Kessler is my man (when he's fighting that is) and I haven't seen any fight night weights on him.

Originally posted by Man In Black View PostI agree with the bold. The reason the thread has become contentious (mayweather oriented) is because of the presence of an individual like BattlingNelson, who is known to carry a certain agenda in his pocket at all times. A guy like that isn't any better than an ultramaroon like Deja_Vous when it comes to darkheartedness, he's just more 'polite' about it.

All these guys who appear to blow up a stone (or even more) between weigh-in and fight night are really just loading up their pockets with Mr. T ***ellery to frighten their opponents and ****.

I see it as a tune-up. You see it as a tune-up. There are a few that don't. Even some of the other anti-Floyd guys (like 2501) don't.
I think it's a fight that Floyd sees could be cagey for a while and give him a very nice workout without presenting too much danger, which is what a tune-up is. I don't see Floyd losing to a fighter who is smaller than himself -- even if it isn't the monstrous difference in size that you're making out -- unless it's someone with a unique kind of explosivity (like a Pacquiao).
But Marquez definitely has skills which could make Floyd work and think and get the rust out. And there is still an outside chance that Floyd has miscalculated and Marquez may give him far more issues than he or most others (including you and I) are predicting. Wouldn't that be special, though?
If you have a chance to make your tune-up something of a megafight between 2 of the ****-hottest names in the sport, wouldn't you take it?

Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III would both be amazing outcomes of this Mayweather-JMM fight. I can't really lose from the outcome of this fight.
What are your hopes and dreams for all this?

You said body size. Now you say natural size. Can you please enlighten me how to measure bodysize/natural size?. I'm curious since you keep on ducking the question. So far you've only said that weight and height isn't the correct measurement. What is?
And? So what?

Sure I would. Only thing is that it isn't billed as a tune-up but rather a battle for p4p supremacy.
No. But what's your point? My point is (again), Mayweather's the man in the matchup. JMM has to come to him, like Floyd went to the man to get what he wanted. I admire JMM massively. I admire Floyd Mayweather Jr. massively. And Manny Pacquiao.

I believe the real reason people dont want to accept what HBO and the trainers say is that it doesnt suit the agenda of haters, I cant think of a single reason why HBO would lie if they did I'm sure somebody would protest the stated fight weight ,,,, officially nobody ever has as far as I know .
I believe the HBO weights are very close , its to HBOs benefit that they are , no complaint in any interview by anyone , nothing anywhere that suggests its not at least semi accurate .
Maybe they should not weigh the fighters for fear the scales might not be as accurate as some of us believe they should be.
Human beings are not perfect, so all weights presented to us should be "un-official" because it really should not matter either way.
In fact, HBO should not even display the fighters' weights on the screen before a fight because they're not really as "official" as they say.
It's just deceitful to sign for a fight at a certain division only to weigh an entirely different division on Fight Night.
That's just my guess.

But, have it your way. Josh Clottey didn't really put on crazy weight after weighing in for his last fight. And Zab didn't really gain only a paltry amount by fight night. Like the Holocaust, that **** never happened. They were the same weight on the night, hell, Zab might even have been heavier, you couldn't really even tell by looking at them. It's all a conspiracy, played out with doctored-up scales and pockets loaded with curb-chains.
