    i think it's sad and disrespectful people call Marquez; Mayweather's "tune-up" bout. FFS take his **** out your ass and respect fighters.

    It's a fight, plain and simple.

    Does the fight make sense? No, Marquez is at 135, will have to fight old and with added weight, againest still a fresh young fighter who fights at 147+ is basically pointless.

      It's a fight that doesnt make sense and floyd and his team specialize in making people think it will make sense, it will be relevent, and it'll be competitive and worth your $60.

        probably b/c he CAN'T make 3X as much fighting cotto or shane....

        if you haven't heard, pacman and hatton are fighting each other this weekend, so they won't be ready by july.

        you can bet, he'll be looking at the winner of that fight though.

          Well JMM should have kept his mouth shut instead of calling out Floyd.

            well everybody and their mama has been calling out floyd for awhile and he picks on the guy that has never been past 135. **** cotto, p.will., Marg, Sugar Shane, Hatton, Pac, and others have been callin him out for a long while.

                Mosley Called him out, Spinks called him out and so did Paul Williams. He could've very well choose any of the others, but he chose Marquez because its the easiest fight.

                  get off it....

                  he's called mosley out TWICE in the past, only to be turned down. PW calls out EVERYBODY, but is not yet a draw (and i'm a PW fan, by the way), and who gives a **** about cory spinks?

                  if it comes out that floyd made less than the 8 MILLION shane was offering, then you can say he ducked shane, but until we know the terms of the contract he's getting for fighting JMM, its best not to say anything.

                  you guys seriously OVERESTIMATE shane's drawing power.

                    Cotto didn't call him out.

                    "I fights who my peoples tells me to fights" sounds like fear to me.

                    Shane hid behind his dentist.

                    Tony chose Manuel Gomez when he had his shot at Floyd.

                    Williams wasn't on the scene yet.


                    Get your facts straight hater.
