    I mean why say that the fight is a legit p4p-fight, when it clearly isn't? Say that it's a tune-up because that's what it is.
    Something we can agree on. I've called this one a tune up also.

      Lol, it couldn't have been the bigger man wearing him down in the blistering heat, could it? I'll roughly quote what Maxim said after the fight when this same thing was mentioned to him....."what, I had air conditioning in my corner?".

          Did more than Pac in that division. You tried to discredit Marquez wins
          and performances at 135 by saying Casamayor was done and Juan Diaz
          don't have power but prior to Nate no one else beat Juan Diaz, and Casamayor was NEVER KO'd even though he escaped two close fights,
          so what are you saying? How can you discredit JMM wins at 135?

            Floyd didnt stage anything, he has no reason to even go to 144 FOR JMM, he doesnt have to even do that. JMM is the one who wants a big money fight and is being looked at as the victim when Floyd doesnt have to even concede going down to 144.

              about nothing? & why does Mosley want it again?
              what mosley is looking for is the money. if mosley fights and beats pacman well great. That won't give him the status. is a title of respect and it sells tickets so that's why it's used.

                  JMM would say anything for this career pay-day. It will not make the fight any more competitive.

                  You and I both know that the fight would be more fair if it was staged at 135-140 don't we?

                    Considering the ref fainted and had to be replaced and WASNT getting hit by Maxim, I'll go ahead and say it was the heat. Robinson was winning big on the cards. Robinson was 157 at weigh in while Maxim was 173, Floyd/JMM wont have any difference like that.

                      so what are you saying? How can you discredit JMM wins at 135?
                      when did i discredit his wins? i said that he looked slower and struggled against two guys that wouldn't be much of a threat if wasn't toned down at 135.

                      what, you don't agree with this? do you think that he's a better fighter at 135?
