Mayweather-Marquez Will Be The Biggest, Says Schaefer

[Dave Rado]

Vladimir Klitchko has good stamina? You and me must be seeing two different things.

Wlad hasn't run out of steam in any fight since the Brewster fight in 2004. And his name is spelt with a "W".

And Floyd and Cotto have never had to drop the weight that Roy had to, so what's your point on that?

The logic of your argument is that any fighter should be able to return to his previous weight, whatever that previous weight may be, and however much muscle he has put on since he was at that previous weight, without any difficulty whatsoever, provided he is fit.

Cotto can barely even make 147 in my view

There's no evidence to support that view. He has never looked dehydrated since moving up to Welterweight, and has never had to remove all his clothes or to have a second weigh-in.

Not a chance.

cotto has entered his last fights at 146 pounds... what are you talking about?

Margarito came in at 145 against Mosley, and yet he uses weight drain as an excuse for his defeat. I don't necessarily think that just because you come in a couple pounds below the limit you are not weight drained. Hell, De La Hoya only gained two pounds after the weign-in for his fight with Pacquiao.

During a recent conference call with the media, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said the upcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez pay-per-view, scheduled for September 19, will be the biggest boxing event of the year. When asked if it will be bigger than the November 14 showdown between Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto, Schaefer was positive it would be. [details]

biggest flop it will be.......
