pacs left overs. What is Pacs weight class after he finishes daring to be great by moving up in weight and fighting World Class elite fighters. JMM is a ***** that shouldn't call anybody out if he is not going to fight them.

Pacs next potential fights

Pac vs Hatton May 2
Pac vs Mayweather
Pac vs Mosley

JMM next potential fight

JMM vs Morales at 140
JMM vs David Diaz
JMM vs Hatton

Pac owns JMM.
