mayweather fans, is cotto vs marquez @ 144 a credible fight?

[Burner]

HELL YEA.........

If Cotto is 148-149 fight night.

[UnDeniable]

But why not fight someone closer in size when inevitably you'll be fighting....wait for it......................the bigger guys?

Well, Ray Leonard came back from a longer hiatus and fought the Middleweight Champ of the World, not the Jr WW or lightweight champ.

Plus, Floyd is still according to him walking around the same weight that he left when he retired, so why not get back in fighting condition against guys similar to what you'll be facing soon enough?

I'm not making a huge deal about it, but Im just sayin...

The guy Floyd will be fighting is Pac, the biggest fight in the sport

Floyd is closer in size to Pac than he is to Cotto or Mosley..

If Floyd JMM is a build up to Floyd Pac then what is the problem

Because if Floyd gets criticised for fighting JMM/Pac then i'd criticise Cotto or Mosley if they ever fight Floyd

[yeykax]

Because JMM is a prelude to Manny.

That is who Floyd wants.................THE BEST.


Cotto and Tony are not the BEST.

Never have been...NEVER will be.

question after Floyd at W.W whos consider the best???Mosley beat Margo,Cotto beat Mosley,Quintana beat Pwill,Cotto beat quintana so Whos the best at W.W if non of these guys are???Zab?Baldomir?? Berto(well his too green)Maybe Clottey so whos the best????

[Pullcounter]

is it???????????????

I don't care about the circumstances... cotto/jmm should never get made. cotto is a MW on fight night. jmm is barely a WW. its a ****in mismatch of epic proportions.

Can Floyd make 140lbs anymore? If so, why doesn't he fight Marquez at 140 so they can meet in the middle...ya know, like Oscar did with Manny.

This why: For the last time.

Floyd hasnt fought at 140 pounds.........in 5 years.

Floyd hasnt fought PERIOD in 2 years.

Why in the **** would he try to get down to 140 in his FIRST fight back after a TWO year layoff???

Use ur head man.

I made a thread addressing this actually

No one read it obviously but I thought it was quite interesting

Floyd is currently a welterweight, right? 147lbs.

and Marquez a lightweight? 135lbs (yes, he is a lightweight now after KOing the two best fighters in the division consecutively)

Don't they say moving down in weight is far more demanding than moving up in weight?

So if the fight were to take place at exactly 140lbs (light welter), one division above Marquez and one below Floyd, surely then it'd be Floyd stretching himself to accomodate the opponent (he would be accountable for about 58% of the compromise and that's not taking into account losing weight being more demanding than gaining it) ? And is it really realistic, considering how much more he brings to the table than Marquez, revenue-wise, for him to be the one making the larger sacrifice?

So as it stands at 144lbs Marquez is accountable for exactly 75% of the compromise, Floyd 25%... But once you work in the theory that moving down in weight is more difficult than moving up in weight it would roughly look like 66% - 33%? Maybe even 60-40?
