Marquez: "My Skills Will Overcome Floyd Mayweather Jr"

[jetgeomcx]

I'm no Floyd fan by any stretch of the imagination. But here are the double standards. People call Cotto a warrior for dropping as little weight as possible to fight Pacquiao, but yet Mayweather is fighting JMM one pound lower than what Cotto is coming in against Pacquiao and gets bashed for it. As a fan of JMM, I would've rather had JMM fight Mayweather at 147 believe it or not. Skills pay the bills. There are already a couple of things that will take shine off of JMM's potential victory over Floyd. The ring rust and the rib injury. I want Mayweather to be at his absolute best so that one of my favorite fighters will get the full credit for beating him.

same thing i said about cotto-manny.
pacman should fyt cotto at 147 for the belt to earn full respect from all the fans.....win or lose!!
cotto won't have any problem going to 145, so why not fyt him at his same best.
cottofans won't be bitching about "weight-drained, cotto ain't in his best" at 145!!
cotto will rehydrate to his usual fyting wt after the weigh-in anyway...be it at 145 or 147.

first cotto would destroy pac....
then cotto is overrated and not the same like he once was....

which is which,
stop exposing yourself as a moron.....

When did I say he was overated cotto is not the same as he once was after that margarito fight hes not the same anymore and the way he look against clottey it shows but still he should ko pacs ass if he doesn't then he shouldn't be fighting anymore. Tell me when did i say he was overated or shot all i say he is not the same as he was against margarito or mosley or you still think he is the same fighter??? I guess you are the moron

I would like marquez to win he has somewhat of a chance since floyd is coming of a 2 year layoff but the thing is marquez gets hit way too much so i expect him to get picked apart.

I mean, I really do wanna believe this...but I won't.. he needs to up a footage of him sparring.. it don't matter if its 10 seconds..

Yea i hear you....i would definitely like to see a video as well not only for proof but because i would like to see more sparring from him...actually i would love to see more sparring,training,etc videos from boxers more often....this is why i'm a big fan of 24/7 and youtube,etc....we get to see/find exclusive ****.

But yea....i kinda do believe that he spars without headgear because at least (i being a Mayweather fan do not believe everything he says) i heard it from his mouth (audio) oppose to seeing it as text and not knowing if they made the story up or if it came from leonard ellerbe's mouth or what not.

simple. One is fighting pbf and one is fighting cotto. I may was fighting pac they would still say he was ducking the "true ww". What ever that really counts for.

No one claims that Cotto is a natural 140 pounder. When he last fought at 140, which was three years ago, he was severely weight drained.

But many Floyd fans, including the one I was replying to in the post you replied to, are claiming that Floyd is still a natural 140 pounder. A natural 140 pounder should fight a natural 130 pounder at 140 max.

If he's really a natural 140 pounder, as his fans claim he is, then making the fight at 144 was a ***** move, end of story. His fans can't have it both ways. A natural 140 pounder would have no difficulty in making 140lb, and would be able to fight at his best at 140.

If Floyd had made the fight at 140, it would have been considered a genuine legacy fight for him. As it is, if he wins, most neutral boxing fans will say "big deal"; and because of that, it's considered to be a tune-up by most neutral fans, not a legacy fight.

For his fans to persistently claim that he's still a natural 140 pounder, and in the same breath defend him for making a fight against a natural 130 pounder at 144lb, is pure hypocrisy.

On the Chris John vs juarez 2 topic.... i think that in the first fight chris john had better tactics and boxing skills, and he lumped up rocky juarez face a bit with jabs mostly, but he never buckled him once atleast from what i recall...and it seemed like in the later rounds juarez started to gain the momentum, at one point it seemed like he had john hurt toward the end for a bit, but the fight was about to end....almost seems like he ran out of time.

Rocky Juarez is a good fighter, i just hate sometimes when his activity and work rate drops in the middle rounds, especially against a rangy jab artist like john. His hooks are powerful, i know ya'll seen em in other fights like the jorge barrios fight....i feel bad tho that he has lost all his title fights, but i think he deserves this one, i'm routing for him. Besides, Chris John has been sitting on that wba belt way too long over there in indonesia, time to bring that back stateside, hehehe.

I don't understand why he doesn´t stand a chance....yet everybody wants and gives a chance to PAC....last time I checked PAC & JMM were both fighting the same weight with 2 close fights...

Simple. One is fighting PBF and one is fighting Cotto. I May was fighting Pac they would still say he was ducking the "true WW". What ever that really counts for.

[jetgeomcx]

Lol are you on crack??? by now means cotto vs pac is way better than JMM vs PBF, yeah probably cause all the media is on pacs nuts, who wants to see a fight where cotto would destroy the **** out of pac?? now if pac does that it will be funny and embarassing for ricans cotto should ko pac in less than 6. And soto aint't fighting valero on that card valero will probably fight demarco, soto probably david the joke diaz or maybe casamayor. Theres even talks about alfonso gomez appearing in the card lol what a ****ing joke.

I won't pay monev for pac and cotto ill watch it if somebody has it on but i sure won't ordered it and i just happen to know about 20 people that will do the same thing they will just buy the jmm vs pbf and not the cotto vs pac to much money for so little skill. Cotto surely is not on his game like he once was, pac ain't figthing nothing but overrated, or weight drained boxers and looking like a beast who wouldn't lol. On the other hand JMM is beating the top dogs and the toughest challenges and well pbf is undefeated and just happen to beat the two guys pac beat and who elevated him to superstar status with no advantages to him like pac did.

first cotto would destroy pac....
then cotto is overrated and not the same like he once was....

which is which,
stop exposing yourself as a moron.....

True but he does spar without headgear.

I mean, I really do wanna believe this...but I won't.. he needs to up a footage of him sparring.. it don't matter if its 10 seconds..
