How good a win is JMM for Mayweather?

[Doctor_Tenma]

Then tell me why he won't fight at 140 then? He wouldn't even do it at 144 lol.

I already answered you.

[Spacey1991]

if he is a JWW like u say he is, why didnt he fight hatton @ 140?

he shouldve been the 1st to hav 4 lineal titles if he did & not MP...

Hatton had a chance at 140 years ago but wasn't ready yet...

Hatton was the one who said he could outmuscle Mayweather at 147. Said Mayweather isn't even that big, it came out of his mouth. When Mayweather was at Jr WW, Hatton's father told Mayweather that Hatton wasn't even ready.

You were saying that Floyd isn't a WW yet fights at WW and want's to fight WW. Contradictions.

Floyd IS a legit WW and has fought at or above that weight for the last 4 years.

[C.Y.]

Yes I do and so do alot of people.

add me to that list.. haters will always be haters

SG mi amigo!

9 pounds...

its like israel vasquez who is a career 122 vs humberto soto @ 130...

or say steven luevano vs juan diaz...

its kinda unfair doncha think?

what's up mate

is it ideal? no, of course it's not... but Marquez won't go from ATG to bum over the space of 9lbs. the Marquez that enters the ring against Floyd will be a formidable opponent, i'm sure of it. and i'm confident JMM will prove he is above the issue of a few pounds come fight night, and will at very least give a great showing of himself

also, when taking a step back and looking at the full picture beyond official weigh ins it becomes apparant that the compromise Marquez has to make is not exactly miles away from size related advantages given up on a regular basis in boxing...

i don't like the term unfair for this fight as it connotes that he was forced into this position, when really he's pursuing the opportunity of a lifetime

the Marquez fan in me will be on here i told you so'ing all day the next day should he triumph against Mayweather

S.G...the thing is that...it isn't 9 pounds we're talking about. JMM will come in at 144, then drop down to 142 maybe. Mayweather will weigh in 144, come in 146-147. We're talking 4-5 pounds.

true, but i was more talking about the weight he is gaining that he otherwise wouldn't have, as opposed to his weight relative to Mayweather's

Just like Pacquiao who isn't a WW but is fighting Cotto at WW?

Please don't jack the thread in another diretcion. It's about Floyd-JMM and not Pac-Cotto.

So even if Floyd fights welters, wants to fight welters and has fought welters for the past 4 years he isn't a welter?

I'm talking about his size here. Ofcourse your gonna be labeled whatever division you fight in but I'm talking about his size. Still confused? I wouldn't call Floyd a natural WW, he is more a Jr WW to me.

You should have atleast known what I was talking about.

i think Dominicano is mostly referring to Mayweather's size

that is, he rehydrates to around 147-149lbs, which is generally the size of a modern junior welterweight come fight night
