JMM is a legit win for Floyd Mayweather..Heres why.

[THE REED]

The fact that Floyds been inactive for 18+ months,evens out the playing field for the extra 4 pounds Marquez has to fight with... (being he said he was moving to 140 anyway)

[Burner]

this is deceptive in that while yes JMM has had a total of three fights since Floyds retirement he has also been in 2 all out wars so whats to say those fights haven't taken their toll on a 35 year old man?

also you make it seem like Floyd's been totally away from everything when in fact he has been reported to be training as far back as mid 2008.





this is true and which is why I am glad it wont be at 147 because Mayweather will actually make an effort to lose some weight come weigh in time



good point I am fine with the weight as long as it wasnt at 147



but again all this work is at 135 and JMM is now going into uncharted territory much like Hatton did when he went to 147 and basically ****** at it

he is a huge unknown at that weight regardless of what he weighs post weigh in. This point should be taken into view when stating he is the #2 p4p.



and at a size disadvantage.




this will be a good comeback win for Mayweather nothing more


I am cool with this but its not the great fight you think it is

and Mayweather TKO6

Good posts Ive been seeing from you you should post more often.

And this is Floyds fault somehow?

Floyd was the one who was retired....not JMM...did you expect JMM to retir in unison with Floyd and come back together?

I never said it was.

If you could just stick to facts, I'd appreciate it.

I'm making the case that Marquez is venturing into unknown territory at 140, and nobody knows how he will perform at that weight.

And at age 35, with 55 professional fights under his belt, and coming out of back to back wars with Casamayor and Diaz.....Floyd beating him won't mean much to me.

Unless Marquez really hangs in there, and has moments in the fight. It all depends on how he performs.

That said, he's a 35 year old former Super Featherweight with 55 fights under his belt, moving up in weight to take on the younger, stronger, fresher (less shopworn) Mayweather.

What if how he performs has everything to do with mayweather?

If Floyds slower and Marquez hangs with him its a good win? But if Floyd is just as sharp, and makes Marquez look bad regardless.. its not a good win?

Basically Floyd cant look sharp in order to get credit.

[ßringer]

What I really want to know is this ; Will Floyd finally fight a real Welterweight after this one?

Or will he continue to stay at 147 and eye a clash with the Hatton/Pacquiao winner?

My money is on the latter.

I'd also be willing to bet it will be yet another "catchweight" fight.

Oscar, Manny, Floyd, Ricky - Apparently none of them can settle on a legit weightclass.

Mayweather isn't going to look any less than Mayweather always looks.

He's not exactly a lazy prick who can't be bothered to train, is he?

Reports of him still staying in the gym and keeping in shape date all the way back to last year.

Against a featherfisted (compared to him) Super Featherweight, he should do just fine.

Fine and dandy but this boxing fighters move up to challenge themselves....

Hopkins moving to light heavy to fight Tarver.

Calzaghe moving up to fight Hopkins.

Floyd moved up countless times.

Pac has moved up countless times.

Boxers challenge themselves and thats what JMM is doing hes taking the toughest fight of his career...my hats off to him...a true mexican warrior.

The fight hasn't even happened yet and you're defending why it would be a legitimate win.

Groupie: A person who seeks sexual and/or emotional intimacy with a celebrity or other authority figure. "Groupie" is derived from group in reference to a musical group, but now has more general application.

I think its pretty known Hatton is settled into a weightclass..

Being inactive effects your timing...

You can play 50 scrimmage games, but none of those will compare to a playoff game..

You can lose your timing staying away for that long.. and everything Floyd does relies on timing..

This has nothing to do with staying in the gym or being in shape
