    The reason they don't rehydrate is because they don't dry down to an artificially low weight.

    Mayweather/Judah fought at 147. That was really a JWW fight. Ditto Mayweather/Hatton.

      Just say Marquez doesn't have the required skills to beat Floyd...cuz that's what it comes down to in the end...
      Exactly, it's a tune up, he's expected to wipe the floor with JMM, that's why he gets nothing from me.

      Marquez has than more than enough skill himself, if they were the same size it'd be a harder fight to call. Once again Floyd is taking the softest option with the least risk.

        That's another example. Only problem is that paul has prooved himself in that weight class.

          JMM is getting disrespected so much, the man is a great fighter. This is two great fighters fighting each other, sure Floyd is a little bigger then JMM but Floyd Mayweather ain't Goliath.

          I wouldn't even be that suprised if JMM won. I am not betting on the fight for this very reason.

            He might enter the list in the lower half. That will be based on past accomplishments. Anything but a dominating Floyd win in this mismatch, will be a dissapointment.

              Floyd started at 130 and JMM started at 126, sure FLoyd is a little bigger and that is always why I thought Floyd would beat JMM no matter the weight they fought at, but I still want to see it happean.

                By whom? The #1 P4P fighter barely beat the man...how is someone coming off a 2 yr layoff supposed to destroy him?

                  No change! He is suppose to destroy jmm, cotto, ssm, and pacq.
                  U guys jus keep feeding into the hype so he can create the illusion of being the all time best.

                    Great fighters do great things. Floyd is an ATG.

                    JMM is out of his depth at 144.

                    He's expected to beat the smaller man.

                      Agree.

                      A narrow points win for Floyd should probably also keep JMM above Floyd in the p4p rankings due to the huge leap in weight JMM is being forced to make.
