Mayweather vs. Marquez is Close To a Done Deal

No matter the weight haters will find something to complain about.

the weight haters? you mean the floyd haters? this fight shouldn't happen, i hope its a tune up. even if its not at a 147 weight, mayweather is still too big for him, i really dont see the point of this fight in less its a tune up

This is sad If Mayweather takes this fight.

Why not Mosley? Shane has called out Floyd countless times.

I can understand Marquez wanting it. But not Floyd doesn't get any Credit for beating this Guy.

I dont give Morales credit for some of his fights where he towered over the opposition.

I only ask for the fight to be at 140lbs. That's my ontly wish...

The fact that Marquez doesn't have to move up to Welter is a big deal. It makes it a lot more fair for him. I was worried that he'd be forced to pack on weight and lose his key attributes in speed and timing. But Marquez comes in at 140+ pounds these days anyways, so a catch weight at below 145 is more than plausible. Props to both sides for making the fight happen in so professional of a manner.

And for those who are using the tired weight disadvantage excuse, please hang it up. The arguments against this are as old as boxing itself. A few pounds in weight doesn't make a mountain of a difference. You all want to start acting like Mayweather is a gigantic Welterweight, when in reality there are guys at 140 who are physically larger than him. It was always skill that carried Floyd through the weight classes, not pure brute strength. So if he beats Marquez, I think he deserves credit based on the fact that he will have won by being the better fighter and not on the fact that he out-muscled Marquez- cuz that aint what he does and we all know it.

I agree with this post for the most part. My question is, if Floyd does in fact lose which certainly can happen to anyone, what then? Everyone's is assuming Floyd would win but no one is giving the scenario of what occurs if he lost. The scenario right now is FMJ wins, fights either Hatton for the 2nd time in England or Manny in Vegas for the "new vs old Pound For Pound" title. If Hatton wins, he already said he would fight Marquez. Thoughts?

Well we just need to watch boxing and ignore the negativity that comes with it, Its a fight i would enjoy watching because JMM is a good counterpuncher who takes more chances than the average boxer.

Let the haters complain, I bet JMM is happy because he would have his own pick of fighters even if he loses to Mayweather.

Why wouldn't he get credit for beating a top P4P fighter? A guy who has given the current P4P kingpin all he can handle?

If Marquez can give Manny Pacquiao more heat than all of the bigger men that Manny has faced, why can't that be applied to this fight? Weight isn't an issue here. Especially the way Floyd fights.

If Floyd loses, he will very likely go back to Welterweight and try to get a big fight with Cotto. His selling power lies in his undefeated title, so he will be more open to taking risks if he loses.

Why would he have to pack on weight??

He can come in at 129, 135, 138.5, 141.4589, or 147.

The only, only, only difference between 143/144 and 147 is that you make Mayweather dry out a couple of pounds.

weight is clearly the issue... mayweather is bigger.. i mean seriously, i did not expect this fight to happen, and i was hoping it wasn't... this is going to be a boring fight... i just know it
