Why is JMM moving to 140 a big deal?

[F l i c k e r]

Seriously, I want to know. I dont see why its such a big deal. People act like every boxer fights at their natural weight. In case you didn't know, Natural weight is the weight you walk around at. Not the weight you fight at. Alot of people here is acting like Marquez is a natural 130 when he isn't. The guy cuts weight to fight 130, not just eating dorritos or tortas and whatever else he wants. Then still be 130 without gaining weight.

Marquez came into the fight with diaz a PERFECT 140 POUNDS. He weighed in at 134 and then came to the fight at 140(outweighing Diaz by 1 pound). So why the hell are you all making a big deal about him going to 140. If he is in a fight weighting 140 pounds then what the hell? Really?

Marquez wont have to cut weight. So lets say his natural weight is 140. I remind you, that if this isn't his natural weight then it will be HIGHER not lower than 140. So, he doesn't even have to cut weight anymore. Because he wont have to cut weight, then his training camp will focus more on skill development rather than weight cutting.

Marquez will come in at 140 pounds. If not then ABOVE.
Mayweather will come in a good 147 max.

So whats the big deal?

I even have proof of my statements.... go to 8:10 if you dont see it as default.

I just made a similar thread "A question about weight" ... I think JMM should come in at 140 even.

[M.I Truth ?]

People make it a bigger issue than it is. 143 is an advantage for Mayweather no doubt. Thing is its only a 3lb difference from where JMM was going to end up anyways. In a perfect world JMM fights someone at 140lbs first to show he can fight there but Mayweather came back and gave him a chance to get paid. Also he will roll the dice since Mayweather has been out for 19 months he may catch him at a good time.

Because him moving to 140 means weighing in at 145, which would slow him down. Some people deal with weight fine, but other 4 or 5 pounds can be a big deal. Just look at Corrales-Castillo 2.

my only problem is that jmm won't have a chance to get acclimated to fighting at 140 lbs.

jmm should've atleast been given a chance to test the waters at 140 before jumping in there w/ floyd.
