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

[FalconBalla2]

So Mayweather isnt interested in fighting the best at WW. He only wants to fight people who aggressively call him out. OK. Why didnt he fight Margarito? Why did'nt he agree to fight Williams after the Winky fight, when Williams challenged him in exactly the same way JMM did?

Margarito?? When has he ever aggressively called him out???

NEVER...

yea they offered him 8 mill for a fight...

but come on genius... 8 mill for Tony or 20 mill for Oscar?...

hmmmmm I think EVERYONE chooses the DLH fight instead.

besides Tony never called him out, they just offered him a fight, and Bob did his usual lowballing of Floyd knowing DLH was on the horizon...

Im not referring to these little I'd like to fight you statements..I'm talkin about the disrespectful way.. like Hatton did it. PW said he would like to get in the ring with someone if he came out of retirement (Floyd)... or "someone from 168" (Calzaghe).

Regardless, I wouldn't like to see PW fight at WW anymore.. Its better for both him and the Welterweights.. at 154 he looks soo much stronger and still has the range and speed advantages... Besides, no WW WANTS to fight him and I can see why. I personally would rather PW fight Pavlik, Taylor, Hopkins, Dawson, Kessler, Froch, Miranda, Abraham... It just seems that its where he belongs. I would like to see him put on a little weight too. But hey... I'm just a fan

I do agree that Marquez has a way better chance of beating Floyd then almost all of the top welters... as much as this chance is...

I say it again with the exception of Williams size won't never matter... it's skill... Marquez has a mean streak... he usually always finds a way to connect... and always fights the whole fight... I still think Mayweather will win. You always must see what you want to see... if you want to see Floyd in a good fight it ain't nothing bad that he fights a guy who is more to his size... because he will take more chances offensively... or if he fights a true WW who is bigger then him... he will BORE U guys to death with his display of defense and one shot at a time... so I don't see why the Marquez fight should be something bad...

Marquez is seen as an skill full boxer so I don't know why ppl want to see Floyd fight somebody who is a welter but no meaningful fighter or a very skillful fighter who comes up to fight him... that's what boxing always was... the guy who is the man also always calls the shot... guys like DLH who was not even considered the best but was the man always called the shots... Both Sugar Ray's always called the shots etc. that's always being the thing in this game and don't forget... May ain't called him out... and yes many called him out but first of all why and how should he fight every1 who is calling him out... Marquez was the right guy and if Marquez is just a tune-up I'm really looking forward to his next match-up *loooooooooooool*

Williams didnt call out Maywetaher after then Winky fight..he called out Calzaghe.

Yes he did. He said his first choice would be Mayweather.

Margarito?? When has he ever aggressively called him out???

NEVER...

The videos are on youtube. He pursued a fight with Mayweather far more aggressively than JMM.

but come on genius... 8 mill for Tony or 20 mill for Oscar?...

You just made my point for me. Mayweather isnt interested in fighting the best, just who makes him more money. This point is further made by the fact that Mayweather said he didnt want to fight Cotto because he didnt have enough fans, as I've pointed out already.

Floyd is a damn, *****, Marquez now, even says at 143, wich is a bit more than he wants, but Floyd still ***** about 4 ****ing pounds.

This is easy, want to fight at WW, then fight WWs, want to fight blown up SFWs, fight atleast at 140!!!!

I dont think Floyd is a ***** but I agree with the last part

[Mojita]

Man..

Marquez is a good fighter but MW is a 147 pounder, not below. same with Marquez, he's at best suppose tobe a lightweight or maybe 140 but anymore is too much.

I prefer PacvsMW

I guess you missed, the press Conference where margarito punked Floyd, and then the rest of the Conference Floyd was paroind of Margarito!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rich Loc]

LOL! Why not Calderon? Smaller = Better in your opinion, it seems. Mayweather should fight Calderon, and prove he's the best.

Pacman fight night weight at WW 148 Mayweather fight night weight at WW 148
Interesting

Yes he did. He said his first choice would be Mayweather.

last time i checked boxing is a BUSINESS . why do people box ? because they want to make money, and good money. why do all these guys call out floyd ? HES WORTH THE MOST MONEY. they will get more money fighting him than anyone else other than dlh and he fights whoever he chooses you dont choose him ( him being dlh ) bottom line, so why not try floyd and they all do.

these guys put their health and their brains on the line everytime they box so be careful when you say they do it for money cuz why does ur ass go to work everyday ? for money or else you wouldnt go to work now would you?

am i saying i dont want to see floyd fight cotto or shane ? ( margs can stay in mexico forever if he wants and paul should stay jmw / mw ) no of course im not id love to watch that are you kidding me ? i just cant say i blame floyd for trying to make the most money.

Umm no!!!!!!!

1. He IS interested in fighting the best as he chased DLH for 5 years and wanted to fight Shane in '99. He is just going to make DAMN sure he doesn't get lowballed in the process... So obviously he is going to go with someone who will give way to him financially rather than someone that won't give him the 60>40 he is due.. Shane wants money in a mega-fight and he has voiced it publicly which is why he is waiting on Hatton V Pac (which is a mistake). Shane won't get more than 40% for either fighter and he won't even land the fight because Floyd will, and Cotto would fight the loser.. You can bet you money on that.

2. Youtube??? let me know when the last time was that someone took a youtube snippet seriously... You might ASSUME that I haven't seen this video, but I have. And it is faaaaar from aggressive... maybe you should look at Ricky Hatton's challenge after the JLC fight and see exactly what I'm talking about because you seem to be confused... I still can't believe you said youtube.. WOW!! no headlines, no post fight disrespect... YOUTUBE??? LMFAO

[Mr. Fantastic]

I guess you missed, the press Conference where margarito pinked Floyd, and then the rest of the Conference Floyd was paroind of Margarito!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, that **** was priceless. Then the dude goes and says "I'm not about to prove to the boxing fans who the best is" or similar. Yet his nuthugging stans are here defending a guy like that.
