floyd/jmm tale of the tape (floyd is the smaller man people!)

[Ray*]

Mayweather is bigger period!!! No amount of stats would change my mind, He's body looks filled out at WW and thats a weigh i havent seen JMM at yet.

[Ryn0]

looks to me like floyd is the smaller man no? he has more reach. but that seems to be his only advantage aside from speed which can't really be measured being that he is quicker than light. lol.

are his legs the difference maker? i hear the bigger your legs or the better base you have the harder you hit.

Please, Tommy Hearns had stick man legs....

[Pullcounter]

they get those numbers from floyd when he was at 130? lol

lolz epic fail

[Little Killer]

They are about the same size

[wmute]

Please, these stats mean nothing. And can even vary depending on the time of day!

Consider this, when Floyd was 18 years of age he was making 130 and after a very fine run he couldn't make the weight anymore by around the age of 20 (I tihnk it was 20)?

As you get older, you have to go up in weight - your frame fills out.

Marquez didn't even NEED to move up from 130 when he was THIRTYFIVE years old. He is a small lightweight, let alone a small Welterweight. The guy would still be at 130 if it were not for Pacquiao probably.

Floyd on the other hand looks fine at Welterweight and has fought in the Junior Middle division.

Yes I am also aware Floyd fights near his weigh-in weight but he is clearly bigger than JMM. To suggest otherwise is obscene.

Mayweather had his first fight at 135 at age 25, his weight by fight night was 139.

So Marquez could easily take a fight at 130 now?

Your post is loaded with BS, but Mayweather IS bigger than Marquez, not by much, but he certainly is.

Marquez has an 11.5" fist? The same size as Vitali Klitschko? Or how about his 44" expanded chest? That's almost as big as Mike Tyson's!

And we're supposed to believe these stats?

[nujabes77]

talk about delusionals...

[KILLA RIGHT]

Floyd is a real small wel imo most fighters his size would be fighting at 140 but with that said come on floyd is the bigger guy

Kostya Tszyu had a 42 inch chest...43 inch expanded.

for real. I am so sick of people acting like because the freak of nature Floyd doesnt put on a lot of weight after a weigh in means that all fighters should be fighting at their fight night weight. Most people need to weight drain to fight people their size, Floyd doesnt. He is in perfect shape at the 147 limit. That doesnt mean he is not a 147 lber, anyone who cannot make 140 is a 147 lber.

Anyway you want to spin it Floyd is 4 pound bigger on fight night , the recorded weight when they actually fight dont lie !!

A matter of fact you spin a story that is selling your hate because you deliberately leave out facts even though you have read them 100 times and you cant answer them , so go off and start the same spin somewhere else , the spin you put on weight and what it really means is more hate driven than fact driven .

Most people need to weight drain to fight people there own size you say !!
LOL , not because they need to weight drain , but because their opponent is going too so they themselves must if they want to be equally as big on the fight night , the 30 hr system allows them weight drain to gain an advantage in the first place then the opponent must so not to be handicaped , its being abused all the time and you guys ignore it ,,, ironically that doesnt apply to either of these 2 in this fight these 2 are fighting very close to their natural best weights , 144 and 147 .

What makes Floyd not a WW is not the " 147 limit " and him being able to weigh-in under that , on the contrary anybody under 147 can be said to be a WW if they want to fight in that division , that does not mean that you are a full fledged WW because you are there , the catch is when somebody like Cotto and Mosley take full advantage of the 30 hr system to dry out to just scrape in under 147 only to be 160+ on the night after putting the fluids back , this is what true WWs do from Cotto to Margo to Williams to Mosley full blown WWs using the 30hrs to its maximum potential to make them the biggest fighter they can be at the weight , Floyd is not and never will be a full WW .
