Mayweather vs. Marquez is Close To a Done Deal

[Mr. Fantastic]

You must not value your **** much. It must be small.

Jk you set yourself up for it.

The odds of Floyd winning should go down if it is not at 147. Floyd is going to have to lose weight now. Add in age, inacitivity, what he was both mentally and physically going into retirement...and the history of fighters coming out of retirement....and moving down in weight......not a good sign.

Thats the thing, the inactivity/age at this point would play a part in the weight process, At 32 and off for 18 months he wouldnt be able to get the weigh off without draining his body.

The man completely demolished everyone he fought at 135, and most by extremely violent KO.He beat Jesse James Leija by KO, John John Molina by KO, and Wilfredo Ruiz by KO, all for 135 title fights. This is not including the typical "Who are they?" 135 fighters who also were KOed by Mosley. See for yourself on boxrec.com.

Yeah. I'm no kid. I SAW the Shane run at 135. It is most notable for the absence of top fighters.

It's a tune-up from Floyd's point of view. See who he fights or doesn't fight down the line before jumping to conclusions.

Agreed. Also, to be fair, Floyd Mayweather Senior has recently been quoted as saying if he had it his way he would fight Pacquiao if he defeats Hatton then Shane Mosley. As much as I don't want to see Hatton lose(and I don't believe he will, I'm calling for a KO6 victory via body shot for Hatton), if FMJ does fight Pacquiao then Shane Mosley then I would give him immense credit for it.

They said originally it would be on free to air to get a large audience and build interest for his follow-up fights - which would have been much better for boxing. It would probably have paid off commercially in the long term if they'd done that, in terms of PPV sales for future fights. Shame.

So many real welters were calling out Floyd and he agreed to fight a featherweight. What a joke.

Thats his thang mang ! He's da Runchickenrunmangweather ! Pic on all them featherweights and make yersef a star !!!!!! surely you didn't think he would take on somebody like Willams or Mosley or Cotto , or Margo , or Clottey, etc........ when he can whip light weight guys didga ???

Run little chicken run yon come Juan with a big ******* !!!!!!!!

I have a feeling Floyd is going to wait to see the the result of May 2nd fight. If Pacman loses it takes a lot of the appeal from this matchup and less ppv buys, might be forced to WCB.

Yeah and if Hatton wins then here we go with Hatton / PBF 2, with Senior as Hattons trainer.

Hope not.

Chups,

Were you saying the opposite when Floyd was fighting a zillion bigger guys?

[K-Nan]

Lol at Gayweather Butt Lovers thinking this is a legacy enhancing fight

It definitely doesn't hurt it.

Yeah. I'm no kid. I SAW the Shane run at 135. It is most notable for the absence of top fighters.

True, it didn't have the whole marquee name recognition at the time, but I always try to judge the fighter's accomplishments by the era they compete in, not by the lack of talent/marquee names. It's kind of like saying the Klitschkos aren't great fighters because this era of heavyweights is terrible, but that's another subject entirely.......
