Mayweather vs. Marquez on July 18 - Two Pounds Apart?

[Pullcounter]

The good thing about all this, if Floyd is returning, which I think he is but is not yet confirmed, is that he will proove you all wrong... After winning over JMM & PAC (Big $$ fights) he will dismantle all the other WW (Cotto, Mosley even Williams)....

he'll fight mosley, and cotto if arum doesn't mess things up, but floyd probably won't fight williams

them = featherweights and lightweights??

[Ido]

Other then the weight/money, If the fight happens. I only hope they get a referee that does not permit you know elbow/forearm smothering. How Floyd contentiously gets away with it is beyond me.

[QUISQUEYA]

Mayweather has been at a casino table for over eighteen months. How much more of an advantage can Marquez ask for??

Isn't inactivity a bigger handicap than two pounds?

You say it as if it affects the outcome of the fight. He didn't tell Hatton to walk into a check left hook. And I don't recall seeing it against Oscar...

uh... yeah, there was a few against dlh. the worst one was a forearm to oscars throat. jmm has thrown a few elbows in his time too though... i just hope its kept clean and fair to both fighters at 143lbs or less!

if dirty shots didn't affect outcomes, they wouldn't penalize for each of them so severely

oh and yeah, he did throw some against de la hoya, but not as much as in the hatton bout, since oscar was a liiiiittle big bigger than hatton. floyd likes to do that **** more on little guys, you know, the majority of the people he fights

nobody gets elbowed if they keep their distance

because he doesn't do it all the time

uh... yeah, there was a few against dlh. the worst one was a forearm to oscars throat.

a few = nothing to cry about

jmm has thrown a few elbows in his time too though... i just hope its kept clean and fair to both fighters at 143lbs or less!

this fight is gonna be very technical so i don't think you have to be scared or cry about it

if dirty shots didn't affect outcomes, they wouldn't penalize for each of them so severely

the penalites come when its done excessively

oh and yeah, he did throw some against de la hoya, but not as much as in the hatton bout, since oscar was a liiiiittle big bigger than hatton.

the reason why hatton got to eat elbows is because he was clinching too much, floyd was just trying to create space for his punches.

floyd likes to do that **** more on little guys, you know, the majority of the people he fights

wrong, he likes to do it against guys who crowd him

[El Jesus]

I don't really know why people are saying this is a tune up fight for Mayweather, Marquez is not a tuneup for anybody.

I think its really a testament to floyds skill level, to the point where even the floyd haters are unknowingly given credence to his level of talent.
